26CornerBlitz Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 From the Locker Room: Sabres-Canadiens   Jeff Skinner and the Sabres continued their remarkable run on Friday, rallying to beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 in overtime. Skinner provided the game-tying and game-winning goals, the latter of which came with the man advantage, giving him a league-leading 17 goals. Casey Mittelstadt opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the season. Hear from Skinner, Mittelstadt and Zach Bogosian after Buffalo's victory.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its definitely a great experience - all sorts of free food and drinks/alcohol etc, but there’s better ways to spend that much money... lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â When the sabres were down in the past you just knew they would lose. Tonight when we went down 2-1 I was I thought we can win this and if the puck didn't go off the post we would have won in regulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The schedule is really loaded with a lot of games in a short time span. It is really compressed. There's not not much time to get the aches and bruises healed. In our recent western trip the Sabres played three games in four days' They then returned home for a short break and now are playing back to back with one home game and won road game. This has become a sport where it is a requirement that rosters be filled with a lot of young legs.  What was not acknowledged too much in the Montreal game was that Skinner's winning goal came off a Dahlin shot that was on net. The young Swede's role has steadily been increased. Already it is fair to say that he is an instrumental player. He's so smooth that you don't notice him as much compared to Eichel and Skinner who are more explosive players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 My first star again goes to our goalie. Ullmark was excellent all game lone and in the shootout he was sparkling. Both of our goalies do not allow chances from rebounds.  This was an even game with the hallmark being fast skating. If your lineup doesn't have in general good speed you won't be able to keep up.  Tage Thompson is emerging as a player. He really is impressive as an offensive threat. He can skate, shoot and his long reach stick handling is nifty. He's also putting in the effort to play tough. I really like the way Housley and his staff have handled the young players. Their steady improvement is a tribute to their coaching.  It doesn't matter what the score is or the situation the Sabres play their game all the way through.  The Sabres have played six games in nine days. That's ridiculous. I'm exhausted!  All the victories in this streak have been against good teams. Maybe only Ottawa would be a second tier team but when we played them they were playing well. The Sabres are winning by playing well and tough. No victory in this streak has anything to do with a fluke. It's all about their play. They earned all their wins.    2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s focused on football.  Two Bills Drive has a sister forum called SabreSpace for all hockey talk. Or check out the Sabres board over at HFboards. Or Go to a game. The (sold out) crowds have been nuts lately!  go Sabres!     Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Ullmark could have fallen apart after that softy but he did the opposite.  I don't know what to do with myself in the shootouts.  Last season if we missed even once, it was a loss. Both of our goalies are playing great in the skills competition.  Scandella had another rough one and the PP still needs work... but you just can't find much to really B word about with this team.  It's alot of games against good teams in a short period of time but the boys just keep finding a way to get 2 points. This is foundation building stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the past few games you can see him play with confidence. He's got terrific offensive skills. What this staff was working on was to get him to play with a quicker pace when he had the puck. He has earned his playing time and it is going to get expanded with him on the PP. The ROR deal looks better and better. Mittelstadt gets bumped up and Thompson shows that he can play, and in addition we got another first round pick in our pocket. Impressive work by the GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
