GDT: Panthers at Sabres, 7:00 PM EDT

[GrierIsGod123]

Throwback to when greenway was deemed too slow for this roster...

Really never understood it. That really chews into Chad's credibility. Greenway is a hell of a hockey player and was one of their more consistent players last season. Guys like him are all over playoff rosters. Getting our 2nd line figured out is a much much larger concern.

 

[Ace]

The brightest spot of the season is that the Sabres are 4 for 4 in goalies giving them every chance to win.

Fix the f***ing power play and win more of them

 

[sabremike]

Great job in the 3rd period, killed the game off in an efficient manner. Very encouraging performance after Thursday's debacle.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Happy to get the win. Unexpected. And fortunate that the Panthers were missing their 2 top players and put their back up in net.
Did anyone predict that?

I'll take the win however.

 

[K8fool]

Good win, strong game.. hopefully they can build off this and stay hungry.

Stick it up sids asz and everyone here can relax. I’ll be able to be lazy and just read the positive wonderful insights here at hf land.

 

[oldgoalie]

Gotta fix that Powerplay. It’s killing them.

 

[K8fool]

Of all the people who could’ve gotten the EN goal…this was not my first choice.

Touch has played two great games. So what gives?

 

[sabremike]

Don't thank me, thank @SECRET SQUIRREL .

Thanks though.

And you did it without using a performance enhancing drug (HF26).

 

[Ace]

The only way Dylan Cozens should see the ice on another power play is if he’s still down on it from having drawn the penalty and the refs drop it too quick

 

[Mike McDermott]

So we’re 4-0 on the last 4 games I’ve attended in person. So clearly the answer is just having me attend every game the rest of the season.

So start a collection for my travel expenses, game tickets and a salary so we win every game the rest of the season.

 

[KiwiGriff]

I've been stripping wallpaper so not monitoring the boards. I'm glad I left the hockey on and didn't switch to the V8s.

First win of the season. Good to get that done. Win the next two, then we can pretend like the first six games didn't exist and that we sre starting from scratch.

This. Love boring technically sound hockey up two. Beautiful. Great win tonight. Two solid performances at home w some consistent hitting.

Still think the easy fix is starting what is PP2 and giving them the 70/30 on PPTOI right now.

We’ll what’s the fun in that. Never. ? Cmon.

They’ve definitely had the better entries and opportunities.

I've got at least 50 cents I can pledge.

 

[CrazyWayne]

Keep playing like this, going hard to the net, hard to the corners, keeping sticks on sticks in the defensive zone

Very winnable games coming up and hopefully we forget about those first two games against new Jersey

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Going into tonight Sabres lead the league in hits (barely) and hit goal posts (by a fair amount). Which is kinda interesting.

Sometimes adversity is the best w a new coach , scheme, identity. Hopefully nobody wants to play here. Ta chooke. Bless you . Get well so beck can play more

 

[DapperCam]

I think we've proven tonight that we can beat a bad goalie convincingly. Lucky for us, there are a lot of bad goalies getting starts in the NHL.

 

[old kummelweck]

Greenway turned this game around. Deserved the first star.

 

[Chainshot]

The stick details are there. Guys are putting bodies on bodies a lot more. There is some forecheck into established zone time, especially by the McLeod line. Feels like the PK has gotten better even if they have given up 2 PPGA through four games.

 

[sabremike]

Don't know about you guys but I'm celebrating with a nice venti sized giraffe milk vanilla latte:

I’m still seeing sick checks where they could be rubbing someone into the boards, but definitely looking better.

 

[Chainshot]

Three stars -

Greenway first
Jokihaju second
Samuelsson third
