Exciting 3rd period.  The kids played better in breaking the losing streak.  Had to work to get the win.  Fun game to watch.

 

[Indabuff]

Solid win

[GASabresIUFAN]

Why didn’t DG call his TO after either icing?

[Stads]

UPL, just make the easy saves and I can trust you. Please, just make the routine saves. I beg of you

[Eleven]

Only got to see the third again.  KO's goal was a thing of beauty.  Lukkonen was great in the last two mins.

Dare I say that the Sabres played a great road game and ground the Preds down.

They skated circles around them. It was embarrassing actually how slow they looked. Reminded me of the old Flyers against the Sabres in that playoff series.

HUGE, HUGE, HUGE win. End the losing streak, overcome adversity to whoop them in the third period in their own barn. HUGE.

Nashville broadcast is so annoying...they keep cutting the screen down to go to some dude who is going around the building in the crowd and talking to people...it's like show the freaking game!

OMG. Yes, I've never seen a more obnoxious hockey game broadcast. 

[PromoTheRobot]

Goalie #1!

[SwampD]

That was awesome.

DG: "What? Oops, I totally forgot I could do that."

Power going to be a beast.   Him and Dahlin going to play 23+ minutes a night a lot for us.

[DarthEbriate]

Good win. The 7s line looked good in both zones. Tage made a great assist on Skinner's lovely goal, but otherwise couldn't possess the puck or unleash the shot tonight. The Kids are rejuvenated. Girgs and Krebs back in the lineup is important though, because Asplund and Hino didn't generate the pressure/cycling that those two do with Okposo.

On defense... I'm ready for Clague back in over Bryson.

The Sabres really came back after the late-second period letdown.  UPL finished very, very strong in the third.  For most of this game, we were flying and the Preds had little answer for it.  It wasn't pretty at times, but I'll take getting back on track with a win.

Way to steer your way out of that skid boys!

UPL didn’t have his best night, but he made the big saves… and the team plays well in front of him… He feeds off their confidence in him, I think

Both over 25 tonight.  Power with about 10 seconds more.

Yes.  I counted.

[Norcal]

Happy Birthday JJP

I like the balanced scoring, the return of The Kids. 
 

Terry Crisp is doing the post game for the Preds.  He was a really good Buffalo Bison in the AHL, then a solid member of the Flyers cup teams.  

[SwampD]

Casey looks better and better every game. I really hope it continues.

I didn’t see the Sabres getting outmuscled at any point in the game, contrary to a bunch of comments made here.

The number of hits in a game may not correlate to winning, but a big hit sure seems to make a difference on a given play (not unlike a face off win when you need it).

UPL just finds ways to contribute to the wins.

It wasn’t perfect but a big win.

Kid line was good, Quinn was knocked around a lot, it was good to see him bag one.

Mitts and VO played well, getting some mojo going now.

KO goal was a great tip and Boosh made a nice pass.

They’re back on the rails, keep it up.

He can't.
