[KrisLetAngry]

So so so so so happy I have the game on a projector at the school. It's nice having a 70" display

Those *****es are doing some serious grinding today.

This speed will be hard to match, If it works during the playoffs, which I'm sure it will, I think this will be the NHL trend for the next few years. Hopefully all others team continue to go after old school big/slow players It'll be hard to hit players moving quickly.

What an addition Hagelin has been. It is so nice having a fast player that knows how to play hockey.

Yea, i remember some were hesitant about his cap hit but he does SOOOO much for the team. Well worth the $.

Man, Kuhn always scores BIG goals. And everyone in the building knew what was going to happen with that 2 on 1. Cullen skating with his head up the whole time didn't let Johnson cheat, which was awesome.

 

[Lionel Hutz]

Lol what accounts for this long lost resiliency?

 

[Finesse]

It's a nice feeling to not feel completely hopeless when the team is down a couple of goals these days. It's been a while since that was the case.

While looking for bad pics of Eichel, I found this:

I'm just going to leave this here.

Cullen is the definition of savvy.

The Penguins have scored more goals on Sabres PPs than Buffalo has.

Lucha Underground's Taya Valkyrie pulls off that look MUCH better.

We need to be careful here though because I'm sure Bylsma will make some key adjustments for the third period.

Haha

Remember when we went something like 2 calendar years without coming back while trailing going into the 3rd? How is it even possible to have a turnaround this dramatic?

 

[HuskerTornado]

uh........anyone else's NHL.TV just go out?

-ok it's back now.

Jettisoned a deeply flawed coaching staff and lot of below-mediocre players/negative influences from the locker room (Adams, Orpik, Scuderi), replaced them with a coach who knows how to get the best from the roster and young, fast, hungry players

 

[ColePens]

I feel like I'm in a dream. I was never frustrated down 3. I just kept saying "Okay boys.. gotta get one to start this thing."

It feels good to watch this team.

And unfortunately picked up Rick Tocchet along the way.

 

[Mr Jeff Jimerson]

Kühnhackl is good.

Come at me Hipster L. Doofis. Come at me and make sure to bring your cronies Denis Lemieux, tom_servo, Mikey from pens chat, KayKayHoliday66, BEERMAN, and kaopectate with ya!

 

[TheSniper26]

To those wondering why we're suddenly more resilient, simply having a coach with a pulse is likely a big part of it. Sullivan has his faults but he seems very engaged at all times and I think the team feeds off it. Having ol' Dead Eyes as the coach for a year and half couldn't have been the most inspiring stretch.

Couple the coaching change with finally have some young, hungry players in the lineup and there ya go.

You win some, you lose some Remember when Mark Madden was insisting Tocchet should be made head coach?

I kinda wonder what would have happened if Sullivan had been hired in summer '14 instead of Johnston.
