Agreed. He's actually had some excellent shifts. Top-6 next season for sure.

EDIT: Also, Miller looked like a rookie on Spezza's goal. Not a good game for RM.

Condra just blocked 2 shots in a row. Great to see.

In the PP before the end of the 2nd, Karlsson hit the side of the net when facing a (mostly) open cage. That sucks.

Same PP, Kuba has a chance with a (mostly) open cage. He misses the puck entirely. Kuba sucks.

Does he ever... I actually found it pretty funny, because he was concentrating, and teeing it up, and then when he went for the shot, the puck bounced over the stick. Hahahah, so bad.

Man... i'm missing Neil. I may have missed half the game thus far but it seems we're getting hit left, right and centre and with little response. They seem to be lacking energy right now.

Just as I posted that they just showed a montage of Kaleta nailing everyone around him.

Kuba is the lone defender in a 2-on-1. He takes the pass, then decides to take the shot at the last second. Pass. Goal.

Did I mention that Kuba sucks?

Yup.

I was about to post the same thing. I miss Neil. Why we can't trade him. Or rather shouldn't trade him.

And seriously, what's up with Lessard. Does he think he got promoted because he can play hockey? If he does, he's even stupider than I thought. He's here to hit people, and here to fight people. So do your job damnit!

Ya. Carks was trying to coax Kaleta into a fight a few minutes ago, but I'd like to see Lessard take out the trash.

Butler just got denied on a nice chance. A little earlier, Locke was denied on a backdoor tap-in play. Miller is making up for the beginning of the game.

4-2 Sabres final. Last goal was into an empty net. Anderson made 35 saves on 38 shots. Not bad at all. I hope we sign him. I'd be more than happy to sign him to a 3x3 or 3x2.5 as well.

Ah Dung... the last minute and a half was more entertaining that I thought it would be. Ah well... it's good for the tank.

At this stage of the season I could do without the coaxing and just move on to knocking Kaleta on his Donkey anyway you can manage it. If he feels like fighting after getting up, great.

I've been enjoying the games the last little while. I love watching the call-ups play. Greening, Condra, and Butler are all really impressive. Locke didn't look as slow as everyone said, I liked his game as well. Wick, Lessard, Svatos were ok, but nothing special.

I'm excited to see how Foligno continues to develop now that he's got more responsibility. I like the A on Spezza's sweater. He had a great game.

BSens down 4-2 going into the 3rd. The team rallies and scores 5 in the 3rd. BSens win 7-4.

I'm liking their coaching and leadership down there. For them to be without 8 (?) of their regulars, go into the 3rd on an away game down by 2, and come back to win it. Very impressive. Keller with a hat trick.

You beat me by 1min. I just posted about that game in the tidbits thread.
