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. 

100%. Cautious optimism.

If there was a way to trade Norris I'd do it now if I was the GM. There likely isn't though. 

Or, we wait and see what Norris brings before we decide he's trash.

Exactly. Selling for pennies on the dollar is not a recipe for success.

Being behind the Sabres slaps hard. 😬

lol, this from a fan base that hasn’t sniffed a Cup since 1967.   Not a single conference championship.  No President’s trophies.  

That’s 58 years of futility.

But hey, there’s still Nashville and Calgary.

Sorry, you can't say Sabres are dead last anymore.

 

I bet that's what you'd say the Leafs are.

Went to the game today. I’m used to seeing us get spanked in Raleigh so this was a nice treat. Samuelsson is currently our best defenseman. What a season from him so far. Benson and Zucker really drive this team more than the scoresheet lets on. Lots of good performances today.

Ummm…. Wouldn’t everyone say that?

Just imagine them winning the Mckenna sweeps 🙂
