The team is less talented but coached supremely better. 2017 Bills?

Question..
Who is the Sabres player that has surprised you the most?

For me, it is Tage no doubt. Most startling is his 58+% on the dot.
Girgs and Okposo get a loud shootout as well!

Also, the GEO line's puck possession and shot share domination is quite remarkable.

- IonSabres



Girgs you say?

The overpriced guy you relentlessly downed for the past 1 1/2 years? Who would have saw this coming?

A guy that has played "all out " his entire career?

It’s crazy how bad Krueger was.

Skinner is slowly becoming himself again. He was terrible game 1, and has been good in 2 and 3

Maybe krueger was bad for cody eakin as well?

i think he was underappreciated by every coach since teddy...

disco brushed him off
thrill threw him in a purely defensive role
ralph recognized his effort and traits but found no synergistic qualities

gus is what he is and meatballs is bringing out the best in him so far

I hope all your takes are right, except the skinner one, as that would mean he plays well. Don't care about the name on the back, these boys are alright *so far

Falling a lot less, maybe he bought a balance ball in the offseason.. I kid I kid. Again, don't care who, just like the play.

Skimmer looked great.

Strange thing about certain nhl stars, they go away for 1/2 the game.

Skimmer was missing in action for portions of all 3 wins.
He appears then disappears.

The goal was a goal scorers goal for sure...

Interesting after backing a certain soft jerkoff that had their former nhl Dad's name plate on his back?

Now it's the front of the Jersey that's important.

I kid... kinda

vanek was the perfect example of a player that went MIA for 40 minutes of a game and then a highlight reel

satan IMO was the example of a star who never disappeared

He played well when he was here, and not kinda. Numbers don't lie. Can't use the points as an example for Risto, but disregard for Reinhart. The front is always what's mattered to me, and Sam had 295 points as a Sabre, good for top 30 in the organization all time, in 6 seasons mind you, two shortened COVID ones to boot. We'll just never see eye to eye on it.

Skimmer is a very likeable guy as Mike previously posted.

At times in the game though, you wonder if he's actually still on the team.

Top bad 9 million wasnt kyle okposA 6 million type $.

I agree on satan, much more complete player than vanek.

Reinhart made a beauty pass last night to set up Lundell.

Also set up a goal for Montour, also assisted by Lundell

So many things there that can agitate me but not today Satan
