Re: 2022-2023 Sabres Thread

UPL's best game this year, IMO. He still struggles with rebounds but must work through it. Sabres outshot 41-21 but made the most of their opportunities early.

Went up 2-0 quickly with Tage and Tuch staying hot. Colorado started throwing a ton of shots on net while crowding the crease. They were pressing, instead of the Sabres.

D-men were shorthanded with Power hurt in pre-game and going with only 5 on the back line. Lyubushkin and Bryson on the trip but also too injured to go.

Major confidence builder.... Still have lots to work on. Losing a vast majority of faceoffs. I think Colorado had a 48-21 advantage. Ugh.. Back to .500

Tonight is a pretty big one. Can't fight to get back to mediocre and then fall back against a team they should beat. I hate to say something is a must win in mid December, but that's exactly what this game is.

Only five points back of the Isles for the last wildcard spot. Arizona is pretty good at home*

Still. Gotta win.

It's a statistical fact that teams in a playoff position at Thanksgiving make the postseason over 3/4s of the time. Hard to believe, but that's a fact.

Since we are well past thanksgiving, the sabres would have to be an anomaly.

Basically, gotta win. Get above water. And make some noise

Re: 2022-2023 Sabres Thread

I agree. Can't lose this game if they are serious about sneaking into the playoffs. They have to string together some wins. That 8 game losing streak was a killer.

Not a good start

Edit: and they tie it!

Here's something interesting: Anyone notice how good, record-wise, the Sabres are when Mattias Samuelsson IS in the lineup compared to when he's NOT?
