Good win. Carolina started great in the 3rd, and then... that was pretty much it from their side. Buffalo closed them out.

Right. Left. Next one is dead center for the ENG.

Nice job, Joker

Alright... let's go get a free empty netter.

An uneven game... outworked and sloppy for some stretches. But never backing down and they kept battling rather than folding. In past years, when other teams turned it on, the Sabres rarely had an answer. This season, they've been answering. This is the way.

And that's the Cozens we're looking for!

Concentrate all fire on that super star destroyer power play. Let's close this out.

Also, that keep and pass by Dahlin was lovely.

... looking like them in a few more years. Someone keeps saying Olofsson is a one-trick pony. If your only trick is scoring goals that spark comebacks or take the lead... that's a pretty good trick.

They are really tenacious. I hope our Carolina-scouting-contingent has us looking like them WOOOOOOO!

Gah! Mitts with the assertive check, take the puck possession, get to center ice... but then hands it right to CAR to go back the other way instead of getting it deep. Consistency.

Really poor start. Weakly poking at the puck to try to clear the zone rather than skating a few strides and moving it with authority. Cozens' turnover. Going to have to reawaken.

Yes for the local market games. But not the TNT or NHL Network games. The Heritage Classic v. Toronto is not accessible on ESPN+.

Stay aggressive. Remember the Alamo Death Star! JT Compher following in his sister's footsteps.

Many ways to interpret that... not good at establishing a cycle in the o-zone except for Okposo's line, not good at winning faceoffs leading directly to a scoring chance, reliant on the opposition being unsettled to get a goal... However... some of the best Sabres teams I ever saw felt like it was "Hasek makes a great save and as the opposition looks skyward, the Sabres rush up-ice and score". It can all work out.

And that, 'Spacers, was a good period.

Hino has to watch his temper. He had another retaliation penalty a few games back.

The passing came back nicely.

It really would be nice to hit one or two passes in transition in the 2nd period.

Lulling their goalie to sleep.

Butcher reminding us why we like Pysyk more as a #7 (edit: or 8 )

What a super-aggressive PK they have. Gotta dump and chase for a possession next time.

A communications disruption can mean only one thing... Evasion! of a college draft pick to free agency.
