Then I guess you will just look like a dumbass then for the next 10 years ?

Tied for second...Lightning won 6-2 tonight...they have 31 points, us and Toronto have 30. Still technically 3rd since Toronto has one more win than we do.

Much better 3rd...did what they had to do, really limited Flyer chances and Jack just outworks the Flyer Dman for the empty netter by Sam

Toronto lost already we can take over 2nd in the Atlantic with a win

Sabres a little too loosy goosey this period...

Flyers message boards are freaking hilarious

No argument from me...its like they are a little wind up toy when they circle back into their own end and you just wind them up and let them go...

What was Roenick saying in the intemission? He is on a lot with Petey and Craig on the Instigators but i havent caught him in several weeks...

Same issue...I'm at BW3's watching the game in Ohio...had to ask them to specially put the game on for me and they obliged!

And then he wins a fight! Does he have an A yet for the Gordie How's hattrick??

Larsson with a rocket for 4!!!

ERod is possessed out there!

This is just smothering...Sabres reminding me of Golden Knights last year just all over the other team as soon as they touch the puck...its a thing of beauty...

Flyers look like they are drunk out there...Sabres skating figure 8s around them. This reminds me of that playoff game where they got blown out 7-0(9-0?)and you knew it was going to be one right from the first shift

Sabres have come out flying tonight....Flyers are on the ropes already..m

Want to revise this post?

Gives us an A grade so far but only a 7.2% chance of making the playoffs... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.scout.com/hockey/nhl/news/sabres-earn-an-a-by-exceeding-expectations-181121374/amp/

Pilut is freaking tied for the AHL scoring lead with 22 points and Redmond is right behind him with 21...2 D men leading the Amerks in scoring? Crazy!

Oh wow...I wasn't aware Hutton scored 5 goals last night also. Remember how bad the PP was the following year tho when we literally wanted to decline the penalty because we would give up more shorthanded opportunities than get shots, and half the time couldn't even get into the zone?

Just seems to have some similarities to me...the team came out and was kind of unexpectedly good immediately that year and we didn't know whether to really believe if they were good early on or if they were just getting lucky. They could skate, had a lot of young guys making key contributions, and were a lot of fun to watch. Will this team go on to repeat what that team did and make the playoffs? Who knows. All I know is this team really has started to remind me of that one in a lot of ways. I don't like the way they are getting outplayed at the beginning of a lot of games but at some point it almost seems like they flip a switch and just completely take over the game near the midway point or near the end of the 2nd period and just dominate the game in the 3rd for the most part. This team has only started its journey towards becoming good again, and is going to be a lot of fun to watch in the upcoming years, especially now that we don't have to worry about locking up their good players due to money issues.

F it. I'm gonna say it. This team is making the playoffs...they are starting to remind me of the team coming out of the lockout with all the young guys playing big roles...

This is craziness with how they keep getting down in games and then come back to win...

Not me, but it's like the team finally just looked at each other before this season and said F this sh!t, we have the talent to play well and just have gone out there and done it. They are listening to what their coach says and sticking to the gameplan and repeatedly being rewarded for it, even when down multiple goals at times with things not looking good and instead of trying to turn into individuals like last year, they just keep doing what they are doing and seemingly just wear the other team down eventually. That breeds confidence...they become confident in themselves, their teammates, their coaches, and that confidence in turn breeds more success. You never hear in the postgame interviews anymore about how the coaches gave them the gameplan to follow and then for whatever reason they just decided not to do it anymore. All you hear now is how they believe in each otehr, they believe they can win and are never out of games anymore and how they believe in what their coaches are saying and how they stick with the gameplan no matter what all the way to the end...and they are being rewarded over and over again.

How about 3-0-0?

All I know is this team has SOMETHING that is drastically different in their makeup from previous years. I'm not sure if its confidence, maturity, getting the wrong people out of the locker room who used to poison their minds with garbage(looking squarely at you ROR), or whatever it might be, but this team believes they are going to win every game. It does help when you add a lot more fast, skilled players too...and a goalie that, you know, can actually stop a puck in a shootout.
