So you all realize the streak is still alive 13 games and going on 14 of edge of your seat Hockey... Let's go Buff-a-lo!

yeah jackie boy.... hurt or not your the man

I didn't like seeing Jack look like that on the bench he is hurting and it has to be that check he took from Marleau

Just watching replays on Matthews goal did he close his hand on the puck ? Also did he almost drop it into the net but used his stick to tap it in? Anybody manning the DVR tonight?

This one is for all you stats guys. According to our 10 game streak stats I think we have them right where we want them , behind going into the last period so we can force OT and steal it in OT and end up tied with them when done... Everybody goes home happy because nothing gets decided till the next game. Still have 3 left after this one...

Well I do see we are still 4-5 players( 1 or 2 D and 3 speedy skilled wingers) from being that perennial SC top team...

Fudge,,, there no reason for that late let down...

Put those shots low so maybe a rebound when driving the net....

There we go.... New game....

These guys aren't talking too each other about who is doing what here. its okay you say pass or here or go there with it guys...

Hahaha ,,, Spoken like a true Sabre fan...

Yikes, now we are getting sloppy here, lets get back to puck possession boys. stop the blind no look stuff.

Why are we letting Matthews skate unabated through our zone hit him..

Ok this is turning into a nail biter. Exchanging scoring chances and alternating great and scary plays... Lets' go Buff-a-lo.. We can do this..

That was a great first period. That's the team we saw at the beginning of the streak. Puck possession, shots suppression, more zone time in theirs than ours and finishing checks taking away TO time and Space.... 2 more periods please.

Vindication allowed and successful I would say. So what stocks do you also predict to have this type of growth? ?

Tuesday work nights typically suck eggs. Except when your favorite Hockey team is playing the 2nd of a back to back against a hated division rival. Jack usually elevates his game against his fellow american Austin. We need to keep the game simple and try to dictate play more than chase after it. Let's Go Buffalo! Lets' blow these leaves away.

Ok one more post before I go. Correct we are a young middle of the pack talented team that got a fair amount of puck luck and bounces on the way to a 10 game win streak. We don't have as much talent as the top tier teams(Tampa, TO, Nashville, Colo) but we have enough talent and can compete with the wild card tiered teams (NJ, Montreal, Fla, Phil, Pens, ). None of us expected to win the division at the start of the season, and we are hanging with some top teams even if by the skin of our teeth. For context Tampa spanked NJ in Nj tonight 5-1, Fla and tampa played night after our Fla game and Fla hung with Tampa till the 3rd period which tampa pulled away. We got spoiled by the win streak so we need to see this team for what it is, young, growing, getting better and learning what it takes to play winning hockey. If they can keep games close I am with you HockeyHound, enjoy the ride and not worry so much about the destination. We will see winning hockey again as soon as we are playing the other wild card talented teams and will occasionally if we work hard enough get occasional bounces and puck luck to beat the big boys.. I for one hope that's TO when we are rested and healthy and Boston this year, and then the other middling teams like us Montreal, pens, Philly, NYI, NYR, .....

If my Aunt had balls she would be my Uncle... ?

Well we are seeing how we stack up against the top teams now and we are getting teams best efforts so now we can see what we still need and know what we got.... Good Night fellow SS

Well we are padding the shot stats now

Yeah and he was held and still plowed through the hold to make that shot

Yeah i don't think we should expect too much from the home team tomorrow because TO has been crushing the teams they have played

Looks like the game plan against our young team is take away our time and space and pressure us. Passes are then not tape to tape for our boys and the whole transition and 5 man unit up and down the ice is Shaught... They have 3 days after the game tomorrow to do some regrouping and work on some things...
