Gotta get that on net, Tage.

Yeah, if the player is possessing the puck that's okay.

Bryson having a brutal night.

Are you happy now?

Wasn't his first shift. He was out earlier.

Bryson needs to be stapled to the bench. I generally think he does okay but come on...

I saw it with the PIT coverage; I went in through Hulu and clicked the wrong one. Didn't switch back until just after the first shot by PIT.

Last time I missed a game because I took my wife to a play was November 15, when the Sabres came back from 3 down to be the Red Wings in OT. Think of this as a sacrifice you're making for the good guys.

After last game I think I'd prefer to see Rosen anywhere but the 4th line. I think he's a good player, just not that kind of player. I'd rather put Doan or Helenius on the 4th line: Doan because I think it would make the line even more abrasive *and* dangerous, and Helenius just to see how he'd do on an energy line.

I predict an OT or SO win for the Sabres. If they get to OT. We've seen the Pens can't win after regulation with 12 OT/SO losses.

Do we want to start a trade deadline thread?

The previous game was one of his best games as a Sabre. Second game of a back to back, even high energy guys wear down.

Meh. If Benson or Norris played that game, Sabres win. They were one stud player short, especially on the second night of a back to back. The point they earned puts them back in third place. In a long season I'll take 3 out of 4 points on a Florida road trip. The Sabres are what their record says they are and for the first time in many years, that's not that bad.

Back to the PP

Damned turnover. Come on guys.

We're the NHL's feel-good story this season.
