Tage Thompson outscores ROR 3pts to 0. In a late roster move, Vlad Sobotka is inserted into the lineup and scores the hattie that Thompson had the assists on.

They were when they were owning us lol Context matters

Except Detroit is actually ahead of is in the standings so it makes sense that they’ve owned us.

Highly recommended.

I mean, if we lost to Arizona we’d all be talking about how the Sabres just didn’t show up. That doesn’t make us not right. #luvmesomedoublenegative

No. Portillo is not a luxury. We don’t have any goalies until we actually have a goalie. Portillo is key until he isn’t key anymore, which could be never.

And from the same crew that roasted the team over wasted opportunity when getting a 4th rd pick for Scandella, who was subsequently traded for a 2nd. And moving a late 1st for Lehner. This is a serious potential loss of two high quality prospects. We should be concerned. That level of prospect is a precious commodity that cannot be replaced.

I mean, we haven’t given any credit to Toronto in, I dunno, forever? Why the thin skin when they don’t give any credit to the Sabres?

Interesting. I was just thinking this AM that we went from a good 1st line, two mediocre 3rd lines, and an AHL line to a very good 2nd line and three good 3rd lines. The middle six hasn’t been this effective since Drury/Briere left.

My observation is that Toronto is falling into the Jack Eichel trap. Every time Matthews was on the ice, all of his teammates were deferring to him. We all know how that ends. I was not convinced at any point before the empty netter that we had things in hand. Toronto was dangerous all game. But Toronto was not playing a team game. They were playing an Austin Matthews game.

It’s like everything else in life. You get out of it what you put into it.

The longer the current good play remains relatively consistent, the more confident I feel that a goalkeeper may be enough to get us in playoff contention.

He’s definitely imposing his will early in the game. Not flashy. More like a simple “not today”.

I didn’t see toughness im his play. But he’s got a calmness to it. And he uses his stick well to direct the opposing forward to where he wants him to go. I suspect some toughness will creep in as he gets stronger.

His game looks remarkably like Mule’s game tonight. If he develops Mules strength….. wow.

Looks like Cozens line is the 4th line. #whatdepthlookslike

Nah, man. He’s fronting the Foo Fighters.

Never let perfect be the enemy of better.

The color change was unforgivable.

I'm interested. Won't know for 24-48hrs though. Don't wait on me, but if its still available Wednesday evening I can confirm.

If he's forsaking the team that drafted him, I hope he ends up falling back on that business degree. I'm not wishing him injury or anything. But I'm not wishing him success outside of Buffalo either. And if he signs with Buffalo next year at this time, I'm his biggest fan, along with a million other Sabres fans.

What a waste of a 3rd rd pick. The chances those hit are relatively small, and it looked like we hit on this one. We’ll be lucky to get any value out of this at all. Imma be petty here. If he goes UFA I hope his NHL career crashes and burns.

I think they were going easy on him, first ever presser and all
