Another nice game at home. UPL wasn’t challenged and that’s a good thing. Great initial game by Norris. Just imagine if he can stay healthy. The Sabres are now 9-5-2 at home. They are sadly 2-6-2 on the road. 11 of the next 14 games are on the road, including the next 6 straight. If they want to prove that they are more than the same old crappy team, winning 4 of the next 6 road games would go along way to proving that it may be different this time. Maybe. It was nice to watch a full game where the Sabres were the best team on ice from the opening puck drop.

Maybe if we get on a winning streak our GM can trade for a good player who doesn’t like palm trees and likes paying taxes

After tonight's game... Norris is on pace for 87 points. The goaltending save% for the season isn't great, but it is consistent: Luukkonen .899, Lyon .899, Ellis .897.

I don’t doubt that one bit. It’s just interesting to see the shine come off a bit after making a move for the paycheck. That said, he still has plenty of time to get it back.

we broke the jets 😂

Yes, our AHL/bench depth consists of properly developed players ready for the NHL, not high draft picks rushing into the fray out of desperation.

***With Depth in Kesselring, Kulich, Rosen and Dunne. That is something that has not been around in a very long time.

Who cares?

This is the difference in having everyone playing on the line they should be playing on, and not having to play up a level.

Good game. Fire KA. Trade UPL for something of value.

Cheerios meet piss

REALLY hoping they don't decide to showcase UPL again in that one. The D won't likely be as solid as they were tonight because Ruff won't get the matchups he wants. Would much rather see either Lyon or Ellis between the pipes. But, guess it'll be whatever it'll be. Would be cool if they got a 3 game winning streak working with each goalie getting one of the W's.

Yeah, that was a real nice way for him to cap off what turned to be such an impressive first night back from his injury. It sure didn't take long to see that he has a natural instinct for the game like few players have. Fingers crossed for him to stay healthy.

Why do you assume that?

Excellent win. Norris adds skill to the top 6. Just hope he stays in the line up. I thought a lot of Sabres stood out tonight. Get rest. Get on the road, and then beat the slugs in Philly. They think they play that “heavy” game. Just blow on by them and dominate.

The part about limiting and controlling rebounds was going above and beyond what he's typically done this season. (Realized after rereading it, that may not have been stated as clearly as it should've been.) And, yes, the team played very well in front of him. But will give the devil his due when it's earned. He came very close to playing a complete game tonight. (And hopefully some opposing GM saw the effort tonight and believes his coaches can wash the Sabre stink off of him.)

FFS, where in the blue ***** did this Patriots team come from?!

We'd have to retain salary and I'm guessing that'd be a non-starter. I think we're stuck with him, unless someone (other than KA) can sweet talk TP.

Dunne could handle him.

I think that's being generous. To me, it seems like he randomly has spells during the game where he loses focus - in addition to starting each period unfocused.

Who knows, do you believe in miracles?
