Mmm
Sometimes when the Sabres win these types of games I sometimes get caught thinking "not a pretty win" or "we were lucky to win" - almost as a defensive mechanism not to get excited.
But honestly I just think that is where the league is at. I watch a lot of Leafs games and I can say that much of their wins over the past 8 plus years have been tight or hairy. I have seen a lot of Tampa games where their goalie bailed them out. Each team has an amount of skill where in certain portions of the game that they can take over, even the worst of teams.
I think it does say something about this team that we keep fighting back. Even in some of our losses like against the scumbag Canadians, we came back enough to win but blew it. Every game I am finding new things that seem different this year than the past nonsense we have dealt with that makes me hopeful that we will have playoffs to watch this year.

Kudos to Lindt Ruff btw, I think his stamp in nearly on this team.
Also I'm unsure why we put Optimus Reim on waivers from the beginning
Knowing Buffalo, Wednesday night is going to be people f***ing rocked. WNY's biggest bar night of the year and a Sabres home game? Rocked.

I mean I don't think hes ahead of Askarov in potential and even the Sharks have been keeping him down, only reason he played the other day was due to injuries. Goalies take time. Levi shouldn't take it as a slight.. He sucked in the NHL. He needs time in the AHL..
Glad my original post of the Sabres being gassed didn't get published.
Something good kicked in 3rd period and they looked like a different team.
Reimer with the behind the back glove catch was highlite reel worthy.

Well said. These are the types of games I feel like we lose in the past. Baby steps, but I’m encouraged.
Oh, and Kulich looks good. Krebs good. Cozens good. Byram has quietly been what we woulda hoped for. Benson. Lotta good, ignore that 2nd! Thanks Reimer.

Buffalo Sabres, Carolina Panthers fan
Feels pretty good that we can hopefully have one our 3 premier defenseman go off in any game and it will make a difference.
That was a quality win. San Jose may have a bad record overall but after their horrendous start they have been playing much better the past month or so. That and the 2nd of back to backs in less than 24 hours, while traveling…..and without their best offensive player.
This team is trending up.

These guys deserve it and the crowd deserves to see a big fan win too. Let’s make it 4.
Kaprisov didn’t play today, not hoping for an injury but hoping Minnesota is very careful and takes their time bringing him back!

This feels like something that is both completely impossible yet incredibly easy to understand why that is.
Every penalty he takes comes at the worst time you’ve ever seen someone take a penalty so you never forget you saw it.
Every penalty he draws just puts our PP out there which by definition is the least memorable event in the world.
Rewatching earlier parts of the game, thinking that maybe Bryson is the next defenseman who gets a night off.

True - but you could tell they were really tired for much of that game - which makes the win even better, IMO
yep - I would
EDIT: The numbers don't lie
