North Buffalo

Somewhere between having a few games and sucking and then sitting and having the coaches in his ear and practicing the way he is supposed to the light switch went on... Man did it go on brightly, hope he keeps it up... er on.

Still think evals are going on and development is still happening... don't think the recent streak is indicative of the work still to be done... more scoring wingers... more depth and at least 1 one more potential top 4 D. Retiring Pommer and Sobotka… finding some tougher 3rd liners that can still skate. Keep developing goaltenders for the future. Sabres don't have the depth or the core of Tampa and the East is tough... but with injuries/sicknesses starting to happen, probably due to all the games recently - depth and young guys are going to be tested to see where the young guns are at. It is going to be good for down the road and PH and JBots will see what they have still to do both talent wise and teaching wise.

Flu can be no joke.

Tampa was getting away with a lot of interference last night. Part of it was they kept their feet moving while doing it. Also a lot of quick grabbing of sticks and bs behing the play. Refs let them get away with a lot and it effected Sabres transition plays. PH is going to need to figure out ways to deal with that stuff because it happens a lot in the playoffs and Sabres are going need to figure out how to play thru it. Good learning experience for this young team because Tampa showed them how its done.

Mccabe or someone else?

No Tenny just no...

Agreed it was bound to happen... nice now the Sabres have some young depth.. doesnt feel as desperate. Nice job JBot... flu season is out there and would bet Scandy may be touched by it which is why he is nowhere near the team... dont need a typhoid Mary near them.

NS you are too much of a gentleman and I appreciate that, good for you being the better man. Always gets me in trouble like Baloos defense retaliation of hit on Bogo, I often end up with a 10 min misconduct when obseqiously riled.

Hope you told them where to stick it... common that was nit picking.

Look I agree on Vlad... sorry you are dead wrong on Risto... PS he won us the game on a slap shot in OT... just saying and when his minutes are kept to around 20 I think he is great.

Remind me who is Brett Murray... USHL listed as one of the prospects? Elite prospects says he was drafted in the fourth round 2016... so an overager playing in the USHL... meh.

Or two, give Pommer a break... CJ and Oloffson would be my choices. Any word on how Berglund is doing?

So Pilut on an airplane to Florida tonight?

What happened to McCabe, didn't catch it. Sabres were outplayed... needed to take Kucherov's legs out... guess you can't hit what you can't see. Pommer hardly played in the third looked like he is done... Bring up CJ or Oloffson... Mitts and Tommer are starting to show their wares... nice to see... Loved Larrson's game, maybe should have put him out their when Sabres pulled the goalie, only guy that seemed to go into Tampa's corners and come out with the puck. Jack was too hyped... needed to shoot more, plays were not there. Skinner needed sharper skates, kept spinning out at bad times... and Dhalin showed his age... That being said great game to watch and I see progress, but Tampa exposed the Sabres holes and where improvements are needed... Sheary's speed was missed in this game. Sobotka wasn't bad, he just wasn't very good either... not enough speed to hang with Tampa's.

Reasonable penalites as long as they are not down 2 guys at once

Tampa gets away with a lot of hooking and cross checks after the puck is gone. Bogo sending a message, hope the Sabres keep hitting. Gotta take away Tampa’s legs and lungs. Jack didnt mean to hit Girardi that way but nervous hes gonna play timid.

Streaming sucks tonight

Lol that and my QB laying an Egg

Good win last week. Close, but good win.

Eating Lightening bugs makes you glow inside... I hope the Sabres eat all those bugs!

Ah that explains it gotta be Ron then had trouble hearing names...

https://www.nhl.com/news/c-302393306 Sabres ranked 4th lastest NHL Poll Strengths: Skinner 19 goals Weaknesses: None!

Might have been the narrator guy but thought it was Tom Keene or Ron can never remember which guy is which.

Let’s Go Buff-a-lo!

Sabres just got mentioned on Bloomberg Financial radio by Tom Keene Bllomberg Financial... “Can Anyone explain the Buffalo Sabres..10 in a row.... what is the average age of them... like 19 they cant even drink... well in Canada they can... helps they are so close to the border... spent many a great night in 70s watching Gilbert Perrault and Rick Martine...” and then a Punch Imlach reference!
