I will say this:  Philly lost because all game long they couldn't bury a rebound.  They had plenty of chances.  The Sabres beat the Flyers because the Flyers beat themselves.

I’m not that impressed with Philly.  They have a few good players, that’s about it.  We should beat 5hem tomorrow, depends on Toker.  

[Eleven]

Nice win.  It took every bit of energy for me to stay up for it, but nice win!  

[bunomatic]

Once the boys woke up they pretty much dominated the rest of the way. Good game. 

[PerreaultForever]

Horrible first period but man is Philly bad. 

We could have blown them out if we'd played a full 60 minutes. Thompson has really mastered his aim on those snap shots but we all know this already. 

Still can't stand Bjork. He's gotta go. 

[thewookie1]

Woot woot! Love to see a win!

 

Covid sucks

[Flashsabre]

Guys lay off Philly. They were missing their franchise dman. 😁

I know our goaltending has been bad since Miller but I have never seen an organization with worse luck or ability to identify goaltending like the Flyers.

Why anyone would willingly take Martin Jones is beyond me.

Not really. We have to stop trying to shoehorn decisions into predictable scenarios of yesteryear. DB is giving the guy experience, regardless of what  anyone thinks it means.

“Stop trying to shoehorn decisions into predictable scenarios of yesteryear”.    Really?  You said that?  LOL 😂 
 

Just say Granato is providing him with opportunity.  That is what it is, and some of us know enough about hockey to understand that.     Yesteryear.  😂 

[Huckleberry]

I just got home from bar, good to see a win.

Krebs with a nice pass acrrost to Okposo , still need to see the rest but that pass alone has me believing for next year.

You literally said him playing in the ice meant something. I hope you’re laughing your really dumb comment. Because Owen power playing final in this game when we’re out of the playoffs doesn’t mean anything other than getting him experience.

[Digger]

Dahlin interview, he's changed his go to statement from "super excited" to "super happy".

I am laughing at comment - “shoehorning decisions into predictable scenarios of yesteryear”.  Yesteryear is a bizarre thing to say.  

To Power and to the rest of the team the decision to play him means something.  Not that it is an unusual move for a coach in this situation to put him to the test, but also that Power earned that time.  If you played the game you would understand.   He earned the opportunity to play at crunch time.

I didn’t realize I was talking to a former NHL player who believes that you earn your crunch time minutes in your third ever NHL hockey game. 🙄

acrrost

Perfect.

Just some quick thoughts. I thought Skinner played really well. I would have given him the first star. He made some really good passes. He is adept at hanging onto the puck and twirling around in tight passes to set others up or get off a shot. He was our most noticeable player. And he may be our most feisty player.  

It's getting repetitive to point out the obvious that Dahlin is usually one of the best players on the ice for a particular game but also one of the best players in the league. 

Krebs made a nice pass that was converted. And so did Mitts. 

Power is solid now but he is going to be a top tier player very soon. He plays with such instinctive intelligence on offense and defense. Sometimes you don't realize how big he is because he can skate so well in tight spaces. I'm sure I'm jumping the gun but he plays like an anchor defenseman already. 

Okposo is our most consistent player. 

Hinostroza was a good pickup. He's fast and an active player. 

The Sabres are an entertaining team to watch. 

The best decision this organization made this year was the hiring of Don Granato. The two players who would second that opinion are Skinner and Dahlin. He unchained them and set them free to exploit their natural talents.

Believe it.  You just saw it.   You will continue to see it.  
 

Of course you coul roll out Bryson and Fitz and that way be free of predictable scenarios from yesteryear.

I said the same upthread.  He drove play all night and drew multiple penalties.  I can't believe he wasn't any star.

[Pimlach]

It’s great to see Dahlin emerge like he is.  He played another strong game. 

[NAF]

Didn't get a chance to watch -- how was Power?

I liked how Vinny H played but I wouldn't have given him a star. Skinner should have gotten either the first or second star. Okposo has been our most consistent player all season long.

Another good game.  He is jumping into the offensive side of the game more.   He played 22:59 mins.

He was trying to score. But he whiffed on a tee up. Otherwise good .
