GDT Columbus at Buffalo 9/23/25 7 pm Streaming Sabres.com, WGR 550

[Taro T]

Thompson from Benson(?)

1-1 w/ 2 to go in the 2nd.

[K-9]

Benny with a beautiful dime to Tage.

[LGR4GM]

How's that for chemistry Martin! HOW'S THAT.

[dudacek]

Listening to the Columbus radio feed “that was only a matter of time,”

Sure sound like it’s been all Sabres

[Brawndo]

Just a guess, but I do not think Benson is going to be out of place on that line

He's their most natural playmaker. Shooters just need to find seams and he'll find them.

So the Sabres have pi x 100 fans?  

For a preseason game, that live in the area and didn't care enough to buy $10 tix, that actually want to watch the game on a Tuesday?  Well, it's slightly hyperbolic, but not by much.

Yep. Better question for Marty might be do Tage and Norris have enough skill to play with Benson.

BJs had 2 shots in the 2nd; both on the PP.  Sabres now have 26 shots for the game through 2.  And they've had at minimum 6 high danger chances this period.  So, yeah, kind of inevitable.

[Mr Peabody]

Another very solid 2nd period. 

[LGR4GM]

Benson: hey Marty, do you like apples? 

Biron: Of course! I love apples. 

Benson: While I just got an assist, how you like them apples!

Thompson looks like the best player on the ice tonight, IMO 

[Jorcus]

Why is Thompson on th PK? Do they want him to break his hand before the season starts?

[LGR4GM]

The drop pass needs to die 

[LGR4GM]

Same stupidity on the pp. One guy in front, no movement for anyone else. Ripping shots from the perimeter. 

[Brawndo]

ZUCKER

[K-9]

We are gonna like Helenious.

[LGR4GM]

Helenius just casually being a badass.

[Taro T]

Far wall to Helenius across the crease to Zucker.  Sabres up 2 - 1.

[erickompositör72]

So has Helenius made the team yet?!

No.

Not sure.  But he has the inside track to be the 1st skill F brought up when injuries or a need to shake things up strikes.

[bob_sauve28]

Nice, hope this is what we see in regular season

Helanius, how ever you spell his name, should have Quinn nervous 

[Sabres73]

Sabres dominating in faceoffs tonight 32-14 so far. Out-shooting, out-hitting. It's the power play that needs work.
