Sometimes I wish Eichel would use his speed and go to the outside instead of trying to dangle his way through. 

[Tondas]

Risto is so smooooth.  He's built of rubber and hits don't seem to affect him.  Very smart and only going to get better. 

[Sabres Fan in NS]

The Sabres are more than holding their own against an outstanding team.

 

The answer to my question looks to be no, at least so far.

[MODO Hockey]

I think the Sabres are keeping up pretty well though.

Agreed

Absolutely.

Somebody on here must be tracking this: are we the lowest scoring first period team in the league?

I think we have the worst +/- in the first.

[hockeyhound]

I expect much more of the same in the 2nd. Patience and good defensive pressure.

 

Make the breaks count, Let's Go Buffalo!

So, leaving Ovechkin completely uncovered in front is a bad idea? Who knew?

[MODO Hockey]

FUWK!!!!!

While they're at it can they calculate the number of goals against scored in the first and last minute of periods because

[Doohicksie]

Dahell.  What happened?

 

Sabres:  0

Caps:  :death:

[wjag]

This team ALWAYS has to play 0-1

[hockeyhound]

We've got them where we want them.

[MODO Hockey]

Sooo close!!

[Ottosmagic13]

All the defensemen on our team save Risto have the wrong choke on their barrels, the spread is a bit wide. 

[hockeyhound]

IMO ROR reads and anticipates puck movement better than any other Sabres.

 

He doesn't just stand and watch, and if he get can get somewhere and make a difference he is going to try to.

Nice flip pass from McCabe to Samson

[WildCard]

Great bounce back shifts. Dominating this period

[Brawndo]

Nice play Eichel

[MODO Hockey]

HERE WE GO <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<---

[Randall Flagg]

Why does the Eichel line, which is very shaky defensively, always get the 3rd D pair?
