    I'm trying to remember the last away game that it didn't sound like there were a large and vocal group of Sabre fans at the game. Alot of ex-patriots are about and we've been spread pretty evenly it appears everywhere

    My takes of the game:

    1. Jack has entered the superstar fraternity, not just his scoring but his work ethic getting back on defense and along the boards has been nothing short of outstanding
    2. The Bogosian hate community needs to disband, he's been a rock since he's been back, protecting his teammates, playing stout D and has been nothing short of outstanding on the PK. Haters don't have to hate on Zach any longer. The bunker needs to close and be Condemned for health reasons.
    3. How far has the back line improved over last year?? Guhle no longer is considered a savior to be, let him further develop with the Amerks, his speed is enticing though
    4. The Jack-Sampson-Skinner line may be deserving a name soon, they have to be at the least considered in the top 3 in the league right now
    5. Girgensons and Larrson have earned their way back in the lineup and have also been outstanding on the PK
    6. The 2nd and 3rd lines aren't exactly lighting it up but they're not getting lit up either. I'm not sure the LGR line hasn't become our 3rd line. 
    7. I've gone from promoting Phil H to wanting him fired last year to liking him alot again
    8. Mr. Smith has not only improved the back line but the entire Sabres defensive game
    9. Sobotka's role is to be the faceoff man in the defensive zone and that's about it
    10. It appears that Okposo's role is to be the protector of Casey and Sheary and anything else is an added bonus
    11. Hutton and Ullmark are the real deals

    Bogo is a very key player on this team.  Yes, he will make an errant play now and then but without him we lose capability, leadership, and grit.   He does whatever is asked and he is the Policeman of the team.  I can see other teams running Dahlin and our top players without the presence of Bogo on the ice. 

    Yes, I am old school and I think you still need a Policeman in this league, especially once playoffs start.  I would not want to play a playoff series with Boston, Washington, or Philly without him. 

    Look at the Winnipeg trade now.  We have Bogosian and they have Myers and another forward that they drafted.  Kane is gone but replaced by a future first rounder.  Stafford and Armia gone. 

    So who would you want today Bogosian or Myers?      I am happy with Bogosian as he shows leadership and grit that Myers never did.

    I thought Hunwick played well.  Steady   

     Guhle had a good first game and should now move ahead of Tennyson on the depth chart.

    I rank the defense like this (current ability, not potential):

    Risto, Dahlin, McCabe, Bogo, Scandella, Beaulieu, Pilut, Nelson, Hunwick, Guhle, Tennyson

    i see Pilut and Hunwick trending up in the rankings.

    I hate listening to the awful Boston announcers.  Why cant the NHL Network use the away feed?

    I have the Sabres feed.   NHL.TV App stream using my Apple TV gives you a choice.  You get pregame, between periods and post game. You can watch old completed games, highlights, etc. 

     

    The Bruins coverage is terrible.  Their guys never lose a fight either.
