the entire team is soft as poop but your one clinging obsession with risto is "hes tough" when the rest of the team isnt

and tonight we are getting a full on display that that too is a crock of poop

so the ONE THING we can point to about risto being serviceable when we are badly needing it is just not there. and instead of admitting it, you're just on full on attack about any other player out there, who nobody is even claiming to be tough.

Fighting is different dude. Risto has 4 hits thru 2 periods.
16 hits in the last 8 periods.

Sam is doing even less than risto.
3 goals in 17 or 18 games.

Hopefully risto lays a huge hit on someone. That should be expected for sure.

Tage is more of a fighter than Risto


That's unnaceptable

If he doesn't scrap or score in the 3rd, I would move him to the taxi squad. Completely serious.

Oh man don’t look now but —-

Olofsson 4 goals last 26 games

Superstar baby

I'm pretty optimistic, but cozensons, mitts, tall timber tage, asplund, bryson look really good.

Maybe it's the next wave of Sabres hockey.

Wonder what the Bill's offensive line would have done after the reider, dahlin, asplund hits.

Crazy how Bryson has all the sudden fell off too since 55 has been his full time partner

It’s gotta be a coincidence

But skimmer though, ralph is holding him back still?

8 points for 9 million. Embarrassing.

Hey, did you see the 2 goals bye laine yesterday?

Nice - actually 40% of skimmers goal total's in 1 game

Are you suggesting oloffson should drop the mitts tonight? Haha joking. He’d be the last guy I would want to see do that as he’d get destroyed methinks

getting this to overtime would be a win for this sabres team

No he’s holding Risto back

Like Housley, and Bylsma, and Rolston, and Nolan, and Ruff

Am I missing anyone?

Coach 8 will do the trick

Risto is 26.
He's 7th or 8th in buffalo Sabres history for scoring defenseman. He will be #1 eventually, when he extends.

Bryson just bailed out risto on the failed outlet

Thats two open nets the sabres have missed

This is definitely cozens best game of the year

risto just hammered a guy in the corner taking himself out of the play and boston got a scoring chance directly after it

he's getting his game back, like to see it
