Many comments about the condition of the ice during the game. Might the pre-game ceremony for Thornton have had something to do with it?

Which begs the additional question: Who decided to name an award in such a macho sport the Lady Byng Trophy??

If my abacus is working correctly the Sabres allowed 4 goals on the 3-game road trip. That’s impressive.

I love watching snow games! ** ** As long as its from the warmth and comfort of my couch.

Both of their QB's made boneheaded decisions in crunch time yesterday. Wilson threw a pass into the end zone that looked like a throwaway when released. Except it wasn't. Wilson floated the ball into the end zone and it was easily picked. Then later, Fields was in for a designed QB run play to convert a critical third down. Went around left end and slid a half yard short of the marker. I believe he thought his 'yards while sliding' counted. Steelers looked really good yesterday. Very physical. TJ Watt is probably the best defensive player in the NFL. But they still have remaining 2 games against the Bengals, and one each against the Ravens, Eagles and KC. To your point Inky, Wilson will need to play the mistake-free game manager role to run the table and I don't believe he's capable of doing so.

Some random thoughts after the game: Shakir is a stud and is absolutely Josh's security blanket Aaron Kromer does not get enough credit for the job he's done with the OL My goodness, if this team can be healthy going into the playoffs I like their chances. Getting Milano back will be huge, if even on a pitch count for his first few games. (Replacing Williams on obvious passing downs probably). Wouldn't be surprised at all to hear in the coming few days that Micah Hyde has been signed for the remainder of the season. Josh's body may well be very near its physical peak but his brain for the game will continue to develop for another five years. It will be a sight to behold as a fan. My initial reaction when Bernard made the interception was that it's 4th down. He should have just knocked the ball down. But given the circumstances it made no difference. I'm sure the pick was much more impactful (and joyous) for those in the stadium. And it will leave an impression on the OC's the Bills will face going forward this year. Just one more thing for them to worry about. Really excited about the win. Go Bills!!

I’m a Sabres fan Elliott. What’s the floor? That’s the only relevant number.

How anyone who has watched the Sabres power play this season NOT endorse what the Sabres did at the end there is beyond me.

OMG. 56?? Awful. May his family find peace in due time.

Never underestimate the power of an NFL officiating crew.

Yep. Blocked Denver’s chip-shot GW FG.

Chiefs have an enormous horshoe stuck up there *****. In-frickin- believable.

It’s always an ‘interesting’ road there, isn’t it??

Failing badly. He may light the Bills up for 250 today. Let’s hope they adjust.

But @LGR4GM, isn’t analyzing a particular game what game day threads are all about? Overdone? Certainly can be. Agree totally with the rest. I think the Sabres will take care of business Monday night.

Just what about my post do you think was crap? Do you think the Sabres played well over the last two periods? That’s what the conversation was about. Nothing more. And yes, no team brings their A-game every night or every period even. That’s the NHL. Never suggested otherwise. But it’s not off limits to point out when the Sabres revert to the poor play that’s plagued this franchise for more than a decade. I am delighted they won. And I think the team is figuring it out and getting better.

I really hope this game doesn’t come down to our WR’s having to make a play. Did I do that right @Night Train? Hey, it worked last week. Keep that gif cued up and ready to go. Go Bills. Looking for the 3-straight-wins holiday weekend for Buffalo sports fans!

What does 6 goals in the last 12 periods have anything to do with how the Sabres played the last two periods this afternoon? They played like ass for a good part of those 40 minutes. I made the comment to my wife a couple minutes into the 3rd that it appears the ‘bad Sabres’ came out of the locker room. UPL saved their bacon. And if playing games every other day is an excuse for not bringing their A game then it’s going to be another very long season. And yes, it was good to see them win another.

BS&T: Underrated horns.

No Flame wanted to get down and block that slapper?

I don’t think Bryson is a top-4 D by any stretch but doesn’t Power seem to be playing better with Bryson as his partner?

I was thinking the other night during the Rangers game that I can’t wait to watch Benson as a fully grown 24 year old. Then I realized I’ll have to wait 5 more years.

I generally like Mule. But I hope Lindy keeps Mule in the press box until it’s painful for him to be there. Then keep him there a couple more games. If Mule doesn’t come out of it being what the Sabres need him to be then moving him shouldn’t be out of the question.
