Doohickie

So going into last night's game they were 3rd place in their division. With the loss to Florida they dropped to 7th in the division, 12th in the conference. Does that affect anyone's view of whether they make the playoffs? I think they make it. I think Sabres will continue to grow as the season plays out. A team like the Panthers is already mature, knows there system, and the handful of new guys are just following along. The fact that they couldn't close the deal after hanging with the Panthers for two periods doesn't concern me that much.

Naw, they'll be good come November.

When Cozens/Quinn come around they'll be fine.

Guess not. Sure looked offside live; I'm surprised they didn't call it.

That was offside.

Well *****.

Nice time wasting there, Muel.

Wiley move by Krebs to goad Greer into a penalty too.

Great support behind the Sabres net by Krebs.

Everything but the goal.

Greasy. I like it.

Sabres will win. They got this.

I don't have a clue where his brain was going there.

That goal is on Dahls.

Oh you're kidding me.

Shots on goal 4-1 in favor of the Sabres so far.

I dunno, I've seen him cracking jokes and such, but he seems pretty taciturn most of the time.

I'm with you. I just popped in to say this is the day Cozens breaks out.

Rasmus does not project the persona of someone you'd want to have a beer with, like Tuch does. Tuch as an upstater "one of us" and is more familiar in his mannerisms and such. I think Dalihn simply isn't naturally charismatic and doesn't try. That says nothing about how he relates with his fellow players in the room. I'm kind of working through this for myself: When I think of a captain I think of a charismatic guy, a guy who exudes positive vibes and an upbeat nature. But those aren't qualities of a captain, they're qualities of a PR person. Often the two line up but I don't think it's necessary that they do. Maybe it's best that the captain is a reserved, nose-to-the-grindstone type of guy. The happy happy feel good coach is gone; we have a more intense, more serious coach and it makes sense to have a more serious captain. In short, being captain is not about the fans, it's about the team.

He needs to comb his hair. 😀 I comb my hair and I don't look as sharp as him.
