Tondas Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I feel this was a different win. It really inspired progress and why we went through the tank last year. Not a watershed moment neccesarily, but different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 You work for your goalie to get that shut out. Not this team, earlier in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Not this team, earlier in the season. True, but this is what this season is all about, we are seeing the seeds of this team grow. We are all loving it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a watershed moment neccesarily, but different. Let's see how they do the rest of the way. But if they look like this Sunday and play consistently well the rest of the season, I think we'll point back to this particular game as the watershed moment. True, but this is what this season is all about, we are seeing the seeds of this team grow. We are all loving it :D Indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Didn't get to post while watching like usual, but you guys were on your games tonight, I had a blast catching up after the game :lol: Eich was flying, everyone played well. True said that Kane doesn't ever see a shot he doesn't like; that was my reasoning for thinking initially that he had scored Legwand's goal. When Lehner is on, I've never seen a Sabres goalie inspire confidence like that. Even when those crazy save sequences were going, I was convinced there was no chance a puck gets behind him, and none did. The fire he shows is freaking amazing. I hope he's our guy for a long time. Fun one to watch. These games are going to happen more and more often. Oh, and it was awesome how Jack Johnson suddenly was totally distracted by something far away as soon as he realized Lehner was ready to go.

You just don't worry when Lehner's in net. Yeah I know he had a blow-up or two and looked terrible, but like you said, when he's on... amazing. And he's just starting.

Huckleberry Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I know since the trade I've been thinking "What if Lehner wasn't worth a first?". But man, what if he IS worth a first. The guy has been more than solid since getting here. I've been trying to make this point all along , but he still has a lot to prove. He will have his bad moments still, but man he is got the fire within to win. He is now getting the fan base behind him, seems more murray knew what he was doing :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tondas Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Regarding Lehner. The last Sabres goalie that inspired me in the same way is Tom Barrasso. His attitude was, "How dare you shoot, let alone think you can score on me". Lehner takes it a step further by saying, "How dare you shoot on me, I must now beat you down."

Tondas Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) The Sabres played their most complete game in over 2 years. I won't go that far, but there was something intrinsically different in this win. Edited February 20, 2016 by Tondas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a scary and fast guy to be on Risto's left and we'll have a nightmarish trio in the D-zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
