Wow, huge confidence builder.

I was at an OHL game, thus missed this one. UPL had an easy win for Sudbury, looks good.

An earlier comment about checking the standings caught my attention because I am doing that a lot now. They are a playoff contender.

In the past few years, I would already be looking at and anxiously awaiting new draft lists. What a difference.

Let's go Buffalo!

Tage needs to go down. Put Berglund on that 4th line. Flip pominville and reinhart. Pit Rodrigues back in the gd lineup.

Wowszy Wow Wow.... We got 2 points in this one!

That should be Wowie Wow Wow. I don't think Phil is getting enough credit for this win. Halfway though the second until the end, we saw the Sabres play a style we have never seen them play before. Granted, it's the modern NHL bag skate hockey that I hate, but it's what teams play and its what Winny is really,… really good at.

Maybe it took them seeing the way it was supposed to be played by the Jets for it to sink in what Phil's been teachin'.

FWIW, I thought Thompson had a very good third period.

I thought he was really good in the third.

Like you, they scored in the third.

Nice.

 

Our D had a great game. All of them.

I also thought Dahlin played like the reason we picked him.

Man, that third period,… I didn't even care if we won at that point, just to see them playing that way.

Sun's a little brighter today.

Not in Buffalo, it isn't.  But yes, it's nice to see two wins over two great teams.  Less than eight hours 'til gametime!

Fair. In the midst of the doldrums last night I thought to myself that we need to see the coaches step up and make the dreaded adjustments. It's like when the Pats are down by 10 at halftime. You know what's coming.

Hot take: Steve Smith behind the bench and Chris Hajt up top is the biggest upgrade the Sabres made for this season.

He’d look great with the Ontario Reign.

Who'll be in goal Saturday?

I can't believe I missed most of this and the entire Wild game.  I'm glad you rabid fans got to see it and had fun though.  You deserve it.
