Not sure what filters you used, but in UPL’s 5 games prior to tonight his save % was .881. Until tonight he had had only one game of the 5 with a save % over .9. In 3 of the starts his save % was a terrible .875 or less. Tonight was his best performance by far. Lyon has had an over .900 save % in 7 of his 12 starts. He did get shelled in Col. Frankly, I don’t trust any of the 3 to give the team quality consistent goaltending.

8 of the team's next 10 games are on the road, including 6 straight 5 of 6 out West. If they can win 5 of the 8 road games, then I'll have some hope for this team.

I just re-watched the disallowed goal in the 1st. Benson’s skate hits the goalie, but it’s a Carolina player’s skate that actually impedes Anderson. It was a terrible call. The “situation room” should have reviewed the play like they did on the Thompson play without the Sabres wasting a challenge.

Power vs Ristolainen - 1st 3 full seasons A - 23g - 83a - 106 pts B - 17g - 91a - 108 pts Who is who?

So you’re saying going 1-5-2 on the road isn’t good enough?

Yes, Virginia that’s how you and the team should be playing every night.

lol, this from a fan base that hasn’t sniffed a Cup since 1967. Not a single conference championship. No President’s trophies. That’s 58 years of futility.

That this how the Sabres should play every game. I really like Timmins. He reminds me every game recently of Toni Lydman (fixed).

Bye! We hardly knew you!

Should Norris give no. 9 back to Benson? He isn’t using it.

Is it just me, but is anyone else enjoying watching for gold-digger Hall playing with Sabre castoffs Robinson and Jankowski in a deep depth role? Great play and goal by Malenstyn. A career highlight he’ll be showing his grandkids someday. I’m not sure who the color analyst is on this game, but I love that Quinn scored right after he said that Anderson is playing great in the 2nd. Timing is everything in life.

I’m happy they won, but one game’s worth of effort doesn’t erase the 10 games of little effort that has this team at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Until they put forth that kind of effort night in and night out we aren’t going to see real progress.

The Sabres are still 6 games under real 500 and have the worst winning % in the East at .476 They have to climb over 8 other teams to reach a playoff spot. Yeah we beat the hell out of Chicago. That in no ways makes up for losses to Stl and Calg. This team still stinks. Seriously why do they have to sink so low to get the motivation to play hard?

There can be no accountability in this organization. Players getting traded probably feel like they have been paroled from prison. Coaches and GMs have been held accountable by being fired over and over again. The real problem is the owner has no idea how to hire the right person to run the Sabres. The two things he hasn’t done is hire an experienced president of hockey ops and an experienced GM. Until Pegula does those two things and give them full control the Sabres are forever going to at the bottom of the standings.

They cut Geertsen, what more do you want?
