Yep. Only took a minimum of five goals scored.

I refuse to indulge your UPL crusade any more. 

The team that gives up fewer goals wins.

[bunomatic]

Most excellent. Did Cozens get the Gordie Howe hat trick as well as the regular hat trick ?

[Gatorman0519]

Great win with two key guys out 

[FanaticSense06]

Nice game from the Sabres, this team is going to be scary over the next few years, only more reinforcements coming in a bunch of prospects that are doing very well in the AHL or juniors.

[Carmel Corn]

Next up, the Blue Jackets....who happen to be leading the Wild 2-0 after 2 periods.  Really important not to look past any opponent.

Dan said no one would want to fight Krebs in this day and age. Not sure what he meant by that. Is he some kind of Ninja MMA psycho?

Keens has Moxie. He is not a fighter, of course

I dunno who needs to go down once Tuch gets back, but it probably should not be Hinostroza.

I think he can stay up after the trade deadline, no 23 man roster limit.

Cozens gotta be #1

Nah. 

i thought about it but Hinostroza got goal 5 aka the game winning goal so AFAIK Cozens didn’t have any key goals

WRONG. Cuz #1

[DarthEbriate]

We now know the Sabres can defeat a slow, veteran team on back-to-back legs. That's the easy part. Stepping up without Dahlin or Tuch? That's the important part.

Now, go win a game without wearing the goatheads. Keep on the attack.

[Taro T]

So Yoda was wrong. When wearing Sith clothes always there are a multiple of 6 goals. Not true, unless being multiplied by 7/6. ;)

Sure did. Oshie had a Howetrick yesterday vs the Rags. Dylan said step aside old man. I got me a regular hat trick and a Howetrick.

[LGR4GM]

 

[Flashsabre]

Massive Character win today.

Quinn, Hinny stepping up their game. Cozens is a heart and soul guy. Krebs is really coming on.

[K-9]

Every leader on this team stepped up today in a big way and the rest of the boys followed that lead. And don’t look now, but it appears Quinn is figuring it out.

For today's NHL probably.  He didn't get a fight but did get a double minor for roughing.

[PerreaultForever]

Cozens really brought it today. I really loved seeing how even after a hat trick he was still focused and looking at a white board trying to get better. He just lives, eats and breaths hockey. Still my choice for captain next year although I know it'll be Dahlin. We missed Dahlin today. Some huge defensive lapses and errors and the lack of D depth is still a problem. Fingers crossed he's back soon. 

Quinn stepped up and if he keeps playing like that he will win me over. All the young guys on this team seem to get it. True hockey players, not divas. 

You could see the quit in Washington after we scored the 7th goal. They are done. Shell of what they were.

Now on the negative, although possession is important we have to stop those blind drop back passes. One almost cost us and one did. Just dumb stupid plays. Sometimes it's better to just shoot it in and go forecheck, especially against an old team with a weak D. I hope Granato takes them to town on this. It has to stop.

Speaking of Granato, second game in a row with an animated fired up coach. Love it. You know he can taste playoffs and he wants it. It's not just teaching any more, he wants it. They all want it. 

Gentlemen and ladies, it's been a long decade, but I think we finally  have a hockey team.

Sabres overtake the Bruins in Goals For with 220.  Both with 58 games played.

10 behind Edmonton with 2 games in hand.

Who had that bet in Vegas!

[matter2003]

Sabres are feeling it offensively again after struggling for a little bit...

Even against Florida when they only scored three, it could have easily been 5 or 6 with the chances they had.
