Big Guava Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Well...the Sabres have more home wins already than they did last year when they had one of the worst home records in the NHL... 18-18-1 this year, so basically slightly under .500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowd was solid tonight, players felt it. Before gwg sabres were buzzing, and crowd were right there behind them. Good game. Nice home W vs a team more desperate than them.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Super Fan Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Good Buffalo Sabres come back win over the New Jersey Devils. Tage Thompson and Devon Levi had good games tonight in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Gotta love Dan saying that the 2-1 Thompson goal got the Sabres back in the game and Rob saying after the same goal that it was a brand new hockey game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverPowerYou Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Surprised to see a 75% capacity tonight (that’s good considering how bad we are)  was it due to it being Friday night and New Jersey has quite a bit of fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Two teams that basically play the same game and are just about the same. Sabres had more jump after a slow start so they came out on top. Woohoo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#freejame Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 5-2 come from behind win while still not technically eliminated from the playoffs and it’s an 11 page thread. Terry has killed this fan base. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry has killed this fan base. They really didn't play that well, other then Levi, for half the game. In fact it looked like the Devils started to give up after Tage scored his first. Levi's 2 goals given up were the pinball-seeing-eye-puck-luck variety, while Allen got beat clean by Tage twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I care about is how the players played. And especially for Tuch who played well in this game. That's all I ask. My main problem with this "stick-salute" is that it is overused and has become meaningless. There are plenty of valid things about this team and players to criticize. At least for me, this isn't a worthy issue to be bothered about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Dan's having a season where he either realizes he's there for life, like Rick, or knows he's getting fired. I will never understand his methods, but he might just be the perfect voice for this group. Pretty good when he wants to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started calling high school hockey 8 years ago and I still struggle with remembering player names while self-editing the action on the fly. RJ lost his edge the final few years. We were just more forgiving because it was RJ. 2 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: I love a good coordinating Levi. Autocorrect stickers agnes.

Goes to character and team mentality. Assuming that the players in question didn't raise their sticks after a game because they believed their coach was unfairly criticized, my response again is what's the big deal? Are they not allowed to have their own thoughts and express them? You don't think that players sometimes get peeved with media and fan responses? You may reasonably disagree with their stance but why are they not entitled to not participate in a meaningless postgame gesture (due to over-use).  You may think that this is a worthy issue but I don't. It's a trivial and distracting issue that has absolutely nothing to do with play. In this game, Tuch was one of our best performers. And in general, he consistently plays hard. And Greenwood's season-long play has been solid. That's where my focus in on. This has been a disappointing season. My attention is on the play and not some half-hearted stick salute that most of the player do after a game.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
