Believer

In his interviews, he seems a little shy and seems to lack confidence… DG knows him and will hopefully bring out the best in his game and his self-confidence… Putting him on the top line is an opportunity for him…

Nope… Will take a healthy roster, exceptional goaltending, a few hot goal scorers, 22+ pts in the 19 games remaining, and some help from other wild card contenders… This young Sabres team is capable of it… Just do it, boys… Show ‘em…

Agree we are getting bigger… but we are playing small… Playing physical is a mindset, I believe… Player either likes to play physical or he doesn’t… You can train a player but he has to want that toughness in his game… We have a handful of these type players… and a few who will as they age… We can rise to the occasion as we did against FL and TB… It is not a team attribute yet…

Beyond sloppy now…

We had no offense tonight…

What was that Cozens??… If you can’t transition… clear the zone for chrissakes…

Stats tell the story tonight… Isles dominate shots, blocks, hits, and face-offs… Whole different level…

UPL

What a crap call… He turned and kicked his leg to direct the puck… Refs show Sabres no respect…

Boom… Okposo

Breakdown…

Lost our physical game tonight… Last game took a lot out of us…

Badly outplayed this period…

Isles puck pressure is impressive… Had Dahlin handcuffed…

UPL

Just good work… and good speed… Got it done… Bravo, Cozens

Boom… Cozens…

Isles very physical tonight… Kept us off balance… even 4 on 4… Need to create some space

Bowling night so only saw last five minutes… Thought Sabres played well to the buzzer… McDavid and his dominance was the difference to me… He elevated every teammate on every shift I saw… Great C… Good learning experience for our young core… We will see him in a future SC final series… more than once, my bet

I am a Center Ice subscriber so see most games except ESPN+… Paid less than $10 for one month of ESPN+ in March… Saw the Bruin and Lightning games… Will see the Oilers and Islanders back-to-back… Great deal…

Hard to argue these facts… Seems DG wants VO to play through it… Law of Averages is on his side…

What a tool Harrington is criticizing Kids Day, the young performers, and the Sabres for promoting it… Even after being shamed for his Twitter post and deleting it like a convictionless coward… He couldn’t resist adding a shot with a qualifier in his last paragraph of today’s BN… Tool… If he were a player, Cooper would bench him for a few games, my bet.

Agree… KO has slowed this year, and with at least a couple forwards likely to move up, he will have real competition for a roster spot next year, my guess He is such a leader… Hope KA offers him an assistant coaching job, here in Buffalo, in Rochester or in Cincinnati… Wonder if his young family would want to put down temporary roots, though… Think he was building a new home back in MN…

Boom

Great game… Great effort… Great result… A sweet Matinee win in front of a full house of future season ticket buyers!!!
