Boys are buzzing tonight

Boom Zucker Great feed Quinn

Boom Doan Sweet

Agree 100%.

My guess his game day back issue reported after morning practice that forced back up UPL into action that night in mid November was enough for Ruff to consider Lyon unreliable. Or, could be he is still recovering from his back issue. UPL has a stellar record against the Black Hawks. Think this is why he is starting tonight. Has nothing to do with Lyon necessarily.

Playing three in a row was a test of Ellis. Mixed performance against a weak but highly motivated opponent, and playing behind an uncommitted group of poorly coached and undisciplined players. Call it an Incomplete Grade.

Ruff, the Captain and Assistants didn’t respect the Flames, the fans, or themselves.

We came out flat and the Flames came out flying to start the game and to start the final period. That’s both coaching and lack of player determination. The Flames wanted it more than we did. Confounding until you realize the team quit in the final minutes. It can only get worse after it sinks in this will be another year of no post season play and it’s not even Thanksgiving.

Then again, UPL has one clean OT and 5 frame shoot out win. Ellis can’t say the same.

I missed the game. Watched the replay. Best 60 minutes I’ve seen the Sabres play this season, start to finish. No let up in the final period. Took the Oilers out of any chance of coming back. Ellis was supported by great D and made big saves when challenged. Easy to see the team has confidence in him. He earned the next start. Let’s see if he can handle it. Östlund, Rosen, and Kozak bring great energy to the team. Will hate to see any one of them sent down, but expect it. The future is brighter after their visit.

Shot? Kesselring tried to make a hit against the wall. Limped off.

Agree about Strength. The 5 member team is also responsible for supervising Conditioning as well, offseason, preseason, in season. Ultimately, the player is responsible for his body. Think some have their own trainers. Injuries part of the game for every team. Still, UPL missed the preseason, Norris played 1 game. Kesselring plays 8 games after a preseason injury and is reinjured yesterday. Benson injured, cleared to play, then gets infection. Kulich out with blood clots. Reasonable to look at practice regimen, conditioning & nutrition programs, and medical protocols. Adams has to do whatever it takes to keep his roster healthy.

Guilty. It’s Kesselring.

Kesslering in a walking boot.

Nice hearing players happy and upbeat in the postgame interviews.

Enjoy it

Welcome home, Captain!

Bravo, Sabres!

Sammy Boom! Huge win

Gets my vote for the next start.

Good comeback Ellis big in 3rd period

Ruff wakes up

Ruff? Ellis? Appert? sheesh

In position to get a win. Do it.

Did you notice the young kids all cheered with arms in air on McLeod shorty. Sabres have been missing that enthusiasm
