Wow maybe we are evolving. No Risto or Reino in the top OT 3 on 3 and shazam they even practice before hand.... Sure did not look like it when they got to their first OT's....

Thank you Sabres Please may I have another,....... Solid game, 4 lines rolling and 2ndary scoring... Lets see if this team can handle success and not be to full of themselves after yesterdays beat down on the Sens... No 2 games alike need to do all the work you did yesterday and yes i'm looking at you Casey, Sam, Erod, Larson... Lets see some more goals form your lines.... Must win because of my insufferable Rangers fan brother in law and me not wanting to hear him snipping at me when this ones done.. Lets go Buffalo.....

Now that's how you respond to the game Thursday. They were the better team all game... Fun to watch and great for the fans... Now Phil do not change a thing, assuming no injuries...

Yeah He can have a place on this team for sure. Got back at the start of 2nd, great looking game. Playing like we thought they can....

Changing up the GDT with PA taking the mantle. I do not want to see, read or hear any player say "we weren't ready to play". As many here have been saying why isn't Tage getting top minutes in Rochester even our illustrious coach admits in a article today in the OTH, 'We continue to develop his game, whether it’s after practice or video, that’s one way to develop,” Housley said this afternoon inside KeyBank Center. “I understand playing is the most important, " Playing is the most important, there he said it . So if the farm team plays the same system as I have been led to believe, what value is practice and video with the parent club over playing more... Phil get a freaking clue. If this is a different team and after losing 3 in a row they better come out the gate like a shot or I will be so disappointed. Let's Go Buffalo, play a 60 minute game for teh Fans at home.

Ok, that better sans the missing Bogo, hope is not a No go. Will it be Linus's turn in net. I think so. Hutton has taken a beating teh last couple of games and could use a rest although I can playing him(Linus) against the rangers angle. Assuming its Lundquist in goal for them

I can at least live with the results when the effort is full on but this I gotta bail because I don't want to be frustrated the rest of the evening and needing to go to bed later.

Wow, They got to happy with with how well they all said Oct. went... this is not the same team i saw and too much like the one I almost dropped Center ice for..

Now this is not what i want to hear because this is the old sabres team not the supposed new attitude team I was buying into when i drank this seasons kool aid.

Yeah I can't deny that however they can't play the whole game and the road team expects to typically have the home team come out and try and storm the gates. Save some of your best after weathering the storm is a philosophy many coaches use. So I expect they will get plenty of ice time 2nd and 3rd periods..

Because at least they are possessing the puck even if that can't do anything offensively well. Gotta start somewhere baby steps.... build off that..

We are lucky to down by only 1, We are doing nothing and if it continues that is what we will end up with...

Arghh, why are we standing around and watching instead of initiating....

Razor just called it out like coach Smith said last Calgary game sabers doing too much standing around and watching instead of carrying the play....

Yeah he is local boy so that was Nice...

Back to chasing and throwing the puck away instead of the possession game they were using when playing much better...

Yeah this type of play wakes up my Irish, how about yours...

Sure let them camp in front, don't clear the front of the net and yeah that happens..

Not skating again already. Can't watch these guys need to work our game not react to theirs

Well then it makes no sense at all why he (Tage) isn't getting big time minutes with the Amerks. I can see why Elie and ERod are here and alternating however I agree ERod should be getting the lion share based on passing the eye & stats test some have shared here

I am pretty sure you, Liger or both know which one(s) would be subject to waiver wire to make it down. Does that have anything to do with not sending him ?

Make sure you tell him he has to buy your significant other drinks during the game. ?

All right another hockey night to look forward to. The 1st of 15 for a November to remember. McCabe back in so D pairings back to what was working better. Agree with those wondering why no Erod. He was playing better than what we have seen of Elie or Tage. Looks like Phil's going to keep us guessing "Housley's" doing this... I hope to see us back to a puck possession 5 man press all over the ice and Sabre's win... Lets Go Buffalo

Great question. I know what he played like his rookie season that had me giddily expecting more and better to come. If I look at what changed since then; 1.) I know he has been doing training each off season 2.) He has had several different coaches and presumably coaching styles. 3.) He may have continued to grow, mature andthat includes brain chemistry until I think I read 23 for males. My snap summary; The coaching style changes and his continuing growth and maturation have messed with his head and how he was playing as a rookie. Second his current training regimen doesn't match how he has grown or the style of play we are currently doing. He is failing with simple puck handling that was not a problem when he came into the league. So unless he has also had concussions that we have not heard about and any lingering effects he quite possibly is not the player he was as a rookie or he we thought he would be.

Such highs, such lows. i am also elevated blood pressure disappointed. Time to back away from the keyboard... See all you Sabre spacers here later.
