Exactly what we want to see... growth in the other side of their game...they have been improving defensively and in goal. They are learning how to use their speed without the puck to defend and drive other teams crazy when they are in our end. Winnipeg literally didn't have time to look up after crossing our blueline most of the night they were getting swarmed under by multiple Sabres. If they play like that more often and can be more consistent with their swarming defense in that manner they are going to be extremely difficult to beat.

I mean Tuch grew up as a Sabres fan and he is from Syracuse

Southern Ontario has a lot of Sabre fans...

The best thing is even tho we struggle at times at the end of games, they still haven't lost one in regulation...they have gotten 38 out of the 40 points possible, which is pretty phenomenal for such a young team...they never hang their heads or get down, they just come back out and work.

Joker is a solid player for them...you just don't notice him much but he makes sneaky good plays especially in transition.

Absolutely not on Timo. We are not going to pay him $10 million a year starting next year. So we are going to trade major assets AND pay him $10 million on top of it? No way. We've already seen where doing things like this have gotten us, and it hasn't been good. The rest of it I agree with...their defensive zone play yesterday for most of the game was amazing! Literally as soon as Winnipeg enters the zone they were swarmed and basically couldn't get anything going. They had 14 shots until the final 5 minutes of the game. Just super impressive and even more so because Clague was in for Samuelsson. Major growth in this team...they looked lost on D the first stretch Samuelsson was out.

But they didn't, and they haven't all year. 18-0-2 when leading after 2 this year.

We didn't gain any points on the Caps. They got two points. Pittsburgh still got a point.

Sounds like both are minor and could be back Saturday.

Bad news is that the PIT-WAS game went to a shootout so they both got points...Caps won 3-2

Yes!!

C'mon guys...

How the hell don't you clear that puck??? That was the easiest clear of all time!

No. They are not giving up a bunch of young pieces or first round picks to pay someone $10 million a year starting next year

Rick Bowness looked like he just told someone to order him a few pizzas

Goalofsson with a PP marker!!

WTF was that?? The dude backhand punched him in the face

Whoa...anyone see what happened to Cozens?

Who is this team? Dominating offensively and no room on defense to operate against??

Yes!! No goals against early

The Winnipeg intermission team beat reporter said the Thompson goal looked like an arcade game style goal... Said the Sabres can attack in waves with layers and how impressive it is to watch seemingly harmless plays turn into odd man rushes for them(like the Peterka-Quinn 2 on 1)

Will this be the game...no goal allowed within 2 minutes of starting the third with a 2 goal lead?

The Jets don't even look like they belong on the same ice as the Sabres

What. A. Freaking. Goal!!!! TNT finishes it off...

They are making Winnipeg look silly at times
