Tage has been playing very well at center. Don't let that game make your mind up. He has been progressing nicely. Almost blew a 3-0 lead but got the win in OT which was nice to see. This team is interesting...they shouldn't be winning like this but they are...

I have no idea what Green was doing on the INT

Sabres just are...I dunno...good??

We are a lot better defensively simply by getting rid of Risto and not having him put himself out of position and then be clueless with his guy near the net.

Umm...TB got their ass kicked

Damn the Sabres are exceeding expectations in this game. Hopefully Cozens can come back to kick that punk Stamkos ass

Expect them to take their best shot, perhaps even a Boston like game where they may have the balance of play for a while, but ultimately TB takes advantage of their youth and mistakes and wins comfortably

If it's a Jack trade they should be getting at least a quality player now and a high talent prospect to go with picks.

Why do the Sabres always seem to lose in OT?? They are decent in shootouts but can't seem to ever win in OT prior to that.

Not watching the game but seeing the play by play...are they getting manhandled as bad as it appears after the first period?

Eichel would agree with you Maybe, but maybe he will be better than he has the last few years also. That's heading into "get a life" other than being offended as a full time job territory

John Cena's "My Time is Now"

Was on the first line and wasn't cutting it, so he got a demotion... https://www.yahoo.com/news/reinhart-wasn-t-cutting-panthers-201349546.html

Still reminding me of Vegas after tonight...relentless puck pressure and forcing constant turnovers

Lmao! Im going to post this poll after every win this year...should be a fun topic especially if they continue to play above expectations.

Nice win...relentless...pressure...turnovers... But we know it didn't count because Vancouver is one of the worst teams in the NHL(common theme...every opponent the Sabres beat are apparently the worst team in the NHL according to posters)

We all know that no win really counts because the Sabres suck...what's your reasoning that this one doesn't count? I'm going with Vancouver didn't really care about winning.

So they decline to be on WGR but then start an unpaid podcast? I don't get the angle

Sometimes goalies take some time to develop. Sometimes they come in as rookies and look great like Carter Hart and then fall off again... Maybe UPL needs time and will be good maybe he won't. Right now he is still very young and figuring things out.

Guess we will find out. The bar is pretty low.

If he was smart he would have...honestly didn't even have to be smart to do it...just not brain dead. They methodically built something that was even in worse shape than the Sabres having missed the playoffs for 17 straight years... And the first step was to get the wrong people off the bus. That's the first step of ANY successful rebuilding process...you can't allow poison to remain and spread to the other players who want to do what's right.

And accountability...both were something sorely lacking under Eichel. I am on record saying this team will likely finish with more points than any team he was on did.

I mean I am not expecting them to make the playoffs this year...I simply don't think they are going to be as bad as many would lead you to believe.

I mean when the coach benches you and then doesn't give you clear reasonings as to why or what the issues you need to work on are to get more playing time, I'm not sure anyone would be happy.

We've been dealing with this for a decade. At this point, they need to start winning and trust me they'll be back...
