Michael Pachla: Sabres on right track despite tough loss.

Solid game from Sabres, Andersen just had (what might be) his best game for the entire season.

Toronto has too many "little" guys to win in the playoffs, so that was nice to see too. haha

I missed the game completely but it sounds like the Sabres played well. I am happy that Kuli and Risto are finally paired together. This could be a solid top pairing.

I agree with your assessment - stay true to the system, be patient and the results will come. Plus get our key players back from the injury bug - that can only help.

I am liking the way the team looks compared to the slow ass game play we had last season. Just need to put the puck in the net on a consistent basis .

The last two cups have been won by teams that are in the bottom third for height and weight for that particular season though. The game is changng, and skill is much more important.

looks like Murray needs to trade for Kassian then

I am really excited.

I watched a bit when I got home


looks like they are just firing at the net, instead of placing the puck


maybe they need to pause for a half second before shooting

however, they're real quick to the puck...and babcock does have a lot of talent to work with up front

I can do without the Ennis/Girgs/Reinhart line. They do nothing for me.

I don't totally disagree, but withstanding the punishment of rounds of playoff hockey is important and I dont see this trend continuing (although I would rather watch skilled players than "tough" players). I see Pittsburgh as being a smaller team, but I am not sold that Chicago was. I am not sure where your data came from (height of players) but I am not just talking height, but weight and toughness.
