GDT: Saint Bluis at Buffalo, 11/23/22, 7pm, MSG, WGR.

Samuelsson has played 7 games. He’s plus 10. Sabres are 6-1 in those games. We gave up 3 or more goals in 13 straight games, Samuelsson missed all 13 of those games. Last two games, 2 against in each. The kid is important.

Don't forget the "oh boy". I love Panger.

He gave lots of kudos to Sabres youth.

Disagree. He didn’t look good his first game, and Andy has had some really nice moments 

The team didn't look good his first game.  Not saying he's the guy.

 

 

But he could be.

I approve this message!!!

Ever since Samuelsson came back we started winning again, is it a coincidence? I think not.

You typed this, then Quinn did goals.  Correlation or Causation?

Causation.

 

 

 

Not even sure we could call it correlation. Just random.

And plenty of starts we hung Andy out to dry. Andy has stood on his head too. Memories are short. 

Comrie has looked weakest of 3 though

Now this might be causation

Children of the ⚔️. Check out the Sabres/twinkle game on 1/23. Dohickie will be sporting this look on the endzone with Sabres shooting 1st & 3rd. Handsome swordsman!!!!

Yep, and Spoonman will be right there with me.

Joker looked better simplified his game better on D... less worried about making rushes up the ice and now D doesnt need too..

I hope they sign him long term... wait a second

Comrie had that one game with all of those saves...

And I actually think Comrie moves laterally far better than UPL

But UPL was great tonight! 

Comrie (was it Edmonton?) and Anderson (1st game) each had one great game. Add UPL to the list. Now, for some consistency, please.

Comrie should move much better laterally -- he's 6'1" 175# to UPL's 6'5" 217#. But, UPL shouldn't be sliding around as much with that frame, he's already there.

Very pleased with his game tonight. Now, how will he handle teams after they get a dozen games of video on him... this is where the fun begins.

Primeau fakes to Gratton, then doodles around the goalie and buries it!

Any idea who we could get for Gratton in a trade?

[bunomatic]

Great game. Looked like the boys toyed with the blues for the most part. UPL played a great game. Quinn finally broke through. The Cozens line is a thing of beauty. Krebb ? Well, he looked like a boy among men at times. I’m hoping he gets it soon. Nice win goat heads. !

[North Buffalo]

Controlling 5ks sliding he needs to work on... almost as if his momentum causes him to go to far... maybe put some stickum in a spot on each pad so he can stop..

Holzinger and Sarich and Primeau?

I grew up watching the Sabres in the early 2000s. If they told me they were wearing these jerseys every game I’d watch every game.

More Samuelsson less Bryson.  Easy formula 

[Thorner]

Samuelsson’s deal looking like a good one and a pretty slick call to go LT that soon. Probably the correct value sweet spot too, as he appears to have a significant affect on our D and at the same time hasn’t registered a point this season. 
 

So, had we waited, I don’t think his deal would have gone up extravagantly as points pay the most, but we certainly saved some and more importantly - the bullseye evaluation is what gives promise
