The biggest positive takeaway from this game was the play of Olofsson. He seems to have confidence back in his shot. And on top of that he is playing a much more well-rounded game. Getting him back to his sniping play is like adding another good player to the roster. Those who believe he should be dealt are misguided. He adds value to this roster. 

The general takeaway after watching this game is that this team doesn't quit when it gets behind. In this case although they were significantly behind they just kept at it. This is a mentally strong cast of players. 

There were a lot of big plays in this game. One of the biggest was a pass from Mitts ??? to Tuch for his tying goal at the end of the game. 

I believe the Sabres have earned points in six consecutive games. The tide has turned!

The Sabres haven't won in Chicago in 12 years(?). Back to back on the road. 3 games 4 nights. Never gave them a chance.

I was entertained.

That was so, so nice, watching them fight back and succeed!

Yep, I think I mentioned that earlier, perhaps before he scored.

I feel bad for Butcher. He's been given so many opportunities to shine and elevate his game with the rest of this young team and he's been snake bit. 

[spndnchz]

Good ? Ink not sure of the answer. 

[thewookie1]

They are definitely a different team; there's an internal drive to succeed we have rarely seen over the past 10 years. 

They are embodying Okposo and Tuch's "never say die" attitude. Even when the team seems deflated, they seem far more able to bounce back even within a game.

Dahlin's play has been great, truly worthy of a 1st overall

Stars…

Thompson

Olofsson

Tuch

Did you just watch the same game we did?

Helped us win by being so horrible playing for the opposition. "Bring him in" was rife with sarcasm

Could this be the game we point to as the game this team actually turned the corner and learned how to win?

I asked this after the Las Vegas game.  With that game the Sabres are 6-1-2 since March 10.

We just dropped another spot in the draft with a win over Chicago. Anyone care?

 

Feels good, real good.

I'd like to know the last time they came back from down 4 to win in Regulation! Maybe as far back as the 70's???

What an historic win and night for the memory books for our beloved young Swordsmen!

If you widen that out a touch, is Lankinen on there?

It is the future Casey sees. The broken stick, the goal. Wild goals that win games.

Any shot that you don’t take is not going to be a goal

[sabresouth]

What a wild game. This is such a confidence booster for this young team. Still wish we had compitent goaltending but the team decided to even overcome that.

I didn't read all the posts that were made about the game. I was commenting on my observation that is consistent with what you noticed.
