How crazy is it that the Flames with a win tonight will be in 3rd place in the Pacific Division? Awaiting the Oilers to fall back to the pack, I forgot to thank the Leafs for their win over Edmonton the other night.

They wouldn't have been in the mood to accept your gratitude dash. Wins are no good for the tank.

NHL is a whole bunch of mediocrity this season. Parity and parody reigns and rains supreme.

Mediocrity is the only situation we can compete in.

Nobody in the tank mood around here this year. Last year was what it was. I'm glad they did it the way they did, maximizing returns on guys nobody wanted around here while evaluating what they had. The consequence of undoing years of mismanagement is poor performance and it is what it is. I'd be thrilled if they are playing meaningful hockey in March.

Sounds like GG is bringing back Brodano (Brodie + Giordano) as a defense pairing tonight - My question to GG: What took you so long?

No kidding. After the alternative didn't work I wouldn't have waited until the clock struck 12 broclock before making THAT switch.

Greg Millen: "Zach Bogosian is a huge loss for Buffalo because he has been one of the steady defensive guys for the Sabres all season long"

Simultaneous on-screen graphic: "Zach Bogosian: 18:59 avg. ice-time (lowest since 2008-09)"

RNH is on the board with his first of the season.

My question to GG would be "are you mad at your mom cause she tried to get people to stop shitting and pissing on your grave?"

Tryamkin wasting little time getting on the stat sheet tonight - 2 min minor for kneeing followed by a 5 min major for fighting.

Mitch Marner with two so far tonight (and the only two thus far in Buffalo).

That was the weakest kneeing call ive ever seen and the ref prob realized it to so he gave smith 2 for roughing

I keep forgetting that Derek Dorsett still has a job in the NHL.

Tanev would have made that save. Gubberson had nice form at least.

He keeps doing stupid stuff like slamming his stick in the sinbin and he won't have one for long.

Frederik Andersen's last 4 games: .954 sv%

Man, I'm trying to stay positive on Andersen but he's doing his best to sap that optimism.

He looks as uncomfortable in the net as I do in a hot yoga class.

What a maroon that commenter is!

Freddy's got his ginga ninja swagger back it appears
