Tage stays on this heater, 50 ain't outta the question.

Nice win 

[Standing Room Smoking Cigs]

Tage is the Bruins "Huckleberry"

[Stads]

Much better defensive effort. Didn't make UPL have to do much

[Big Guava]

Sabres now have 3 more goals scored than the Leafs, who lead the division, in the same amount of games played.

Problem is, they've also allowed 47 more goals as well.

That’s the problem when you have drilled into your young players head offense, offense, offense.  When you want them to play defense they have a hard time. Plus they ride UPL for way too long

This has been a fun heater to watch.

I find Sabres wins are a lot more fun then losses😜😁

Tage is more heated about 50 than the team reaching 90

Analytics on the game.

Another great game for Tage's numbers, another awful game for Quinn.

Its not just Tage's goals.....even shots and possession that line dominated:

Benson-Kulich-Thompson: +29.4 Corsi, +19.6 Fenwick, +26.5 shots (outshot the Bruins 13 to 4 when on the ice), expected goals +27.5, Scoring chances +38.9 (They had 16 scoring chances, they allowed 2), High danger chances +25.

Peterka-McLeod-Quinn FINALLY broken up after being disasterous for the first few minutes together: Corsi -16.6, Fenwick -12.5, shots -31.5, expected goals -33.5, scoring chances -26 (all numbers relative to a 50-50 split being even)

Peterka-McLeod-Tuch:  Corsi +12.5, Fenwick even, Shots +7.1, expected goals +20.8, scoring chances +30.

Quinn was moved to a line with Krebs and that line was only together for a few minutes, but their numbers were decent. Negative Corsi, Positive Fenwick, Even in shots, positive exptected goals, negative scoring chances allowed.

Taking out actual goals and looking at shots/expected goals and high danger chances, the Tage-Benson-Kulich line continues to dominate game after game.  Quinn..is still an issue.  Whatever line he is on is gets worse once he joins it, and the line he leaves tends to get better once he is gone...game after game.  He needs to get better in his overall game (yes, that sounds like a broken record but its true game after game)...he is becoming the 'new Cozens' of this team.

If I would have worn that thing in the early 90s I would have gotten the ***** kicked out of me.

Nobody tanks better than the Bruins.

I'm tellin' ya, when the Sabres are good, a decent chunk of that will be Krebs.  And people will look back and say the development of Tage into an offensive star and Krebs into a solid 2-way center will be the biggest contributions Donny Meatballs made to the team.

They're not even in the same ballpark, of the same league, on the same continent as the 2015 Sabres.

Do love winning, after a slow 1st the Sabres gave Boston a beating and that was fun to see. Zucker’s goal was hilarious 

[GASabresIUFAN]

The Bruins have Jokiharju and were playing their backup goalie.  

Their D was like watching the Sabres.  Terrible positioning.  Terrible decision making and terrible in zone processing.  

Kulich, Thompson and Benson look like the real deal.  I love watching Benson dig out pucks in the corner and look for Thompson.  Such a pleasure to watch someone who actually know how to play hockey and gives the requisite effort.
