I didn’t sleep a minute last night.

I was glued to the TV news stations who had doctors on and Twitter just hoping for some good news

It just magnifies any problems you got going on in your personal life too. Makes everything seem worse.

Tage man, unreal

I mentioned it a few times over the summer after he signed his extension that Granato mentioned that he would have had a lot more assists last season but his teammates didn't finish off those plays. Granato thought Tage was an very good playmaker as well.

We are really seeing it first hand

You are absolutely correct.

We often look to outside things like sports to give us those couple of hours a week to just escape and then when something like that happens it shakes you to your core.

Of course it was.

When he pulled up and went back toward the blue line instead of getting it deep, you could tell what was about to happen.

$5 million in less than 24 hrs is just incredible. Especially when I bet most are 20-50 bucks.

Really frustrating that they just keep running them out every night.

He came into camp as 1C, before Tage became Tage.

You mean when he lost the puck at the blueline and flopped on the ice.

Yes, thats called interference and it is a penalty.

Did I miss where tackling a player without the puck is allowed in the NHL?

Even if it was a penalty, he wouldn't have to worry about a non-call if he didn't make the stupid decision to (frank) with the puck towards the blue line instead of getting the puck deep.

I’m not sure why Samuelsson keeps getting a pass for being dreadful lately.

What exactly is he doing on that play? There’s no lane for him to jump up and try and accept any pass. A capital was right there

Solid road period. Tage looks extra special tonight. Beautiful play for Tuch's goal by Skinner first and then Tage. As pretty as it gets. Major credit to UPL for walking out and cutting down the angle on OV's one-timer. Be ready for the hits because they're coming. Keep your feet moving and make good decisions with the puck quickly. Washington really started taking time away after the PP goal. I expect they'll come out like that in the 2nd.

Well maybe the worst is behind us with the news you posted and the Sabres looking good against a team that’s been playing good. Was good to read some good news. Thanks.

Ya, its something that Happens to Buffalo the defense gets caught flat footed.

That being said, the Washington player literally tackled Mitts to prevent him from catching Milano. Thats a penalty.

You can watch the replay already on NHL.com

Looked more like he fell and the Washington player fell over him if anything. Fantastic play at the Blueline though.
