Granato has an opportunity here with a big lead and 8 minutes to go.  Some previous coaches may have the team shut it down for the night and protect the lead by playing boring dump & chase hockey.  Hopefully Granato has the team keep attacking and hungry for more goals.  I hope he has them stay aggressive and run up the score.....IMHO that would send a great message to his young team.

Hagg has been mixed, but on the plus side, he's deflected 3 or more shots off the rush casually into the netting. No SOG, no rebound. That's expected of a lower pair D. Looking the part.

Cozens and Hinostroza are a formidable forechecking tandem.

I think we could easily turn into the islanders. A gritty team with no superstars and occasionally getting a round or 2 into the playoffs 

...and this is just the start of the build.

It’s only 1 game. 
 

Every Sabres fan has seen hot starts to seasons recently.

We all are fully aware that this is only one game but this is shocking.   Granato had them playing better last year but with what we seemingly lost with players, this is impressive.

This is really fun to watch, but I need to see a few more games of it before I change my mind on this team.

Big leap getting to round 2 after 2 periods of hockey.

When was the last time you seen them play a game like this?

We've never had Granato as head coach to start a season.  He doesn't let a team coast.

Of course,  no need to think anything more about it.  It's just damn good hockey tonight and we're supposed to be woefully under manned, incapable of playing like this.  Tonight we are.   Enjoy it!
