I won’t derail the post game - I’ve been meaning to post this in the music thread… But a couple weeks ago I went to Mississauga to participate in a Triumph documentary. People applied to be one of 150 fans to be a part of it and it was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever done in my life… it was ***** amazing. I got to see them play 3 songs for the film. Front row with Rik Emmett about 6 ft away from me. 
 

 

Rik Emmett can shred!

@PASabreFan, did you have tickets to this previously, or did you purchase them when you saw the Aud setup?

This. If the PP were working, this team would look dangerous again.

Might one say, "Scary good"?

[woods-racer]

Watched Jack's post game in locker room interview and got 2 points from it.

1. *Takin care of business* was blaring and they had to talk loud to hear each other. There's confidence in that room, not a lucky we got 2 points feeling, we won that feel because we're better vibe.

2. It's tough to play in our barn. Good work along the walls and working hard in our d-zone as a forward. 

And lastly, they sucked me in. The hook is coming out the bottom of my jaw.

Dahlin was perrrrrty good

Anybody know the Sabre's record wearing the gold jersey's?  For some reason, I feel like their record is pretty good when they are wearing them.

Don't trade Risto, trade Mitts

Mitts and Bogo.

Watching the full postgame show for the first time since...2012?

this RaKru thing seems to being coming along nicely

And any GM who turned down a “fair” deal for Risto over the summer has got to be kicking himself right now. Right now, he’s playing like the player we hoped he would turn into 3 years ago.

And to the GM who kept him even though he sounded broken during his locker cleanout interview...

Playing the devils twice certainly helped.

Mitts and Bogo.

I was thinking the same thing.

Has to be worth at least a serviceable third line wing.

In that situation it helps that the owner is a big fan

Is it tonight, or does it seem like that immature cockiness is missing from Jack's demeanor?

It would be easy to be cocky with a two goal night, but the mission is larger than one game.

Too early to give up on Mitts. Send him to Rochester and stress gaining muscle. 

[Doohicksie]

This ain't to foolin' around.

Maybe package Bogo, Scandy, a draft pick, and add another piece for the playoffs.

Maybe we don’t have to give up that much.  Scandy has been solid thus far.

This is Krueger’s Greatest Effect, Jack is a different player on and off the ice 

[thewookie1]

Another solid win, they are playing again like they did in October. A team game where our LOG line sets a tone and our top players play like top players.

Eichel has truly embraced his captaincy it seems; we saw it some last year but it ebbed away as the season fell apart. This year he's kept it together through the highs and the lows with a consistent desire to help his team win. 

Please Botts, send young Mitts to Rochester and let him regain his confidence.

I credit Krueger more, for lowering his ice time. I credit Botterill for acquiring Dahlin’s long term 1st pairing RD in Jokiharju in the heist of the century.

Mittelstadt has way more value than that. Still young, I wouldn’t be LOOKING to move him.

It should be noted that Jack’s demeanour was actually much improved LAST season. Though I’m sure Krueger has aided in his continued development. 

[Nitro60]

What a difference a month makes.  Last month the Sabres scored 34 and gave up 47 in 14 games.  So far this month they have scored 27 and given up 18 in 6.  HUGE improvement in the play.

It should be noted their advanced metrics were average to good since Sweden 

[New Guy]

Really dug the 11-7 F-D lineup tonight

Enough positives have been mentioned for the Captain, Risto, Larsson, Ullmark, VO, and Joker among many others that are well deserved. 

Let's also give a shoutout to Okposo tonight who could not be moved off the puck whatsoever tonight, either. He's looked terrific ever since returning from injury. Jack's praise of the LOG line in the postgame put a big grin on my face, too.

 I liked a lot about tonight.

But nothing more than this.
