Tryin' to figure this team out from one game to the next...

Nothing worse the Leafs and their fans!!! Not sure if it is the wine or the leaf tears, but I am loving this!!

I am not fooled in the least by tonight’s performance. Their flaws are on full display tonight. But it’s nice to run in to a team with worse goaltending than ours.

The difference is they are playing better in the offensive zone.  Some games they just don’t show up.  They just aren’t pushed and they don’t have enough self motivated players to overcome that.

This is probably true.  Enjoy the night, if they can hold on here but as Roger Daltry famously said "we won't get fooled again!"

One difference tonight that would go a long way to making their performance more consistent is that they are engaged physically and mentally.

Save that crap for tomorrow.

3 goal lead, the most dangerous lead in Sabres hockey......

[thewookie1]

That corner in our zone must of had a lot of snow seeing as at least 3 pucks died there 

[Scottysabres]

I do wonder if the boys are aiming for 10 to negate that 9 from the other night. If so, against the Leafs, I fully approve 👍

To be fair, this is the first time that the roster is fully healthy (minus Girgs). Gives us line combos that have been more consistent in the past. Hopefully that continues. 

There is an argument to be made that this is a better roster minus Zemgus

Agreed. I'd also like to see a few games of a speed 4th line of Z, Krebs, and JAG Robinson once the Locomotive is back.

[PickaPecaPickles]

I love this team…for now…

[Night Train]

I hardly think this game is decided. I know the Sabres.

NO ALAMO!

Elliott F thinks the leafs can score 4 in the third. Lol

I agree with this.  Not sure who comes out for KO though

You are that confident they can't ?   I know I'm not

I’d like to believe that, but how many times have we been there this season? We’ve seen them be engaged physically and mentally in several games and against the best teams in the league to boot only to see them screw the pooch in following games(s). I appreciate the offensive explosion as much as anyone, but we are woefully deficient on the back end and Levi is showing his own struggles with consistency as well. 

I refuse to believe they will turn a corner until they actually turn a corner.

They scored 5 against the Blue Jackets in the third a few days ago

He is right.  Whether they can do that without yielding at least 1 is another question.

My answer is KO comes out for KO. Some night on a back-to-back when you just want some added speed.

Maybe keep Casey and benson together and see if there is chemistry? 

He's much more offensively, but I think Casey is the Marcus Foligno of this team.  Thoughts?

[JohninMinn.]

They have to come out and play like it's 0-0.
