Of course, I wanted it up so I could comment when I got back from the game. I will be in the 109 section!

They flipped Dahlin and Montour.

Very cool and smart decision to call up Pilut to put him in the press box

Pilut playing?

Skinner on a line with a minor leaguer and an aging hands of stone guy.
Brilliant coaching.

I love the Coyotes classic jerseys. They were my favorite team to play on NHL 64 with Kieth Tkachuk and pre-openly sexual deviant, Jeremy Roenick.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

JJ is in at least

 

[dortt]

Pilut playing?

Pilut needs to sign in the KHL after this season if he wants to avoid the minors. Seems he has no future with this team

Singer didn't have the range to try the Canadian anthem.

 

[HockeyH3aven]

What the hell is up with the clock on the broadcast?

Girgenson was closely inspecting his stick on the bench, kept it, then promptly broke it.

Sabres PK is incredibly passive. Teams just hang out in the Sabres zone for the entire power play without being pressured. They need to replace the special teams’ coach(es.)

Brilliant coaching.

They were our most effective line last night, out shot the VGK 9-1 (the goal was a garbage time goal, but they were effective nonetheless). I have no problem if RK wants to see if he has something with them.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Nice feed by kahun

 

[Chainshot]

Good PK.

 

[Chainshot]

This line clicks again.

Good hustle by Kahun to get to the puck and feed Johansson.

 

[jd1970]

Nice play Calhoun!

 

[Buffaloed]

I love Calhoun

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Love simmonds shielding of the puck...worked out well there

Nice tip skinner

 

[Fezzy126]

Woooo!

 

[Chainshot]

Well that's a pleasant surprise.
