I am almost impressed that the Sabres did not fold, or blow it in the third. I couldn't make it through the third, so it was a joyous occasion to see the W this morning.

Hopefully we can use this to roll into Vegas.

I also hope that they aren't flying to Vegas until Tuesday morning.

I was glad to see Housley listened to me and finally put Rhino on ROR’s line where he should be, and Keep Jack with Kane and Pommer.
Rhino finally looked like he had a clue.
Keep them together Phil, let them grow. Okposo can find chemistry elsewhere, including LW on that line or float around a bit til he gets going again.

They have done that several times, same old same old.

Until the leaders on the team hold the players themselves accountable individually and as a team, it won’t change.

That said, they do need time to jell in the new system and then it will be time to change the talent to fit the system.

Going to be a long year

I thought they actually looked like things are starting to click a bit last night. The SHG they allowed again was a bit frustrating but they got a W and didn't look like a complete mess all night.

Vegas is due for another loss, and they seem to have trouble with the Atlantic Division.

It seems like guys that needed to wake up, started to.

Not perfect, and plenty of room to grow, but it is another step in the right direction.

I lost my match up this week by 0.5 points because Eichel and Kane can't hit an empty net.

Like seeing a W though

Fleury going down isn't going to help Vegas at this point. Part of their success has come from him playing well. Wonder who we'll see in net.

I think that defense is suspect as well.

Shut down Neal's line and you'll have a chance.

Subban will also be riding high, though the Sabres always play down to back up goalies.

I don't want to discredit them. They've actually performed pretty well. Better record than we have, so there's that.

Just hope we can build off of what we did last night.

Anyone know what the deal is with Okposo? What's the deal with his "illness?"

Evander kane suuuuucks. (frank) him. Total bonehead. He has no awareness, he would make the perfect player under a ted nolan coached team.... In europe.

After watching johnson tonight, lehner sucks. (frank) him.

Thankfully gibson sucked tonight and they were missing a lot of guys for our sake.

A win is a win, ill take it.

And, lehner sucks.

I agree. The Knights are playing incredibly well, so it will be important to keep the game simple like the Sabres did last night.

Limit mistakes and keep the area in front of the net as clear as possible.

the Vegas Golden Knights twitter feed is the best thing to happen to pro sports media in years.

Did anyone catch the Bruins game tweets. GOLD JERRY GOLD!

What is killing us besides speed, (nice to see Bailey get the call) are just terrible defensive lapses. Its going to take time to get things settled down but it looks completely disorganized on D right now.
