Ok after that I am agreeing with Flagg on Sobotka

Let's Go Buff-a-lo, lets be ready for the last period alamo mode and make the smart safe plays..

Well there is bit more than that. He has been the guy keeping some of the other teams nasty in check when he is out there and he also is chipping in offensively and last there he is playing vs. recovering...

Shots Fla 26 to 15 for Bflo. I have to agree with @Darksabre's early post about how we have been playing. to many bad decisions tryind to go east to west with fancy plays than North south with the safer play. I would like to get back to the team that was out shooting the opposition not regularly being out shot and losing the puck possession battles..

Yes, that's something i wanted to say the other day w/o sounding negative but of course you said it better.

I love the Sabres too but safety first, you'll get the play by play after if you have to duck out...

Yeah baby Sam the man

Need some passes. Not just blind up the board clearing attempt's...

Sorry, yes thank you sir you are correct.

That means those are the ones that missed the net need to add the 6 to that that did to get the total...

Shots 14 FLA to 6 for Bflo

Sorry that was Shot attempts NOT shots

Ok , All and all for a road game, not bad. Tied, 2 periods to go. They need to keep it simple save energy and pick your spots. We can do this, Let's go Buff-a-lo..

Well not surprised if you play most of the period in your own zone and lose the race to the puck bad things happen.

With the energy level I see form the team we cannot afford these penalties...

That is what I saw not that the camera work is great.. These can't be the same Ref's as last night could they?

Yeah they call that less than 50% of the time I watch many other games.

Do not let them score right after.. Hold this lead for bit boys..

he's back,, way to skin em.

I can't believe it but I'm finally back where I haven't been for a long time. Nervous and butterflies before game like I have had over the last periods of games.... yeah baby Lets' Go Buff-a-lo!

This is exactly how I hope this is/was played because with @schraders point its some damn good use of the rules and depth players and reinforces why Jbot is our guy for the future. ..

I believe his sarcasm is around a notion I saw in some threads that we looked soft and bad because we didn't practice and work hard enough all the the time.. You know the old coach mentality that "The beatings will continue until the moral improves" followed by Phil is too soft....

Yeah but I don't know how much of that I actually want to see (moving too many pieces on too many lines).. We all agreed here when Phil started making changes when they were not needed that it messed up chemistry and timing of those lines. And lets not forget we all still pine for Bergland back on that 4th line. Its great that it didn't cost us during the streak other than exciting edge of the seat OT' and SO grey hairs. I understand the need to develop depth when it works like it looks like TT is playing better but I also feel its the reason we seem to have regressed with puck possession and shot total and why I see blind passes to empty wings or back to points or up boards with no one covering.... Yeah, I am a if it ain't broke don't fix it guy... just ask the wife...... I would like new kitchen cabinets, me.... can't we just throw a coat of paint on that to match...

I am more worried about the Physical toll Bumps, bruises, hurting body parts right now then the mental or tired aspect. I am hoping our young guys recover fast. This definitely a marathon not a sprint and we are not even 1/3 of the way through it yet. I am hoping panthers do not have as much speed as we saw last night and we do not lose most of the races to the puck and play a smart road game, quick zone exits. Let's Go Buff-a-lo, show us your for real...

Yeah I thought that was Marchand out there but when the league allows that douchery others will follow. It makes me wonder if because these guys are shorter/smaller on a skilled more prominent team they get more leeway. I am not saying we didn't get away with a few things but I do not feel like the playing field has been even lately for obvious more dangerous infractions that have been allowed against the Sabres. Warning I do wear glasses although not real rose colored(blue) but could be Sabres biased
