Doohickie

Columbus up 5-3 on the Avs in Denver and giving them all they can handle.

Synopsis: Knight is a sieve; they traded the wrong goalie.

And I'm gonna need it. A lot of it. I think Modelo is now my drink of choice for Sabres games. 🙂

I would say Dahlin actually had a poor (for him) game.

Okay fine.

Coupla nice stats from tonight.

My general impression of the game: The Panthers like to play a high pressure game and force the play, cycling it in the zone, etc. The Sabres did a great job of getting into passing lanes, disrupting everything Florida was trying to do offensively.

Wow, did you see how Tage won that faceoff? He's getting pretty savvy on the dot.

Yeah I noticed that too. Krebs seems to be responding well to that.

And yet that resulted in an excellent opportunity on the rush.

Actually they showed the replay- it glanced off Knight's skate. Missed it by *that much*. Okay now cap this game off with a PP goal.

If he buried that one I would have said yes. But really, I have to say he's faced the challenge of the bottom sixers Kevyn brought in and he's earning his ice time.

Krebs needed that one.

Illness.

SAMSON REINHART IS FINE. I was thinking.... he was my favorite Sabre when he was in Buffalo, and now he's my favorite player who's not a Sabre.

That goal is on Clifton.

It just sounds... odd to see someone say that.

Dylan, however, is fighting it.

If he finds that gear again it would bode well for the Sabres.

And Rayzor just said the same.

Thompson is feelin' it tonight.
