Fragile is not a good word to describe a hockey team. I think this is the opposite of the last two games. Start fast but fade in the 3rd.

[josh]

Oh yeah, Vesey. Fucking geek

[Gravesy]

Interesting game within the game here, namely the Mittelstadt v Andersson draft pick deathmatch. A titanic 4th line matchup.

[Ozzy]

Skinner always plays well against us....calling it now: First goal for Buffalo....Skinner.

 

Fragile??? :doh: ....is he kidding??? What are we....eggs? ...maybe goose eggs???

Lol. It's amazing how much less mad sabres fans are that Mittelstadt plays less than Sobotka than Lias behind Howden and Strome.

 

Lias would do a lot better playing with Sheary and Vesey than with the District V linemates he currently has, though.

[Dunny]

Krueger was such a smart hire. He's no Eagle Scout Leader like Quinn, but man I think we missed an opportunity there.

[jsrangers]

Maybe actually play hard and smart for 60 mins?

 

Still too soon?

Over/under on combined ES ice-time for Kakko and Andersson tonight: 11:30.

Over, tonight's the night Kakko ends up on the first line and Andersson gets away from Smith/Haley/McKegg

[Mistercosmic]

?Brendan Smith! It's a power-play goal!!?

I called his first goal in the GDT and he scored. I?m calling his second goal tonight. Kappo Kakko will score again tonight!

More like, "Skinner pirouettes through the neutral zone keeping the puck on his stick, enters the offensive zone, does a triple axel away from three guys in Blue, and scores high blocker."

Sounds stunning, but you clearly don't need these kinds of skills or such finesse to score against us.
