I expect a minimum of 30 goals and that he will lead the team in points and look like he is turning into a star. This didn't age well 😂 Damn...talk about prophetic

Yeah goaltending, especially during the stretch where we were down to like our 5th and 6th string goalies due to injuries was ridiculously bad. Seems they allow at least one softie most nights. In 2 years this team will be going places I think...they have a legit pipeline of young talent coming up.

It's crazy because when he was playing with the Sabres he was excellent most nights. Perhaps this is a case where he is better in the NHL than the AHL? Wouldn't be the first time a goalie pulled that off.

Really surprised to see them so far back even tho they have a winning record...seems like their entire division has a winning record. They score a lot of goals but they have given up the second most in the AHL...their goaltending has been atrocious it seems. Damn...Quinn is really freaking good... 48 points in 32 games... Can't wait til he is up here for good next year along with Peterka

Hey, it's not my fault the site on mobile had some snafus! Kept pressing submit reply and it acted like it didn't work, then after I gave up, noticed it actually did work like 5 times...and wouldn't let me edit it to delete the extras 😂

That reminded me of something straight out of the movie Slapshot...I was half waiting for the Hanson brothers to pile over the boards and start wailing on the Sabre players after they scored 😂😂😂 That reminded me of something straight out of the movie Slapshot...I was half waiting for the Hanson brothers to pile over the boards and start wailing on the Sabre players after they scored 😂😂😂 That reminded me of something straight out of the movie Slapshot...I was half waiting for the Hanson brothers to pile over the boards and start wailing on the Sabre players after they scored 😂😂😂 That reminded me of something straight out of the movie Slapshot...I was half waiting for the Hanson brothers to pile over the boards and start wailing on the Sabre players after they scored 😂😂😂 That reminded me of something straight out of the movie Slapshot...I was half waiting for the Hanson brothers to pile over the boards and start wailing on the Sabre players after they scored 😂😂😂

Sabres sleepwalk through the first 25 minutes of the game and then decided to wake up and play... Amazing comeback, but it would be nice not to have to do it twice in a row, 2-0 to the Rangers and 4-0 to the Hawks. I have to admit something is brewing with this team over the last 3-4 weeks and I really really like it. The last goal he allowed was brutal...luckily his counterpart allowed an even more brutal game winner. Well, the double deflection on the Okposo goal was kinda lucky too

Far more cringe that a person can't even spell a player name right, IMO

Who knows. Let's get there for the first time in more than a decade and then we can decide. Cool?

I think you mean Krebs?

Or a slapper...sometimes he just wound up and blew the puck by the goalie who never even moved

Surprised after looking it up but Tage Thompson has the 3rd highest goal scoring percentage in NHL history of players with a minimum of 10 attempts The only other active player with a higher goal scoring percentage in shootouts in Artemis Panarin. Always thought Kotalik was the best I had ever seen but he ranks only 18th. https://records.nhl.com/records/skater-records/shootout/best-shootout-scoring-percentage-career

Didn't know he was that bad...the best I've ever seen in the shootout was Ales Kotalik...dude has the forehand, backhand roof job similar to what Ovechkin did tonight except he did the same move every time and even tho everyone knew it was coming it was almost unstoppable. Surprisingly, Kotalik is only 18th best in NHL history based on shooting percentage...in fact we might have a better player right now in Tage Thompson who ranks 3rd all time in shootout goals. Skinner is awful, ranking 387 out of like 419 players with a minimum of 10 attempts. In fact Ovechkin isn't that great either, ranking 200th. https://records.nhl.com/records/skater-records/shootout/best-shootout-scoring-percentage-career https://youtu.be/JUaIyNyM1as

Huh? Lehner literally would give up a goal on every shot in the shootout. I don't think he is in that category... Out of 116 goalies with 40 or more shootout attempts, Lehner ranks 113 in save percentage. You know who ranks one spot below him at 114? Marty Biron. Surprisingly, two former Sabre goalies rank very highly. Linus Ullmark is the best goalie in NHL history in shootouts based on save percentage and Jhonas Enroth is 11th overall.

Holy cow Laviolette has packed on the pounds since his days against us in Carolina. Dude looks like the Michelin Man

Tokarski is like the pitcher with a 2.51 ERA and a losing record because his team never scores when he pitches

Lock him up longterm at that rate before all the other young players get here and he becomes even better than he is now.

Well at least there is a playoff race in the Western Conference...East has been playing for seeding only the last month and a half.

No, it looks fine to me.

Both teams enter the game playing well...Caps 7-2-1 and Sabres 7-3 over their last 10 games, good for 4th(tied) and 5th best in the NHL over that timeframe. Sabres tied for second longest win streak in the NHL with Boston and Dallas with 3 in a row, trailing only the Wild's 4 in a row, while Caps have lost 2 straight. Should be a good game. Hoping the Sabres continue their strong play of late tonight...this team is starting to put it together. Tage Thompson, likely 30 goal scorer. Who saw THAT coming before the season started??

No, but I think they will be in the mix at the end of the year, probably missing by 6-8 points ultimately. I think the following year is when they break through. Sabres really started to come together...have the 5th best record in the NHL over their last 10 games.

Well deserved win tonight...thought they mostly dominated play

Playing really well tonight again...I don't want to hear Pittsburgh just played last night either... Sabres got their ***** handed to them in Edmonton and then played in Calgary the next night and pulled off the 1-0 OT win.

Pretty crazy to think the playoff teams are pretty much already locked in barring a monumental collapse by someone and an extreme hot streak by a team outside the playoffs that is close enough to catch them, which at this point is likely only Columbus, who is 13 points behind Washington with a game in hand for the final wildcard spot. Highly unlikely this happens. Cannot ever remember having such a disparity between good and bad teams in the conference. Has this ever happened before?
