GDT GDT: San Jose at Buffalo 7:00 pm ET, 2/7/2017

[Nitro60]

San Jose is the Atlanta of the West Coast tonight.  

[ct fab]

Eichel literally carried the puck for 195 feet before passing. The two SJ forwards knew they weren't catching up to him

[North Buffalo]

Goalie needs to be suspended for trip post goal on Kane, seriously helluv a comeback but betting Kane seperated his shoulder going into boards.

[DarthEbriate]

Hey!!! It only took about a season and a half, but Kane finally buried an Eichel cross on a two-on-one!

[Mustache of God]

The Sabres are now 17-1-1 vs San Jose at home. I'll have 3 of whatever beer is having.

 

Hope Kane is OK, hope he didn't break a wrist or dislocated a shoulder.

[Iron Crotch]

2 points each for ROR, Kane, Eichel and Gio.

[Brawndo]

He might, but Pegula isn't going to terminate another coach two years in, especially after Rex and the convenient injury excuse right there for him to use

GMTM could take the approach that Julien is an instant upgrade and as GM I'm always looking to make the team better. We can move Dan to a front office position.

[WildCard]

Hahaha Kane saying changing the lines didn't matter :lol:

[SabresBaltimore]

Who needs to play a full 60 minutes? Apparently we don't. We've done this several times now. I'd love to see what they can do if they play with that intensity all the time, but for now I'll take the comeback win.

Quit getting my hopes up!

 

If Julien is hired here this summer I'll do the ol' avatar switcharoo

[Samson's Flow]

What a comeback. I watched the first 40 minutes on mute while reading because they looked horrible. Unmuted once they scored the second and enjoyed the ride from there.

 

It's amazing what this team can do when they just go for it and play to score with an aggressive forecheck. I still want Bylsma give but that was fun

[Tondas]

Too bad RJ was not on board to call this one.  He would have gone crazy.

[Iron Crotch]

Too bad we're not in the Western Conference. We dominate those teams (other than Chicago) and lose to teams in the East.

Amen Brother.

[Randall Flagg]

Kane better be okay. He's playing lights out. 

 

Jack's physical skills are something to behold. A lot of maturing to do off the puck but he's already a devastating hockey player.

That was fun.

I have to blame the veterans (or lack thereof) on this.  A Drury, Schoenfeld, or Peca does not let this happen.  But the team is young and growing.  Hopefully, this panic win becomes less and less often.

[Randall Flagg]

My favorite part about the Okposo goal - ROR could have easily grabbed the pass in the slot, it went through his tripod, but he knew KO was in a better position and trusted that Sam's pass was on target, and let it go. 

[French Collection]

I thought they were done and the trade deadline chatter was gonna heat up.

Awesome comeback.

Let's have a string of wins, stop the roller coaster ride.

[pi2000]

Sharks are a team that the Sabres need to aspire to be.

?

[Randall Flagg]

If we started every game spotting the other team 2 goals, we'd probably get home ice.

[Thorner]

In England, Sabres made it worth my while staying up for this one. What a finish! Kane is a really good player. Any notion that we didn't win that trade is laughable at this point.

 

Is it any surprise that we keep having these late comebacks, when the team gets behind and they are finally allowed to open up offensively? Bylsma trying to get them to play low-event, defensive hockey is s joke. I believe in these players. Bylsma needs to adjust his strategy, or we need a new coach pronto.

Interesting theory, Thorny.  Makes perfect sense to me.

[CallawaySabres]

I fell asleep putting kids to bed at 4-1 and just woke up.....holyyyyyyyy shite!!!!!!

[Randall Flagg]

Dunleavy's call of the OT goal was pretty damn good.

This is what worked for me:
