Loved the game. Loved that they generated many scoring chances. That erod play to mitts that didn’t score, that’s seriously all I’m asking for. Actual chances.

Good win boys!

Good
- Eichel missed the empty net on purpose I’m pretty sure to try to get Skinner the hatty. Felt captainy.

Bad
- Okposo’s fake tough guy act ruining the shutout.

It's tough to evaluate the team in a game like this because of how bad the Kings played. I think any team in the league would have beaten them today, they looked that bad. I have a feeling this is how other fan bases feel after they put a beat down on the Sabres.

I disagree about Okposo. He did good by standing up for you Mittlestadt that got an illegal hit to the back like that and the refs played stupid and rewarded the Kings for that. Okposo did completely right, it's just that the refs and the instigator rule is completely Pejorative Slured.

U:
Dion Phaneuf.

I thought the Sabres were good today, shifting in grades from okay to phenomenal. Scandella's little miss-pass was the only fault i saw today. Good game by the Sabres, let's keep this up! Especially in how the looked in the second period.

G:
Pretty much everything
Eichel/Skinner/Poms clicked
Mittelstadt is starting to look like he's going to be a legit 2nd line center sooner than later
Dahlin had another one of those tantalizing games, and helped make Nelson look like an NHLer

B:
Scandella deserves a benching after that one.

U:
The Kings

Aside: At some point I'd love to see Casey with Sam. My only concern there is overpassing.

The fact that the Sabres were capable of putting a beat down like this on another team at least shows progress, maybe?

Just realized we likely get to face Miller with Gibson going tonight, that's a relief with the way Gibson has started this season.

I love Eichel with black tape on his stick blade. I find it just looks so much better.

Was flipping the game on and off today as I was busy. I watched around half the game and only managed to catch 1 of the goals. Guess I had all the buffaluck tonight.

Really glad I was loud-wrong about Skinner-Eichel for a night, and good to see the plodder line get a bounce. If we're going to force teams to deal with SEP in the offensive zone instead of the Mittelstadt line, it has a much better chance of succeeding than I initially gave it.

Scandella, what the hell has happened to him this season.

Refs completely blowing that call on Okposo that killed the SO.

I'm glad Pommer is back with Eichel, this allows Reinhart to help anchor a 2nd actual NHL line. I said earlier I wanted Skinner exchanged with Sheary but I was wrong on that.

I look forward to see how they carry this over against a real threat with Anaheim.

Agreed. Pretty sure that's what happens when one plays with Dahlin though.

Yeah, Dahlin bailed the pairing out a couple times, I thought. It's incredible how calm/poised he is defensively for an 18-year-old. Shame Schandella has started sucking. It'd be nice to have 2 d-men you could actually trust in the D zone.
