Billznut Posted November 5, 2023 Report Posted November 5, 2023 Sabres got six out of eight points this week. It certainly wasn’t pretty the last three games but we desperately need the points anyway we can get them. 5 Quote
Big Guava Posted November 5, 2023 Report Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) And the Flyers are getting their ass whooped 5-0 by the Kings tonight. For whatever reason we just don't matchup well with the Flyers...they crushed us the first 2 times we played last year too.. Edited November 5, 2023 by Big Guava 1 1 Quote

Dominate the rest of it Ill say it now, there is NO REASON the Sabres can’t finish ahead of the leafs this season The reason is the Sabres are terrible at home. Until they figure that out I find it hard to believe they can win enough road games to make up for their home incompetence. With that being said they are an elite road team. Why they can't play at home I have no idea...almost like they get too nervous because they want to make the fans happy and don't pay attention to any details.

SABRES 0311 Posted November 5, 2023 Author Report Posted November 5, 2023 Absolutely like how they kept pushing the offense until the final horn. Even after going up by two they still looked to score. I never agreed with a team backing off so as not to embarrass an opponent. You should always look to destroy, demoralize, and embarrass them and their fans. 1 1 Quote

Randall Flagg Posted November 5, 2023 Report Posted November 5, 2023 Fixed the short term trajectory, 3-5 to 6-6 means we won 3 of the last 4. The Flyers in your building should be about a 3/10 on the adversity scale, and the Sabres melted down. The Leafs continuing to punch you in the mouth in their building should be about 9.5/10 on the adversity scale - for whatever their problems are in the playoffs, Toronto is an absolute terror to play in the regular season, they skate as fast and shoot as hard as anyone - and the Sabres just chuckled and punched right back. It's maddening because the team that came tonight is the team we hope can win 50 games. They HAVE to figure out how to do this at home! Nobody played poorly, every Toronto goal did absolutely nothing to change the way our guys played, they were confident every shift. I know part of it is that Toronto can't play as heavy as teams like the Flyers, but there has to be more to it. Tage is a blessing, an incredible player. Mitts is dangerous every time he steps on the ice. I didn't see much of Ryan Johnson but he made a few calm, heady plays under heavy pressure and of course that pass... vintage Tuch on the ENG We've beaten Carolina each of the past two seasons now, after going many years between wins. Bring this effort to that game and you can take those points too. We are 3-0 when Bryson plays and 3-6 when he doesn't 5 Quote

bob_sauve28 Posted November 5, 2023 Report Posted November 5, 2023 Game notes: * Casey looks better every game * Greenway is such a valuable player * JJP is just so good. And he just a kid * We give up a lot of goals but have a great PK * We score a lot of goals but the PP kind of stinks, though it got a G tonight * Tuch and Thompson looked good 1 1 Quote

JohnC Posted November 5, 2023 Report Posted November 5, 2023 Some quick thoughts. It has to be remembered that this intensely played game by the Sabres was the second game on a back to back. It's aggravating that this team struggles to play a similar tough brand of two-way hockey at home. Levi is our #1 goalie. He kept us in the game against a potent Toronto team. JJ is getting better and better. I thought he played really well. Mitts also played well. I thought the key play for us was Tage scoring a short-handed goal. It seemed that every time Toronto scored, we quickly came back and answered with a goal. I don't think that Ryan Johnson got a lot of minutes but he was effective. He kept it simple. He's young but he has a mature game. I like him a lot. The pass of the game was his release pass to Skinner who scored. How can you not be happy for Tuch. He's a good player and a tough player. In general, great effort with the players playing for one another. The Philly loss in front of the home fans still rankles me. 2 Quote

I watched the last 10:30 of 5he game and don’t recall seeing him. The Sabres did not look tired either and they shortened their bench. Quote
