Dan mentioned “good puck possession by Benson, as always” late. Accurate comment. Kid is so good. Just does every little right consistently.

I’m so much happier when the Sabres win. Has anyone else noticed a similar correlation?

If he asserts himself like that more often…he’s got all the tools. Shot accuracy could be tightened up a bit although I think he’s trying for the perfect shot versus actually being inaccurate.

Again, we can’t forget what Zucker did to help this team tonight. Burying that breakaway to tie it up late in the second. So huge.

Thank God Kulich followed up

We played real suspect tonight and got two. this is how you make the playoffs

I’m so friggin pumped

Yesssss

Does Quinn have wheels on his skates?

Need a JJ snipe

Damn I thought Quinn was going to shock us

If we get two…I’ll be pleased.

Big point for a team that played like the righties and the lefties switched sticks for the night.

Shocked it didn’t get called

These boring ass games where we don’t seem to be in sync are the ones we need to grind out points. Super happy about the response. Very impressed.

Haha seriously. Someone reset the Sabres’ router. Game just started.

YESSSSS

Love ugly goals

Idk it just feels like where is it gonna come from? Quinn? Cozens? JJ? We’re missing Tage a lot obviously. He draws a lot of attention.

Regarding the creamsicles. Just put them in the Paul Kariya era uniforms. Iconic logo, clean color scheme. They gotta stop overthinking logos and uniforms designs.

These people overthink this stuff. Ridiculously ugly unis

If Quinn starts Quinning, we’ll keep winning.

I do like the old school logo though

Maybe a boring game to most people, but this one gets me jacked up. No real mental lapses (other than 26 delay penalty and unnecessary icing), always battling hard for pucks, in position, helped out UPL, kept things clear, and grinded out a W. Still a few unnecessary passes, but this one was fairly simple and consistent across the board from the guys. I liked this win a lot because of how they did it.

Tonight made me think this more, but it’s something I’ve thought a lot about. Would it be crazy to build a defense-first team around UPL? I’m talking trap, boring fully defensively responsible at all times. They were even saying that the Kings thought they could catch us because our D jumps up into the play way more than most teams. What if we didn’t do that. I think we could win more game potentially.
