Little bit of an offensive breakout the last 40 minutes. Let's hope they FINALLY get it going.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sure they'll lose 5-1 to Pitts.

Jeff Skinner is Wayne Gretzky in Montreal😄

This game is in the bag, it's ours!!!!

 

Ya, today is a good day to.....

Collect my milk money

[Sabres73]

I'm hoping Quinn getting back, TNT getting healthy as well as a pretty healthy lineup overall has now got us going. We have a pretty light schedule coming up. Keep the wins comin'

[ExWNYer]

 It was nice to hear boos at the end of a Sabres game in a venue other than their own. 😂

Way better than when he first got here. His passing is way better now

Some of his passes at the end of last year were elite

I have a fight VHS tapes from the 80's with all of the Sabres fights and probably half are Kevin Maquire fighting Bruce Shoebottom, Bob Probert and Toni Twist lol

[RochesterExpat]

Samuelsson and Clifton was interesting.

[Pimlach]

Levi with a lot of big saves.  Could have been a different game but he kept us in, then the goals came. 
 

I don’t like the way this team plays with a lead, they haven’t had it much, they have to learn how to shut down an opponent and limit their chances.

If the Sabres do not score the first goal, I'd fire Granato during the first intermission. 

Actually, if the Sabres don't win the entirety of their remaining games, I'd fire Granato. Win the rest of the games or you're FIRED 

How's that for urgency 

 

Wow it worked

So, you're saying letting D play at the level they should be playing allows them to look better than when they're in over their heads?  Who knew?

[WhenWillItEnd66]

An actual fun game to watch. Nice to see some confidence growing as the game wore on.  As always,  can they keep it going......

[Taro T]

Nice to see them get solid goaltending and a kind of effective PP.  Goes a long way towards making what could be toss up games become W's leaving the other team in the rear view.

So they come back with Levi again next game, right?

[Carmel Corn]

Great game....hoping 2024 turns out much better than the 2023 part of this season.

[JohnC]

Some quick thoughts on this game. Levi gets the first star. He made a number of exceptional stops but what was most impressive is that there were few rebounds. 

Skinner gets the second star. The best pass of the game was his pass to Mitts for a goal. And the best shot of the game was his laser shot for a goal when he was on the side of the net. 

The team was swarming on defense in their zone. The Habs had little room to maneuver because when they got the puck our players were all over them. 

I thought all three of our pairings were good. No weak links.

Tage should buy Skinner a dinner. Skinner took care of him in this game. Our first line played well. 

Quinn has a terrific shot. What's encouraging is that since he returned it appears that his injury has had no lingering effect. 

This team needs to string some wins together to get back into playoff contention. A win is a win. No complaints about this game.

Just because you said this and the Sabres are anything but predictable with goaltending, I expect Comrie to get called up and get the net.

[Indabuff]

Quinn looks like he's 14 years old

Can someone explain how MTL has two guys in the box, and Buffalo has one, and it's even strength? 🤔

It's a 'Canadien' thing...we wouldn't understand.

Cuzzy somehow got a double minor out of getting assaulted and battered.

Curb your enthusiasm there, Cuzzy.

It wasn't exactly a train wreck.  Then again, MTL is not a Cup contender.
