I’d like to see this team play with the same aggression Skinner had vs NYR.

They just aren’t skating. It feels like we get bodied a bit then collapse back to prevent being taken advantage of. They need to finish their chases to the puck and keep the game fast and open. They’re collapsing and getting too cute.

Let Everybody Vroom Incredibly

Sabres have to open the Panthers up. Dump it over their heads but race them to the corner rather than racing. Too many guys stopping a half stride short on open pucks.

Dude, it only works at the game, everybody knows that.

Time to dump and chase a bit. Force Florida to open up some. Edit: I typed that before the penalty

Devon Levi, the king of the flukiest of goals.

That’s about as bad a call as it gets.

Mitts has had a good game so far. A couple of very good passes.

Cozy huge on both PK’s and the PP.

UPL/Comrie let in 2-3 goals on that PP.

Levi’s jacket game is awesome.

I use Kodi quite a bit. I don't use it so much for relocating, and more for torrents/protecting my own information when I do torrent.

Getting antsy. What time do the Sabres skate today so I can stop refreshing for starting goaltender announcement? EDIT: No morning skate. We won't know the starting goalie until game time.

I use Express VPN, but I pay for it. It is what it says it is, a VPN. Which is generally good practice anyways to protect your personal information. Basically it just scrambles your VPN so your ISP doesn't know what you are doing or where you are. It won't give you the game. But if you did find an illegal feed, Express VPN is something you would want to use to protect yourself from both your ISP and all the nasty stuff that comes from illegal feeds. Assuming this board follows the same rules as TBD. If anybody wants more info on how to get the game out of network PM me.

I know that. I don't think it is too hard for the Sabres to move on from him if they wanted which is why I said next year. Lets remove the timestamp. Do we think Levi goes back to #1 when it becomes available again?

Also, we offered Ullmark a contract.

His glove noticeably faster than UPL. His first save (which was a lay up), I paused and audibly said "oh, ok". That is significant because I was alone. Ha! This review always makes me laugh.

Biggest game since the Pegula's purchased the team. Sounds like the kid is asking for this one. Let him take it.

Do we think he keeps 27 next year, or goes back to 1?

The fact that he was suspended to totally removed makes me think this isn't a kid who made a mistake. He likely showed little if any remorse and is a total *****. Likely suffers from a major case of affluenza.

The Buffalonian in me says "WTF have we basically sucked since the ASG".

Agreed on all counts. The Sabres are a young, streaky team. I have grown to accept that. But more so than any one loss, or even the 8 game losing streak (which they evened out), if we miss the playoffs I blame the stretch post ASG as what has done them in. Had they just played 14-8-3 instead of 11-11-3 we would be having a totally different conversations right now.

I don't know if hockey goes full football/basketball where Kyler Murray is also 5' 10" tall or whatever. I do know I have met Ryan Miller a few times, and we are nearly identical sizes in height/weight and I am 6'2, so that is pretty accurate. I wouldn't be shocked if there is some extra stigma around a goal tender under 6' and Levi is actually 5'10 or 5'11. My dad and best friend are both around that height and they tell everybody they are 6'. I tower over them at a mere 6'2".
