Yup. They don't have the holes we do, everyone is solid on that team. They are not breaking in 3 rookies and several sophomores either. But top end talent, we have closed that gap and we have a lot of emerging talent.

Skinner just wasn't buying what Ralph was selling. Skinner has become a more complete player under Granato and for sure you're right it is unusual for a veteran to improve his overall as much as he has. Makes me think he had it all the time.

I do not think Tampa has twice the talent but they have less weaknesses and they are a veteran team that has won multiple cups. Talent wise we hang with them. Experience and mindset is the difference.

Mathew’s should not be 2

Austrian

Unless Adams trades for a stud power forward on the last day of the deadline.

What is your trade? Sounds dire.

Hello Super Duper, can I help you? Do you have Janitor in a Drum? Yes we do. Well you better let him out before he suffocates.

Shot attempts were about even. We missed the net a lot. They blocked a lot of shots and passes.

True. But the way the calls were going …

Interesting stat from Tampa post game Giveaways: Tampa - 11 Buffalo - 3

After seeing the replay a few times I am shocked that Looby didn’t get called for hooking.

Dave Andreychuck working for the Lightning post game.

He was. They had 4 on 3 for a long time and Comrie held up.

You still want 1 point ????

Loooooobey

Guess they forgot to wink.

And no intent to clear it

They call that but not the elbow. I would be throwing sticks on the ice at the ref.

But these Moron refs were spot on for “two many men on ice” and yet two refs and two linesmen miss that dangerous elbow to the head.

Terrible non call. Elbow, draw blood.

Two is still want we want.

Just dies not have the size, strength, and athletic ability to get up toward the puck and come out to the shooter from deep in the crease. That was not easy either in fairness to him.

Sabres cannot lay back and be intimidated

Point made all of that happen.
