How bout now?

Had more shots in the 3rd than the Sabres had for the whole game

Then they have to have a better answer than all 5 guys in the D zone and just flip the puck down the ice so the opponent can just come at them again or get an icing. Make the other team pay for it with odd man rushes and counters going the other way.

Only 4 points back of the Isles and the final playoff spot with 2 games in hand.

Again...I HATE how they play 3rd periods with big leads...hanging on for dear life. Same as Colorado. It was the altitude there. Tonight it's probably they were tired at the end of a road trip... I don't care. They have to be better than this crap. Thankfully found a way to win and UPL stole the game for them. Get the hell out of Dodge and get back home.

Is Cozens out? Jost has been out with JJP and Quinn the last few shifts WTF is Granato doing...

Larry!!

No player averages more goals/60 minutes than Tage over the last 82 games...or this year

He could have 30 by the beginning of January

Sabres are tenaciously backchecking on D...forwards just giving the Vegas players no space in the zone

And they gave us a first for Risto then paid him

Have the Sabres learned how to play defense??

Tage leads the NHL in goals/60 minutes over the last 82 games(a full NHL season). Matthews is 2nd. Tage is also a better passer, and the more complete player as he averages 1:05 a night on the PK whereas Matthews doesn't play on the PK at all.

It's a play on QVC

beat out random goalies that get 4 wins I guess.

It was supposed to be QPC...my fault

Tuch-Thompson-Skinner line is 5th in goals as a line in the NHL QPC Home Shopping Network Line is 19th as a line in the NHL... That is pretty freaking good...2 of the top 20 lines in the NHL.

Not if they continue playing at this point pace they aren't. Doesn't matter with other teams really...very few will play at this pace and the Sabres will comfortably be in the playoffs by April. That's a BIG if tho. Gotta be encouraging they aren't falling apart again on D with a bunch of starters out tho(Mule clearly a huge difference). Also encouraging they have allowed 0,2 and 2 goals in their last 3 games. They will win a LOT of games that way.

Is this an optional skate?

Yesterday was the first time ever the Bandits, Bills and Sabres all won on the same day! Great day to be a Buffalo sports fan!

That line is on a pace that far exceeds anything Drury and Briere did as good as they were. They are nearing LaFontaine, Mogilny, Hawerchuk status but still got a long way to go to get there.

Maybe not with Choke Reinhart playing key minutes

The Wings have 1 game in hand.

He is ridiculous...the whole line is

I keep saying it but this is the closest thing to the Harlem Globetrotters on Ice that the NHL has seen...they just make it look so pretty so often...
