There will be some interesting line combo's next season. I assume KO retires but think about Tage healthy again and in his prime with Skinny and Tuchie back. JJP and Quinn both playing a stronger and more confident game, Cozen still progressing, Greenway finding a new game, Mitts now progressing. Add Savoie for a 9th. We still have Krebs working hard at his game. Kulich is coming up at some point and maybe Rousek? Jost and Zemgus will be FA's but could still be a part of it. Perhaps they add another vet that is a skilled defensive player that can take faceoffs and play on the PK? That doesn't yet consider Östlund, or Rosen, or the Russians. Many more pieces than positions.

I think he is another Sabres player on the rise. Dahlin is tight with him because he says he is very competitive. It’s possible that is helping Casey channel his competitiveness the right way. The kid who couldn’t do a pull up is becoming a workout guy and he is getting stronger, smarter, and better.

Yes. There are several games we could point too. Every game matters.

Yes. They have a lot of skill with the puck, and Granato teaches them to be fearless on offense, it seems to really help in 3v3. Once they control it they know how to maintain it.

I am happy. Big game and big win. 1. Fan Appreciation Night 2. Craig Anderson Night - wonderful ending with great team support and respect from the opponent too. 3. Win against a team we are going to grow up battling. We passed them this year. Let’s leave them far behind next year.

He is hurt. Has been for quite awhile. He is pushing through it and doing his best to finish the season. Someone made a decision to shut him down.

He is playing great hockey. He wants to stick with Buffalo, Dahlin is pushing him to be his best.

Anderson made this game important.

Shoot score . Mitts

Wow. Kyle almost scoring to win it, in perhaps his last home game. Hits iron. Keep battling boys.

Not from any highlights I’ve seen. Greenway is not much of a fighter.

Ok Greenway jumping in to help Tage. Good to see.

Peterka having a strong finish to the season.

Skinner with more opportunities… bury one Skinny

Cozens almost scored. Come back Dan.

Brady likes to be on top of Anderson on every whistle. Need a Tim Horton to fix it.

But they scored on an almost 2 minute shift

PP#1 is terrible tonight.

Special Teams a factor. Ottawa 1-2 on PP. Sabres 0-4 on the PP.

Matches the 23-10 face off deficit. And for those who scoffed at Ottawa picking up Giroux, that was his 35th of the season. 35th.

Exactly, it was heading off target.

Skinner missed another open net. Bouncy puck

We lost one of these kicking things to the Islanders, during the last slump, and that is another. Incredible.

Yes. It’s hard to tell about the coaches. The players, especially the goalies, have been a problem that is visible.

The PK has to be a priority.
