HumanSlinky39 Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I'd have to.see that Wheeler shot again, I was watching Anderson. But I know he was moving at grandpa speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Flashback of Lehner there. O.T. Was fun but man I hate the shootout. Overall a pretty good game. Got the point. Keep moving forward gents. Onward and upward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) That was a garbage call on Wheeler’s goal. stack another good effort and another point. What amazes me is the Sabres are doing this with bad goaltending and bad special teams. Imagine this team with middle of the league goaltending and average PP and PK Edited March 31, 2022 by Flashsabre 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 A pretty uncharacteristic night for a few guys. The effort was there, so I can't complain. They just weren't quite dialed in with each other, and Anderson was far worse than usual in the shootout. The Mitts line was very good, he had a magnet in his stick on the forecheck and Asplund easily had his best game since October, and is trending positively. Dahlin had the worst night I've seen from him in weeks, but he was still good. Fatigue-induced giveaways were really the only issue. I think the team missed Samuelsson, especially against a bruising team like WPG And I'm not sure how Winnipeg's defense has been all year, but they were very disciplined in their gaps and active in passing lanes. The Sabres were forcing too much through the middle sometimes. Other times, they got the cycle going (not just on the boards, but through the acorn's hat part of the offensive zone) to confuse the Jets and got some good chances from that. A well played & coached game by both teams I'm ready for Friday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, Craig is 58, back in his hey day, goalies didn't poke check. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Hellebuyck is really good. He just makes it look so easy all game. Surprised we got two on him in the shootout, actually. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearing 100 mil in dead cap. They did that, got their franchise QB in the meantime, and were immediately in shape to build an elite team. What was the Bills' biggest need after the 2018 season? Well, they had one of the worst offensive lines in history, and Spain/Morse/Feliciano/Nsekhe made it average so that Josh didn't get himself killed in 2019. Some well-placed receiver additions got the team right back to the playoffs. What was the Bills' biggest need after the 2019 season? Offense, finishing drives, and a #1WR. Enter Diggs and the best offensive season in Bills history. What was the Bills' biggest need after the 2020 season? Continuity, shoring up the run defense. They didn't really add anyone to do this, but became the #1 defense statistically while maintaining an offense capable of scoring 12 TDs in 16 playoff drives What was the Bills' biggest need after the 2021 season? They needed one more stop against Patrick Mahomes on 3rd down, one more KC punt to win that game. So he got The Closer. We still have all our draft picks, he will make sure CB is at least adequately filled and I know this entirely because of his track record of attacking weaknesses I am waiting for Kevyn to show me for the first time that he can identify and attack his team's weaknesses, the circumstances of his 2 offseasons have kind of prevented him from really shaping the team himself (Krueger first, then needing to blow it up), it's his first real shot to mold a promising pile of clay into a beautiful vase, I hope he can do it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What amazes me is the Sabres are doing this with bad goaltending and bad special teams. Imagine this team with middle of the league goaltending and average PP and PK Honestly, I feel like our goaltending the last month has been pretty solid. And just so happens we're winning a lot and (minus EDM) competitive when we don't. Anderson let a couple of "eh" goals in in regulation, but also saved a handful of others that could've easily gone in. Played well enough to get the W in regulation, we just couldn't stop body shotting Hellebuyck. He was brutal in the shootout, though. Will be an interesting offseason. A solid vet goalie needs to be priority 1, but boy howdy, that's gonna be a crowded market. I've loved what Andy has brought to the team, but depending on a 40 year old goalie again is playing with fire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
