That was fun. Seemed like the good old days. Now add to that consecutive win column please. Bottle that good feeling and do it again.

That’s not their current one?

They are rotating a few songs this year I believe

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.

Exactly. I’m not trying to pile on Donny or be a downer after a huge win. I’m dead serious when I say you see just how amazing this club can be at their best. Just imagine them under a coaching staff that actually has the ability to bring this out of them far more often and enough to be a winning, playoff caliber team. This current staff has proven they can’t get this type of consistent play out of this team. It’s going to continue to be one step forward, one step back. And that will not get Buffalo into the playoffs.

You were so right about him

[repster]

Merry Christmas Sabres fans!

Tonight, Santa was bearing gifts dressed in white and blue!

Dr. Jekyll was in the house as well and he was wearing his best blue and gold!

Happy Holidays to all, and to all we want ten!

Seriously though, thank-you Leafs, we appreciate you.

To our Sabres, that was a nice way to bring the entire family back together.

Playing the old Leaves goal song,…

Absolutely brilliant.

Can someone please give this Bi-Polar Team their meds before the game on Saturday?

Also the best forward without the puck. At 18, a little over 20 games into his NHL career.

Extremely impressive.

[K-9]

According to Dahlin, they did it for Donnie G. Hmm.

[sabresouth]

Coaching staff just needs to get out of the way and let them play wide open hockey. At least it's fun to watch 

[Indabuff]

I still have a problem with nearly everyone bailing after the last game.

Honestly, I want that Jeff Skinner when we’re down 2 in the second or third period also. Don’t just be a front-runner, Jeff.

Just some quick thoughts on this game. Toronto's goaltending was one of the worst I have seen this season. The Sabres took advantage by shooting the puck on net. We didn't do that enough against Columbus. 

I would give Okposo the first star. 

Our first line with Tuch/Tompson/Skinner was terrific. Tuch did the intangibles that made this line click. 

This was Clifton's best game. 

I don't know what Mitts stats were but I thought he played well. He was nifty with the puck.

Quinn seemed to move a little better with more quickness. JJP made a terrific pass to Quinn for his goal. JJP is getting better and better.

This game means little if there isn't a follow-up. Elevating its play against the better teams while lowering its play against lesser teams is an exasperating flaw that has sabotaged this season. 

Skinner's value to this team beyond his goal scoring is that he adds a spark to the team. 

This team needs to string some wins together to get back into the playoff hunt. I hope it's not too late. There are so many teams that we need to jump ahead of. 

I know there were a lot of Toronto fans in the building. But regardless which fans are in the seats there is a tremendous amount of energy when the building is full.

I don't possess that eye for prospects.  Nice to see someone you felt strongly about, coming through.  I get intrigued when posters like you get that way about a player.

Maybe they should do it for themselves.
