Somehow "fluke" doesn't apply although it should. Dahlin needs to be in the shoot out. I thought we had three of four lines outplaying them after they scored. (and the fourth line was a draw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyhound Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 How many fans have started to look at the standings again on a regular basis? I have looked at the standing more in the last month then I did in the last 3 years combined. True. This team is fun again and I'm actually looking forward to upcoming games. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Weird note - the Sabres have a stretch at the need of January where they don’t play a single game for ten days. It must be their week off and then part of it is the all star break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win lose or draw, I loved watching that overtime. 33 minutes ago, North Buffalo said: Who knew when some said they would be happy with 2-4 on this road trip, the Sabres would win the first two... Now playing with House money... hope they just go for it against Minny. Time to run the table! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Now if Caps and Toronto can lost tonight keeps Sabres position in good stead. Sabres could be tied with Toronto tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 What a game! Long story short: The Sabres walked in to Winnipeg, a place the Jets almost never lose, and weathered an early slow start to come from behind in the third period and pull out the win, holding the Jets to 1 goal, snapping Wheeler's 11-game point streak. No one else is really doing that in Winnipeg. Considering how they actually carried their share of the play in the second and third, and because of how good the Jets are, I'd say this is their most impressive win of the season. 104 point pace, one game away from 20, and 6 days from American Thanksgiving. The odds are that the Sabres are a playoff team. Hope and expectation aside. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. As to being their good luck charm, it took a loooooooong time to get that 1st W in that stretch. The Reinhart hat trick game. The first Sabres win I ever saw in person!

The important thing is you figured it out & it's working. And, had you figured it out 1 year earlier, we might be watching Strome as our key performer. Bad things, man, bad things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
