Take a one-goal lead into the third, give one up to Peterka in the first minute. 52 seconds to be pedantic.

I went into Rosen’s place in time & space in some detail last week.
It’s not entirely in his own hands. A lot depends on how the pieces are moved around him.

Rosen is in a pickle because of the timing of his first real opportunity.
He’s in the last year of his ELC this year, & his last year of waiver exemption. He’s an RFA, but can’t be sent down next year without being risked on waivers.
If Buffalo’s healthy, he’s in Rochester, tearing up the AHL.

Rosey’s gotta score. Being on their de facto 2nd line, they need him to score, and that’s who he is, and what he was drafted to do. This is the best shot he’s likely to get to play his role at the NHL level. He’s gotta carpe this diem.
Isak Rosen scores to put the Sabres up 1-0. Jack Quinn got him the puck at the front of the net, and Rosen finished the job. That's Rosen's second goal of the year.

He might be able to challenge for a job in the top-9 next year. But they shouldn’t; and don’t have to rush him. He’s got five full years of waiver-exemption (last year and this are the first two). He’s 19. He’s got time.
"He’s listening more. Part of development as a person is understanding we’re trying to help you."

Sabres prospect Konsta Helenius’ extra ice time with the Americans can be traced to more than just a dearth of bodies up front.

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump may actually be part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

Hardman made some dagger plays against the Bills in a couple of Januarys.
Has also busted a kick & a punt for TDs in his NFL career. Might be able to contribute there while getting up to speed with the offense.

Sean McDermott on wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who joined the Bills' practice squad:
"The speed element is real, having gone against him. He hasn't played in a little bit of time here, so we have to take it one day at a time. I'm really interested to see if he can help us."

If what we call “The French and Indian Wars” were given appropriate weight when they teach American history, Tiyanoga would be on money.
The way it’s taught, you wouldn’t know anything happened between the Mayflower landing (1620), & the “Shot Heard Round the World” at Lexington & Concord (1775).
