I thought it was a pretty even game for the most part. Anaheim had the better play early, Sabres started playing better towards the end of the second and into the third. Good teams find ways to win when they aren't at their best...we might be trending in that direction.

That means technically we are ahead of them and their ridiculously terrible -20 goal differential.

Yeah he has had some amazing short handed goals and empty netters from that... In this case he just out muscled a guy and shoved him to the ground and took the puck. Straight beast mode...

Wasn't their best game but they played hard and came back from 2 down when they could have just went away. Lindy starting to rub off more and more it seems... Hoping Tage comes back soon...thought he was going to be in against the Kings and now he is still out tonight...

Kulich!! Welcome to the NHL!

Nice way to start the road trip

Mutha Zucker with the PP tally!! 7th straight game with at least one PP goal now!

Aka late night snooze fest.

This is one of the most boring games I have watched in a long time. Literally nothing is happening.

Typical Sabres Flyers game... Flyers look like they should win the Presidents Trophy and Sabres look like they never played hockey before.

Sabres pulled a Belichick and got rid of a guy right before he falls off a cliff.

That's kinda crazy because the games I remember were the ones where the Sabres got shellacked and either got shut out or scored one goal including one time where they played either back to back or 2 games within a week and got crushed both times.

Speculation Edmonton is not happy with his lack of production and will be looking to move him soon... https://oilonwhyte.com/likely-trade-destinations-for-jeff-skinner

Let's see how far they have come. This was a really bad matchup usually under Granato. Some of their worst games came against the Flyers.

Ah...gotcha...so it's mostly a move to allow them to call up Kulich? Keep forgetting hockey and baseball have a retroactive IR whereas the NFL does not.

Guess he won't be back the game after this one

Dahlin with the bomb!!!

Interference that b!tch!!!!

What BS

He was pushed into the goalie by the defenseman of anything.

The workhorse!! From Whitehorse!!

Also...how was that not interference on the Saint Louis player against Bryson on the second goal? He literally impeded his ability to get to the puck after the dropped it back...that looked like blatant interference to me.

Can't get a goddamn save when we need one to save our life

This is the type of crap that people throw about that is so tiresome. How many times do teams bring their "A" game? Not that often over a long season. Maybe 20-25%? If you think otherwise you are lying to yourself. At the end of the year, nobody asks how, only how many. Points, Wins, whatever. Trying to do mental gymnastics to equate how a performance in a single game somehow relates to XYZ is a fool's errand that will have you going down a lot of rabbit holes if you let it. Could they play better? Sure. Like we didn't just watch them demolish teams the last 2 games. Thinking every night is going to be like that is just ridiculous. Let's enjoy watching this team figure out how to start winning consistently before we slam them for not getting enough style points while doing it.
