[Iron Crotch]

Another goal for the turdburger! F. U. Google and facebook!

[...]

Make that guy the captain! Oooooohh....

[Mustache of God]

Two regulation wins in a row? What sort of mirror universe have we entered?

[...]

Two in a freakin' row! It's the end days!

[I am Defecting]

Now why don't you go back to your droughty conditions, you fracking-stoner-californian-wanna-be-new-yorkers. Go frack a fault line, you thirsty finless zombie sharks!

This one.

Good win for the Sabres on national TV

Irbe in a Sabres Uni.

 

Too soon to recycle Vinz's number.

[SwampD]

If Gionta's interview was in black and white with crappy audio, I would have no problem believing he played in the 50's.

[darksabre]

Are the Sabres good now?

[JJFIVEOH]

The last time the Sabres had a winning streak they beat the Sharks, at home, on a night where Enroth got the win yet wasn't scheduled to start.

[Tondas]

Winning is fun.

most impressive about this game is the 17,435 people who trekked through the frozen landscape of Hoth (I assume by Tauntaun) to attend the game:

I thought they showed great poise in just getting it out of the zone with the goalie pulled and not trying to just try to get a lucky goal from their own side of the red line.

 

I enjoyed this game.

As much as I want to believe it, I think STH seats are counted if no one shows up. :(

give it 10 years. Then we can just pull up pictures of the storm and the box score, and then tell everyone how tough people in buffalo are and how much they love their Sabres.

[Hoss]

@BillHoppeNHL: Michal Neuvirth is more than day to day. #Sabres

[Mustache of God]

This one.

Indeed. Here's my take on the above. Not really sure how to attach photos here so hope this goes through.

Poorly worded on Hoppe's part

Noice.

Yep; on the postgame they said that they actual attendance was something like 6200 (17K+ is paid attendance).

Wonder if that means Makarov comes up. Hopefully he actually sees a few games if he does, but I doubt it. Looks like it's Enroth's chance to win back the job he lost

that's twice an average Carolina/Florida attendance. If there's one thing that always keeps me proud about Buffalo, it's how loyal/absurdly fanatic we are about our teams.

[Tondas]

I just read an article where Irbe suited up for the second period on. Could he have played? If so, why couldn't a scratched player come down from the press box if needed every game? Is there a special rule for goalies?

[Norcal]

The Gionta/Mitchell/Flynn line confused me at first but the more I see them play I can see why they were put together

Zadorov contines to improve and I really like the Risto/Zad combo plus the fact that they are playing in all situations now

Girgensons...just wow

Neuvirth...it sucks that he got hurt, alot

[pastajoe]

I'd prefer Makarov stay in Roch and get playing time rather then sit on bench in Buffalo. Get Marty Biron to fill in, he's already on the Pegula payroll at Harborcenter.

Yes the rule is different for goalies. The league always wants two goalies dressed in case of injury. They had Irbe sign a pro contract between periods. He could have played.

Cool. Thanks, Joe.
