Michael Stuart: TampaCuse Young Guns Push Lightning Past Sabres

Resilience that is the motto of this team. They may not be the best, they may not play their best, but they are a resilient young bunch who do not give up. Kind of like their Captain his whole career.

Crowd was good tonight... my favorite Sabre fan was their as always, he can walk to the forum and only goes when the Sabres play... I never let up on him to come over and join the Bolt train that is on the tracks now. Once this team gets consistent in their play which will come with more time for all the young ones they will be even harder to play. Good game Bolts, made me sweat but a W after all.

A lot of credit should go to the players for that, but I think it's also worth noting the contribution Cooper/Bowness/Thomas/Gwozdecky have made too. There's a nice make-up on that coaching staff. Never say die.

Get him to jump on our bandwagon.

I try every time I see him but getting an old man who says he is 66 years old to switch is impossible. He says he plans on coming to more games against some of the teams we do not play on a consistent basis and cheer for the bolts, I hope I see him. I did get him to admit he shed a tear when Dave Andreychuk hoisted the cup over his head in Tampa but he says that's only because it should have happened in Buffalo... LOL. He is a good guy.

Love it...

The one stat that really gets me is the 15 giveaways . That. Shouldn't. Happen. . A couple places have been unfair to Radko for last night. Yes he makes mistakes and he's young, but always try's to make a difference. He accomplished that again last night.

Take 7-3 and run. While we all get critical about things no game is perfect. The Sabres are playing better than their record. Maybe their makeup of players brought in to be fight the Bruins mentality is changing with Kaleta and Scott gone. Some of their young guns are playing well so I have to give them credit. Their kids look good too. Maybe a changing of the guard is taking place and it looks that they'll be a lot more competitive with this group. All in all a win tonight in Sunrise and the Bolts are sitting atop the Atlantic. But with have to get by the Stinking Panthers first. It looks like the teams at the bottom are finding chemistry and playing alot better so there is no looking past anyone in this division. A win is a a win take the points and run.

Only saw the third , thought barberio looked good out there .. He's speedy

I couldn't disagree more. I thought he was an adventure in his own zone all night.

He's a work in progress, but considering how much time they've given to Aulie, he'll be around and have every opportunity

yeah, not sure about the entire game...what I saw wasn't as bad as his first game at all, not nearly as bad, id rather have sustr back in there though obviously

hey Michael, do you know if we're going to start the same roster? other than lindback

for sure. especially because of how much potential he has. whether or not the outcome rises to that potential he will definitely be given the chance , yzerman likes him a lot !

Initial word was that Labrie and Sustr would slot back in.

Absolutely. His youth was on display last night; that's not a bad thing. He'll continue to develop.

awesome. maybe lindback will earn some more starts. he has the same regular line-up bishop has had infront of him and if the team plays well there shouldn't be any problems, hoping he has a wicked game..and the whole team in general, super pumped to watch this tonight!
