already saw a bunch of it in last night's thread

Johansson

That is all.

This guy is enormous for the Sabres.

ullmark sucks
sobotka sucks
risto sucks

blah blah blah


the bigger issue IMO is our first line is doing next to nothing 5 on 5 lately
but the secondary scoring is carrying the team


all good things

it's fun to watch and if we keep this steak going for another 5 games, we will only need to go .500 for the rest of the season to make the playoffs

and I do not see this team getting long losing streaks as long as they stick to the system

Been a while since this team could say that about secondary scoring like we are getting this year

The bolded is the most unexpected, best thing to see happen this early in the season.

The first line will get going before long, as will Dahlin.

.....something something not winning the "right" way.

Johansson

If he can hit 20 goals at #2C, he is exactly what we were hoping to get out of a Risto trade....

Yeah it's nice to no that we can put wins together and not have to count on them, when they do get going this team will be very dangerous

Additionally, they have a forward in the AHL who in theory can help, and they have the currency/trade capital to make improvements both short and long term where needed at any point during the season.

7 points in 9 games with a +6

He and Skinner working together is such an underrated storyline

His assist last night though was... generous

Nice post, Botts has done a nice job. Good year to have some of that currency to, bunch of teams who need it

These red uniforms would look much better with the white pants

I read last night we need to break up the 1st line.

I liked the Johansson signing, no way did I imagine he would look as good as he does.

Check the replay for the assists given to Okposo and Larsson on the Zemgus GWG.

The Bills cannot finish a drive. We're lucky we are 4-1

Not to female dog, but how was that not roughing the passer on that 1 play, guy took at least 2or3 steps after Allen's throw

- Mentalorgasm5

I knew it was an under-the-radar type of signing but he's been a revelation so far.

However, they really do need to drop Olofsson down a line or two. He's a wizard on the PP but he needs to get it going 5v5.

I say move Vesey up to the LW on the top line for a few games. He's been looking a lot better the past few games. Keep line 2 intact, Have Sheary and Olo flank 8.4% and see how it works out.

Yeah, we're winning, but tweaking a few spots isn't a bad idea.

Way to much, seems people have forgot how to enjoy winning
- Buff36

Some just remember last year and are not sold yet

When we're 20-6-3

Some might believe it's real

- kingcong39

Yeah, some generous score keeping
