Ever heard of champa bay? I hear that ***** every ***** day. Watched more of the Masters to be honest. 1
Mike in Horseheads Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 Based on that performance they could have at least gave up 7 goals so I covered the over 6.5
BillsFan4 Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 Â Power is definitely stepping into a better situation than Dahlin did. 2

BillsFan4 Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 (edited)   I like this pairing. Power has a lot of offense to his game but he’s not as offensively minded as Dahlin and could help open more of Joker’s offensive game.    I also really like the potential of the Samuelsson-Dahlin pairing. I think Samuelsson could be a great long term D partner for Dahlin. I’ve been wanting to see him with a good defensive defenseman for a while.  Samuelsson has been very impressive in his short time with Buffalo.  edit -  pretty cool. The vibe around this team is so much different than previous years. Edited April 12, 2022 by BillsFan4 3
Bob in Mich Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 Please don’t let Dahlin teach anyone how to play defense.  The guy is marvelous with the puck but his fundamental defensive skills should not be emulated.  In fact maybe Power can teach Dahlin how to play better defense

BillsFan4 Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Great game. I was impressed with Power in his debut. He didn’t look like a rookie playing his first NHL game. That’s impressive, especially for a defenseman. What a play on that 2-on-1 to intercept that pass from Giordano to Matthews! Edited April 13, 2022 by BillsFan4 3
K-9 Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 Loved the Samuelsson/Dahlin pair tonight. Mule is a MAN on the ice and it’s no coincidence that Dahlin found all sorts of room tonight. Joker also played a heckuva game; one of his best this year. 1

BillsPride12 Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 It's amazing how far the Sabres Defense corps has come from a few years ago 2

UPL is probably Ullmark if he hits his ceiling. He's okay as a tandem, I suppose. Need to sign or trade for a veteran. Throw money at Fleury for a few years. I like Kuemper, but he is probably going to want longer term than you'd like and you'll have to overpay. Levi needs a few years to develop and maybe Portillo if he signs. 2
Rockpile233 Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 I hate being petty…..but between the Sabres being watchable and Eichel getting dragged online as Vegas teeters on missing the playoffs I am really enjoying the end to this NHL season!   2 1 1

Kinda makes you pine for the good old days of clutching, grabbing, neutral zone trap unwatchable hockey when goalies were a dime a dozen.
BillsFan4 Posted April 14, 2022 Posted April 14, 2022 Big overtime win for the Amerks tonight! They pretty much had to win that game to stay in playoff position.
