GDT: Sabres @ Oilers, 10/18/22, 9pm, tv and wgr

[Mustache of God]

That's what it looks like when goaltending wins you a game.

[Doohicksie]

Not often you can play one period and get two points.

[Pimlach]

Always great to start a west coast trip with a W. 
 

Rough 3rd.  Comrie was outstanding. 
Tage got off the schnied  

 

[KC Scouts]

I'll add that if we want to be in the hunt for a playoff spot there are going to have be nights like this where a goalie steals the game for us

[Huckleberry]

Comrie win 🙂

I’d prefer two wins where we outplayed our opponent but...scoreboard. Two dubs on the back of two good (one great, actually) netminding performances 

Doubt we can count on that forevermore but some other stuff may sort out in the meantime with any luck

good win

good night. 

This ain't figure skating.

[Huckleberry]

Dahlin on pace for a 82 goal season 😛

[Brawndo]

Hopefully Lubushkin’s Injury isn’t too bad 

[HumanSlinky39]

Lotta smart people said the Comrie signing was a sneakily good move...

[K-9]

Man, we really missed Cody Eakin on those D zone face offs in crunch time. 😁

[North Buffalo]

Faceoffs and still passing are off but hustle and great D and goaltending... Hope Bousch is ok gonna need him against Calgary.

Motrin and ice lots of it.

[Andrew Amerk]

The Bills beating KC, and the Sabres beating McJesus to start a west coast trip - that’s a nice couple days for a Buffalo sports fan. 

[Crusader1969]

Not exactly the shut down that the Sabres saw vs the Panthers but still able to survive. 

is goaltending now a strength of the organization?

Comrie, Anderson an. UPL all looked the part so far

He's gonna need to score all those because we have quite a few players that are on pace for 0 goals.

54 win pace too- all in regulation.

Don’t have a good feeling about tonight…

EDM 6
BUF 2

😞

I was wrong!  😊

[Bangarang]

Man we certainly don’t like to make things easy on ourselves. 

[thewookie1]

The 3rd got rough; I'd love to know how many shots were recorded in the last 5 min as they hammered the puck at Comrie.

Dahlin has decided that he's a Top Defenseman and leaving little to discussion.

Tage throws the gorilla off his back

JJ Peterka is working his way into a possible Calder candidate.

 

Power looked more akin to his 8 game stint than this years first 2 which is a great sign.

Comrie gave us a solid if not great game tonight

[Porous Five Hole]

First Star: Eric Comrie

Second Star: Rasmus Dahlin

Third Star: Eric Comrie’s mom for giving birth to Eric Comrie

[JohninMinn.]

Lombardi and Stanley the year of the Buffalo.

[LTS]

The team will continue to have moments like this. They'll have moments where they are the dominant team and they will look like crap. A young team does that. But it's the little things that come at the right times that give you hope for where this team is going.

And that those little things are coming from the right players.  The Cozens/Peterka pair is paying off.  There's no doubt about that.

They are playing a bit more of a high risk game and Edmonton is a counter-attack team.  They still have to improve D zone coverage, but a win is a win.

But we do make the most of our chances.... unlike the Eulers.

I thought they did okay.... for two periods.  By the third they were whooped.  For the most part though they kept their structure and didn't panic, even under the wilting barrage.
