Eleven Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 Through two: 1. The Sabres are playing as physical as anybody. If we can bury, for now, the myth that the Sabres can't/won't/don't play a physical game, I for one would appreciate it. 2. For the second game in three, they are being "goalied." Expect more of this as more teams get used to the fact that the Sabres have a scoring machine in the form of Thompson and play their starters rather than backups. 3. The defense actually looks ok. 4. But they're losing. 1 Quote
JohninMinn. Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 This team is built for Europe. 😅 Quote
Pimlach Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 Well, we fell behind by another goal. Panthers keeping us off the board. We need a monster 3rd period. Quote

Screw that I've been waiting for this team to stop playing like choir boys for long enough. They dont have the mules for it. Getting caved in every fight isn't gonna help them. Florida has acquired those playoff types because they believe their window is open now. The Sabres window is still a ways away. The boys are developing nicely with potential upgraded replacements on the way. Quote

Hitting, toughness, aggression, agitation. More shooters and puck movers. Sigh. 1 Quote

kas23 Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 UPL is having a good game. He needs some offense though. Quote

There's always that type of player available in trade and the Sabres have plenty that teams will like in return. Some day. Quote

Eleven Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 Forget what I said about the defense playing okay, please. That was horrible. Can't Jokiharju get all the way down? Quote
