Dan and Rob spinning this one. Wow! Two in a row twice in 41 games.

Give up a breakaway on the PP. Then ice the puck. Make it stop.

You hear the organ going, no audience participation. How many are there tonight?

Seattle plays great team defense. They will likely protect this lead. I just want to see some life at this point. Win the period or something.

The last time he pulled Levi, UPL gave up 4 goals in no time. I would change goalie though, after chewing them out. The home stand to get back in the race is off to a poor start.

Not a good look. Boos would be more effective if the owner heard them. So Dahlin, If you’re mad enough to break your stick like that, then you better say something in the locker room. Call out the problems, all of them, and hold yourself and everyone else accountable.

Ugh. 5 is too many

It’s the blame the defenseman in the TV screen. Watch the Kracken play a layers. It always appears that 2 are near loose pucks. The are well coached.

The kind of decision 21 year old defensemen make at times.

Is Ray giving away Matty’s secrets again?

Nice to see 89 get one

I think we can still will this one. It’s going to take more concentration, honest hockey, and grit than they usually display. Again, the big guys have to step up.

Yup. We outplayed them most of the period and could not kill a penalty. Seattle will be much harder to play now that they have a lead.

Joker, not a great shift

He didn’t lose the puck in front of the net did he? It was 19, not 9.

Ugh. Krebs lost the puck. one mistake and it’s in our net.

Good Evening Teammates, Punch checking in. Big game. 3 in a row, or time to go! Go Sabres!!! Muscle Weight

As would Montour. And if we had Carrier we would have a better 4th line.

Very cool Marvin. The music scene before the Beatles is very well documented in records, now almost all transferred to digital, and in movies and books. I am a huge fan of jazz music that came out before I was born. If you remember the moon landing then at least a portion of Civil Right's movement should be a part of your memory too.

Our Top 9 is TNT, Skinner, Tuch, Cozens, JJP, Quinn, Mitts, Benson and Greenway. Greenway is the one to slide down to the 4th line, but still contribute a lot on PK and in checking line situations. That, and his rugged presence have a value that the other 8 do not bring. He could make our 4th line better. I would trade Greenway if he helps bring in a proven top 4 defender, I am talking about a veteran and a tough physical player - we will need to replace that aspect of his game. I could also include him in a package for a #1 goalie. Once we trade Greenway we have his role to fill once again. Fill one hole, make another - but you would think the Greenway hole is easier to fill if he is destined to be a 4th line guy. If the Greenway trade never happens I still look at adding a physical 2 way forward to the top 9, but the alternative is that one of our prospects develops. Östlund and Savoie should play in the AHL next season, they are not close to the NHL yet. Rosen or Kulich would have 2 years of AHL experience and a shot at the top 9, but I certainly would not give them anything. Kulich is bigger and more of a sniper between the two, he might be a good Skinner replacement down the road. I think that two of these four prospects should be included in trades to improve the NHL roster. Assuming Adams wants to get good at some point, he has his #1 pick and several top prospects to leverage into legit NHL help right now.

Psst! @Spoonman, its Tuesday.

If Adams gets working then I see him on the 4th line next season. A good 4th line. I see him as a PK guy and a defensive specialist with ability to contribute offensively. If he plays on the 3rd line, that’s fine. Sure, if you can get a legit top 4 D with Greenway’s experience and his size and toughness. You have to replace all of that. Then go for it I guess.

I just don’t see it. If we trade Greenway we will have a hard time replacing him. A very hard time. His skill set is something we don’t have in the near term pipeline.
