Several people in the thread have enjoyed my calls for years, and have messaged me to tell me so. You could simply pass, but you're clearly obsessed.

The people who are upset when the team wins...those people, they could leave here tomorrow and this would be a better place.

Idk what to tell ya
I think WGR blows

I wish we could bottle the Jeff Skinner from last night and bring him out 60 more times. The entire Montreal bench wanted to fight him last night. First time I've seen that guy all season. He was all over during our good run last year.

That's the problem when your team is so thin up front. When your best line is on, like last night, it's fantastic. When they're not, which is inevitable during an 82 game season, this team becomes a chore to watch.

I feel like hes been playing good all year. Only time its not been good is when they break up the top line. But even tuch has not looked good off the top line at times. Speak volumes about where tage is at making other people better.

Man his energy is contagious. Have not seen his face that red all year. He was going extra yesterday

Skinner is even directing plays now, as he was telling Tage to pass to Dahlin on the first goal, and he was pointing out Jokiharju was open for Tuch to pass too on that goal.

Apparently Skinner got a warning about his chirping after that last goal from one of the officials, and the general response was that the official sucked 😆😂

Kind of a wierd stat. I'm not sure at all what to think of it. Nice to see Power there with Karlsson to be sure, but I guess I think I'm more interested in total zone entries.

secondary assists don’t mean as much 😉

That guy we should’ve picked over Owen Power because of his NHLe rating

Best top line they've had since...

Gotta be at least 15 years.

Kane-ROR-Reinhart is probably the closest over the drought years because Eichel was usually playing Pominville and Girgensons. The one year with Skinner was good

I thought it was Matt Beniers...?

There should sometimes be 3 assists given out on scoring plays when the initial pass is this good.

Power -> Tuch -> Thompson -> Skinner.

4-1 Sabres.

Thompson has 6 multi point games already this year in 19 games

In ROR’s last year in Buffalo he had 12 multi point games in 81 games


Tage has 3 games of 3+ points in 19 games

ROR had 3 games of 3+ points in 81 games in

It’s seriously baffling how we ended up with the clear cut better player after all that complaining about that trade.

Beniers would’ve been the wrong pick but an understandable one

There were people wanting Eklund #1 overall

Best transaction of the Adams era, that and finally trading Ristolainen

The first 2.5 years were pretty rough.

Tage was a nothing burger for 1.5 years.

The transformation is Josh Allen like.

There are some gems in the postgames. The players must have talked about toughness and being there for each other. Meatballs alludes to it. Tuch also gives a fair amount of credit to Anderson for talking to the team about defensive responsibilities. It almost sounded like Lindy Ruff "offense comes from playing your defensive responsibility" hockey. Seems to work for Lindy too.

I also liked Skinner's "we need to follow it up"

Maybe Briere had a similar explosion? He became a dominant playoff performer in Buffalo.

great game for everyone not named casey, victor or vinny

Krebs-Mitts-Crouse

Would be a decent 3rd line on paper. To much softness and not enough defense right now.

The black version, right?

I think they really messed up the white one. Shouldn’t have gone with white pants and the dumb yellow triangular graphic on the jersey wasn’t necessary.
- Hatboro_Swords

I think if they had yellow helmets instead of blue they would have made the jerseys pop a little more, blue helmets kind of ruined it. I like the white pants

for as much as we refer to Kreuger as a hockey terrorist because of his work on dahlin

his work on skinner might be worse?

I like the white pants

That makes one.
