Boy, what a ***** game from Anderson!

[GASabresIUFAN]

You know Tage has become a great player when he looked off most of the night and still came away with 2 great assists.

@Doohickie, when you get home, please post the Owen Power meme for me 🍺

I could theoretically be in attendance when the Sabres hypothetically move into a playoff spot on Thursday 

Looking forward to my game next month when they could possibly move into the first wildcard slot.

Geeze, watching these Anderson saves on the post game show and damn, our D zone ineptitude is maddening at times. Just gift after gift after gift to the Stars. Anderson stole this game.

Tage gets going again and we get goals from all 4 lines and the defense, all because *I* will be at the game.  Go Sabres!

I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but you really do look like your avatar aged 30 or so years.

Can’t understate how brilliant Anderson was tonight. UPL should be getting a lion’s share of the starts, but it’s nice to have the reliable old man there to come in and play his ass off at 42 years old occasionally. He’s backstopped some really big wins since this team started coming together last February.

That save by Anderson on Kiviranta,  Robertson, Segin, Pavelski, Gurianov, Benn, Hintz was nuts 

FTFY

Not unlike ye olde games of olde where Miller had to keep the team in it for half a period.

I'll take that game. 

 

And you consider how young this team is right now.  So that's an impressive stat, I'm all in, I might not want to gut the roster for a Chychrun trade, but I am definitely on the improve the defense front.

I would have written-All of 45 seconds!

A lot of mistakes can happen after a 45 second shift.

That's what you've got to have if you're going to be a playoff contender. A goalie that can steal a game for you

Woo hoooo

Don’t get your picture up till you complete a game in which you scored a goal

First it was no goal song and now it’s no pic. Then again, he needed neither before tonight.

Glad we went for the W and started the guy who gave us the best shot assuming UPL was being saved for tomorrow. 

Power getting his first is good timing 

Anderson had not played particularly well in January.  Kudos to Granato & Bales for knowing the pulse of the goalie room & giving him the start.

Don't believe UPL would've gotten that win tonight even though he'd been playing better than Andy lately.  Hoping UPL gets the W tomorrow.  Was smart to give him the day of rest today.
