Awesome but I really, really hope this doesn't continue or he'll have nothing left in the playoffs

My take as well

Went both ways

Will go and read through the thread after this - - - Unsurprising we were able to take it to the Pens and their tired legs once the third rolled around. Good to see they recognized this and seemed to capitalize on it with relative ease in the third. It did seem inevitable. Dahlin and Thompson will be battling for the points lead all year. Dahlin moves ahead, again, for today. Skinner an interesting challenger for the assist total. Cozens' offensive ceiling might be limited. Thompson's is not. They are empty net fiends definitely Good W overall. Getting to the point where they win the games they should. Very good sign.

Skinner now has more assists (8) this season as he had in 53 games under Ralph Krueger in 2020-21 don't call it a comeback

Hedman could be in an Avengers movie

One goal down going into third against a team on a back to back? We should be ok

Uniforms actually look pretty messy. Not really a fan of the whole jumble. I expect the true 3rds to be amazing though, don’t see how they can mess those up. - - - Pens on a back to back, no reason we can’t come up with a W in this one. Would love to engage in thread during game but as mentioned, that’s not possible for those without the game on tv due to the instant score updates - will prob check in after. Go Sabres, keep on rollin’

Playoff has an “L” in it: - - - Only Enzo has playoff sauce

Such a good point. I’ve totally felt this - being a fan isn’t just a mindset, it’s also muscle memory. It’’s a relationship. Of course there are rocky times. Personally there have been moments over the last decade, especially over the more recent years of that stretch, where I’ve had to work *really* hard on trying to keep that fire. The loyalty has always, will always be there. I’ll always love them. But the PASSION, of course it’s ebbs. Any relationship. But it also flows. I’m still working on my relationship with this team, as always, but it’s sure getting easier. And soon, through practice and hard work, the muscle memory will return, too. Trust the process. We are allowing that mindset to the team, correct? Why not da fans.

The Yotes are playing on a renovated table hockey surface. Sabres aren’t going to relocate in your lifetime At the very least not in Bettman’s

And? I quoted someone else’s post, pointing out that Reinhart commonly starts slow. You, for reasons best known to yourself, quoted my post with stats I can only assume you incorrectly interpreted to mean my point wasn’t correct (and it assuredly was). Another poster who for reasons best known to himself has an issue with me, took the chance to use your misreading of the numbers to call what I said a “narrative”, ridiculously. Far from being a narrative, what I posted was simply the statistical truth. This inability to understand how math works isn’t really my problem. You can’t salvage your initial incorrectness by starting an argument I had no intention of having, sorry. I don’t care if Reinhart’s production in last year’s playoffs, a small sample size to boot, went down. It’s immaterial to what I was saying. Next.

Reinz ketchup bottle drips the runny stuff no one wants over the early games, with the payoff being the substantial flow that cascades over the rest

Hard agree. There is also not a Sabres post on Twitter this lady doesn’t comment on. Which is fine, but at least half are in line with the above drivel

Makes sense. He specifically mentioned a lot of Ventura guys go that route

Reinhart 379 career points in 541 games 39 October points 83 October games 340 non-October points 458 non October games 39 points per 82 in October 61 points per 82 everywhere else Never let math get in the way of another awful post

Checks out. Slow starter, save apparently last season Sorry, what?

Gabe Vilardi has *8* goals

I lean towards value so considering our D depth, OUR rookie of the year will be Power, id imagine, prob by a fairly significant margin His play early has done nothing to change my mind on the likelihood of that

Seems to be his MO Seems to almost always start slow

He could have been had LT when Adams first came on, Reinhart said as much. The working theory though is that, by summer 2021, Reinhart made it known he was done

Didn’t someone say Power would be our best D coming into this season? Checks notes. I think it’s still Dahlin. Also, Dahlin had a phenomenal rookie year, advanced metrics or otherwise. Seems to be some lingering confusion

Nice like Sam Reinhart, maybe
