My phone dings. I thought to myself, "did they score first for once?" Silly me.

They can play defense and they can score goals. But doing both at the same time is a whole other issue

2 wins in a row:

Congrats to Comrie, nice to see. Hopefully his health and good play continues. He's been pretty good down there so far Also, 6 goal outing (none from Kulich). Multi point game from the Russians though: Kisakov and Neuchev. According to the writeup, Neuchev has a 5 game point streak, sure would be nice to see him take a step this year.

get it novikov! big man smash. good luck wrestling that grizzly bear

His stats look good because he has played good. They may not be all star level stats, but give the man his due. He has been a bright spot this year

it's insane how much this kid has come around. not all that long ago he was sent back down to rochester and considered a likely bust. now, we're talking about whether he should be voted to an all star game. good for casey and good for the sabres being patient (there's that word again!) with him.

I think that's the bronze medal game, they already lost in the semis to sweden. that shot was a laser! here's the video

keep tage off the pk while we are up 5-1...

How many points did savoie end with? I feel like it wasn't a lot

Ed Oliver earning that paycheck

Or we just aren't good enough in general. Opponents jump out to an early lead and then coast the rest of the game

hat trick kulich:

since they got embarrassed last game, i suspect they will come out and play like an NHL team. let the roller coast ride continue!

Miami (10-4) remaining schedule: Dallas Baltimore Buffalo Buffalo (8-6) remaining schedule: Chargers New England Miami That final game may be for the division. I think they still have a shot at it after the wins the past two weeks. Miami has had issues beating decent teams

I think they all care, tbh. But how much do they care varies from player to player. The second part of this is how you define caring. Is caring devoting all of their time towards hockey related things? Then all of the new fathers probably wouldn't be defined as caring about hockey. Do you define caring as putting in the work in game to be competitive and not just float around the periphery? Then I feel like half or more of the team, under this definition, would be defined as not caring. Do you define not caring as not having any preference between winning or losing? Then I suspect the whole team would be defined as caring (once again to varying to degrees). I think the whole team cares about winning vs. losing. But the team, as a whole, doesn't care enough to consistently put forth full effort in-game. I.e. they aren't fighting for pucks as hard as they ought to be all the time, they aren't getting back on d as quickly as they should be all the time, they aren't locking in on their own role within the defense all the time. I would guess that some of this in game "not caring" is derived from Donnie probably not motivating the players right. The other part of it is that it is not natively in most of their DNA (aside from a few). They were all first round picks that have been able to skate around the opposition and score goals at will for most of their careers. The other parts of the game just don't come naturally.

If the kid wants to, sure. I know that if I was in his shoes I would want to stay with the big club. His play has merited him being in the conversation of what should happen, in my opinion

Take your time coming back Gus, no need to rush it!

Not that it matters at this point, but Mitts needs to be willing to pull the trigger there...

good for krebs. love that

Tahoe knight monsters? 😄 Sounds like they took name nominations from a kindergarten class. What were the other nominations, "wizard men" and "fighter guys"?

People of exceptional taste and class

Tage came back early last year and played hurt... and was bad to the point that the sabres may have been better off without. I respect the guy's toughness, but I hope he's not coming back again before he's ready
