Hey, Colin Blackwell is the intermission interview on NYR broadcast. Living the dream each day, 27 about to turn 28, and he's just trying to make it. Thus he skates with passion, energy, and Eichel probably isn't the only top-line opposition that he drives bonkers simply with hustle and will.

We don't have any of these players. We don't have a single player who is forcing his way onto the roster via effort and the coach can't keep him off of it.

Blackwell thought for sure his 45 points in 61 Games for His AHL Team would be good enough for a late season call up with the Parent NHL Club. The GM associated with the parent club determined that the NHLTeam Lineup was too good for him to crack and he didn’t get a chance in the NHL until last year with Nashville.

The NHL Lineup that was too good for Blackwell to make was Your 2017-18 Buffalo Sabres, the First Team in NHL History to finish in 31st Place.

We're skating faster tonight, a bit more desperation/effort than any of the games in the last 2 weeks. (To the untutored, visored eye.)  Although the lower camera angle vs. Marine Midland makes it look faster. Still... they're more engaged.

Shestyorkin with a great positioning. Skinner had nothing (Edit: on the first shot). The second... too far wide.

Schaller, Blackwell...  there's a couple effort guys who have either carved out...

How the hell did Hutton drop that?

... or could carve out 5-10 year NHL careers simply because they're savvy and put in the effort.
