Gregg Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 1 minute ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: Caps are already sellers at the trade deadline. I think they’re ready to fold. I saw that. It was a three-way trade with BOS-WASH-MINN. Pitt would be wise to do the same. It will be difficult for them to make the playoffs with that defense and goaltending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I didnt catch any of last nights game. How did they give up the 2 goal lead in the third? Did they lose composure or allow good goals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other was due to a half assed defensive effort, IMO. Swiping at sticks instead of putting bodies on bodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The Sabres are 25-4 when scoring 4 goals or more. They are 4 - 23 when scoring less than 4 goals. In all 4 of those wins, they scored 3 goals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But man, that ending in OT... Electrifying! Funny because Razor was just talking up Bushkin after the commercial break and saying what a great game he was having, and then a minute later there he goes on the breakaway. 6 hours ago, eball said: Returning to ESPN was huge. It will grow. Yep, the amount of Hockey coverage available on ESPN+ has me watching Hockey every single night. (That and the fact the Sabres are fun to watch again) Major change from the last decade where I barely saw a single game. 7 hours ago, QCity said: Fanbase needed that win. They were on the ledge after that toronto debacle. Going into this 3 game stretch, I thought if we got 1 pt out of Leafs/Lightning and could pull off a win in Miami then it would be a successful series. The Leaf game stunk but last night made up for it, and hopefully we can pull one off against the Panthers tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampas 4 was tough to tell what happened lots of chaos in front of the net with bodies (puck went in right before the net was knocked off) They then tied it up with 5 mins left on a PP goal that Granato was pissed at the too many men on the ice call I thought for the most part they didn’t lose their composure, refs were highly questionable this game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I have to believe the Sabres give up more odd man rushes than any other team in the league. Edited February 24, 2023 by Beast 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&C Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Pretty wild stat from last night: OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS Ilya Lyubushkin of the @BuffaloSabres is the second NHL defenseman to score an unassisted shorthanded goal in overtime (since goals by strength were first tracked in 1933-34). The other was Ott Heller for the Rangers on February 18, 1937. 10:26 PM · Feb 23, 2023 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the best game he’s played in a Sabres uniform. He looked exactly like the veteran goalie this team has needed. So dialed in and controlled in net. He seemed to calm the Sabres down in their own end and did a great job with rebound control. He made some huge saves for them too! Knowing that this is very likely his last 20 some games before retirement, I say ride him down the stretch if he’s up for it and keeps playing so well. I think he can taste the playoffs and wants one last postseason before he retires. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres PR @SabresPR · 15h Craig Anderson is now the only goaltender in NHL history to record multiple performances of 40 or more saves and one or fewer goals against in a single season at age 41 or older. He is also the oldest goaltender (41 years, 279 days) to record 50 or more saves in a single game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coloradobillsfan Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Unfortunately this thread needs an update. It would seem the obvious callup would be Vinny, but that doesn't mean Sabres social media isn't heating up with talk about Kulich. BTW the NHL IR rules are a minimum 7 days for IR, so it's nothing like NFL, but it still puts him out til after the NHL trade deadline March 3rd Lance Lysowski @LLysowski No formal announcement yet, but the Sabres have placed Alex Tuch on injured reserve. More info to come in the morning. Tuch scored his 28th goal of the season Saturday night in Sunrise. He left in the third period of Buffalo's 3-1 win over Florida.

zow2 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 dang. Not ideal but let’s face it, pretty much every team has to fight through injuries to various players.

BillsFan4 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Red Wings lost last night but the capitals won and so did the penguins. Buffalo needs to win this game to regain their playoff spot. If they lose, I think Washington will temporarily take the 2nd wildcard spot and it will knock Buffalo down below Pittsburgh (unless it’s at OT loss). Right now Pittsburgh holds the final wildcard spot after their most recent win. They are 1pt ahead of Buffalo. But the Sabres still have like 4 games in hand on Washington so even if they lose they still have some breathing room on the Caps. But I’d much prefer to win today! It would be a big win (but that can be said about most remaining games…). Edited February 26, 2023 by BillsFan4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird we are still waiting on the trade details hours later. I wonder if they are trying to get ahold of a player involved in the trade first? Or if there are issues with the trade itself? I guess it came down to Vegas, New Jersey and Carolina with Carolina dropping out last night (or so says Pierre lebrun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
