Any one of you could've bought a ticket the Loafs fans bought. It was one of the loudest the Sabres fans have been at games this season, and we only had 1,000 in the crowd. I’ve been chastised in the same manner for having the same perspective that I posted tonight. Not that I should need to explain myself, but I don’t live in Buffalo, I’m also a single parent with full time custody of my 2 year old daughter and don’t always have a babysitter, and I also wouldn’t have been able to afford what people were selling the tickets for. Otherwise, if I had a sitter and the funds, I would’ve loved to have been at a Sabres-Leafs rivalry game tonight, just like I was able to so many times in the past. My opinion remains the same - it’s a shame to see so many rival fans in our barn, and I think it’s embarrassing. ?♂️ Quote

But tonight's criticism struck a nerve. This game was more fun than the rout of Joisey at the opener. Was seriously concerned about how the sea of Loaf fans would react to an over the top Sabres fan in front of them. Fortunately, they realized they were guests in our building. Seriously, told the wife before the 2nd period, hoped our will was up to date. But it must not have been, as she didn't give that little shove. ? 1 Quote

They're just east coast Polacks. 5-2-1 in their last 8, healthiest they've been in months, Jack is on pace to crack the top 10 all time Sabres season point leaders and if he picks up the pace slightly he'll reach the top 3, Dahlin is now tied for 2nd all time for points scored by a teenage defenseman, 4 of their past 5 victories have come against teams fighting for a playoff spot, Florida and Montreal are fading, we are 8 points behind the Loafs with a game in hand and they're about to face the Penguins in a back to back. I don't understand why so many on this site are so depressed with this season. Hutton is coming back around (even I didn't see this coming) and looks like a NHL goalkeeper again. Games are important again and I'm looking forward to them again. Get a grip people, we're actually in a playoff race and we're playing meaningful games again. We just dominated the Loafs, who cares who was in the building besides @Taro T, he led us to victory, as for the Loafs playing a back to back scenario excuse, so did Ottawa and they beat Dallas today.

And to be honest, Jack seems to take a perverse pleasure in playing on home ice in front of thousands of Leafs fans. He channels their hate and turns it back on them. I need to see playoff Jack soon. I expect a level of play we haven't seen from a Sabre since Hasek. 2 Quote
Tondas Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 If we can continue to play like we did tonight, we could make a run at the playoffs. But then again, I am this type of guy. Quote
PerreaultForever Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 Spent the day with the family today and then capped it off with a recording of what I expected would be another frustrating disappointment and wow, what a way to cap off the day. I think that was the most fun Sabres game of the year (hate the Leafs). What a pleasant surprise! Looked like we might fold in the 3rd but bounced back and stuck it to them with their own game - only better. This game gives one hope for the future. Been criticising the rotating D man plan all year and now that we seem to have settled on 3 pairings they are so much better. Why did this take so long? The lines look so much more balanced as well. Better chemistry on them. You can see how badly we missed Olofsson (we are a thin team with little depth). I don't even have anything bad to say about Reinhart tonight :) If I have any critique, I didn't like the way Hyman easily muscled Montour off the puck and we are still weak in front of the net but man, this game does give one hope!!!!!!!!! Oh ya, forgot to mention. What kind of wheaties did Okposo switch to? That goal was beautiful. 1 Quote
Taro T Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 Proud swagger out of the schoolyard Waiting for the world's applause Rebel without a conscience Martyr without a cause Static on your frequency Electrical storm in your veins Raging at unreachable glory Straining at invisible chains And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge Staring down into a heartless sea Can't face life on a razor's edge Nothing's what you thought it would be All of us get lost in the darkness Dreamers learn to steer by the stars All of us do time in the gutter Dreamers turn to look at the cars Turn around and turn around and turn around Turn around and walk the razor's edge Don't turn your back and slam the door on me It's not as if this barricade blocks the only road It's not as if you're all alone in wanting to explode Someone set a bad example, made surrender seem alright It's not as if you're all alone in wanting to explode Someone set a bad example Made surrender seem alright The act of a noble warrior Who lost the will to fight And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge Staring down into a heartless sea Done with life on a razor's edge Nothing's what you thought it would be All of us get lost in the darkness Dreamers learn to steer by the stars All of us do time in the gutter Dreamers turn to look at the cars Turn around and turn around and turn around Turn around and walk the razor's edge Don't turn your back and slam the door on me No hero in your tragedy No daring in your escape No salutes for your surrender Nothing noble in your fate Christ, what have you done. All of us get lost in the darkness Dreamers learn to steer by the stars All of us do time in the gutter Dreamers turn to look at the cars Turn around and turn around and turn around Turn around and walk the razor's edge Don't turn your back and slam the door on me. - Neil Peart 2 2 Quote

Hutton’s recent play is a low-key shocking development. And a win in the 2nd half of February to keep the season alive, when last year’s team had begun its irreversible nose dive at this point, with all those sweet 3rd-period goals (including the very nifty feed from Risto to Vesey!)? yessir — best W of the year.

triumph_communes Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 Toronto is not good. That defense will cave sown the stretch like it did tonight Florida is considering selling at the deadline. Those are the two teams between us and 3rd in Atlantic. The hope isn’t dead yet. Quote

LabattBlue Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 While I predicted a Leafs blowout prior to the game, nothing makes me happier than knowing all the Leaf fans are going home pissed off after the game. I hope the border traffic was horrendous That 3 goal burst may have been a top 5 highlight of the Pegula era. Quote
Huckleberry Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 Those leafs fans sure are massochists, pay Bufallo STH's to see the sabres make the leafs their bitch again ? 1 Quote

Kristian Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 For those of us who give Buffalo a hard time about lack of back-checking : Watch the Leafs "back-check" Eichel's and Okposo's goals - Holy crap, that's some piss-poor back-checking if I ever saw it! Quote
