Krebs early on was really active.

Coming out on the right side of a review? What timeline is this?

If he can go on a month-long heater while Tage is out... please and thank you.

Time to let UPL have the starters crease until he falters.

I’ll be even positive and say IF he falters!

 

[enthusiast]

Hey, I’ll take it. Didn’t think they had it in them.

G:
- 2 points and didn't concede a point to the Pens. They will be right there at the end of the year for the wild card.
- Refs didn't give Peterka 4 minutes for getting elbowed in the head.
- UPL wasn't amazing, but was good enough to win. That's really all we need.

B:
- Team still feels very unimpressive. A couple bad giveaways lead to goals against.

U:
- Letang came into this game looking for blood. Why so angry? First he beats on Krebs for no reason, and then he headshots JJP. Chill out dude.

I wonder if he's still PO'd about the hit in the last pre-season game?

Overall I’m still not impressed and don’t see this team improving in terms of the game they’re looking to play now. But they’re finding a way… barely.

So they’re at least keeping themselves alive while they hopefully figure it out eventually.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Please, please, puh-lease ride this momentum. Dont follow it up with a halfass effort.

 

[joshjull]

3 of 4 points going 11/7 and it should have been 4pts.

 

[MOGlLNY]

3 of 4 points going 11/17 and it should have been 4pts.

17? All your defenseman now belong to us.

 

[old kummelweck]

I heard they weren't going to let him on the ice with it. Good for him.

I think tonight is a microcosm of the Sabres and the teams around them. Taking turns being ass and flubbing games.

G:
Olofsson made some way better plays than those he got points from. He looked like the good Olofsson we had for a while when his wrist was hurt.

The Johnsons.

UPL

Peterka was flying out there

Mittelstadt is playing really responsibly. It's holdig back his offense a bit but he cleans up after Skinner and Tuch.

Ugly:
Letang

 

[Matt Ress]

I thought we were clearly the more physical team

Waking up in the 3rd and sending some forecheckers. I wonder if that would work more often.

Solid game from UPL. He's looking dependable.

Let's go ahead and even up our lineup tomorrow

Good
Olofsson best game of his season so far.
Energy in 3 period was unexpected
RyJo looking good
Sabres physical in the 3rd helped turn the tide
Skinner looked ugly out there but got the job done
Tuch in the 3rd period finally showed up
UPL

Bad
Nothing to write today.

Ugly
Time to end the 3 goalie rotation

Mitts forecheck could be best on the team? Future Selke candidate? Maybe not but he is getting real good.

U

Letang punch to the face of Krebs.

I'm shocked the refs didn't f*** them over with that high sticking at the end. I really thought that was gonna be a double minor.

 

[Chainshot]

Don't make dad angry during Thanksgiving.

 

[Ace]

I want to be excited but it’s Girgensons they’re replacing. Rousek has been brutal in his NHL games this year. So maybe there is hope? Does saying f*** it go try and score help the chances of a common sense move here?
