How many passes did the Sabres make below the goal line without losing the puck before controlling it out of the zone?

Kozak is a Sabre. An Amerk no more.

Hips. He has natural hips.

Ah. Addition by subtraction.

How to maximize the return though? He needs to play some NHL games.

I dated a ghost once. I knew it the moment she walked through the door.

Kulich into the fray!!!!

fify

Kulich needs to be a little harder on the puck.

Bah.

I called it last season.

JINX!

Probably some prospect that got injured during a preseason game so he's still officially on the Sabres roster.

Doohickie reporting for dooty!! Looks like the Sabres are playing well.

Does he? Well he seems to get under your skin... 😉

I would put McLeod in that group too.

Could be complementary skill sets of their linemates. The Sabres needed more grit and they got it in Doan. McCloud plays pretty fast but isn't overly physical. Tuch is physical and skilled. It sets Doan up in a good position. Meanwhile in Utah (and granted I don't know much about the team), maybe Cooley and Guenther are defensively responsible enough that a free roaming JJP doesn't hurt the line's +/- numbers.

Krebs is a get-under-the-skin agitator. It's less tangible than scoring or physical hits, but he gets opponents off their game.

P.S. I like our 4th line too. Same. On both counts.

Note:

When Sabres show up? The "This is the way we play" team or the vastly inferior slackers? Let's hope the Real Sabres show up (and the Real Sabres are the good ones!) The season is young but if the Sabres want to show they're in the hunt, they need to play like this is a MUST WIN!

I never let accuracy get in the way of a witty answer.
