Quinn was disappointing 

Disappointing? I don't think so. He wasn't outstanding or anything, but he wasn't disappointing.

I don't think he's a good fit for that line. I think Mitts and Tuch work well together. He's not a complimentary for either.

[Gatorman0519]

Goaltending got us two points tonight. 

[JujuFish]

Fun second period and a great game by Anderson. I'll take it.

[Pimlach]

Olofsson seals the deal. 
 

Anderson is 1st star 

Dahlin 2nd 

JJP 3rd

 

I hope Muel is OK.

Seemed like he was just out there going through the motions.

I heard that would not happen.

Well played game!  I am impressed with the play from top to bottom.   Dahlin set the tone early.  Good to see the on ice leadership.

DG put them on with a minute left, 6 vs 5.

Granato always seizes the growth opportunity.

Couple guys looked like they were skating in sand... Quinn looked lost... Andy was great Lubushkin (sp) has a nasty streak... Sabres cleared the puck pretty well in front of the net not a lot of 2nd chances.  Good win.. 

[Digger]

Nice to see Peterka and Cozens showing some chemistry.  I was criticizing Peterka after the preseason but he looked good tonight.

[Claude Balls]

I must admit, after that 1st period dud, the boys took over the rest of the game. Very impressive win!!! And Craig Anderson must be on the TB12 program. He was solid after that first goal. Best part of the game was when Dahlin turned Norris into a Sno-Cone.

Or he needs to learn how the other two play looked lost at times.

ESPN+ appears to have crashed just as the game ended.

Well maybe Quinn is a better fit with thompson and Skinner.    Lets give it some time, kids need to adjust to NHL speed.

Nice win , when it got tough they battled through it.

 

[Slack_in_MA]

Some nice talk about the Sabres and the Buffalo fanbase from Billy Jaffe and Ken Daneyko on the NHL Network just now, FWIW.

[That Aud Smell]

There was a lot to like there.

The Thompson line mostly wasn’t it — until the EN goals maybe?

Did you interpret what I said as if I’m saying his entire career is doomed? I know it’s only one game. 

[Norcal]

I liked that Quinn took the body a few times tonight.

He's shown some willingness to do that while his game develops.

Good win

Not sure how much a fan I am of Power being the deepest Sabre in the offensive zone w/under a minute left lol, but overall he improved as the game went on.

Anderson was a big difference maker  

[HumanSlinky39]

Anderson goalied them.
