I had the huge pleasure to speak with the cast of "Shoresy" recently to talk about hockey, their own histories in hockey, getting back into arenas with the Shoresy Classic and what the beauty of being beauties on one of the best shows on TV is like

Available for the overall conference standings, and for the wildcard standings.

Two new features for the standings page - one temporary, one permanent.
First, TODAY ONLY, a handy visual cue to identify which teams are 4+ points out of the playoffs as of US Thanksgiving. It'll be gone once the clock ticks over to Friday!

Lindy Ruff echoed some of my own grievances with the game about puck play and hesitancy to shoot in some cases, but in the end this felt like a game that was very gettable on the road and instead it got away.

Jarry makes an incredible save on Zucker on the back door as the Sabres had Luukkonen pulled for the extra skater, Pens able to get the puck out of the zone and Connor Dewar puts it away in the empty net to make it 4-2 with under a minute to go

Bang-bang and it's 3-2
Zucker gets the puck behind the net after Samuelsson sent it around the wall and bangs a pass out front to Quinn who buries it up high

Kevin Hayes streaking to the far post gets a great pass from Erik Karlsson and buries it to make it 3-1 Pens.
Sabres play sagged after giving up the goal to Rust and the Pens seized on it.

Jack Quinn with the shot, Jason Zucker gets a piece of it on the way and it's 1-1.
Sabres took advantage of getting the Pens buried in their end for a stretch and forced an icing. Sabres made it a point to get the puck off the draw and keep the pressure up.
Tie short lived however...

Two minutes into the period and the Pens are allowing the Sabres to go right in towards their net and I gotta tell ya... that's not the strategy I'd employ

A late 2-on-1 with McLeod and Quinn sees McLeod get the pass across but Quinn was in a bit too deep while Jarry still made it to the post.
Still 1-0 Pittsburgh after two periods. Second period dared show signs of life.

Sabres got a shooting gallery shift and piled up more shots on goal than they had in the game to that point. Samuelsson, Dahlin, Krebs all generating opportunities but didn't break through. They needed a shift like that to get things going

The last five minutes or so by the Sabres have been pretty rough and they're fortunate the Pens haven't extended the lead. More sloppy puck handling and decision making causing problems

It's nice that Noah Östlund wants to hook a teammate up on a 2-on-1 but brother you gotta shoot that one

If there was any kind of transition game going in this one, we'd hear about the Sabres feeding the Pens their transition game. Instead, it's the Sabres handing the puck off continually without an aim

Shot took a weird deflection off his defenseman's stick. He's setting to challenge a normal shot and then oops, there it goes.
Swing and a miss by UPL.

Sabres kill off the penalty and I am going to be stuck on wondering both what Timmins said to Crosby and what Sid said back to him.

Conor Timmins is getting called for tripping and he is not at all pleased with the call and when Sidney Crosby goes down that's probably getting a call whether you like it or not
