Can anyone make sense of beating the 3 good to great teams and losing to the bad one?

Why does Benson not get an assist on Tage goal?  I’ll have to check replays 

They awarded it after the game.

He might. Often times on the official scoresheet and NHL.com, they list goals as 'unassisted' for a few minutes before adding the assists.

Its like they want to get the goal scorer up as soon as possible, and iron out the details a few minutes later.

Benny did indeed get his assist on the empty netter by Tage.

That this how the Sabres should play every game.  I really like Timmins.  He reminds me every game recently of Toni Tydman.

I think its Loni Lydman.

I'm still trying to make sense of the Bills game in Miami (and Houston).

Perfect time to trade UPL!

Since he was activated, UPL has been the Sabres best goalie.

Big game Wed against Pittsburgh.  For me personally, growing up I always looked forward to any games the day before Thanksgiving or the games on New years eve.

The Wed before Thanksgiving, it was a long weekend from school (now sometimes a long-ish weekend from work), that a win that night just 'feels' better than most other nights.

I feel like we play Pittsburgh a lot near Thanksgiving and we do not fare well. 
 

too lazy to look it up though.

This one was more meaningful to me than the Chicago game. A couple more and I might start to believe. Cautious optimism. 

Zucker has made a big difference. The lines look more balanced now. 

If Norris ever comes back Östlund goes back down. Kesselring for Bryson, there's your full team. No idea what the goalie plan is as always but UPL made some good stops today. I'd be happy to never see Greenway again tbh. 

I don't know what happened to Samuelsson over the summer - maybe his dad told him he was a disgrace to the family name - but he's not the same player at all. He finally looks like the solid defender we wanted/expected and is kind of giving us what a lot of us hoped Kesselring would bring after the trade. In any event his play has changed things a lot. 

The biggest impacts on this team over last year are Doan being able to play top 6, Kozak being solid bottom 6, and most of all Samuelsson being solid. 

Refs were far too involved in this game and the Benson no goal was bs but there are tons of these every season, or even every week. It's just garbage but it is what it is and they overcame it so whatever. 

I've seen Carolina play better than that but all the same Sabres beat them today plain and simple. They were the better team. Now we see how long this lasts.
