fun 1st period. thought Lehner played well though let up a couple juicy rebounds. Eichel had some nice plays and some plays where he turned the puck over or didn't get the puck deep in the Av's zone for line changes. O'Reilly has been sharp, and the Av's speed is definitely on display. They are a fun team to watch, just hope the Sabres can keep up with them.

No flow very choppy too much sparring back in forth in the neutral zone. Let them skate!

lots of sloppy weird bounces off the start, but it was quick, period started to open up near the end. Teams can fly so open it up

also pregame ROR and duchene were yuking it up chatting at centre ice.
Yup Dater sure really has been hitting the nail on the head with his blogs about ROR will get boo''d and how their relationship was rocky.

Guys a goof

you will always get boos (always will have those fans at games) but its not like the whole arena is on his back booing him.

(also I am watching the Avs feed so I don't know what the sabres feed is saying or coming off as)

Winnipeg's been scouting the sabres hard these last few weeks. Gotta be more than just McGinn
- Sabresfan-365

I hear they're interested in Tyler Myers.

It was cool, but very out of place to hear sound over the speakers during play.

They did for a minute there on the PP, but for the most part, yeah, they've been cool.

He was an exciting prospect a while ago but turned out a bust.

I hate to say it, but there's a major difference between O'Reilly and Kane and it has nothing to do with level of play. That seems to be the main factor.

He's a different bust.
Nearly as big a waste of potential as Drew Stifford.

It's the cap

It's always been the cap

It will always be the cap

It has just as much to do with all the penalties they don't call and let go and the downstream affect that has on overall game play and speed of the game.

LOL yeah, that must be it, they like the lumberjack look instead. At least they didn't throw a banana at him like some bumholes did to Simmonds.
