  1. If what you are saying is true, then this team is not that bad. They just need a quality goaltender like most other good teams have.
  2. But don't most cities have Little Caesars pizza? Call it a wash
  3. Well, when you are always in rebuild mode, that happens I guess. Maybe this time just keep the team together and hope--with adjustments here and there--they mature into a good hockey team.
  4. I just wonder (hope) having Levi up next year makes them both better and makes it so one is not playing too much. UPL is just not ready to be the man every game. Plus competition makes both of them better. Playing the hot goalie might be the way to go.
  5. JJP!! Owen with the 🍎 Dahlin 🍎
  6. No disagreement here on that play. Scoring on our own net was bad, but that play was way worse. Hopefully he learned from it and I'm sure he did. I bet he beats himself up over stuff like that.
  7. https://www.nhl.com/wild/news/game-preview-vs-buffalo-sabres-032225 SAINT PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota Wild is on the hunt tonight,? seeking to dull the Sabres and secure the season sweep against Buffalo. The Wild is on a two-win streak, finally finding some rhythm and chemistry after a rough return from the 4 Nations Face-Off break. G Filip Gustavsson saw his best two performances since the break in Minnesota's last two games, saving 28-of-29 shots on goal against the Kings on 3/17 and 34-of-34 SOG against the Kraken on 3/19, tallying his 11th career shutout. Gustavsson now holds the title for fifth place all-time shutouts by a Wild goaltender. Wild Record: 39-25-5, 83 points, 4th in Central Division Sabres Record: 27-34-6, 60 points, 8th in Atlantic Division 2024-25 Series Record: 1-0-0 All-Time Wild Record: 16-10-6 (5-6-4 at Xcel Energy Center) On the Mend Jonas Brodin: lower-body injury (nine game missed) Joel Eriksson Ek: lower-body injury (12 games missed) Marcus Foligno: upper-body injury (two games missed) Marcus Johansson (one game missed) Kirill Kaprizov: lower-body injury (19 games missed) Connections LW Marcus Foligno was born in Buffalo and tallied 116 points (49-67=116) and 334 PIM in 347 games with the Sabres (2011-17) Foligno was drafted by the Sabres in the fourth round (104th overall) of the 2009 NHL Draft Johansson tallied 30 points (9-21=30) in 60 games with Buffalo in 2019-20 Bogosian collected 67 points (13-54=67) and 234 PIM in 243 games in parts of six seasons with Buffalo (2014-20) LW Jordan Greenway was drafted 50th overall by the Wild in the 2015 NHL Draft and recorded 119 points (38-81=119), 227 PIM and a plus-18 rating in 317 games over a span of six seasons with Minnesota (2017-23) Tuch was drafted 18th overall by the Wild in the 2014 NHL Draft and made his NHL debut with Minnesota, skating in six games during the 2016-17 season LW Jason Zucker was selected by Minnesota in the second round (59th overall) of the 2010 NHL Draft and collected 243 points (132-111=243) in 456 games across nine seasons (2011-20) with the Wild Fast Facts Minnesota’s 7-0 win at Buffalo (1/15/15) is tied for the largest margin of victory in franchise history
  8. Making a mistake in a higher pressure situation makes them idiots? Successful people make more mistakes than the losers that never even try to accomplish something. 🤣
  9. Lol, ya sure blame these players for what happened when they were 12 years old, whatever
  10. They played a really great road game and just made a few disastrous mistakes at the end. With the scored tied late Dahlin fanned on a clearing attempt that put the puck right on a players stick with a wide open net. Shouldn't have happened, but that's life. Terrible accident. Then TNT has the puck with us ready to go on the PP with goalie pulled, a golden opportunity to tie the game, and the puck ends up in our net, ugh. Then Dahlin mishandles (with his hand) and the puck slithers in our net. Tough loss. But it shows, yet again, there is a fine line between winning and losing.
  11. That’s totally amazing! What a nice facility!
  12. 🤷‍♀️ Happy Equinox --though because we are so far north there is actually 12 hrs and 10 minutes of daylight. But this winter is officially in the books, hurrah! https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/how-to-watch-buffalo-sabres-utah-hockey-club-preview-lineup-storylines The Buffalo Sabres make their inaugural trip to Salt Lake City for a Thursday night matchup against the Utah Hockey Club at Delta Center. Regulation has settled nothing in Buffalo’s last two games, but the Sabres emerged with a shootout victory Saturday versus Vegas and an overtime win Monday in Boston. Monday’s result snapped an eight-game winless streak away from KeyBank Center, and as the Sabres continue their four-game trip, they look to continue improving their defensive play and overall performance on the road. “We’ve got to clean up our road play, and that will give us a good shot of making the playoffs every year,” said forward Peyton Krebs, who opened the scoring in Boston with his sixth goal of the season. “The teams that have the best road record seem to make the playoffs. So, (we’ve) just got to continue to build off this, play the right way and good things will happen.” Utah, despite continuing a tough March with a 7-1 loss Tuesday at Edmonton, still sits just four points behind Vancouver for the second Western Conference wild card spot and is 5-1-1 in its last seven home games. Lineup notes JJ Peterka (lower body) practiced Wednesday and "looks like he's good to go," according to Sabres coach Lindy Ruff, after missing three games due to injury. Josh Norris (undisclosed) is "progressing, but slowly" as he works his way back to the ice. He's missed Buffalo's last two games and didn't practice with the team. Ruff had no further updates on Jiri Kulich (concussion), who didn't travel with the team after sustaining a hit to the head and exiting Saturday's win. Check back during the morning skate at 1:30 p.m. EDT and warmups at 8:30 for potential lineup updates.
