Re: 2022-2023 Sabres Thread

Didn’t see the whole game- just the highlights. But Tuch and Tage are the real deal and Comrie can play. Middlestadt with the shortie was nice too. Dahlin… wtf? 4 goals in 4 games for a defenseman is ridiculous.

I don’t expect great things this season. The team is too young and lacks elite talent. But they are fun to watch and good enough to make it intersecting.

Re: 2022-2023 Sabres Thread

Awesome game last night. No one @ NHLN thought the Sabres would win this one (before the game started). Dahlin sets NHL record for defenseman with 4th goal in 4 games to start the season (no NHL defenseman has ever done that).

Dahlin LEADS the NHL in +/- at +6 now.

Granato sat Quinn and put Hinostroza in @ the Edmonton game. He had 3 helpers last night, the best of which sprung Mittelstadt who scored a back-handed, short-handed goal to make it 3-1 at the end of the 1st. Hinostroza & Mittelstadt's best game so far.

And.... Alex Tuch gets the hat trick.

The Sabres had Calgary pull their goalie after the end of the first period, but the Sabres scored 3 against each guy.

Eric Comrie wins road back-to-back starts. He is the FIRST SABRES GOALIE EVER to win 40 save back-to-back games. Take that Hasek/Miller/Crozier et al.

This looks like it is becoming Tuch's team. He fits the leader role really well.

In my youth, the Sabres would go out West for 3 games and lose all of them. Most every time.

Cromrie played well again. Bad giveaway right in front of him and a ref kicks a puck right to a Calgary player in the slot by accident.

40 + saves again shows the Sabres still need to work on their D, in spite of the 3-1 record.

I didn't expect great things either but we may be underestimating them. They look capable of competing for a playoff spot. I know I know. It's early and you have to see it first as do I. Maybe they don't lack elite talent. Maybe it's just young.

That annoyed me. There was nothing Comrie could do on that play. But IIRC the score was 3-1 at that point. Sabres were on the verge of a knockout blow but that allowed Calgary to stay in the game a little longer.

Ref and linesmen are part of the playing surface, but I get it. Definitely sucked

While Tuch is on fire, and hopefully Thompson is on the come, Skinner has done nothing. Have to get him going.

Skinner is playing hurt, I’ve been watching his face & he’s not smiling or laughing. He has a pain look on his face.

I haven't read that he was injured. He seems to be skating fine.

Re: 2022-2023 Sabres Thread

We are abusing the Canucks, it’s 5-1 now. No mercy.

Re: 2022-2023 Sabres Thread

I hadn't stayed up for west coast games in years. I was looking forward to that game all day. They're fun to watch.

Wow ! Early to bed guy will watch the replay this morning. Awesome !

Re: 2022-2023 Sabres Thread

I struggled to stay up. LOL. Getting older catches up sometimes. Canucks did not look good. Got boos all game. Very loud boos.

The Sabres (Girgenson) scored an empty net goal at ~ 3:49 left to play. The Canucks put their goaltende back in then the Sabres scored AGAIN (Olofsson). The Canucks looked listless, especially in the 3rd period.

Craig Anderson looked all of 27 years old.

Here are the highlights.

Re: 2022-2023 Sabres Thread

You're seeing the Sabres take some tough angle shots on net that they were avoiding before (they play catch in that wide box that drive you nuts usually).

Peterka anchoring himself in front of the net. Tuch also. The Sabres have needed that for the past several years.
