SABRES 0311 Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 At a glance I can see ERod taking over for Vesey. I now see he was over hyped.

Hard to say, with two convincing wins....I would not be surprised if the teams stands pat with this lineup until they lose or somebody gets hurt. It will be interesting if Hutton gets the nod again on Monday.
IKnowPhysics Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 Incredible game. Incredible night for the fans and players. I guess there's only one thing left to do... 1 2 1

Doohicksie Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Posted October 6, 2019 Just finished watching... family stuff incurred on my Sabres time. Three things: GOAL'D uniforms! GOALOFSSON! and even GOALKPOSO!!??!!! I want to believe in RFK, but whether I do or not is not important. The Sabres players believe. That's all that matters. 1 1 1
Thorner Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 Dahlin over 20 mins tonight. Second to Risto.

Doohicksie Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Posted October 6, 2019 The Sabres D pretty much all played well. Risto with a great game, McCabe had some big moments, Dahlin showed both talent and grit. 1

Popular Post Randall Flagg Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted October 6, 2019 Two points in the bank are, as always, a sweet treat. On the standings sheet, they're always the same. When the whole entertainment angle of the sport is factored in, they're rarely the same. This was one of the special ones that don't happen all that often. A home blowout on Pominville day was probably the last one. Maybe Skinner to clinch the 10th win a few weeks after that. Jack and Sam are ready to be one of THOSE NHL duos. Victor is the perfect complement. And Skinner will not be left out if Johansson continues to bring that neutral zone game. Mitts, Sheary, Vesey were quiet, but sound, and the "guts" guys in 17/22/28/21 did their jobs well. I thought the active sticks of the third line were incredibly disruptive in all zones. Both on the power play and at ES there is a lot of horizontal movement with the puck, and it opens things up a lot. They're just starting to do this largely for the first time, so they're only going to get better at picking their spots. That's the kind of thing that fixes the kind of thing we SUCKED at the last few years. Sometimes Jack, Sam, and Victor are playing hot potato! Ralph will tell them to get selfish once in a while, because they can all beat goalies with their shots. The defensemen are otherworldly in transition. SO many breakaways and 2 on 1s that Rick's voice inflection was nonexistent in calling them by the third period. Just another 2 on 1. What do you do when Montour gets healthy? Obviously, things won't be perfect anymore by then, so the answer will likely become clear. But right now, the pairs are humming so well. Risto McCabe was an underrated duo last season, and they're phenomenal this year. Their physical engagement is a gift to an old-school fan, and is useful in this modern NHL the way they're doing it. Scandella-Joki are like Risto-Pilut last year, for the same reasons. Colin Miller was smart and steady for Dahlin, who just went off today. The entire shift before Kyle's goal was something that I've only ever seen Erik Karlsson do in the NHL, and I'm serious. He broke 3 Devils' ankles in 30 seconds, and then created the goal. Hutton with some big saves at important times that gave the team confidence to bounce back after goals against. These were the kinds of games that the offseason Krueger optimism hoped dearly for. They're the kind of games that put butterflies in my stomach, imagining what it would be like to do a project on why we're so GOOD.They are just two games, but they are good signs. And they make me ready for the next one! 8 2

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 I almost felt bad for NJ. They were coming off a terrible letdown OTL and walked into a juiced team playing on a special night at home in front of a great crowd and many of the great players in franchise history. That said we have learned already that RK can motivate and his system allows the guys to be creative while continuing to put pressure on the opponents. Through the two games we are constantly focused on taking away the opponents time and space. It's a pleasure to watch. 2
