Bye the way Bogo played well tonight. Maybe it is a confidence thing.

Not to rehash all the same crap but guys the Sabres won 3 in a row in comeback fashion, they're starting to play like a team that doesn't quit.

I like it. If they keep playing this way and miss the playoffs I can handle it.

Reinhart Eichel ROR Risto Okposo are true talent. Keep it going

Win or lose, more games like this with consistency would be great.
- kingcong39

Yup, we earned each goal. No horrid goal tending or bad turnovers by the other team, we just bet them

Are you saying that 23 doesn't stink?

- SabreWest




Hahaha... I guess so
But also,
He's constantly making the "smart" plays that u need to win games

I thought these were pretty obvious bc they had direct results in big goals
But he makes plays like that game in & game out

The kid is a really good hockey player

OMG - just saw the O/T goal by Jack for the first time. Unbelievable skill and goal. I think I just wet my shorts.

Still lagging in the standings (gah...figures basically all the teams ahead of them get points tonight...), but these last 3 games are huge for developing this team.

Down in the 3rd, come back to tie and then take them in overtime. Lots of bonding in those types of situations, confidence building, etc.

I say it is the Columbus Day game.
- rmiethaner


That was the last game in Buffalo that I attended. It brought everyone out of their seats. That was a beauty but from what I just saw, this O/T winner might be ahead of it. The Canes O/T winner last year was a thing of beauty too as Stash pointed out.

With the net not touching Lehner it's play on but I thought his shot was deflected, the officials were not the best today
- Stripes77


Foligno got away with not getting an instigator too. It was very borderline. Although I'd be glad if it's deemphasized to only include egregious breaches i.e. coming off the bench, or across more than one line.

He's been decent for 4 or 5 games now.

Problem is I can hear one of his groin muscles tearing from home and he will be out or not the same for 20 games soon enough

Did u see the smart play Reinhart made so that we could keep possession of the puck right before the eichel goal?!
And re-watch the tying goal as well

These 2 points are thanks to Sam

I think all three showed different attributes of his game.

SAMSON - the limits people want to put on him are so ridiculous , dude is getting better, and better, his potential continues to be on an Upward progression for 3 yrs now.

- MEBSabresFAN



Hmmmm I seem to remember having an discussion with someone at around the 15-20 game mark (cough cough, gerbe). About sometimes it just takes these kids some time to develop. agree with you, Sam's just going to Keep getting better and better...

Yes, a very smart play by 23. As you pointed out, those are the little things that most of us miss but obviously the good scouts pick up on.

BTW - after Eichel scored that goal, it was really loud in Nashville. Was there a large contingent of Sabre fans at that game?

3rd line was nice all night. Gus starting to play good. About to blow past Larsson on the depth chart. Looks like Disco might have his Talbot.

He reminds me of Ron Francis, not blessed with the best speed but he is so intelligent, he can't carry the team on his own but he will do the little things that great teams need and will make everyone around him better.

You failed to realize that gerbe is a kid, and he too still needs time to develop.

Eichel's goal tonight. Wish there was a better angle. I'm sure one will come out later.


Got one already, no sound tho

Where has Junior been btw?

The team is starting to jell. They do need to improve the D and hopefully Nylander is that top 6 winger but I just hope it's not too little too late.

Unless Nashville's defense isn't as good as it looks, it's impressive how they had them under pressure so much tonight.

It certainly looked like there was
They were constantly showing different Sabres fans in the crowd
We usually show pretty well in the Southeast
Lots of Buffalo transplants down there
