Believe, baby.

What did Milbury say?  Something like not necessarily the second best in the draft?  Close to that? 

[bunomatic]

WTF ? We beat the Lightning. Great game

I didn't see this mentioned, and maybe it was, but that was, by far, Eichel's best game this year so far.

[GrassValleyGreg]

Executed well from puck drop to empty netter. Can't remember seeing a team with the skill of TB have so much trouble getting out of their own end. Forecheck and defensive zone structure was top notch.

 

Again, Eich's coming out party. These guys continue to gush into the aftergame show. "Mario Lemieux-type stuff". So nice to have a shiny little object in Buffalo. 

 

I thought one of Reinhart's strongest games as well. Literally. First time I've seen him shield the forecheck to buy time for zone clearance like that. And his awareness was on display also.

 

A lotttttt of hate on Gionta on here. I like the guy on the ice in key situations more than Mouls. His game continues to regress.

 

Hey this is fun!

[Huckleberry]

Cheap goal, cmon

 

That was cheaper than cheap :D

[thewookie1]

GFJ Sabres!  Not only was it fun to watch but Eichel put on a show. There was a play in the third where he found a loose puck and fought off Stamkos to get a shot on. This kid is special!

 

Risto +1 Goal

Eichel +1 Goal

Franson +1 Goal

Foligno +1Goal

 

= WIN!

I love this team. I don't really have anything insightful to say tonight, I just freakin' love this team. Pure joy.

I think it was "second best, maybe not." Which is huge for him.

[Doohicksie]

For those with CenterIce, the Preds - Sens game is epic.  5-5 early in the third period.  A Sens loss would help us out.

 

Preds score!

Complete Stats for the game

 

Go ahead and look at that top line's stats, not even close when compared to every other player. And we know it ain't O'Reilly dragging them down

[Doohicksie]

Believe, baby.

 

That's a hard thing to ask of a Buffalo sports fan.  Baby steps:  I'll acknowledge the possibility.

 

 

 

 

....and another Preds goal.  7-5 now.

That shot chart is amazing.  TONS of Tampa shots in dangerous areas, and so very few shots taken from the LW side of the ice by Buffalo.

Preds again

"Kucher, Kucherov........... whatever his name is"...............................

Chad is hanging in there.   ;)

 

I see what you did there.

[hockeyhound]

I Love This Team! :worthy:  Its all up hill; we can see the light.

 

Coming out of the darkness.

 

Let's Go Buffalo!

[WildCard]

Go to "Head-to-Head" match-ups scroll down to see Sabres Players vs. Lightning Players. O'Reilly, Gionta, and Moulson got absolutely worked tonight, by everyone they went up against. Oddly enough, everyone else did very well, especially the 2nd and 3rd lines

I think it is official, we are tough to play against.

Right? I love that site for after the game charts. That and the other one I posted can really tell you a lot about what we witness on the ice

 

Edit: You can also go to the Event Charts on war-on-ice, and they show everything in some really amazingly interactive charts

He likes the national spotlight. That bodes oh-so-well when we make the playoffs again.

 

A few games ago I commented on how you could see the frustration in his game. There was no frustration tonight.

Such a good site. I think it's safe to say we can't have Mouls and Gionta on the same line.

Awesome game.  I actually turned down box seats for tonight's Preds - Sens game.  Did the Sabres-Bills double in Buffalo this weekend and I have Preds tickets Thursday and Saturday.  Needed a night home for a change... and wanted to watch the Sabres beat Tampa!

The rooting against a division opponent has intensified already.

O'Reilly can cover for one defensive liability, he can't cover for two. Those guys are like anchors on whatever line they're on and have to be apart. This is where losing Kane really hurts, I think.

 

But whatever happens, for the love of everything, can we please stop giving Gionta 19+ minutes? He can play a nice role on this team, but that is not it.

[Doohicksie]

Well I think Jack Eichel's national debutante ball went well, didn't you?
