The Sabres played a fun game and when they got down, they played hard.  The PP, looks anemic, they got the one goal, but this game was sloppy from a bouncing Puck and players falling all over standpoint, that didn't help, idk if the ice was bad, but I noticed it a lot out there. Columbus is good (I think) and we kept up and could have easily won it, so I will take it and hope we continue this same style I was going to make a post about this. I've never seen so many Pucks just die halfway to their destination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 8 out of 9Â goals were scored on my end of the ice. I guess I should have trusted the pattern and wandered to the other side of the arena for OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fire it once during pre-game ceremonies, and I think that one really gets the unsuspecting fan.. Even if you’re anticipating it after a goal, you aren’t ready for it before the game even starts.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 So, I did not see, or listen to, the game. I did not read this whole thread. This is what I think after atching the highlights ... It was a good game by both teams. Both goalies were good, but shakey at times too. The Sabres started well, but gave up the lead to trail by two heading into the third. They played hard in the third to tie it, but lacjed a bit of that killer instinct once they tied it. I have never been a fan of the point for a loss things, but last night I think the Sabres earned that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsixspd Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) I hope this game dispels the notion I've seen floated a few times here that "we wouldn't have lost if we started Ullmark"  Let's have some faith in both goalies - and try to remember that every goalie has a bad game/games.  We're playing at a 96 pt season pace right now - which would be tremendous if we finished the year in the 90s.  Heck, if we make it thru 2018-19 with an 85-90 pt pace, I'll be satisfied - especially with so many young players on the roster who should only get better and contribute more next year and beyond.  And Eichel is only at a 22 goals for the season pace - I would hope he can pick that up substantially before too long.  Edited October 28, 2018 by Jsixspd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, although he is not getting the goals he is definitely playing ROR's role on his line and is directly responsible for the success of that line. I also think Larson, Bergland and Girg's is taking a bunch of that defensive responsibility as some other have said here as well. Specifically matching up against other teams top lines with a solid result. All and all i am really happy to have good hockey to watch from my favorite team...   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy for Mitts and another two goal comeback. Mittlestadt said Skinner actually smacked his stick which caused him to hit the puck and it to go in...Skinner should get some type of credit haha...

LTS Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 My quick hits: It was good to see the Sabres come back again. This kind of battle demonstrates the mentality we've been looking for as fans. Scandella needs a few maintenance days. Ristolainen perhaps should play forward. He was more impressive in the offensive zone carrying the puck than he was on the back end. Ullmark proved why he should NOT be the starting goaltender yet. When CBJ jumped up a few goals he began pushing too hard and quite a few times was overcommitting to the play. Nick Foligno almost beat him on one. I like Ullmark and he's showing signs of what he will be, but he's not there yet. Thompson is slow. Very slow. Jack appears to be picking his spots and not trying to overdo it. I think he'll grow back into his game but he continues to be out there playing hard, using his body, and making the timely play when needed. In the past I would have walked away when they were down 2... not anymore. We were rewarded with the effort to come back. OT sucked, but that's the way it goes.

It's only 11 games but so far this is a different team.  They haven't fallen apart at the first sign of adversity and have dominated games at times.  We've been waiting years for this, and the schedule is giving them a chance to keep it going the next couple weeks.  I'm hoping this is the real thing.  I want to believe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
