It's fun to watch players turn into NHLers right in front of your eyes.
Tkachuk is going to be a beauty, but also Kulak. Loved that guys game right from the get go, and it's nice to see him breaking into the league.
Smart, good skater, doesn't panic with the puck, makes good passes.
Jokipakka plays a really smart, solid, quiet game, and people talk about potentially losing him to expansion. I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the season more people are worried about losing Kulak than they are about losing Joki.

they worked for this win, and controlled most of the game. still lots of things to work on, though. don't know what's going to happen with the pp this year.
encouraging signs so far:
heavily outshooting the other team despite a clear lack of chemistry
gulutzan not afraid to change the lineup when players (grossmann, wideman) underperform
it's a learning process for everyone on the team and i hope they click sooner rather than later.

This pickle business has pricked and clicked in my thick, self-bickering brain. Quick -- I pick that we pick our icky slick lick to stick not on a brick or a tick, but a pick-le. It'll be sick.

I also like how Brouwer is always noticeable. When he's getting points, it's a huge plus, but every shift he makes nifty little plays and always finishes his checks. Good pick up thus far.
Really smart player and patient with the puck too. Very impressed by his play so far.
Now they're reversing the call on the ice without replay. How often does that happen?

Why the hell is he passing that to the front? Damn
Edit: hit the refs skate. Let's not be mad at Foligno, guys!

How the refs' convo went:
"Well, the whistle blew, so it’s not a goal."
"But wait a minute, it’s Buffalo we’re talking about here."
"Oh ####, Frank. Forgot about that. Good goal."
"Good goal."
"Thanks, Frank."
"No problem."
Quote:
Should be a goal, but it pisses me off that they blew the whistle. I guess they call what they want to call. Not sure how many times they waived off goals like that , but some reason not this time. Refs are stupid
Quote:
Only the Sabres can get a goal against which was waved off for a quick whistle, called a good goal.
Crooked refs, the goal judge is rigged!
Quote:
That goal was good, but wtf with the non-overturn-able call being overturned? If that was Chicago or Pitt, it’d be a 1-0 game. Because, Buffalo.

Calgary power play is the right call there.

The sequence from hitting Larsson in the ass with the puck to Gorges desperately trying to gather the puck was so painful.

Glad you can just come up and cross-check people in the back, unbelievable dirty game from the Flames.
Linesman got in the way of the Sabres 3 times this game, and Refs call a TERRIBLE ####ing game, MATCHFIXBULL####!
Quote:
Well that was BS
Shake it off boys, but what a horrible non-call to end the game.
