I'm not sure about that but I do know the Sabres need to go into Pittsburg and get a win and throw off that monkey. The last time Sabres won in Pittsburg was March 2013!

dudacek Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Five straight wins, all against teams in the top 10. Four of them come from behind. I like Sabres hockey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowing two early goals it would have been easy for this game to get away from him and the Sabres. Credit to him and the whole team for hanging in there. Ullmark managed to keep us in it even after all of the 2nd-period giveaways in our own zone that ended up a SOG for team Minny. Ullmark was in battle mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A comment: He's not perfect, but I'm starting to see Casey Nelson working his way into the lineup as a steady defenseman. He's got a decent level of physicality, knows how to advance the puck, and is a good skater. I thought he had a pretty good game tonight.

If he doesn't work, then spend the assets. Winning like this is allowing us time to develop him. i'm ok with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) I’m seeing a couple Minnesota fans on Twitter say Pominville was known at King of Ping with them because he was either hitting the post and missing or his shot would go off the pipe and in. That’s so incredibly appropriate for him. I remember an OT game a couple years ago against Tampa (I believe) where his slapshot from the point on a power play went off the post and in. I was up in the last row behind that net and was so shocked how loud it was. Also as I type I realized that was like six years ago holy crap. Edit: it was Carolina.

Thorny Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Sabres are 3rd in the division, 3rd in the conference, and 5th in the NHL. 3 of the top 5 teams in the league are from the Atlantic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 I don't care about Risto's stupid plays, he's a core member of the team - I think he's part of the "character" and "soul". They can't get rid of him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are tied for 4th in the NHL, with Minnesota. They have identical records although Minny has more ROW. But we beat them straight up. Tiebreakers be damned, we're in 4th.

He needs to get faster with his stick, legs and mind to catch up to the rest of the team. I'm still hoping he can do it. I feel he needs to take charge of the second line and produce there. IMO Sam's future here is as the second line RW, along with Nylander at LW and Mitts at C. The obvious problem right now is that Mitts is still developing and Nylander is still in the minors. So I would continue to be a bit more patient with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 The way I’m intently watching the standings this early in the season reminds me of how fully invested I was in the tank from day one my god. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're relying on Nylander to make it out of the AHL, then this is all they'll ever be. JBotts needs a better plan than Nylander (and I suspect he has one). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
