Hoss Posted October 16, 2021 Report Posted October 16, 2021 I was at a festival all day and missed it. I used to tell myself I’d never root for losses again. I was lying. I hope this team is miserable and getting the first pick isn’t even the number one motivation behind it. Quote

The win didn't feel cheap to me today, but after all the hard work through 3 periods I get where your coming from I suppose. When you see a team win like we did today after skating so well its hard not to start feeling a little optimistic about the season. 1 Quote

pi2000 Posted October 16, 2021 Report Posted October 16, 2021 They thoroughly outplayed what looked like a disinterested Coyotes team and deserved the win. That said, I remain skeptical they can maintain this style of play as the season wears on. 1 Quote

Expand I fully agree. To me the challenge for Granato is can he evolve this team's system to take advantage of the growth of the young core? I like to think he can. If the Sabres win another few games they will no longer being flying under the radar. Quote

Eleven Posted October 16, 2021 Report Posted October 16, 2021 I was able to watch the first and third. Not as exciting as last game, but they still played very well, and they are learning to win. 1 Quote
