I don't know why but every time I watch this I break out laughing, what a play. ROR is the real deal and likely future captain

I thought the defensive zone coverage was the best I've seen it all year most of the game O'Reilly wow, keep watchin him young Samson As for Samson, he seems to get a little better every game lately. His progression continues to impress. Mike Weber for as much as he should be gone yesterday actually played well most of the game, getting hits and playing in their face. I think Ullmark is a shell of what he will be but he was good alot tonight. He just can't move as well as he will when he's fully healed but when will that be? They better sign Kopitar, he's alot of their offense it seems. O'Reilly WOW! Love this guy but I'm goin with the Reinhart jersey. Kane was on fire in the 3rd, I thought he was gonna score

Ferland is a punk

Reinhart v Bennett tonight

What about guys like Fasching, Guhle? Do they even get a sniff at the Sabres lineup in a couple years or are they traded for a more ready prospect?

I don't think we have seen what Kane can actually be yet. He is just entering what is considered his prime years and feeling his way here. Kane also strikes me as a guy who can turn it up in the playoffs as well. When looking for a core group of players I would want guys that work hard every night but also realize that the playoffs are a completely different style of play than the regular season so they will have to have another level of play to strive for. Everything is contested in the playoffs so snarl, attitude, toughness and skill are personified. That being said I see the core 4-6 being Eichel, Reinhart, O'Reilly, Girgensons, Kane and Ristolainen with a possible 7th being a 1st pair LD (draft, free agency?)and the outer core consisting of Pysyk, McCabe, McGinn and someone from Rochester, maybe a couple of em. Bailey/Carrier/Baptiste? If Murray could add a top 6 forward or two and a top pairing defensemen I believe the team could start making noise. Gorges, Legwand and Gionta are good guys to have around while the youngsters adjust and develop but they will be long gone before they reach the second or third round.

Good hand eye

Whenever I watch Duff and May all I can see is Mays giant mitt holdin the microphone. Geez that thing takes up half the television lol

Wow, what a dirty ass trip by Nurse on Reinhart with 2 mins left. Stupid

I thought the Sabres had trouble with the Oilers pressure most if the first 30 minutes and it cost them some goals. Reinhart, love the kid, he had some uncharacteristic give aways early on but he adjusted and played stronger after that. Hall WTF? Let's Go Boys. Get the next 2 on this trip!!!!

Reasonable contract, veteran with some snarl to his game. Idk, maybe it's more of a dream, wait, was I dreaming?

I agree Weber isn't worth much on his own but as an add on to become some teams 6/7 I could see it

Just pure speculation on my part but could the team be allowing Weber and Ennis to heal so that they can be traded and pass a physical for their new team? Webers condition was an ongoing issue he just decided to finally go in and have it cleaned up I read? Thoughts?

IMO Risto picked up some bad habits being mentored by Ehrhoff his rookie year. He's progressing nicely but still has room to grow both offensively and defensively. Not bad for 21, carry on young fin.

Of all the players on Detroit he just flashed to me. As far as the Sabres go, yeah the speed, youth, talent...a guy could get used to this

Helm is a dangerous player, his speed wreaks havoc

Helm is a dangerous player

Speed

What a game

Eichellllll ohh

Minions

It seems like Detroit creates more odd man situations than most teams. They're pretty smooth

Cmon trachea
