Mercy! Mercy!

DOC not giving up.

[Crash66]

He threw it in.

[BurghThing]

Nice swat DOC

[KG]

He threw it in.

lol nice try OC. Wrong sport.

[BurghThing]

I wouldn't mind seeing someone hit a Sabre, but I guess they know that will put them in Sully's doghouse

[Crash66]

I wouldn't mind seeing 15 seconds of sustained O zone time.

Yeah, would like to see some more pushback for sure.

Also, that Hollowell Graves pairing is brutal.

[DelPen]

It’s almost like this team isn’t ever ready to actually play a game.

[DelPen]

Hey **** heads on MSG, that’s an elbow.

[BurghThing]

How the **** was that not a penalty?!

[Crash66]

Really wanted to see someone stand out tonight in any facet of the game.

[Crash66]

Graves can't even throw a punch.

[BurghThing]

Interesting, the Sabres with a 7-1 lead are pushing back.

The Sullivan led team just turtles

[KG]

Really would like to see some pushback. Some physicality at least. Ludvig, you’re not in the lineup because of your skill, or your defense. Hit somebody.

Also interesting how a blatant board/elbow on Ponomarev is no penalty, but whatever that was on Benson by Hollowell gets a trip to the box. Best sport, worst league.

[BurghThing]

What a blast, he'll fit right in

[KG]

Rutger with the whiff

[FLPensFan]

Rutger with the whiff

Channeling his inner Chud. I saw the play and instantly thought it was Ruhwedel standing in front, so I already wrote it off. Will take some time to get used to that #2 at forward.

[KG]

Puljujarvi with a power move. Rutger with the assist at least

[Crash66]

Hatty

[Crash66]

Got my wish. Somebody stood out.

[KG]

HT for Puljujarvi. Sullivan still doesn’t like him

[FLPensFan]

Again, Puljujarvi could go quiet offensively the rest of preseason and he's done enough in the scrimmages and this game to earn a spot in the top 12. He's showing at least 3rd line winger production, which is what I expect from him if he gets proper minutes.

Sully won't play him, he's no Accari
