Two Habs power plays to the Sabres' one and the Sabres are outshooting them. That's a good sign.

Thompson and Skinner are hungry.

Dam son.

Good work by Quinn to draw the penalty.

I'm painting my living room and had to get to a good stopping point.

JJ's gonna be sooooo good. You can see it already.

@Doohickie reporting for dooty! What did I miss?

Still need to move Olie to PP1

I think we all knew it; that's the first report I've seen that actually says it.

Facial fracture finally affirmed.

Home cookin' favors the Sabres tonight. Wing-fed Sabres surge; poutine-less Habs falter.

Ah yes you can tell the season has started.... the annual PP complaint thread.

???

To be fair, if @matter2003 didn't happen to poke into those threads there is no way to know.

Largely invisible. But the whole team was ass last night.

That's at least the third time this video has been posted on the forum.

I think all the good tutelage Donny gave them about controlling gaps was disrupted by the addition of new Dmen. Gaps were a little larger because Dmen were playing a little deeper. The short period of developing chemistry among pairings was also disrupted and new pairings had to mesh; a couple of the goals were breaks when there wasn't adequate coverage for pinching D, for instance. Scrambly defense led to jumbled offense. I'm not saying we don't need D help right now, but I'm saying me *might* not. Give them a bit more time to review video and practice. Also anyone writing off Pilut as an NHL Dman right now is being hasty. Dude was probably still jet lagged.

I'm not going to write him off after one game, his first in the NHL in over two years.

Okay stick a fork in 'em.

Off of Pilut?

Give the new D, particularly Pilut, a few practices to settle in.

I think they gassed themselves.... early on the D were leaving big gaps which put the Sabres into chase mode.

For a big third period. Have faith.

Does everyone agree that Muel is worth every penny?
