Good teams get credit for that kind of thing. I didn't say that, smh. Sure they played a great game, took advantage of a sluggish Caps squad. I loved how they played. But, lets be honest, the Caps are the cream of the crop in the Mass Mutual East Division, they simply didn't show up tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 I just finished watching the game. Some quick thoughts. Irwin should never play NHL hockey again. The kids up front really stepped up tonight. That was Cozens best game in a while. The ATM was creating O, killing penalties and Granato’s guys with the game on the line late. Dahlin is also playing like the kid we thought we drsfted I thought Bjork had a really nice game as well. Congrats to Togarski on his first win since 2015. He is so much better then Hutton. That was a lot of fun. Wash may have been sluggish, but the kids out hit and out skated them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Just saw a tweet that Tokarski pointed to the sky at the horn. It was his first win since his father had died and he dedicated the win to him. 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Toker is indeed better than Hutton. And Bjork is better than Hall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his first win since his father had died and he dedicated the win to him. I saw this as well. There are moments in hockey that transcend my pettiness. First games, first goals, and something like this. The kid (god I am old now) has been hanging around for years in the game and tonight he finally won a game and he honors his father demonstrating how long he's carried that baggage. I can't not be happy for him. Granted it helps that he did it with the Sabres and on a night like this. I was going other things tonight and had the game streaming on the side. Here's what I know... my son came down barreling downstairs a few times and asking me "Did you see that?", "Are you watching?"... I'm at a point where I can draw energy from his excitement. Just let the team keep this up. No way I can complain at the moment. It might not be everything it needs to be in the long term, but for this season it's what fans and players need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does the bare minimum and is rather dull. He kind of blends into the background. I often find Ray annoying though. I like Ray. He's a meathead sometimes and really smart other times. 3 hours ago, Cheektorado said: I'm not bad mouthing Sam at all but I don't think he has played many games in his years as a Sabre with the team playing this fast and intense. I have watched the last few games as to his play and I see it's speeding up slowly but surely. I want to see Jack's game do the same when he comes back! This is a great take 2 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: Just leaving this here...🙄 Why? 1 hour ago, Doohickie said: The pride DG feels in this group of players is obvious. Also, you can see he's living his dream. He's not worrying about whether he might be a candidate for the permanent HC job, he's just living in the moment. I know for a fact this is true. He doesn't love how he got here, but he absolutely wants to make the most of it. 2 hours ago, LGR4GM said: Idk who is wearing #37 but if it's Mitts, he's got a heart transplant 2 hours ago, Gabrielor said: Who had Mittelstadt resurrecting himself from clear bust to top 6 leader on their bingo card? I sure as ***** didn't. I did. Others did, too. Mostly because we never thought he was a clear bust. Other notes. Washington is old. Still pretty dern good, but old. I really like Reinhart. Other than the Dahlin "hook' the officiating was okay (Risto slew footed while simultaneously elbowing a guy into the boards with the ref looking right at him. it was awesome.) I'm Homogenic for Bjork. Really fun game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norcal Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 One thing stuck out to me watching tonight. The forecheck, notably Asplund and R2, puts alot more pressure on the D because of their speed, positioning and stick work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
