Doohickie

Did anyone else notice that late in the game Jost was back on the fourth line and Krebs had moved up to the third? Do you think he's "graduated"? It will be interesting to see if they leave him on the third line going forward. It will also be interesting to see what they do with Mitts when Skinner comes back off suspension.

I wanted to see what the L.A. coverage thought of the Sabres in the third period so I'm rewatching it with their coverage. I have to say this: Anderson in his red and black goalie pads stirs feelings in me that a goalie has no right to stir.

No, you need to be committed. Omit (Just kidding) next time and step on his throat.

He plays bigger than Bryson, for sure.

I think Bryson has a little *too much* poise in that he thinks he has more time than he does and then is forced into a bad pass and/or a turnover. Clague brings a bit more of a physical element too. And finally, he and Fitzgerald seem to gel nicely.

I watched that on loop for a while.... sooooo good. As soon as Quinn passed it back I was like, And when the puck got through I knew it was a slam dunk.

Quinn pass was a beaut backhand Those two are hot ***** and they know it.

I thought Clague and Fitz played very well on the third pairing. Clague isn't the most talented player but he does have good hockey sense. Bryson was a turnover machine.

So lucky Hopium isn't on the banned substances list.

Hopium, man. Hopium.

Terrible game until the third.

I WASN'T EVEN THINKING IT.

Yeah but once the Luby's Cafeteria senior special starts at 4:00 he gets distracted. Luckily the Kings have no finish. It's like a team full of Krebsies.

That song is so sad it can't be called a jingle.

For those of you in the Buffalo local market, this is what comes up EVERY commercial break for those of us out-of-towners watching ESPN+: PLEASE ESPN MAKE IT STOP.

Close the gaps, kids. Close the gaps. Giving the Kings way too much room.
