I just hope they don't have a "flip the switch mentality" next year. I much prefer the military quote that goes something like "we don't rise to the occasion, we sink to our level of preparation"

And mad I said I wanted John Tavares to get pregnant so he would miss rest of season making our Pick we got for Vanek better
Boy if ever Tage wanted to get hot, this is it. If Tage and Tuch get a little 2023 season in them there’s a chance.
Yeah, great game and nice streak. Most NHL teams have nice little streaks.
I feel no different now than I did a month ago.

Definitely saw a lot of that 'flip the switch' thing early on. I think the term multiple players and Granato were using was 'runway'. Lots of runway, it's a long runway, throughout Oct Nov Dec. It was Clifton who said, 'just have to get to .500.' That has to change. It has to be 'damn, we have to start playing consistently better, now!' It comes down to leadership and coaching imo.
If they win at Detroit next game, it wouldn't be just some little streak...it would be the longest win streak of the SEASON! An entire four games in a row, never before seen by a Sabres club in 2024!!!
If there's a better way at being mediocre, I have yet to see it.

They have looked dominant the past 2 important games. They also played 2 teams returning from the west coast.
Tomorrow afternoon could be more of a test and I fully expect the wings to goon it up at home if the Sabres are controlling play again. Buffalo has sometimes responded well and sometimes not against physical play.

Mmm
The two games against the Capitals and Red Wings, and the one against Philly are must wins. A single loss there and my hope is extinguished.
Other than that we can just pray that we win the majority while the other teams continue their free fall.
Ride UPL like there is no tomorrow.

Can’t wait to see Bensons phantom penalties tomorrow.

Pegula boutht the team, and they began playing with an energy that was lacking all season. Does anyone remember how far out of it they were to start Feb? I was just thinking about it the other day. Don't ask me why...
Obviously by my user name I live in Florida.....had 4 nephews (22-25 years old - 1 back visiting from Marines) come over for beer, wings and pizza to watch the game. Sat out on the lanai and had a fantastic time. Best game I've seen in quite a while.
The dynamic the triple threat on D is giving this team hasn't been seen in again, quite a while!
JJ stood out, UPL was very good but wasn't peppered. Where has the "there is the puck, go 'balls out' and get" mentality been?!?!?!

hell's a gigawatt?
Looks like Pegula was announced as owner in late february and the team went on a run right after that. That's part research and part my crappy memory. So grains of salt are required.

I've been trying to not be so negative but I don't know how they couldn't play even close to this level for most of the season
That's where veteran teams find ways to manufacture wins, winning when they aren't 100%, are riddled with illness, or are just in the doldrums. Buffalo is still very young and the highs are joyful, manic rides while the lows are crushing. We can hope they're moving toward being more mature about how they play but they're still a very, very young team.
Officiating was a shit show yet again. I thought the refs got their Benson hate out of their systems with that hooking call, but then they out-did themselves with the tripping call.
Watching Roy bitch about the interference call on Lee and complain about the lost challenge was really something too. That was the worst goal challenge I've ever seen.

I just wish they could be more cool and cruel. They get way too emotional. I want them to inflict calculated pain instead.
We really need some high functioning sociopaths.

Oh, I forgot a U:
One of the Isles booth boys was a huge baby. He must've called Olofsson's goal lucky 3 or 4 times. He said he felt bad for the team on the PP goal against, and I thought theyre not feeling bad for themselves, so why are you?
He also complained any time an Islander fell with no penalty called. Due to watching streams, Ive watched quite a few away feeds. This one was one of the cringiest. Nashville, if I remember correctly, was one of my favorites. They know their stuff.
