K-9 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Marty just made a great point by saying the Sabres actually played their best when they got down 5-4. I thought so, too. Love the comeback OT wins, but I could stand protecting a two goal lead and winning in regulation for a while. Shades of the Kardiac Kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Dahlin with 29:25 and Power with 28:53 tonight. Our defense is going to be so good in 3 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted January 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 12 minutes ago, Weave said: Very impressive win.  In my head, may be the most impressive win so far this season. WTF was Minny’s coach thinking pitting Reaves out with Dahlin on the ice late in the game?  Bet he wants that decision back. But I was told that Reaves is tough and helps you win hockey games. 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great we have a few workhorses out there, but man, we have a ton of hockey coming up on a compressed schedule and that kind of grind is a little concerning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Fleury pulled out one of his best games. He had no choice. Nearly any other goalie tonight and Minnesota would have lost this game in the second. Swap my fanny but I am happy to give Mitts a lot of credit this game. He looked good. Actually, between both teams, we got a lot of players' A-game. Kind of weird, but I guess we have to expect that now since they all know we can score and our goalies can keep us in games. Can't wait to see them live! Edited January 8, 2023 by ... 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Watching the MN postgame and their coach Dean Evason was mystified by the penalty call when Dahlin's helmet was ripped off.  I think he needs to watch the replay. He also said that they knew coming in they couldn't win a "track meet" with the Sabres and he was right.++++++++++++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that long go when the Sabres got down there was an almost visible deflation. In hockey, as there is in most pro sports, there is an ebb and flow. But even when the tide is turning against them, this team keeps playing its fast paced and north/south game. The talent on this team has clearly increased. But what is evident is that this is a character team with multiple leaders that keep this team together when it is facing adversity. 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how this team needs to play, and that is what the opposition is trying to take away. What's great about this style of play is that it is entertaining and exciting to watch. Compare this Granato style of play to the troglodyte style of play that Krueger promoted? There was the obvious tribute to Hamlin that made this crowd revved up. But what kept them aroused throughout the game was the pace and quality of play. What a difference a coach makes! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
