Johnson and Palat also read what I posted about them too.

OT: Lecavalier hat trick.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Sabres have one shot on goal so far this period - the goal.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Palat looks amazing right now

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Great play Johnson!

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Phew haha

Not without some drama...but it's a W! 10 of 14 possible points during the 7 game home stand!!!

 

[Necropolis]

Thank god we won this

 

[LightningStrikes]

We made it harder than it needed to be.

But 2 points are 2 points.

Palat and Johnson are just so good together.

And did it look like we got away with a trip like 5 seconds before that Palat goal?

Unsung hero tonight was Panik. He didn't score a goal, but everything he did had an effect. He ate up space in front of the net well and was strong all game long.

Palat has improved every game this season. He never makes the same mistake twice. I think he's found his way in the game and realizes now that he does belong in the league.

Ok done counting the grey hair.

Nice win.

 

[IdealisticSniper]

These last couple of games are games we would have lost the past few years.

That's what I'm taking away from this.

100% agreed

 

[Maelmoor]

We won a game against a poor team on home ice, as mentioned that wasn't anything granted before but now we do get these points, that's all I can ask for!

Malone has been just awful. Playing alongside Stammer and Marty most of the season and yet managed to score only 4 points. He's slow, can't keep up with the guys and looks like a death big body out there. Looked better on the 2nd line with Val though. I hope Coop will try something like that:

Killorn-Stamkos-Marty
Malone-Filppula-Purcell
Palat-Johnson-Panik

 

[Coopers Gum]

Missed it. Takeaways anyone? I see that Palat had a great game.

He experimented with exactly this in each of the last two games. In my opinion, it worked well. Malone works better with a slower, more methodical line, and Killorn has enough grit to gel with 91/26.
