atta boy Cody

Nice job Cody

 

[Myllz]

There was, but it wasn't Ehrhoff, it was Leopold that had his stick between Tavares' legs.

Could've been, I was watching Ehrhoff's stick. Ehrhoff just hit him.

 

[jamers]

I feel like this team plays rope a dope, and the Vanek line is its only counter.

 

[Strexvale]

Could've been, I was watching Ehrhoff's stick. Ehrhoff just hit him.

Yeah that was my first reaction as well, I thought there was no way that was a penalty, but on the replay Leo's stick was definitely right between his legs.

 

[couture23]

Way to go Cody, draw that penalty.

I really can't wait until Zemgus is with the big club, I'm sure he will be on the PK over PK.

 

[CrankyJay]

Would love Tavares on the Sabres...

 

[One Winged Angel]

Vanek is just disgusting. What a start. You guys got a gem in him, arguably the most underrated star player in the league.

 

[sba]

Everything Leopold touches turns to ****.

 

[sabrescupchamps2099]

Would love Tavares on the Sabres...

Yeah, he's a solid player. 81 points last season.

It's become pretty clear the Sabres made a mistake keeping Grigorenko up. He's just not ready.

I can't see how giving the puck away every other shift and watching guys skate by him in the blue line is better for his development than ending the year with a playoff run in juniors followed by playing in the AHL against lesser competition after that run is over.

 

[sba]

Ott just take Grigs' shift?

They could still send him down, just a a year will be burned from his contract

 

[Eichel 9]

I swear Ennis gets thrown out of the faceoff circle half the time.

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

What exactly is Grig's role on this team anyway?

They only kept him because they had nobody else.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Ehrhoff bailed him out there, but Leo's way too soft on the blue line right now. No confidence, seemingly.

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

it's amazing how bad Leo is right now

 

[sba]

European whipping boy now that Vanek can't be it anymore.

 

[Herman Hessian]

Would love Tavares on the Sabres...

Yeah, he's a solid player. 81 points last season.

be interesting to see lindy turn him in to a shut down center on the fourth line, i guess...

He's made a few poor decisions tonight but has looked better lately IMO. Not a good showing from him tonight so far.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Top line + Sekera and Weber had a nightmare of a shift in their own end there.

Sekera bringing the puck right out in front of his own net...what are you doing there Rej??

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

They only kept him because they had nobody else.

so EPIC FAIL by Darcy not addressing the center position.

 

[Myllz]

Speaking of JT...

Haha, Tavares scores.
