Before i rolled in, they thought it was against decorum to shout and scream. I , OTOH, don't know what decorum is!!! So once I started yelling at the ref and chanting Lets go Buffalo..they said damn, he is doing it, guess its okay for me to cheer too!! So what you are saying is that when you rabble rouse it can become contagious? You are a natural leader. You have that IT factor which makes the masses want to follow! 1
Jrb1979 Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 9 straight wins and everyone in Buffalo wants to talk about a rookie QB on a team thats 3 and 7.
4merper4mer Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 Um. Wow? I think I was wrong about Thompson. 1

How many more wins will it take for most people in Buffalo to take notice. All I am saying is that people need to start paying more attention to a winning team.
JohnC Posted November 25, 2018 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

The city is going nuts over the Sabres.

I don’t know man... everyone I talk to in real life are all about the Sabres right now. I’d you are talking about on this forum specifically, it’s a Buffalo Bills forum. 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!

Alaska Darin Posted November 25, 2018 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

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.

Buffalo pretty much invented the "arena is so sold out that 1000s of fans are going to watch the game together outside" thing that everyone else is currently copying. The team has been brutal for almost a decade...historically bad. They're going to own the region the rest of this season and every winter for the next decade, unless Josh Allen quickly becomes the real deal. We love competitive teams and we support them like no one else does. 2
