This squad can win 15 out of 20 and get back into the race.

Do I think they'll do it? No. Not at all. But they are fun from time to time.

They can be a top 3 team in the division if they actually are serious about it and people are willing to do the work to make it happen. 

They can't if they allow this to simply be a good game and go back to their old ways again.

Thank you for spending your money in Buffalo, now get.

Or.  Stay and have dinner or a late night snack.  Right outside the rink are many good watering holes. Spend even more money.  Then go home. 

[SwampD]

I kinda think last game was just what we needed.

[Sabres73]

Tuch with 4 assists

[JohninMinn.]

If we can stay healthy these line combos are 🔥 .

The Sabres are now 8-6 against NHL teams with 38 or more points, 6-11-3 against everyone worse.

 

And it couldn't happen to a better team

38 points is the bar... the cool thing is by about game 50 of the season they'll be winning every game until the Cup!

That is just nuts.  If you are 8-6 against top teams, you should be near the top as well.  We are flat out bad against the bottom 2/3 of the league.

Yup, they simply either don't think they have to work hard in those games or don't bother preparing mentally because they think it will be a cake walk.

 

Really no excuse for it. Clearly they have enough talent to have a much better record than they do, they simply don't have the will to have one.

This win just makes me more upset at this team for how this season is going.

Worry about that tomorrow. Enjoy the dominating win over the Laffs tonight.

First time since 1983 a team has given up 9 and then scored 9 in the next game. 

[kas23]

Can we play the Rangers, Golden Knights, Bruins, or Laughs every night?

[North Buffalo]

PS Samuelson looked pissed he got a cheap penalty was hitting every leaf in sight in the 2nd afterwards

Next two games baby

let's see-

[mjd1001]

1.)  Fun game

2.)  When this team is healthy they are a LOT better than when they were messed up early this year.

3.)  After ANY big win in the past 2 seasons, I thought to myself "hey, they might be ready to turn this around".  I'm just not there tonight.

This was a nice salve on my wounds after sitting in the arena on Tuesday.  This team is capable of so much.

Exactly. Now just imagine them under a real coaching staff. The sky would be the limit. Too bad we will never see it. 

[Quint]

Keep the anger and hate consistent and take it out on the next team, then the next...

Where/How the heck do you find stuff like this???  Thx.

[LGR4GM]

That was, to borrow a phrase, clean old fashioned hate.

Unfortunately, I have been moving in this direction for a while now. Wanted Donny to be the guy, but there is obviously something missing with him and his staff. Not to mention, firing him could be the wakeup call these immature, talented a-holes need.

Good. Goood. Release your anger. Only your hatred... can make up for all the loser points being awarded to Eastern Conference teams on a nightly basis.

[lowsabre]

LOL @ the leafs

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to 9 goals against the leafs
