    Since we heard it twice tonight, what’s Bo’s goal song?

  2. Dahlin forget he was playing hockey on that breakaway attempt????

  3. ProfessionalMaybe947

    My god watching Dahlin and Byram is something I didn’t know I needed in my life. They’re both so good at jumping into plays, and they’re both covering for one another

  4. Girgensons +4 tonight, this is without a doubt a Zemgus Girgensons moment

  5. Kactus_Karma

    Has rayzor mentioned talking to Matty Ellis yet?

  6. TheresA_LobsterLoose

    I think Detroit knows a thing or two about… Big L’s

  7. I know the nhl gets pissed when concussion spotters take goalies out but man whoever is spotting this game doesn’t think concussions exist lol

  8. SuperStudMufin

    wow I would never expect nhl refs to call that. nice

  9. TrueCrimeRunner92

    The time-honoured tradition of passing eternally on the Sabres PP lol

  10. meltingresorts

    Boy these power plays are brutal. Losing the crowd while up 5 goals.

  11. Green_hippo17

    They killed the fun byram PP thing, so sad

  12. You know what I think the reason byram gets the line so much easier is cause he’s not afraid to fuck someone up if push comes to shove. Just what I’ve seen from his zone entrances

  13. CaresAboutYou

    no goals so far this period, sabres are washed?

  14. PrimasChickenTacos

    When teams figured out the Tage one timer, Matt Ellis really had no other plays to run on the PP, I guess.

  15. WorthPlease

    Raymond would be great at a local theatre. Excellent head throw-back.

  16. SuperStudMufin

    mammoth bryson manhandles him with a wee push

  17. If I knew nothing about the standings I would say Buffalo was the team with Detroit nipping at their heels.

  18. ThePeteVenkman

    At a bar with the Avs game on. Mitts looks like he’s moving and skating at a faster pace with their crew.

  19. I know we’re up, but somebody tell these guys we play 3 periods of hockey. Not 2.
