GDT Sabres at Canucks 1-25-18 10 PM MSG GR

[Randall Flagg]

Awesome road swing.

Potential to be franchise-altering, if they don't look back from here.

The BJ's did it. They started 0-11 during our tank year, but went on a meaningless March run and have been a very good team since.

 

Let this be the permanent blooming of talent and effort we so desperately needed.

 

If we win on Tuesday, IIRC, it'll be our first 4 game win streak since March 2012. 

If Jack gets a point Tuesday he'll have 50 in 50. I can't believe players have scored 50G in 50 games before. Hockey has changed a lot. 

And Robin Lehner! Helluva two games there. 

Risto is dumb sometimes but he's also incredibly effective back there others. 

Sam, stay confident. 

[Thorner]

Only small disappointment is Jack’s point streak came to an end. Oh well.

[Nitro60]

I am glad to have stayed up to watch this game.  

[Taro T]

Three games in four nights, 11 goals for, 1 against.

Best stretch of hockey in five years?

Seriously, was it?

They were in the heat of the tank 5 years ago. This has to be the best they've played since before Lucic-Miller.

[Brawndo]

First back to back shutouts on the road for a Buffalo goalie since Ryan Miller six years ago (at Anaheim and San Jose). It's been a rare thing in Sabres history. Dom did it once anyway. And of course Bobby Sauve became Bobby O in the playoffs in Montreal in 1983 with back to back blankings.

Back to back in the Forum, that was incredible

[Iron Crotch]

I think we're only 2 points back of Ottawa.

[Randall Flagg]

At least Risto enjoyed that goal.

 

That was awesome

What happened here guys?

[bunomatic]

Thank you Dallas. 

 

Great win. Great roadtrip. Phils got em going.

[MODO Hockey]

Wtf is going on. On my way home from night shift

Good. Start climbing.

[Randall Flagg]

They were in the heat of the tank 5 years ago. This has to be the best they've played since before Lucic-Miller.

They had some 3 game win streaks in that season, but those were "teams falling asleep with backup goalies and still thoroughly outplaying us" games. 

 

We were indeed the better hockey team three nights in a row and looked like we belonged in the league. 

[Stoner]

What happened here guys?

Larsson blocked a shot and was hurting after he scored. He just skated to the bench with is head down while Risto gave the touchdown signal.

[SwampD]

I like when we play lesser teams. Vancouver didn't look all that sharp.

[Brawndo]

Should we meet them at the airport? They get in at 5:56 AM

[Stoner]

Will someone PLEASE set the 60 seconds of keepaway to Sweet Georgia Brown? I will pay you lol.

[Ogre]

I’m remembering a Dream I had where winning made me a winner!

[dudacek]

Lost in the glory of the Sabres, PA was on fire tonight

[Stoner]

Should we meet them at the airport? They get in at 5:56 AM

haha! EVERYONE TO PRIOR AVIATION! (Not to be confused with Pioneer Aviation, eh NS?)

Hockey MODO, they're playin hockey!!!!! :w00t: Finally!

 

Let's Go Buffalo!

Nah, everyone was, especially our boys. A fun evening.

[gilbert11]

Good win.

 

Back to back shutouts for Lehner, too.

 

I'm not superstitious.

So all it took was trade rumors to get him going? Maybe he’s motivated to play to get traded?

[Tondas]

Just like an ill-advised business trip I once had, "No matter what happens from here, nobody can take these 4 days away from us."

[SwampD]

Robin froze a lot more pucks than is usual for him tonight.

[Thorner]

Jets lose. Good night all around.

 

Miller dominant in shootout.
