EJ was the Blues former #1 draft pick and was a leadership mainstay in Colorado - Assistant Captain.A miniscule observation about a guy at the tail end of his career who gets criticized a lot in here, but gives every bit of effort he can muster.
Closely following Tuch's go-ahead shorty. 22 seconds left in Montreal's PP near the end of the 2nd. Anyone notice EJ wave Dahlin a few feet back around the circle just before the faceoff? A fossil advising our future captain and Norris winner about faceoff positioning. Cozens won the draw cleanly, right onto Dahlin's stick. Like *right* onto his stick.
Experience counts.
Great road win. Really proud of the lads tonight. Really happy for their dads et al.
Most physical game they've played in a long time as well. Wondering if the dads' presence played a factor in that. I'm serious.EJ was the Blues former #1 draft pick and was a leadership mainstay in Colorado - Assistant Captain.
He's slowed a half step and is getting long in the tooth but he KNOWS the game. And has a Stanley Cup ring to show it.
OK. Why can't they play the way all the time?
Do they always need either their moms or dads in the stands to put out that effort?
I wouldn't doubt it played a part, you never want to look like a pansy before the old man.Most physical game they've played in a long time as well. Wondering if the dads' presence played a factor in that. I'm serious.
If you don't like that optional essay question on you Buffalo Sports SAT* exam (*Suffering our Accursed Teams), try the alternative question, "How the hell is Zach Bogosian still an active and starting NHL defenseman?"
Both the Jokiharus leave the impression they have a large wooded tract of land back home and once a week, just for fun, as a tandem, they chop down a towering old-growth tree with a double-sided axe. In two minutes.
Woohoo! It's up to 15! Now if only the PP could get out of the gutterWait you mean our 15th rank PK is atrocious?
It is really odd you are being so sarcastic about the Sabres PK jumping like 15 spots from last year.Woohoo! It's up to 15! Now if only the PP could get out of the gutter
