GMKA in the old days would have a 5x$5.5m contract ready for Ellis after this game.

KA should NEVER be a part of any GM duties (and should never have been to begin with).

Think back to how we were down 4-1 to Red Wings last game! Wow, what a turn around

Any questions on Ellis after this 6v5 so far?

Yes, why is UPL still on the roster

You can come out now.  Crushed 'em.

[HumanSlinky39]

That is the best game I've seen then play in a long time and I continue to be impressed with Ellis 

Let's keep it rollin', on to the next one.

All humor aside, a full 60 minute game from our boys with a netminder that’s had a great game.

I’d love to see them carry this play forward and continue to build more confidence. Great game.

It's good to have faith in your goalie. And to have your 1D back in the lineup.

Since Ruff tore them all a new 1 in that detroit game they've been playing with a fire in them, solid all around game and Östlund is really looking like a solid 2 way player out there in his young start to his career.

Excellent effort. What a breath of fresh air.  Just stack wins.

[SABRES 0311]

Good for Ellis. Bad for UPL.

Great game.   

This has to be the standard moving forward.

Not sure who you take out of the lineup when Zucker, Benson and Norris come back.

[Goldseatsaud]

Deal UPL

[Spoonman]

I put win on Lindy & players.
 

Trade UPL & KA on AMAZON PRIME - now! 

Bring Megan Chayka or Shayna Goldman in as President of Hockey Operations & let Kiko run as interim GM. 

KA is SABRES kryptonite. 

 

[bob_sauve28]

Since falling behind to Detroit 4-1 last game the Sabres have outscored opponents 9-1 

[Flashsabre]

Great Win

Really nice game from Ellis

Östlund, Kozak and Rosen need to be in the lineup moving forward.

This team is so frustrating. If they could play like this with Norris, Zucker and eventually Benson coming back they could be right in the mix.

I would ride Lyon-Ellis. I’ve seen enough of UPL.

……throw in KA & a years worth of pucks & smelling salts. 
 

Take future considerations.

Tell me what to think! I don't know how to feel. Is this a good team when healthy? Did this mole change colors from the last time I checked? Will I leave my wife for Colten Ellis? I'm so confused!

I think putting him on the fourth line was a good move.  Focus on the two-way game.  Oh and while you're out there, see if you can score a couple.

And really that was probably the most consistently dominant line all night.

My comparable for Östlund has always been Aho. Same style of player. If Östlund one day gets anywhere close to Aho then they have a hell of a player on their hands.
