Ok, the team is playing better and confidence is building. They have an opportunity to gain points on the dreaded Maple Leaves. Ellis should be starting again, he earned it. UPL had the shortest conditioning assignment in the NHL. Who gets the net? I would love to see the first line collect a bunch of goals and the Sabres run away with it. Instead goaltending will probably decide tonight’s game.

I was not impressed with Östlund in the Toronto game. He was not physical enough. Hope he steps up more tomorrow.

Benson gets penalties because he is involved. He also draws penalties.

I think Ellis should have this upcoming game. He earned it. UPL had one game in Rochester. I don’t think that’s enough. Not good. Kozak is playing good hockey.

Fair. I think the Sabres are getting good. The biggest unknown is who will be the goaltender supporting Lyon. Next is Kesselring. What will he bring, and can it help Power to take off? That will be fun to see.

So. Are the Sabres getting good? The Sabres deserved to win that game. They played a good game but they can step it up. The Leaves did not see full gear. We can beat them again. The big question is who plays in net tomorrow? It’s exciting hockey.

Nice win. Beating Toronto and setting the tone for tomorrow. Big win. Great to see Tage and Tuch score big goals. Muel had a career game and it feels good to say that.

Lyon is roaring.

Tuch with a shorty.

Ugh. Ok PK. Get it done.

Kesselring in. Metsa out.

Judging Tuchs play only by his goals and assists is a mistake. He does a lot right.

Damm. It was pretty loud in that rink for the leaves goal. Come on Sabres Bring your fans into it.

Who remembers the days when if you have a lead in the last minute of play in a period or game - it was Luce and Ramsey time. ? I can’t wait until the day I can plug two more names in there. Kozak is a guy that might fill the bill. Go Sabres. Just play a clean 3d period. Do not go Alamo. Go after them. Control the neutral zone, wait for Toronto to press and bury them.

I think Dahlin made big save

Muel is now a weapon.

Sabres need to get the next goal. Let’s get going boys. Take the step. Oh damm. Kozak out.

Tage finally breaks the seal.

ESPN guy is loving up Byram. Rough shift for Timmins. He got destroyed and he is lost.

Benson has his first game without the bubble mask and he is getting scrappy.

Yeah. Metsa is a good player, a smart player, but not an NHL player. He deserved a look and for the most part has been ok so far.

The should have tried the 2nd power play for the last 50 seconds. The first group didn’t hit the net.

The PP was too much perimeter and none of the shots got to the net. very dissatisfied with that.
