Tuch is riding an unsustainable hot streak, but we could use 2-3 more Tuch’s

Dude is a Mach 1 tank and he actually drives the net hard. I would take 10 more

no last week you gave him .125. We're in construction, so you know the difference between 1.25 and 0.125

And no, if anything, my minimum is 1.5

I don't think so. I think he's just being used in a much bigger role. Drawing a S% is too small of a sample, but he's dominating possession almost every time he's out there. He's analytically earning his points. Yeah maybe he's not an 82 point player, but being utilized like this, I'd be stunned if he doesn't put up Reinhart numbers.

So technically yes you're right. He'll settle into a 65 point player, I think.

Nice thing too is that he seems to be meshing with multiple different linemates.

The guy is just (frank)ing solid. If Cozens morphs into Tuch, that'd be supreme.

Well, you know, the wanting-to-be-here quotient isn't a static multiplier. It fluctuates.

Or I misplaced the decimal. Hard to say

Rivers and Petey's got a hard on for this guy, and it appears to be justified.

I absolutely love watching him play. What a get by Kyvyn.

You're not forgiven for your goalie fiasco.

I've got a bathroom job if you're willing to move the decimal forward.

I can let you borrow the 5 dollars with the exchange rate.

I think their drive is similar, but I would definitely say Krebs is a weaker (physically) playmaker, where as Peterka is more a power forward.

Very excited to see Cozens, Krebs, Tuch, Quinn and Peterka roaming around for the next few years.

Peterka definitely uses his body more, but there relentlessness going after the puck is very similar.
Definitely gonna be fun watching that crew and whoever we add this year.

Had the pleasure of watching this game live. These 2 teams do not need to waste money on equipment. I have seen more contact in a seniors home at lunch time.

I smell bottom 5.

Was told there’s no value in trading for role players outside the core, this roster is a trade deadline away from contending……

Nice win. Actual NHL goalie.

Tomorrow's news: Anderson out 2-3 weeks with UBI.

- BeadyEyedDouche


Not sure if you actually watched the game but I can tell you Anderson had a horseshoe up his a$$ for this one. If you actually believe he's the only actual NHL goalie the Sabres have had in a while I'd say whatever he is the rest are.

Seems obvious that Anderson is still hurt, but please continue to go off.

Yeah, don't get this. Especially after watching his post-game. Seemed like he was having trouble turning his neck to right when he would get asked a ? from that side.
