Scoring 4 or more goals is the key to winning in this edition of the NHL. It may not seem like we needed it because we only gave up one goal but the early lead helps settle everything down and play a structured game. We have only won 2 games when we did not score 4 goals so far this year. Every loss we have we have scored less than 4. Goaltending is so random these days you just don't know who is good or bad. Lets look at the former Sabres goaltenders. Devin Cooley 10-3-2-2 1.88 .930 Eric Comrie 10-5-5-0 3.13 .893 Linus Ullmark 19-9-6-4 3.10 .874 Did Devin Cooley a 28 year old rookie become a great goaltender? Did Ullmark turn into a pumpkin with that 8.25 million dollar salary? We are not going to trade UPL unless we know we have someone way better to replace him with. The answer is outscoring the problem.

University of Pittsburgh is called Pitt because Pitt is an abbreviation for Pittsburgh. It is a valid abbreviation for the city's name.

The Krebs hit is part of that swarming/speed game. It comes with the territory. But.... unlike being an isolated incident, the rest of the team is now jumping to each other's defense, another part of that swarming style. Well right now they have none, so...

This is what happens when you get destroyed by last place teams.

Agree. A lot will depend on Ruff and the Coaches. Gotta send them out alert and focused, playing fast and shooting from the puck drop. Match up changes will have to be quick and Special Teams will need to Score and Stop goals. Will be a great test for us. Really looking forward to it.

Please don't tell me their playoff standing or I'll drive to your home and shoot out your porch light.

Hmmm........... Well it's obvious the Jets did not come prepared to compete. I'm not sure they took the Sabres too lightly or were just too slow (maybe both) but they did get embarrassed. On the other side, that is how the Sabres have to play. Has to be all about speed and swarming with that speed and it was. You can win hockey games that way. Norris? Well, how many games do we get? I guess that's the question. Nobody ever doubted his talent and it was on display. There's no real negatives (although Krebs was probably lucky or smart enough not to get killed :)). There were some mistakes similar to other games but they can survive those with team speed so they weren't costly or overly noticeable. idk, this keeps up Adams will keep his job and say see, this was the plan all along.

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?
