    Does anyone else always say Tyson “Yost” in their head when they read his name? No? 

    Ok

    Can I also toot my own horn that I’m like the only guy here who said Mittelstadt could and should be moved to wing and would be better there? 

    Consider it well tooted.

    Yes

    I say/read it that way everytime. Going to continue to do that, too 

    Sounds better that way anyway

    I generally don't like to dump on goalies but there was some shoddy goaltending in this one (both sides). 

    Ducks are in the tank. Fully immersed. 

    I found myself wondering today could Cozens be our Bergeron and Krebs be our Marchand? Cozens really seems to be coming into his own and is only being held back by being saddled with the rookies. Quinn shouldn't be in the NHL. He's just not ready. But Cozens has got it all and that drive and focus with 2 way ability is making me think Bergeron. 

    Some will say Krebs isn't a dirty Marchand type rat, but watch closely, it's coming. Kid likes to get in close, toss an elbow, a slash, a little butt end, scraps and yaps. Sure, he hasn't licked anyone (yet) but I can see the Marchand in him developing. Eichel trade looking even better. We need that. 

    Lybushkyn was good today. Solid play as others have said.

    Tage is bothering me though. He just seems to be floating at times. Lacking desire? Just not into it? Head elsewhere? idk. Might be nothing. See how it goes. 

    This game was more like it should have been against Chicago. With good goaltending this game is 6-1 or a shutout. 

     

     

    I agree with most of this apart from the goaltending comment regarding the Sabres. 

    Gibson has been subpar for a while, not sure what happened, but there was a time where he was a very good goalie then just dropped off. Maybe he gave up mentally as Anaheim began their deterioration. 

    UPL was instrumental in the NYI win and then did what he had to do today. A few months back he did look shaky, but I feel he gets a little better/ more confident as the game progresses. Settles in. He seems to come up with huge saves at highly critical times, so the slow starts do not bother me 

    If you look at UPL in this game alone, he stopped 34 of 37 shots. That's an excellent save percentage. I'd like to see him lower his GAA, but I believe save percentage to be the more important stat. And he is improving there methodically with each passing game 

    He's our number 1. Easily
