Well when you put it like that, I agree. However, I don't want "the business" of the game to impact Eich at this point in his career. To underestimate the bond he has with Moulson would be foolish. We need positive vibes and our superstars to be happy.

Yes, he's a shell of his former self. The only thing that makes me hesitate is his mentorship of Eichel. Although, Eich's in a bit of a funk lately....

Great back check from Larsson. He just saved a goal.

Wings that score consistently. 3rd and 4th liners that can chip in.

I was just thinking the same thing. It's nights like tonight where they don't look like a team in 29th place. The future looks promising.

Trots not looking happy.

Canadian or XXX

Holy smokes! Da boys are playing well tonight.

IMO, Johnson is our #1. He seems to give us the best shot to win each night. Linus has me nervous and too early to tell on Lehner.

Nice :)

Kane having a good PK.

Yoink!

Kane GOAL!!! To Hot To Handle!!!

Buffalo lacks a Vanek-like player, someone who goes to the front of the net, takes a beating but screens the goalie and taps in rebounds. Way to draw a penalty Jack.

Who wants a beef on weck after that bit?

Good first period. Clean up the penalties. The Sabres need to stay aggressive and not sit back. Risto with 21 helpers this season... Impressive.

Does this put pressure on some of the underperforming veterans? I hope so. #youth movement

Lame, B-lo cannot afford to give the Caps PP chances. The first PK looked good but Ovie already camping out in his "office" with a good chance.

Varrone!!!

I was pleasantly surprised myself. Simple and effective.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F4a8meH2OqA I'd like to see a night full of this from Risto. Keep #8 on his backside and off the score sheet.

More beer... Seriously though, I too have noticed a lack of crowd noise during the games. We have a young team to be proud about. I'm sure the energy level on the ice would get a boost from some life in the stands. It shouldn't take a goal for people to get out of their seats and cheer these guys on. Go Sabres!

That's the plan. I've been lurking in the shadows for so long I figured it's time for me to join the community of loyal (and obsessed) Sabres fans. Always enjoy watching Sabres play the Caps. I spent a few years in the Baltimore-Washington area when Ovie was early in his career. Here's to hoping Eichel puts together a multi-point game.

First post, been following Sabrespace for years. I'm looking forward to joining the discussion. Go Sabres!
