I'm beginning to think neither Rasmus Dahlin nor Tage Thompson will allow us to miss the playoffs. Gonna be tough to lose every game we score 4 or more in.

If we win the next 5 forget about it, we'll be well in the playoffs.

I just still can't believe we live in the "Tage Thompson is an elite 1C" timeline of the universe.

What a world

Sabres deciding to score 8 goals a game rather than preventing 5 goals:

I don't think there is a player like Tage in the NHL. Obviously McDavid is better along with some others but the guy shoots 100 mph, can stick handle like he is shorter, steals pucks, has good skating.

He is just fun to watch.

What a home run that Tage contract is.

Adams should win GM of the year alone for that fleecing.

Sometimes that's just what you have to do. How great does UPL feel right now? He's hunting a donut on that scoreboard tonight. Stay on their throats! I want that kid to get a shutout.

We are averaging four a game and have won 4 out of our last 15.

Have a feeling the rest of the game is going to be kind of a dud.



Lol trying to get Columbus back in this game.

Just keep taking the garbage cans out in a different order, that should help.

He was referring to the Mitts line, which of course is a -1 in a 6-1 hockey game.

Mitts line and the Bryson/Pilut pairing are nightmare fuel.

On the bright side, maybe Ryan Johnson signs here after all. The irony being he is exactly what we need on the third pair
