we haven't seen that kind of puck movement on our pp in a long time
I can't recall playing a team that is less engaged in a game than the Sabres are in this one. I'm thinking they're making us look like the Globetrotters rather than the other way around...

They guys played another very good game, maybe even better than the Ottawa game.

I really am liking Del Zotto and Pouliot has been solid. Hutton and Stetcher still have a few farts per game. They need to clean that up. But overall a good D game.

Markstrom with another bad start but then shut the door.

Dorsett with a great game, a shorty and an EN. Sutter and Granlund good game too.

Virtanen looked good with the twins.

A really strong team effort throughout the line up. No bad performances.

That 5 minute penalty kill disaster in Boston aside they have played three pretty decent road games in a row. Keep it up. I want playoffs not a high draft pick!

MDZ has been bad defensively, but he's getting the points, but when he's on the ice for huge minutes, suppose those goals against avg is gonna go up.

Good to see Virtanen spark the Sedins, he's the type of player they thrive playing with & now it looks like JV can play those minutes hopefully for the long run.

Dorsett! :thumbs:

I'm liking the out shooting the team 41-22, that's what I like to see moving forward, keep getting those shots on net and good things will happen eventually, especially confidence levels for those players who haven't got going yet.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Bubbles favourite hockey players are Bust Central - Ekblad, Reinhart, Bennett and Dal Colle. Hell, its starting to look like draft class mate - Kempe is better than those 4 clowns

Yar, I noticed he's on alot when the other team scores, pucks going off him, he getting beat 1-1, etc. He's probably eating more minutes than he should with Eagle out.

We are relying a ton on Dorsette. God bless his soul for a tremendous effort in his rehab and getting to the point he is.
When Green uses his 4 and 1 system on PP like in the first, it is a total cluster F**k. When he goes back to the norm,
looks way better.
Look out! The Sedins have found a friend.

Yup the defense looks more stable with Edler out there for sure.

It's what the team needs though, different players to step up at different times throughout the season, I hope in the coming weeks Granlund, Baertschi and Gagner start to chip in.
