If it wasn't for Vanek this team couldn't score, your better then that come on.

3 games in a row no pts. Not knocking him he's been great, he just has come back down to earth now

Wins are fun. Especially a convincing one like this. Notice Boston hasnt stirred up anything physically since Scott beat thortons head in?
- Buffalo--Sabres

Even last year, after the Lucic-Miller incident, any "stirring" up has been initiated by Buffalo. That was overblown. It happened. It's over, and I'm pretty sure the Sabres have a winning record against Boston since then.

Miller and Myers SHINE tonight!!
Very much needed victory!

It was bound to happen, I still thought he looked good tonight though. Had that one play where he set up Pominville nicely but he missed high glove side.

Stanley Cup here we come (?)



Nice game though.

Decent first period.

Terrible second period.

Great third period.

Overall a good game.

His intensity level has dropped, it happens with him for stretches. It's what frustrates me the most about Vanek. I really like Hodgsons play lately.

I personally didnt think Vanek looked that good tonight. Didnt look bad. Just didnt look good. A lot of standing around. Not moving his feet. No reason he couldnt get that empty netter.

Trying to be too cute. Teams are checking him closely, needs to just skate hard and play smart and his points will keep coming. Pominville didn't look great tonight either

Hecht role on this team?

Darcy needs to fine a player to play these minutes.

Ryan O'Reilly

Hecht does not have the skill set to play this role, he might be a fine 4th liner?

Darcy won't be trading for ROR now. We won so everyone is untouchable

Yep. Ennis continues to shine. Still cant believe how much crap he gets on these boards.

I cant believe Lindy sat Grigorenko. Kid is never going to develop if hes sitting him for the rest of the game every time he makes a mistake. 2nd goal wasnt even his fault. Hes going to be timid and afraid to make mistakes and not want to touch the puck. This is ridiculous.

Yea I really like Ennis. I would trade him for the right player but he brings a lot. Someone compared him to Afinogenov the other day and I thought that was pretty unfair. I think Grigorenko needs 1st unit PP time and get him some confidence, It's not like they coulod be any worse

Lindy for Evander Kane and Claude Noel.

If Stafford pulls off a few good games in a row, I think a trade for O'Reilly is more realistic. Something like Stafford and Girgensons/Adam & pick/Armia for O'Reilly.

sabres are a solid team but still need a 1st line centre...as a leaf fan, i've learned these don't grow on trees nor will they be moved for a superstar package like komi, connolly and a 7th rounder...who knew?

lindy gave grig's some pp time today. definetly easing him into the NHL.

he does not look like a foward

Hecht = Matt Ellis with a lisp and an accent.

Every time Hecht handles the puck he looks like it's the first time he has ever used a puck before. It is unreal to me how bad he is with the puck.

I think most of the hate comes from a certain user that seems to just hate him and is very overly critical of Ennis. Not going to mention names but he probably knows who he is.

Tim Kennedy has as many goals as Staff this season

- BuffSabs88

Hell yeah. I think Girgensons is the key

Nah listening to Darcy earlier, he sounded like he is trying to make a deal now and even said he's open to a big deal.
