Yes...that would be nice...just wondering if Dahlin has Bryson's speed? Steve Smith has demonstrated that he CAN'T coach with two different HC's and needs to be gone!

Did Rob Ray just complain "I'm just glad to get off this road trip because it's been a long one".....WTH - he and Dan are broadcasting from Key Bank in Buffalo! I guess he must have a long flight home.

You're supposed to try and win....not play keep away

Mittelstadt should have fresh legs....give him a shift.

Case in point....Montour's goal tonight!

Good timing for a TV timeout. Now score and let Sam get his hattie

The period started with a monster hit by Risto....maybe somehow it triggered Joki and now Dahlin was inspired...those are the best hits I've seen Joki and Dahlin dish out in who knows how long!

IDK, the wishful thinking part of me is hoping they're playing with a little more inspiration FOR their injured captain...but who knows.

I'd like to see an angrier version of Joki....could be a good thing.

I see 78 and I still think of Bruce Smith....I kind of like the idea of a Sabre with that number since there will never be another Buffalo Bill with that number.

Staal seems a little faster tonight after his haircut.

Wow...what a great hit by Risto!!!

WTH....no 2nd period collapse! They're really messing with my head tonight!

Both ends....I say put him on the PP as well!

That is a good argument! I might throw in Montour as well (Bryson as a replacement for)

Yes, I might be too old school, but I still prefer big, mean defensemen who can keep the crease area clear.

Insert Dahlin for.....

Nice play by Bryson on Van Riem's....who says he's only 5-8"

Wanna see Sam get his hattie on this PP!

For a while now I've felt the Sabres are absolutely terrible about making timely shift changes in the 2nd period. Philly's second goal took advantage of a defensive pair mis-match with Montour being out there too long. Victor's last shift was way too long as well. Need shorter shifts!!!

Kyle has been a turnover machine tonight....before the game I would have been happy with that...but for some reason I have been sucked into a trap of a good 1st period and now want to see our team win tonight.

Brent Peterson if I'm not mistaken.....great face-off guy!!!

I'll say this...with or without Eichel, they seem to be more willing to crash the net so far....let's see if it continues or disappears in the 2nd.

Eric Staal making a nice power move to the front.....increase that trade value!!!

Who says Cozen's isn't ready to play center!!!
