+++ Hornqvist: The heart and soul of this team. When the Sabres went up 1 goal, Horny went and tried to turn the tide. Sabres went up 2, and 72 went right back out there putting his life on the line every single shift. He will just bust his ass. Nonstop. I love Hornqvist. Re-sign that man.
+++ Kessel: Love to Geno, as well, but Kessel is also the heart and soul along side Horny this season. Every game he's busting his ass harder than 90% of the team. Love everything Kessel is doing.
+++ Sheary: That Sheary/Hornqvist duo was dynamic all over the ice in the 2nd/3rd. Great game by #43.
++ Schultz: I'll say it again, the small things he does on the PP opens space up for Kessel/Geno. It's only an inch or a second, but it makes all the difference and you see that on Kessel's play on the PP. When Letang is on it, we don't get it because the PKers just stay neutral. When Schultz is out there, he's doing little things like looking off his pass, showing shot, taking shots to keep the PK honest, moving his hips to open up, then going back the other way. It's the small things that make a HUGE difference.
+ Sid: After his mistake, you saw a different Sid. He was engaged big time for the 2nd/3rd. Good on Sid.
And honorable mention Murray: There is nothing that guy can do on these goals. Defense needs to be better.
--- Cole: Brutal defense. Standing around and bad pinches. Bad game for Cole.
- Letang: Same stuff, different game.
- Sully: Same as last game's rant. He's not putting this team in the best position to win. That's on the coach.
