You must admit the Sabres looked like the better hockey team tonight against a good NYR team. Really in sync through most of the game. Its almost like a light bulb got switched on in their heads. They skate now like a team thats not looking back.

Seems more complicated from a new ownership standpoint vs NFL IMO. Talent in coming from other countries. Good coaching and management really hard to find. It does to me anyway. If I was a new owner and all I had working for me is I love the game of hockey. Russ Brandon whispering sweet nothings into my ear.

A win tonight would be a huge confidence builder. GO SABRES!!!

The Bills went much longer, but you know what , the one right hire changed the culture. Pegula's did it once and they will do it again. Who knows. Perhaps they already have...

Luv me some Ullmark!

Hall seemed to be more motivated last night. I say play him and see where it goes. Taking a puck to the face the other night seemed to wake him up there for a minute. Feeling the frustrations Hall needs to unleash them onto the oppositions goaltender. Perhaps the spark plug just needs a spark...

Under the circumstances it takes an instant show/sign of respect and confidence in what the man thats standing in front of you is trying to convey to turn things around so quickly. Its the kind of thing that doesn't come easily IMO. Not under these circumstances. I really like our Buffalo Sabres Hockey team. Fun to watch when they play as a team. I really like our new HC. The team has grit and showing good character in my humble opinion. Did I mention good Goaltending. Who are these guys?

The Buffalo Sabres Hockey team is exhausted. Out skilled and over worked yet still, they fought like mad men overlooking the gates of Valhalla. They come from the lands of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow Thats my perspective...

I think 3 on 3' s awesome. The game becomes a high energy boxing match. The emphasis on basic fundamentals becomes magnified. One wrong move, KO See ya!!!

Its a good point and just asking for it 3 on 3

One has to wonder If Jack might be watching these games and thinking, wow, this sure looks better, and bet I could have made the difference between 4 and 6 points.

Its looks to me he still thought Olofson was going to poke the puck through, I don't know, it was pretty bang, bang, it is something that should be talkied about between players and coaches for sure. 3 on 3s a different beast. One mistake and its all over.

It was a spirited game. Sabres were really slamming there bodies around with bad intentions the first half of it , but started running out of gas. Confidence in goaltending is growing and confidence in themselves and as a team is growing. As a Sabre fan and big homer it is a wonderful thing to see. You have to give most of the credit to coaching because the transformation in such a short time has been amazing in my humble opinion.

Looks like Reinhart expected to get the puck tapped back in deep to him along the boards and it got Ofed to me SDS

We might be on to something here for backup goaltender

True that,lol

Sabres players were running out of gas yet showed some grit and determination to pull off a tie. Wish we could have went into a shootout. I had a feeling If we could Sabres would win.

Our goalie sure did and from our backup it was really good to see.

Its been fun for me

Looking better for sure, nice save Dahlin

I'll take the point Nice game Trobarski, we might have found our backup

Its a beaut

Now thats what I'm talking about baby!

Tall task for Tokarski, Can we make it two in a row now...

My questioning Jacks leadership abilities relates more to the long term Sabre woes since he became a Buffalo Sabre. The spurts of good stretches followed with bad. Never reaching the playoffs. As leader of a hockey team its up to Jack to help keep the players grounded and on an even keel IMO. By no means am I saying all the Buffalo Sabres problems are Jacks fault. What I am saying is he hasn't helped from a leadership standpoint in my humble opinion.
