-Vanek is possessed- 5 goals, 2 shorties in 3 games.
-the PK is amazing. I believe they're perfect on the season, plus they added 2.
-The PP is looking better- 5 goals in 3 games.
-Sekera is still making too many dumb mistakes. He had the icing on the PP and also turned the puck over at the blue line. He's a good player but he needs to keep his head in the game.
-Tallinder was good at the end of the game but shaky at the start. He hasn't impressed me through the first 3 games.
-Paille is playing well.
-The Sabres struggled with the neutral zone trap and were getting outworked on the dump and chase. If they don't figure that out, it's going to be a long season.
-I have no idea who Matt Ellis is but he did well filling in tonight.
-Drury was pretty much a non-factor.
-I see what Lecter was saying about Numminen being a calming influence. He definitely played well tonight and helped break up several rushes.
-In general, the team is still spending too much time in the defensive zone and not setting up well in the offensive zone at even strength
-How did Kaleta get the Caruba Collision hit of the game when all he hit was the boards? Don't get me wrong- it was a good play because it drew the instigator penalty. I just don't see how a whiff should be hit of the game.
-So long, free Center Ice :sadwalk:. I'll be in Buffalo on Friday so I should be able to watch the game, but after that it will be back to audio, VS, and the occasional Yahoo online feed.
-Speaking of Center Ice, for the last two games they put me in a tough spot. They had the home broadcast in HD and the Sabres broadcast in SD. I watched the Islanders game in HD but stayed with the home broadcast tonight, despite the crappy picture.
