Hey @PASabreFan:  Bite me 🙂 

Have a good night.

 

 

I'm more of an Italian sausage man. Right, 11?

Fun game.

Someone tell Lyon to NEVER PLAY THE PUCK. It’s a complete shitshow every time he does. I think it cost him a goal, as well a few games ago. Just stay in net.

[PASabreFan]

FTR while Doohickie was focused on childish word play, I was calling the victory.

I shall sleep soundly tonite.

[GASabresIUFAN]

I’d bring up and play Rosen.  He’s earned an opportunity. I also don’t want Geertsen in the lineup.

Gotta collect these points now. We’re catching a lot of these teams without their top players. They are going to get healthy and get their ***** together. The rematches are going to be much more difficult. Luckily, not tomorrow.😂

Screw you Leaves.

[Stads]

Officially 3rd in the division

Kulich McLeod Östlund Krebs is the centre spine tomorrow

I was not impressed with Östlund in the Toronto game.  He was not physical enough.  Hope he steps up more tomorrow.

Ruff mentioned they want to get a practice in for UPL before playing him, I think it’s Ellis in net tomorrow 

Actually it sounds like UPL is making his season debut. 

 

And William Nylander was hurt in the third and did not return.

When will people realize fans can do whatever they want b.c they don't actually play the games... they watch for ENTERTAINMENT.

The hockey gods will now award the Leafs a 5-1 W for that remark. UNLESS!! Someone on a Toronto forum is equally oblivious to hockey-lore.

The Sabres are doing something they haven’t done in years - they’re making me want to watch more of them.

Quiet, you doddering old fool.

Anyone who wants my take on tomorrow's game can PM me for cash apps I use.

Now dog up the post where you predicted two goals for Samuelsson. That one was way more impressive.

Would be perfectly fine w/ UPL watching tonight's game from the bench.

Not thrilled with the possibility he'll watch from between the pipes.

Let him have Tuesday's game if you feel you must.

That would be the best plan, imo

TO fans oblivious to hockey history?

That'd NEEEVVVVER happen.  😉

I had to catch up last night. (It's high school football season.) We are still making mistakes but, unlike before, we come back and make plays to fix them.

What a stupid, frustrating penalty to take at this time of the game.

Because it was an Espn game I could go back and look what went wrong here. The Sabres were changing and Dahlin instead of staying behind the net and working with whomever would be coming on he pushed up the side wall. Two Leafs were in the zone and started to come at him. Two more were on his side of the ice in the neutral zone. Having no apparent outlet he does the flip. Lindy always want's them to rush out of the zone. Not sure if that's the excuse but certainly there was better play to be made from the get go. Dahlin does flip the puck way more than he should.

I have to give Lindy, the coaching and players a great deal of credit.  After the first three horrific games, this season was close to being over before it started.  However they put a much better effort against Ottawa, started going to the net and got rewarded.  Now 4-4.  The PK looks like the PK in 2005-6 where they are aggressive and completely taking the time away.  They are also finally protecting their goalie’s crease.  Real progress.  Good things happen when you field a team of NHL players.

Now they need to play even harder tomorrow against a desperate Leafs team and get over 500.  A win tomorrow should make their confidence soar.  
 

Hope Kozak is ok.  He makes a huge difference defensively.  

Started 0-3 last year too, but it was a totally different vibe.  They were playing well, but just getting OK GTing and taking badly timed penalties.

This time they were playing awful hockey in front of excellent GTing.

Getting better effort starting in game 4 plus putting 3 guys that will buzz the net on the PP that game too while still getting the GTing have resulted in them looking night & day better.

Expect they can keep up the effort.  No data on if the GTing can stay great.  If they can, well the division is very middling.  

Tonight would be a great night to get the 1st road win.  REALLY hope Ellis gets the start.
