I think someone up thread already said it, but the Östlund goal was filthy.

They have to play Ellis more. The team plays for him, even when they're playing crappy.

Watching/listening to his post game interview and his vibes are the anti UPL 

He's upbeat, humble, and has a sense o' humor 

THAT'S the kind of player that other's tend to play harder for 

Plus, it was a mildly dirty deed in poaching his a$$ from StL 

He should ABSOLUTELY be the main man in net IMO 

Punt UPL to his future destination (his pouty disposition is reason enough to keep him away from a culture-building project) IDC who #2 is, so long as Mega Meh isn't 

[HumanSlinky39]

Nice win against a hot team. Yeah, they were on the back end of a back-to-back, but so were we. More efforts like that and more Ellis in net. On to the next one...

FACTOID:  The Buffalo Sabres have not lost a game this season when Beck Malenstyn scores a goal.

This team ... I swear. So wildly inconsistent. Lose to Calgary and St. Louis ... beat Carolina and Minnesota. This is an abusive relationship, I swear.

It really wasn’t. If it wasn’t for Zuccarello, this would have been a loss in regulation

I mean 

As often as our boys are the victims of the other side of plays like these, it's good to feel what it's like to be the beneficiary of one 

So, we'll take it AND take cred for it 😃

JUST WIN, BABY!!!!

I think the first step is just ripping the band-aid off and trading UPL. Go with Lyon and Ellis for the rest of the season.

Who's trading for him and how much salary do we have to retain?

Not sure TP would give the approval...?

[quill]

A star is born? Or two? What a nice win. 

I love watching Ellis in goal with the way he will move every limb of his body to fight off a goal. I think he is the quickest of our goalies when it comes to how fast he recovers from the initial shot to get back in position to make a follow-up stop. He's quick like a cat.

Trolling with the Sabres official goal song 😃

You nailed it.

I don't want another top-pick savior. I want a GM/HC combination that the league and current roster respect.

I don't think he is a saviour but he would be a much needed jolt of skill that this team dearly needs 

[JohninMinn.]

The Doan rebuild is back on track.

There it is. No team is taking that player with that salary. At this point, the sabres would have to give up 1st to get someone to MAYBE bite

It was fun just sitting here for the past year+ watching all the folks on Sabrespace yelling about Rosen and Östlund being "busts" and how they should be traded for anything they could get ... they are decent players and unless they missed out on a chance to bring in Mackinnon or McDavid by hanging on to them, I would say the organization is better off for having them around.

Rosen should be around right now

I initially thought that there was no way that was correct. Then I rewatched it. Wow.

The Sabres still had chances.

And they won.😂

They cut one of the Shootout takers ? Wasn't Östlund the 4th shooter?

who did they cut out ?

I predicted a win before the game and you can book another win vs the Jets on Monday.

Ellis was excellent for those quick to criticize his first period.  
 

Good road outing.  2 points were acquire.  Keep it going.  

I like him also. 
 

Trade UPL

Go with Lyon / Ellis

There were a few saves tonight where he looked like Charlie Brown on the pitcher's mound when a hit comes zooming through:  All limbs, everywhere at once.  And yet in a split second he's in place for the next shot.  His utter commitment to the save is second among Sabres goalies only to Dominik Hasek.

His time is at hand.  We know he'll be back. 

I kind of like our pipeline; the players on the edge like Östlund and Rosén are mature prospects, ready to graduate to NHL play.  There are others behind them that will be ready soon. 

The Sabres also have AHL vets that are creditable tweeners who can fill depth roles should injuries demand (Johnson, Metsa, Dunne), who don't hurt you too bad when pressed into service.

Jacob Bryson will never be a top 6 D, but at this point he's fine as a 7D.  He's played most of the Sabres games this year and has a +/- of -1 which isn't awful.  It feels like he's taken a positive step over the last year or so.  He feels more NHL vet and not so much a tweener trying to hang on.

It feels less like rushing the young talent up too quickly and ruining them, and more like timely development.
