    Beniers is tearing it up in Seattle while Quinn is sitting in the press box useless. That one is going to hurt of this continues. 

    Refresh my memory, could we have drafted Beniers instead of Quinn? Didn’t think so, so stupid comparison. If you want to argue taking Beniers over Power, you could do that. You’d be wrong but you could do that

    Please trade Casey Middlestadt. He is a turd. And what happened to the highest scoring team in the NHL? Garbage!!

    Did you watch the game cuz Casey was the least of our problems. How quickly you forget about his great pass for our first goal

    If you did watch the game you’d know that When the Tage line plays like they did tonight we have no chance

    UPL was really good, except unfortunately for his overcommitment on the breakaway, but we need our own Hellebuyk. Switch goalies tonight, Sabres win 6-1

    Jost and Ollefson we’re by far are best players - great for them/not good for the rest of the players

    you think we’d learn from Winnipeg’s first two goals and actually have someone in front of their goalie once in while. We need more dirty goals

    Two mishandles by skinner in the last 20 seconds unfortunately - fails on a Basic shootin and he a lane to the net there on the pass at the end

    I’m being too hard on Comrie but, i honestly don’t need to see him play anymore. Having 3 goalies up is stupid

    we desperately need a tough RHD who clears the front of the net - I thought we had that with 46 but he’s pretty lousy. Lubushkin was directly responsible for goal 2 and 4 against. When you contribute nothing offensively you cant play like garbage in your own zone

    I'm  still going  to harp on goaltending.  Generally speaking your not going to win many games when you're opponent scores 4-5 goals on you. UPL has been making good saves and timely ones but the fact is at the end of the game our opponent's have routinely been scoring 4 or more goals on us. I know the lower half of our defense is weak but we wouldn't be "losing leads" with a true number one net minder IMHO. MAF wasn't happy with his game and neither should UPL.Thankfully our offense is high octane. It is fun to watch. But if our offense cools down we'll be in for another loosing streak.

    UPL wasn’t the issue last night, and I’d be the first one to harp on it if he was. You switch MAF for UPL last night and Minnesota wins 10-3. A couple of fleury goals by Minn and D zone breakdowns. Can’t say he should have saved any of the 5 against + he had 6 saves in OT including a couple great ones

    I’d had to watch the condensed game as I went to a wedding tonight.  
     

    Some quick thoughts

    1) Dahlin offensive skills are off the chart. 
    2) Power is looking like he is about to takeoff.  He seems more confident each shift.

    3) Mitts has turned a corner since replacing Skinner on the top line during the suspension.  He looks more assertive and more confident.  He was completely locked in tonight. DG moving him to wing has allowed him to stop over thinking each play and just be natural out there. Jost has fit this team like a glove and has helped Mitts play looser.  With the kids going cold, we needed VO and Mitts to step up and they have.  Now if we can get all 3 top limes going.

    4) Skinner has been awful since the suspension.  He seems to be in a funk. 
    5) Our in zone D play needs work.  Mule seems off as well.  How many stupid penalties can one D take Mr Lyubushkin?

    6) Not UPL’s best effort, but he made some terrific saves.  

    Overall a very solid and exciting win. I agree with earlier posts that this is a team that no one wants to play.  Speed, high skill, scoring depth, youthful exuberance, and a playing for each other attitude is a recipe for success now and in the playoffs if they make it.  
     

     

     

    Not sure why your hate for Skinner? Overall, that line was good tonight not great while the other lines (especially Mitts) made up for it. Only player I though was subpar was Samuellson - he had an off night and Bryson subbed in with Dahlin for him a lot in the 3rd. UPL was even great, despite giving up 5, overall D was suspect and Minnesota could have scored 10

  8. How bad is Casey Mittelstadt?

    Key word being "tonight". If Mittelstadt played like that all the time, or even close to all the time, nobody would say things like that.

