French Collection Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Well, that was a satisfying roller coaster ride. What a game by Tuch, UPL and Cozens. Gutsy game by Krebs. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mango Posted December 31, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 This was supposed to be a Saturday afternoon, keep me busy kinda game. I expected a loss here. But man, a W?! This was one of the most excited I’ve been watching a Sabres game at home in maybe a decade. 11 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinreaper Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) As of the other day Tuch had played 82 games for the Sabres since gaining his health. He had 73 points in that time. His 4 points today sorta gets him a little closer to a point a game guy. The trade with Vegas is looking better and better with Tuch's skills and with Krebs looking better and better. Kudos to Granato for recognizing what his players need to progress and develop. I wouldn't be in a hurry to give up on anyone on this team.

Thompson was nothing for the 1st 3 years post-trade and he was the only useful piece returned for a Selke winning Conn Smythe winner. Thompson was their 3rd rated prospect. He could've been had for a lot less than the Sabres gave up for him. The Sabres finished dead spanking last 3 years after they traded ROR away. As great as Thompson will turn out to be the 3 years of trash hockey we were subjected to has to be included in the ledger. I’m not disagreeing the first couple years post trade sucked. I made plenty of posts that were negative regarding TT. All I’m saying is that over time and in the last year and half to two years it’s appears the Sabres won. Agree to disagree.

Pimlach Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 And how about Krebs blasting Slacker Hall, then having to take on Clifton. After the fight he is smiling, shaking his fists as he goes off for repairs. The kid came back and played hard and no one laid a finger on him. You have to get respect in this league. How did Clifton not get the instigator? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really nice to finally have a New Year's Eve where the Sabres are entertaining and relevant (playoffs?) vs. where we've been all these years. Although isn't it Dahlin heaving the long passes 🤔? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While nothing is guaranteed with TNT, he's locked up for an additional 7 years at what looks like a very team friendly contract. Krebs seems to be finding his game too. O'Reilly is a great player and left a big hole when he went to St. Louis. As much as anything I miss his face off abilities. He was one of those vital pieces that got the Blues to make a run from nowhere to get into the playoffs and win the Cup. A wonderful trade for them but the Sabres weren't going anywhere even with O'Reilly on board. As it turned out it looks like it could be a great trade for the Sabres too and a win all around.

triumph_communes Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) ROR won them a cup. They can’t lose the trade. History is just showing the Sabres didn’t actually lose it either. Thompson wasn’t their ‘third best prospect’. We got the best player in the deal, who is also the best player on either team.

North Buffalo Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Bad coaching and GMing made OReilly and Eichel trades necessary.... glad Sabres found a coach... and a GM who are able to mold young players... Sabres were going nowhere no matter who they had with that last batch of imbeciles... so Tomatoe.... whatever just glad they are coming out the other end. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
