That was holding?

Skinner PAY ATTENTION

Their goalie will be rusty

Nice backcheck by Tuch there.

The Sabres have this habit of dusting off the puck before they do anything with it, especially in the defensive zone. When they do that the Canucks close FAST. By delaying the Sabres are actually pressuring themselves, taking away time and space for them to do anything and giving Vancouver a chance to disrupt the Sabres' passes and clears.

Finally a push from the good guys.

Canucks sending the pressure, constant pressure.

Yeah, I heard they were going to tour this summer.

At the end they were protecting a 4 goal lead. I don't mind if they Alamo'ed a bit, especially since they didn't allow any goals. Mike Grier, perhaps?

Yeah, he was in my list.

Random quote from the Avs forum on HFBoards: I think we all know what he means.

There are dozens of them. Like @Mango said, Bob Dylan, plus Mark Knoffler, Neil Young, Joe Cocker, etc. Are any of these guys good singers from a technical standpoint? Does it matter? If you like the music you like the music.

It's actually funny in a way: There are all manner of male singers that aren't the best singers but are great entertainers and the world embraces them. But heaven forbid a female singer may be considered mediocre. I could name a ton of male singers that are great singers but not very good singers (you know what I mean). No one cares. The music is good, that's all that matters. But one female singer who maybe doesn't sing like a songbird? Throw shade her way!

See also: Mick Jagger. As a singer I think he's awful but as an entertainer/front man, one of the very best.

3-1 would have been fine, if they'd have won the game in Detroit.

Rich Strike had a 1.25% chance to win (80:1 odds).

On the other hand.....

(They're already too far behind, but maybe the teams ahead will choke more than the Sabres do.)

She sings better'n I do, innit?

I think we all knew this was the End Game of this thread.

If getting outshot 18-8 in the third period is shutting them down then yes, that's exactly what the Sabres did. Once again UPL earned a star. I will say, though, that the Kraken effort in the third was typical of post-tank Sabres: Lots of shots from the outside; Oopie only had to make a couple tough ones.

Yeah but it's impressive when the fancy stats back it up. Luckily Buffalo fans know how to imbibe their coping mechanism.
