Not the best overall game but enough to do what needed to be done. Agreed, sort of. But doesn't it seem spoiled/unrealistic to say this about a road game that ends 5-1 in BUFFALO'S FAVOR?! We can all see some missed offensive/transition opportunities and the frustrating shifts when the Sabres get peppered with defensive zone pressure/shots...so is the concern that Buffalo is getting lucky goals and/or unsustainable goaltending? Do analytics tell us the Sabres are NOT nearly as good as their impressive goal differential might lead us to believe? Either way, doesn't this 5-1 road win EXCEED our expectations? Would anyone be surprised to learn that the Buffalo Sabres are outplaying (via analytics) their "expected" results right now? I hope not. I also hope no one cares much yet. This is about growth and grit and sustained compete. We're seeing those things. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played an amazing 3rd period without a top D and with Van having dominating them in the 2nd. How did it take so long for him to become an NHL coach. Hard to believe he was on RK’s staff. He got cancer. Screwed up his career timeline pretty well. But worked out great for Buffalo. And pretty sure he's happy w/ where he's at too. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about growth and grit and sustained compete. We're seeing those things. I have never cared for analytics that much, and I am too old to start caring now 😂😂, I do know that the 2nd period of this game and the Oilers game could have caused a significantly different outcome and we wouldn't be as excited as we are now. I think we are flawed a bit, goaltending is solid but may regress a bit, but we are an actual NHL team this season and I'm enjoying it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 Very good to hear Granato saying it's "positive" when asked about Samuelsson. Much more positive than they were when he went off the ice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 Reporter: Any positive news on Samuelsson? Granato: "you know when you see him go down, and have a tough time getting up, yes positive. So, we won't know more obviously until tomorrow but I was holding my breath like everyone else. And you're wondering what type of news you're going to get so, I am much much happier after hearing that." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SABRES 0311 Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 Got to watch the game late. Really cool what the team has done on this road trip so far. Good job by Anderson and the D to keep it to one GA. Dahlin and Tuch getting it done as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to The Hockey Guy's take on this game. Okay so for those who don't know by now, The Hockey Guy lives near Vancouver, the Canucks are his team. With that, let's queue it up to the Sabres-Canucks review: You can hear his exasperation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side the team is figuring out how to play through injuries. Dmen are getting time with different pairs which hopefully helps later in the season when more injuries happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 That's the most effective we've seen olofsson all year. We need the player more. ***** Ralph Krueger. Rasmus Dahlin is a vibe right now and man oh man is he electric. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 Glad too see the win, hope Mules injury is short term just a bad scare... Sabres can ill afford to lose his toughness on D and leadership. Agreed Sabres are a growing team... nice to see a good start to the season but consistency is important... give things for DM to work on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