    Was at the game and Mitts was extraordinary last night. Vs Minnnesota he knew everybody back home would be watching ……

    Was at the game - with what’s happened this week decided I needed to make the trip from CT for this game and tomorrow’s. Came with my son - crazy atmosphere  - not sure if it was a sellout but sure looked like it. Sat near the Sabres bench and they were going nuts when the crowd started chanting MVP for TNT after his goal.

    UPL was very good despite 5 goals

    not sure why everyone is saying fleury was insane - Sabres got outshot by a lot - and the 5th goal he gave up to Dahlin was hideous 

    Dahlin was insane

    middlestadt was insane - perhaps he needs to play vs his home state team every game 

    crowd was loud

    ref tried to take game away from us in the 3rd

    samuellson has a rare very bad game

    we’re missing hardhitting dman but it is what it is. When Dahlin is your best checking dman, there’s an issue

    amazing game now let’s go Bills - behind Buffalos bench for tomorrow’s game too

    There is some real talent emerging, no question. 

    Goaltending, D depth and 3C seemed to be fatal weak spots but Jost has been adequate, Clague has been relatively solid, and UPL has been very good. With Cozens breaking out big time and others coming along this is perhaps the leap forward we'd hoped would come. 

    Yes Jost is a steal - one of the best players on the ice today. Claque is solid - was our 3rd best dman tonight

    What exactly is Thompson's ceiling?   It's getting to a point where it's considered a bad game if he doesn't score at least 2 or 3 points.

    The trip on Skinner was as obvious as it gets.   Kuznetsov slashes UPL in the mask, undoing the snap and play has to be stopped... all within arms reach of the referee.     That's a penalty every day of the week.     

    Samuelsson a -2, his worst outing of the season. 

    Owen Power wears glasses off the ice.   That said, I assume he wears contact lenses during games... why not wear them all day or get Lasik?  

    Who was Granato yelling at during the timeout?

    UPL made some spectacular saves, but continues to struggle with rebound control, high glove and catching the puck.    Washington scouted him and took advantage.

    Bryson needs to sit.

    JJ Peterka looked dangerous all night, yet logged a team low 12 minutes of ice.

    Mittelstadt is German for "Middle City".

    That Ovechkin guy can shoot the puck,  he'll be a good one.

     

    Picking on the wrong D tonight. Dahlin and Samuelsson were the problem (combined -3 and a lot of d zone sloppiness). Power and Bryson were fine; +1 each

    Great win.

    2 items.

    1.  Said before this game that UPL could cement his spot on the roster today or get himself back on the road to Ra-cha-cha.  Anybody doubt he cemented his roster spot?

    2.  During the broadcast Dunlevy said there were a lot of NHL Brass at today's game.  Did Cozens do enough today to get himself set up as the 3rd Sabre All Star?  Doubt it, but it would be sweet to have him join Thompson & Dahlin in Lauderdale.

    Tuch would go before cozens

  23. Top 5 moments in Sabres history

    Most of mine are boosted from some of the many great posts in here:

    Winning the roulette for Gilbert, leading to Gilbert winding up in his own end

    Going to a game with my dad in the Aud.  Sometimes we sat in the 6th or 7th row deep in the corner and the slappers and big body checks that came flying in were amazing.

    Rico smashing the rookie goal scoring record in the 2nd year of the franchise.

    Schony taking on the Bruins 

    Dominik shutting the door on the Leafs in the playoffs

    7-6

    Who else?  Who else?

    HM:  Briere’s double OT winner vs Philly in 2006, followed a few months later by the Sabres destroying Philly 9-1 early in the 2006-07 season, precipitating Clarke’s resignation and Hitchcock’s firing.  

    In not particular order:

    1. Drury tieing it up, afinogenov in ot vs rags

    2. Woolley in OT vs Dallas in finals

    3. pominville in OT vs ottawa

    4  May day

    5. plante in ot in game 7 vs ott
