And we should want to talk about it because otherwise this win isn't sustainable. Anytime somebody says leave it to the pros on an internet message board, I'm immediately rolling my eyes. The hell are you here for if it should be left to the pros? Because some people come here for the most important reasons.....1) they're a fan of the team and 2) to see if they win...with #2 being the most relevant stat of all. Just saying. Quote
steveoath Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 Good win, even if sketchy in the 2nd. Night all. Quote

They outshot the Wings 27-22, they took over the game early, they faltered a bit in the second, then finished nicely. You can stuff xG in your bloomer. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 2 PP and 1 SH goal. No PP, or SH, goals surrendered. A good special teams night 2 Quote

thewookie1 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 I still see no point in going after the owner; he's done a lot of good for the area. He's far from perfect but I'll never understand the sheer anger pointed to our ownership. Quote

Who are we to question his decision making? What do we know about owning a team?” That’s basically the same logic that you are applying to the on ice performance. From my point of view.

And you certainly didn’t “sound an alarm” to all those who disagree with your opinion on the owner. You just managed to knee jerk early in the game and happened to be the leader as others jumped on the bandwagon over the years. And now to those who agree with the negative views on the owners, you were one of the first on this forum. Um ok. So ... congrats?? I still like the Pegulas ... so congrats?? Quote
Indabuff Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 Looks like it's peak Sabres disappointment time of year. They're not worth it. Don't let these pricks make you divisive. Quote

To what end. The owners are measured on success. Which includes sales. To date, those haven't suffered. Until they do, the trial will be postponed. Quote

It's always a dead giveaway that somebody has no idea what they're talking about when they say a guy doing well will drive analytics people crazy, as if people who understand analytics don't know bad players will have good games.

PerreaultForever Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 We have a new team mantra now: "We're better than Detroit." Cool. They are really really bad. Tanking I guess. Good to see a little physicality (Lazar, Bogo, Risto) even if it was against a feeble opponent. We need this every night. Clearly, the Risto in front of the net PP option is the only way to go right now. Should only improve as Risto gets more comfortable in the role. Hutton is not the worst goalie in the league :) Let's see if any of this carries over when we play a better team next. Quote
