Mrtka: "this NHL is easy."

Radim Mrtka will be better than Owen Power

It's early but he looks more at home that Power ever has.

It's not impossible; Power will always have the inherent skating and offensive chops though.

Mrtka definitely has more bite in his game and the advantage of likely getting whatever amount of time he needs to develop.

His rookie season he showed a bit more gusto and had some great defensive positioning

[Taro T]

Byram saved a goal.  Not sure how he didn't get called for covering it in the crease (didn't look that closely at it, maybe the puck was outside the crease when it was under him) but still 2-0 Sabres.

They just made up for it on a weak holding call

He never held there

[Taro T]

Johnson loses his stick in the corner, stays with the play and seems to legally get the puck away from the Wing, but the ref did not agree.  2 minutes for holding.  Wings to the PP.

Very possible.

[PromoTheRobot]

A hold without using hands.

He definitely is more self confident than Power at a same juncture.

I think Mrtka skates as well as power did at 19.

[Taro T]

McLeod and Tuch on the PK.  Dahlin and Timmons the D.

Followed up with Norris and Benson and Mrkta and Bryson.

Did Mrtka put Bryson on his shoulders and skate around with him?

[Taro T]

Byram out for the very end of the kill.

[Brawndo]

Damn you Kane 

[Taro T]

Shoot.

2-1.  Kane.

Sabres still have issues with puck carrier below the goal line leaving the slot clear for a sniper to sneak in.  Lyon with no chance.

Should be a Sabre.

[Brawndo]

These aren’t bad seats. Especially when they are free

[Taro T]

McLeod robbed by Cossa.  (Well sort of, you hit him in the winged wheel and even with 14 extra lbs of muscle you probably aren't putting it through him.)  Great pass from along the boards by Tuch to him sending him in clean behind the D.

[thewookie1]

Good 1st; we look better than when Red Wings-lite played the Rochester Americans+

Mrtka got rubbed out by the net.

Hockey is actually better to watch from the end zones.

[LGR4GM]

Thought Buffalo did well that period. McLeod missed a could good chances.

Can you notice the improvement in the arena speakers?
