Wilson just destroyed the Habs playoff will be a whole different animal for us, if we ever get there

That had to be the longest 2nd period I ever remember. Even before the fight it was really dragging. Syracuse plays a very trappy game and the Amerks were having a lot of trouble with it. Once Kulich blasted home the Power play goal The Crunch had to open up a bit and the Amerks had more ice to work with. To the Amerks credit even though they gave up a lot of shots few were high danger and it's not like either team was giving up breakaways. Levi was good not to give up any soft ones. Crunch had one open net post hit when the got behind Levi but that was it. Amerks needed to clean up own zone exits and offensive zone entries. Took too many off side plays. Still they can skate circles around the Crunch when they can avoid the checks. Hope they keep rolling.

Tom Wilson wrecking kids out there.

He doesn’t want to fire someone under contract and then have to pay them plus a replacement.

Habs really playing well tonight. No reason the Sabres can’t do this. We deserve better Terry.

Sabres have no idea how physical the playoffs are because they havent been there... Ottawa doesnt either and were smacked the first two games but kinda figured it out... Young Sabres really need the experience even if they lose in first round

We all know TP and GMKA have their heads up their a$$e$, but if they just watched even a game or two of these playoffs, how can they not understand this team isn’t remotely close to being built for the playoffs? Unfortunately, I am feeling more convinced that they don’t want to build a team capable of succeeding in the playoffs….but rather a team of soft players who lacks guts and physicality.

Incredible story on Habs goalie Dobes.

The family had a blast. It was a weird game….it took three hours and ended in regulation. The KO from the fight, two pucks on the ice at one time at one point, a Cuse fan got booted by security in front of me, a lady took a puck to the face that stopped the game, etc. Let’s sweep the gross Crunch. I’ll be driving to Cuse for game three on Thursday.

Quenneville has been offered the Ducks coaching position. A Lot of baggage there. Wonder if he accepts it.

Personally, expect much as others here have said that Pegula was busy paying attention to the Bills the past week or 2. Now that the NFL draft is past, am hoping that we see some changes in the Sabres FO and coaching ranks. (Because the coaching is pretty rank.)

Definitely, they really tighten up on D in the playoffs. But before Weiss and the other one went down, they were playing RS as tightly as they do in the playoffs. And they were seriously rolling. Bringing in Matisse (sp?) and Ron John didn't really get them back to form until Weiss came back and then he reinjured his leg down the stretch but is back again. But will say, after watching them down the stretch, didn't expect them to play as well as they did Friday night. If anyone has ESPN+ but didn't watch that game, they should do themselves a favor and watch it. It was a very physical game and must've been a lot of fun to be in the barn watching. Vinc looked years younger than he actually is, but the D were making his job pretty routine. Shots directed to a corner of the net were soaked routinely by a defender and then the Bandits grabbed the loose balls.

Islanders

I wonder if they were as unimpressive as last game.😛

35 saves on 35 shots. Bravo, Levi!

3 stars: 3) Kulich 2) Clague 1) Levi, 35 saves. 🧱

Levi shutout win. 4-0. Next game Thursday in Syracuse.

Hopefully Chris Cloutier is back for them this week...he plays an important role on offense for them. Their D is typically just different in the playoffs...it's hard for other teams to get clean looks on goal...last year was the same thing.

Syracuse pulls the goalie with 6:47 to go He's back in. Back out Rosen ENG. 4-0. 4:50 left

It was late but agree they let them go every game... hit on Barkov a little late too and yet they let them go too... meh neither hit that bad but since they called one felt they had to call the other...

Refs letting stuff go.

Clague makes it 3-0 in 3P. 14 minutes to go.
