Dreams Burn Down

What a transition! Cozens with a beautiful finish.

Ice hockey players are simply badasses.

The Sabres had some missed chances, especially early. I hope they won't regret in later. They started fast, but slopped it up late.

WTF was that? Smith knew what he was doing there.

Damn, a bleeder there on UPL.

Skinnnnneeeeroooooski!

You're right. Quinn had a clear shooting lane a bit ago, but deferred.

I still don't know what to make of the white shorts on our reverse-retros.

If they continue peppering shots at the net like they did last game, the goals will come. Let's Go Buf-a-loooo!

I cannot muster an ounce of empathy or compassion for him. The team gave him the space and time to work through his myriad psychological issues and he ripped them to shreds on his way out. In the words of the late Al Smith, "See ya, Seymour."

Despite the loss, we played much better tonight than the last two starts. Hellebuyck was the difference. If we continue to play with this purpose and drive, the wins will come. In the two prior games, we looked listless and uninterested for good stretches. That wasn't the case tonight. Onto Nashville...

This is the most that I've seen our boys flying around since last Saturday against the Wild.

That's it, Tuch. Great hit!

Well, ****.

What a pass by Dahlin! The boys are rolling now.

Jost!! Great set up by VO. VO is beginning to make a believer out of me.

Let's just get it back.

VO! Finally, they cash in. It was only a matter of time.

It's a relief to have UPL back.

Clint Malarchuk brings back a lot of great Sabre memories for me. I had a lot of fun at the Aud in those days.

We recovered somewhat from the first 7 or 8 minutes. I liked what I saw for the rest of the period. I hope that we can build on it.

Positionally, they are too good on the PK. We may need to throw some pucks at the net instead of waiting for a perfect chance.

That was a heck of a feed by Mitts to Jost.

We are being physically overwhelmed.

That was a crap icing call before the goal.
