Michael Pachla: Sabres "B-squad" hold it's own at TOR. Leafs in BUF tonight
- Michael Pachla

Tage looked great! If he continues to build his speed, he's gonna be a perennial 25+ goal scorer. Great puck protection, reach, and an insane shot. I am liking this kids ceiling. Pair that with the 3 first rounders this year, Moulson + Poms + Beaulieu = 12M cap space and some of the best prospects in the game, this team is gonna be stellar in about two years

So.

Atomic..I saw Lafleur a couple times in Buffalo. What a treat to watch. That's too bad you didn't get to see him, he was great.

Those were some of the best hockey games I have seen...Sabres - Habs...talk about flying up and down the ice

I saw him live a few times over the years - including as a Nordique. That was just wrong.

I think what is lost in the translation is the fact that I'm straight up trolling you guys.. I'm actually pretty stoked that the old rivalry will actually mean something again. Both teams have a lot of promise right now. But I'd be nervous about Hutton and if Ullmark makes the team it would be a waste to not start him upwards of half the games. Would be better to develop him in Roch than have him sit. IMO

It’s more of a 1a, 1b poopuation

Good luck signing Nylander, ours is better. Rumor has it Willie is a Daddies boy

lol! You mean the guy who played 32 games and has never played more than 40 in his career? The guy who has been pegged as a career backup? You better hope Ullmark passes him on the depth chart or you guys will be in the mix for another lottery pick.. Y'all have delusions of grandeur!

Yes I thought I was pretty specific.

The night John cried himself to sleep after game 5 of the 99 ECF. His commitment is admirable.

Often imitated, never duplicated. You’re welcome Hockeybuzz.

So the Sabres are going to kick the poop out of the Laughs.

Don't get too excited! That was the Leafs B squad too.. Wasn't even close to their full roster.
- Gusto

No, but the Leafs' goals came from the top players.

89,

The game is on ESPN+. You can download the app and get a free 7 day trial. Watched the game on it last night. The Tage Thompson goal from the ref’s helmet cam was money.

Babs will have them ready.

"Poop before the game boyz! Don't embarrass yourselves out there. But don't push too hard, let it come naturally, like clockwork. Soon you won't even have to think about."

Lehner and Andersen have similar starting career numbers, let that sink in.

.916 2.77

and

.918 2.74

You don’t have to ask Thompson twice to shoot. Also, nice to finally have a goalie capable of playing the puck.

Anyone have a link ?

Dahlin doing ok?

Forgot what a real goaltender looked like wow! Thank god Lehner is gone, that would have been atleast 2-3 goals that period alone, bet those Lehner supporters want him back though. Him and his “great save percentage”

Very happy to have moved to Texas, $100 a year and I never have to troll Reddit for streams ever again... until they play on nbcsn

Needs to get used to the smaller rink IMO. Guys closing on him faster than he’s used to

pair of really bad turnovers in the 1st, he'll learn from them

Clark is pretty tough, Randell caught him with a few and didn't even seem to feel it.

UB is 4-0 and the Sabres can actually play a game where the puck isn't pinned in the defensive zone for 98% of the time. I'm thrilled.

yup, that's the fastest way to learn, no doubt!

lol, Johnson 2 catches for 101 yards and a TD

Wow, what a throw!
