So I have been lurking on this board for years, I believe this is my first post.
After leaving Buffalo 40 years ago as a child, I only have over the last 3 years picked up watching the Sabres again. So, I do not have the long lasting scars and wounds that most of this board has. It is understandable the levels of frustration and emotion that have built up over that time.
But, I came away from last nights game with a very different perspective that I wanted to share from someone who does not have the same fatigue as most here do.
The Dallas Stars look like the team the Sabres are trying to become. They are not the uber physical, in your face brute force team that many on here clamor for the Sabres to become. But a fast team that is fundamentally sound with skill players. It is good to see that they are as successful as they are, as I see the Sabres being like that team in a couple of years.
This team is still very very young, probably younger yet next year and it looks like maybe* we have found a #1 goalie.
With regard to the outcome last night, I love to see the fight from UPL and Dahlin and we had 47 shots on net. We probably win 2/3 with that performance.
