First time in years I have heard a Buffalo Sabre player use the phrase “we have to play Buffalo Sabres hockey.”

I’m telling you, it means something.

I love you all.

BTW, whenever I'm posting stuff like "there's no chance we can win this game" it's 100% trying to induce a jinx in the correct direction 

every time

Streamable of the winning goal and, umm, the "celebration":  https://streamable.com/2xbjk

Someone will undefile the stick, I'm sure.  Maybe some holy water or chlorine or something.

I don't know what it means, but I hope they do.

I recall games last season where there was only 4 pages.  Big difference this year

Let's never let that happen again.

[Thorner]

Eichel now on a 20 goal, 77 assist pace. Really carving out that elite level playmaker role this season.

So do I but I just can't let this one go!  It's going to be a little bit before I can doze off.

[Andrew Amerk]

I hope this ridiculous game has earned me another GDT.

You do know what it means.  It means 2005-06 and 2006-07 and 2009-10.  It means winning divisions and playoff games and kicking ass.  

It means Conference Finals in 1975 and 1980 and 1998 and 1999 and 2006 and 2007.  

It means scoring the sh$t out of everyone.  It means a 7-6 win over Ottawa.

It means Schony and Hasek and Lindy and Gil.

 

It means awesome.

Do a little bit of the Risto celebration thing.  That always helped me sleep.

[Randall Flagg]

Still at De Luca .500. The longer we can stay at this level and continue to grow, the better the chances for a wild card run become.

It's been over 6 and a half years (Apr 3, '12, 6-5 over TOR) since we last won a game in which we gave up 5 goals. Man, does it feel good!

[Randall Flagg]

And I'm not worried about the sloppiness of the game - the Sabres are not a super clean defensive team, but they're middle of the pack, and Montreal is going to expose lots of teams with that skating speed. It's nice to get 4 points from them this early in the season.

That game was crazy, it had the Leopold 30 second scrum goal!

Imagine how many points he'd have if he would just move his feet once in awhile. 177 minimum. Lazy bum!

*desperately mashing F5 until they update the standings* ahh, its good to be back.

Come to the meetup game.  Your first one's on me.  The next twelve are on @darksabre

It’s unlikely this season — it’s a bit of a jaunt from the west coast. But I have half a mind to make it one of these years. Never made it to a Sabres home game. 

And deal on the first. 12 might get a little rough.

You don't earn them, you seize them.

[darksabre]

It's so weird to actually WANT to check the standings 

[Taro T]

Fun game.  A lot of bad hockey, but fun game & a W too.

Wondering if playing in Moe-ray-all for the 1st time as a pro weighed heavy on Dahlin.  He had a lot more pucks get away from him over the 1st 30 minutes than I've seen in any other full game.  Heck it might have been more than the last 10 games combined.

And was it Hutton going in that settled them down, or just the Habs being the Habs & not being able to score in the 3rd?  Either way, fun W.

Just because you nutted after the goal doesn't mean Risto did.  He can last.
