Why is this thread not called "It's snowing: let's go streaking!", or something to that effect?? :-P
Good:
Gionta
Girgs
Zads
Risto
Deslauriers
Neuvirth (when in. Hopefully he's alright and it's nothing too serious.)
Having the Sharks number.
Leafs getting beat down.
Blues lost.
Bad:
Thought Foligno/Hodgson/Stewart were ineffective.
Tomas Hertl seemed to struggle tonight.
Ugly:
The Thruway
Air Canada Centre
Stay warm and stay safe friends!

Irbe dressed as a backup? It looks like Ted Black wore an usher jacket and took tickets?
Pretty funky night.

G:
Gionta, Mitchell and Flynn had a good game together and got rewarded.
D-Lo with another good game and a goal.
Our defense. Even Mesz.
Shutting it down in the third. That was impressive and looked nothing like the shattered no-confidence team their supposed to be.
B:
Refs
Noidberg getting hurt. I still don't get what happened to him. That collision looked like nothing.
U:
Toronto. Their coming to steal McEichel!

We are on our way to becoming a .500 hockey club.
Gionta was present! I love me some 2013 draft picks on d as well.
Fun two games in a row to watch.

Good:
A really nice confidence boost to the guys, especially Gionta
Bad:
Irbe not getting any ice time (he could've earned a new contract
)
Fell asleep after the 1st period, in my defence it was 3:30 AM
Ugly:
The Sabres with just a win behind 6 other teams and two behind the Rangers (in terms of number of wins, not points)

26 perimeter shots that were non threatening. A true top line? Three defensemen playing like number ones? AND playing WITHOUT Gorges? I'm not worried. With the way we are playing, I wouldn't be shocked to see us fight for eighth

The ony thing that accounts, the good.
The youngsters are getting a taste of victory while developing their on ice skills. Chemistry, individual and team skills but most important of all, maturity as an NHL player.
It's good to see this happening for them. Risto, Zads, Del, Flynn (whom I believe will be sticking with the team) and Z are gaining invaluable seasoning.
They may end up in last place this season, but at least they'll do so with some healthy growing pains.

G: Gionta
Myers
Ristolainen
The third period
Irbe
B: Neuvirth injury
U: Got nothing.
As for the Neuvirth injury, I don't think it was just on the collision from the disallowed goal sequence. Earlier in the period, there was a sequence where the Sharks almost scored on a centering pass/deflection. Neuvirth was going against the play when that happened. As the play went past, he seemed to grimace in pain. I think the collision later on the disallowed goal may have just added to things.

Where can I find advanced stats from last night's game?
Zadorov and Risto, especially after the first period, seemed to never be hemmed in their own end. They moved the puck out and gained the o-zone with relative ease. They passed the eye test; curious to see if they passed the numbers one, too.
Risto: 20:13 TOI, 1a, +2.
Zadorov: 17:16 TOI, +1.

G - Fun game and the streak against the shark continues.
B - Noid Burg hurt. It looked like he was in a little dicomfort after a save prior to the collision.
U - A tie between Tyler ManBearPig Kennedy and the awful third jerseys.
I would. I mean, the team is bad, but the 8th worst season in history was the 72/73 Isles with 26pts and the Sabres are on pace for 50pts. They're really going to have to focus if they want to only get 13pts over the next 62 games and take 8th.

Ristolainen and Zadorov have looked good, but would you honestly say they've played like #1 defensemen if they weren't 20 and 19, respectively? They've looked like solid top four defensemen to me, but to say anything more than that is a huge stretch. They've both got #1 potential, though.
And I won't even respond to the fighting for eighth comment.

The funny part is you've had this crusade against Myers lately but haven't seemed to acknowledge the very important fact that he's skating 25 minutes/night and keeping Ristolainen and Zadorov on the second pair, where they need to be right now.
