Got to love the smile on that kid's face after that assist

Ffs, Ace. Enjoy a big win against Eichel's team.
Save your standard bitching and moaning for losses.

I watched every second.
That graphic implies the Sabres were destroyed. Not buying it. Not even close.

Well, there's Murray and Jost and Okposo and .... Oh, wait. That's 3 right there.
Please tell me that's sarcasm, ONG.
Total team win. Especially satisfying seeing Tuch and Krebs have big games against VGK.

That Benson play to intercept the breakout is just spectacular.

I would say its quite a reach the little time he spent there.
Maybe its more like he lost the pressure going down there of being the to go guy and found his confidence again.

Their first win ever in Vegas. That has been a miserable place to play for them.
just watched the goal replays. Tuch made up for the puck on end shot with a snipe. Jesus that was a wicked shot.
Sounds like Levi had himself a night (I turned it off with 5 left in the second). You gotta go with the hot hand and play him tonight if you want to come away with points.

Absolutely. A lessor goalie and we’re down 2-3 to 0 in the first period.
The Jekyll and Hyde tour continues…..
That shows how important goaltending is. We've been losing games recently that we deserved to win, because our goalies have not been making the saves.
Then last night, Levi goes full Dom Hasek and we win one we had no business winning

Quinn should be back soon.
I think you gotta go Peterka - Cozens - Quinn for a few games.
They were great last year. It would be a shame not to see how it goes.

GBU:
GOOD:
Levi was very good and allowed us to stay in this game. He's not an NHL starter yet and should likely be in Rochester BUT he may be the best option for us. He's the only guy with that potential in our organization currently (In Rochester or Buffalo)
Cozens did a lot of good things, hopefully it builds some confidence, he's got the right DNA
Benson is arguably a top-3 guy on our team right now. Steal in the draft and the steal to Tuch was such a big play. Has the DNA to be a very successful pro.
Krebs had one of his better games of the year
Mitts continues his upward trend from last season
BAD:
Jokijarhu is not it. I'm in the minority that he hasn't been much improved this year. He's been marginal better but he doesn't add really any value. Slow and soft and doesn't skate well.
Clifton/Power struggled again
Peterka has been off the last few
Eichel scoring against again and Stone's comments post game
UGLY:
We won, there ain't no ugly

Well, it appears to have worked. Crazy to think how young he is, and how he's stone walling a stanley cup defender. I wanted him back in Rochester, but I think you have to ride he hot hand. I dont think Levi likes taking the bus and being paid an AHLers salary.
No way I believe that. We were getting a lot of good looks, too. Id say it's more like 65-35 in favor of Vegas, which is fine considering they were skating hard and appeared to really want that win. Buffalo kept pace, but obviously couldn't dominate them.

With Skinner sidelined, it seems pretty straight forward. Jost, Murray, and Olofsson come out.

Ahhh I’m not gonna fault Granato on this. I think getting UPL in net after his sickness and getting him back into it was important and he earned it on his play prior.
Yeah it sucks the schedule fell like this with Levi being so hot, but we’ve seen Levi show fatigue when he gets overworked this year already so it’s not all lost.
I just watched the highlights on NHL.com and there were no highlights from the first 28 minutes of the game and not a single save shown.
Glad to see Levi tearing it up. Maybe he got one look at an AHL bus trip and said never again.
