Buffalo Sabres and NHL 2023-2024

[Mike in Horseheads]

Owen Power was a stellar -5 performance last night. Being on the ice for every goal against is not good.

Power has not looked good in the last few games. He's given up the puck, passing is sloppy and Wednesday proved is actually slower than I thought.

Sabres look a lot better tonite. It took them until about 6 mins left in the first, but I like the end of that period and most of the 2nd. The short handed goal seemed to have gotten them on track. Passing is much better. 

[QCity]

That should get a few fans off the ledge. A few.

They saved my life!

Back to  .500 and beat the hockey evil empire in their barn, nice win

[BillsPride12]

I'm happy they won and they played a good game but it's still frustrating to me at this point they are still only playing .500 hockey....and they have the same problem the Bills offense has this year in that when they are off, they aren't just a little bit off but flat out terrible and uncompetitive.

They are a tremendously talented roster. But as a team, they have inexplicable ups/downs.

 

I attribute the swings to coaching. Granato sets the tone, or at least he should be. I know people like him, but he's merely an average coach.

 

I forgive Pegula for hiring him--quality coaches weren't beating down his door. Fast-forward a couple years to today: is there a way to bring in someone better than Granato?

I've been happy with Granato overall since he's been here but this is the first time I am starting to question if maybe he isn't the guy.  I just can't believe how inconsistent and flat they have looked at times this year.  This team should be beyond those type of games at this point.  There's still a long season to go so hopefully they get it going sooner than later.  Don't think Pegula is cutting ties with Granato anytime soon so we gotta hope he is still the right guy for the job

I am not feeling overly optimistic about getting a win tonight. The Sabres haven’t won an away game against Carolina since 2016!

This is one of those teams that gives the Sabres fits.

 

edit - they lost in OT.

 

At least they got a point.

I thought overall was a solid game around. Still not sure why UPL didn't cover the puck in overtime there, looked like he had a chance. But nice to get a point on the road against a good team

[eball]

I was at the game…it wasn’t like days of old with tons of Sabres fans.  The Canes have a solid following now.  Good action and a solid point.

[4merper4mer]

25 starting OT while 26 is on the bench is D-U-M dumb.

[Gregg]

Sabres are now worth 900 million. Terry bought them for 189 million.

thanks!

 

I tried it using the original x.com link (posted it and hit enter) and also tried it when I changed it to Twitter.com 

 

is it different on mobile? (I’m using an iPad) 

 

it used to work for me then it stopped when it changed to x.com. Then I was able to get that to work for a while by changing it to Twitter.com and hitting enter. But now none of the methods I try seem to work anymore.

[QCity]

I'm really not one to complain about the refs, but where the heck was the consistency in that game?

[billsfanmiamioh]

Levi looked good, glad they hung on. 

[Bray Wyatt]

Levi was really good tonight, refs were something else but it didn't end of mattering. Peterka is coming along nicely, hope tuch is back soon
