They are young. They will be young for the next few years. You could see from the first period that they were tired. This team is not going to win every night.

1. I read the standings, the teams are one point apart. 2. We just beat Detroit and lost to Ottawa, Ottawa just beat us and lost to Detroit, Detroit just beat Ottawa and lost to us. I think Buffalo has the most upside because Dahlin and Thompson are better than any players Ottawa and Detroit have. Plus Buffalo has more skill and speed overall.

Thachuk hit two posts in one shift.

It appears that there is not very much separation between Buffalo, Detroit, and Ottawa. In the recent games everyone is 1-1. I still think Buffalo has the most upside to break away from this group.

We agree on that. Dahlin didn’t have a great game, but he looked like he was the best guy on ice for Buffalo tonight. Ottawa was obsessed with him, they know it.

23 was not ready for the pass from 26. They just don’t have it tonight.

Yes he is. He played over 28 minutes last night, already played 22 tonight with 5 minutes left.

Ottawa is showing me something. Physical team. They are hitting everything in sight. No Alamo

WTF Cozens. Shoot the puck

Bench Skinner ???

Ottawa still sending 2 deep on the forecheck, even with a 1 goal lead. Showing balls. Intheir defensive zone the are having no trouble with us. Easy breakouts, we are not putting pressure on the puck. Someone on the Sabres has to make a play.

We look pretty tired still. Skinner just got our first shot of the period. No forecheck.

Adjusting? We are on a 6 game win streak. Ottawa is inspired tonight and playing well. Both teams are on back to back and are tired, but they have home ice advantage and therefore have the final change. That is big.

Available to the Amerks. If we are in the playoff race and UPL is still a factor, and Comrie is back, then I don’t see the need to play him.

He is due. I want him shooting more.

We shall who which time has more in the tank. Sabres played a better period but they sure are missing the a lot.

Big rebound, no one home

27 year old rookie.

Put it on net and we had a guy there for a rebound. You gotta hit the net

Is this hockey? How is that a hook? Yesterday is sure wasn’t. Arbitrary calls every game.

Not much on the 5v3. Still look slow and thinking too much.

Sabres taking Perimeter shots, not enough presence in front of their net. Ottawa forechecking hard and sending multiple players deep. We need to play faster. Nothing yet. They are working harder.

The Senators came to play.

Good evening and Happy New Year Teammates, Punch checking in. Go Sabres, keep it going, keep working. Muscle Weight.

Hard to predict a win given a road B2B, but Ottawa should be just as tired, maybe more. I think the Sabres are having too much fun to have a let down and I think Tage is going to have a big night soon. So why not tonight? Sabres - 6 Sens 3
