"Sabres head coach Nick Bjugstad was effusive in his praise for captain Zemgus Girgensons following game 7.

'Simply put, there would be no parade if not for Gus,' Bjugstad said

Forward Mark Pysyk, who scored the cup-winning goal against the Coyotes, echoed that sentiment.

'Gus was on fire.'"

- Hank Balling


I just can't believe we beat a Matthews-led Coyotes team with Jack Eichel as our 4C.

Anything is possible with Coach Bjusted.

That PP goal, I think the 2nd goal, all 4 pk'ers on one side of the ice, coulda thrown a blanket over 'em, absolute snipe over the glove hand though, looks to be his biggest weakness
- DirtyDan


I agree, san jose were really trying to pick the top corner over upl's left catching glove.

Hadn't noticed before, but you know ..... our mutual season ticket location , good view of the entire ice/ shots incoming.

Savoie might not even get invited to Canadas WJ camp.

Yikes.

He’s not having a bad year by any means
29pts in 23 games
Scoring at a slightly slower per game pace than last year
I don’t think we need to be worried

Maybe we should stop thinking he’ll be ready for 3C next year though

I'm assuming gurgs extends thru 2030-31. In buffalo.

Cap/ trade deadline move to Arizona march 30th 2030.

Breaks the record , all time buffalo Sabre games played.

Agreed
Sure would be nice if the Broncos pull off an upset
Raiders often give the Chiefs trouble, but KC will be a heavy favorite in the rest of their games

Maybe we’ll get lucky though?

I almost mentioned this. I am in no way predicting it, but I could see a scenario where the Broncos win their "Super Bowl" against Kansas City by mucking it up in an ugly game. For as much of a disaster the Russell Wilson/Nathaniel Hackett (why anyone would think he's head coach material after his OC tenure under Doug Marrone is still mindboggling) experience has been, that defense is still good enough to do something like that, even if only for one week.

I need names. Who is saying that.

If you’re going to call them out I NEED NAMES.

They need a better goalie and one more defenseman for sure, but fixing the third line has to be the number one priority. They are getting us killed far more than the other two.

Honestly not sure about the first name.

Soccer moms liked teppo sr's "hair"

" Junior" would be nhl draft eligible in the spring. ☝️

Krebs looked like an NHLer after being “demoted” to the 4th line that’s really our 3rd line.

Jost on the mitts line and they were actually able to get the puck out of our zone. Mitts and Olofsson needs to go.

UPL could have blown the game if they were playing any team but San Jose. He’s just not the answer.

The kids line is flying out there. They were so much fun to watch.

Get Power a partner, and go get a real goalie.

honestly i'd rather have them just rot playing 6 minutes a night EV than to pollute any other line.

it's tough to admit but Joker is army crawling out of the gutter

I don't really care how they handle business, but I want to be the team where other teams don't (frank) around because they don't want to find out.

That would have been a tough save for most goalies, perfectly placed.
