Trettioåtta

Two thoughts: 1) Not enough has been said this season about our ability to win puck battles in the corners - especially in the offensive zone.Its almost exemplary at points. 2) Their goalie looks slightly rattled - making dubious plays and taking that half second to think

First point for Dahlin too?

That is the look of pure relief

Nah. Its the ol' addition by subtraction

I wonder if they'll be tempted to sit him to get Irwen some game time if Joker is even a little bit sore

I think only Oalfsson, Eichel, Reino and Hall played (ignoring Lazar / Eakin starting and then instantly jumping off the ice a few times)

Phew a win. Let's use that to start a roll

So many posts this season

Dahlin is looking much better this game

I'm with Tom. I'm confident in a month this post will be long and forgotten (no offence GA). This team is in a fine and tidy place

I feel bad for jets fans

I think the Sabres will finish in the 2nd or 3rd spot in the division when all is said and done. I have watched all the loses, and have enjoyed the games anyway - this is a team that competes and passes the eye test. We have hit about 7 posts across these few games. That's insanely unlucky. People are losing their mind for no reason - just as I was worried when we started last season winning because I didn't think the team was as good as the standings showed, I am equally not worried about this team this year. Jack and especially Dahlin need to find another level, but we can easily gain some lost ground this year as every game we win takes points from other teams

Nor was that shot

Ok. I'll watch the Sabres. I haven't seen the Bills play this season, so i'll be sure not to watch in case its me

Against the two teams most likely to go 1-2 in the division after having not played in 10 months. Not to mention we outplayed / stayed with the opposition in all 5 of those games.

I also watched... Which one of us should miss next game to work out who is cursed?

Yeah let's get our 19th coach in since Eichel joined. That will definitely help...

That's like his 5th post this season

That's a ***** penalty call

Don't talk about the Sabres' leading goal scorer like that

The PP needs to be more dynamic. They just stand still and cycle the puck. Perimeter play and waiting for the perfect pass / shot is not inherently bad, but you need people moving to create space. You can't just stand there

I think Dahlin needs more mental resilience. I think one or two bad plays get in his head and he then plays worse for the rest of the game

Cozens impresses me. He still looks green and a little bit gangly and weak. But he is very noticeable in a good way - always in a nice location and never afraid to battle for the puck

Exact same for me!

This feels like either a shutout or a rout for Ulmark, given his personal life
