Sabres Prevail..But Stress Us Out First – Postgame Thoughts



Sabres Prevail..But Stress Us Out First – Postgame Thoughts

Do they have to stress us every single game this is the question I have but we’ll take it guys we got to NAB anything we can on this home stand but we can’t just go 500 and next game has me worried cuz the Canucks folks won again tonight they won their forth

Straight game on their road trip coming into Buffalo so this is going to be the test of test this year this is really I think they’re in a class by themsel I can officially say that now about the Canucks I never thought I’d be saying that this

Year uh we’ll talk about that in a sec guys let’s let’s look at the numbers um I’m sure a lot of you were frustrated in that third like I was my goodness did they have to give us a heart attack one more time I guess they did

Eh uh if you notice guys the the Quinn and the cousins turnovers led to two goals in our Zone and that third period giveaways call it what you want irresponsible plays right in front of our net we’ve got to get smarter with that but anyway we won the game let’s

Just take it okay let’s look at the uh numbers we’ll talk about it okay the shots on goal 3328 Sabers 50% each on the faceoffs power play the Sabres are one for three the sends were 0 for four 24 hits a piece it was a pretty much a war

Out there tonight look at the Block shots 28 for the Sabres 11 for the SS the SS were pushing us guys they were we had six giveaways they had four we had seven takeaways they had four shots and goal per period 109 Sabers in the first

Eight a piece in the second 1511 Sabers in the third for that 3328 total and in my opinion that 1511 is a lie they looked a lot better than us I thought in that third uh scoring Perka opens it up from cousins and power at 9:14 and then teras enko unassisted at

1506 and in the first the sabers are actually scoring lately Thompson gets his 13th from delene at 1728 uh a complete repper if you guys heard it sound like he broke the goalpost almost and again he does it on the power play again the goalpost goes clanging I think it’s still ringing

Right now 1932 Sabres are looking good a power play goal the Sabres go into the dressing room up 3 to one then Krebs on a nice passing Play Between each other from Robinson at 452 of the second and they head to the third Folks up 4 to one looking good here we

Go third period and there you see jaru makes it a game early the first minute these early goals in certain periods have been killing us all year makes it four to2 we have a game jiru again unassisted he got the other one from Greg at 11:15 and they are pressing the

Senators pressing and then C gets the empty Netter closes it out probably the nicest empty Netter that we’ve gotten all season cousins empty Netter was really it was nice to watch he went through two guys used the boards he really it reminded me of the 87 Canada Cup

Actually it did uh when Lemieux bounced it off the boards and we went up with it so I guess a lot of you must been I can’t imagine how the Sabers fans felt guys before while I think of it I want to congrats all the Buffalo Bills fans

I’ll uh I I do cheer for them over in your conference guys I do and wouldn’t it be something if the 49ers in the bills met up in the Super Bowl I might have to have a a a a video just on that you know if it does happen but uh

Congrats Bills fans my goodness you guys pulled it off you went on a winning streak at the end and see you never give up you never give up and the bills went on a tear and there they did it right in Miami I was really happy for them so

Congrats to to bills Mafia you guys deserve it and I hope you go I hope you go all the way I really do I hope the bills go all the way this year I I’d love to see it happen especially after that early 90s era to see them go deep

One more time would be all the way would be nice you know to see them win it so the boys get it done guys now I want to give you some numbers okay this is what we’re facing next game in case some of you don’t know this Canucks

Team just continue to win they F they just continue to win no matter what it’s unbelievable under talk it how they’re playing now the Canucks right now okay our first overall I might as well just push League here because our first overall 28 11 and three a league leading

By far plus 54 goals in the goal differential plus 54 and 42 games it’s unbelievable uh they’re 147 and two on the Road they’re 40 and0 their last four games on the road they’re 72 and one their last 10 and right now yes they have a four-game winning streak coming

In the Buffalo everything is the cylinders are pistols call it what you want is firing for the Canucks coming into this game this is not going to be an easy one folks that’s why I think the saber is going to win it I really do I think they’re going to

Surprise the league and win that game we’re due for a surprise this year not these predictable wins like Ottawa we’re due for a surprise the Senators can’t do nothing right at the moment at the moment that team was desperate at the end you guys seen it their desperation outweighed us

And that worries me at the end they were the more desperate team they were trying harder they were they were out hitting us at the end even though it finished 24 a piece I think they out hit us like 40 the last 2 minutes or something they

Were coming at us is what I’m saying they were coming at us hard but you don’t fall behind four to one in a game then wake up we know that already so the Senators have to learn it themselves I’m tell you it’s a mirror image this team

They’re just struggling more than we are that’s all that’s happening in Ottawa they’re just struggling more right now they were did you see how mad they were when they left the ice how mad the senators were they’re breaking their sticks and everything they were Furious they didn’t come back in that game but

Hey oh okay we got a visitor hold on Rome’s out and about and there she is folks the legend the myth color what you want Rose is here to save the day and Rosie says they won that game they won that game eh so we’ve got to keep this going

Somehow some way and now we got the Canucks just our luck you know like hottest team in the league number one team in the league well one of the hottest teams Edmonton’s officially the hottest team again Edmonton since their horrible start have won eight in a row

And nine in a row under this coach noblock I mean they they are doing really well under this coach that’s becoming quite a story at emont this year because it was awful what was going on over there so now we’ve got to figure out what we’re going to do with Nets

Next game I’m I’m guessing they’re going to go with Levi and they’re going to flip back to Lucan in the game after and I’m I’m guessing they’re going to do the Seesaw thing that’s just a guess I don’t know I just don’t know right now we’ve

Got to get this season somehow on track and honestly folks the what I seen in that third period I was so disappointed in them by the end of the game I was like come on where’s the desperation where’s where’s supposed to be the desperate team not Ottawa

They’re out of it they’re way out of it like the Sabers needed to you know desperately need this two points and to let the Senators kind of have their way with us give them two goals in our Zone in that third period right in the slot to score each time

Like what are we doing I can’t figure it out I just can’t for life of me figure it out except that it’s the same old thing in our Zone year after year and we’ve got to somehow grow up you know they got to mature they got this can’t go on all

Year this thing in our Zone you know I still you can see I still have hope they can get in of course mathematically we’re we’re there a winning streak away and we’re right in the playoff spot we’re we’re like a five-game winning streak away from being right with these

Teams so we we got to do something at home and yeah they got to beat Vancouver I think they’re going to cuz they’re not supposed to I think that’s why they will you know the Sabres are a strange Bunch this year I wouldn’t be surprised they win this and lose to San

Jose that wouldn’t Shock Me would it shock you no probably not right no like this year’s been that kind of season that we have the biggest win of the Year by far beating Vancouver and then we lose let’s say to the sharks it is them who we got next

Right let me just make sure that my goodness guys yeah sharks then the Blackhawks okay then TAA like if we can win this Vancouver game there’s a there’s a good chance we can win out our games we don’t and when Chicago comes in town we don’t have to face Bard like

There’s no reason that we should not win this game or San Jose those those should be two wins right away right away okay I can understand Tampa B being tough you know but Vancouver folks is by far going to be the toughest I think in this this home stand

This is the big one and if we can get this game then we maybe have something happening in our dressing room it might be the confidence boost we need I don’t know I’m just like grasping at straws maybe right now you know as a fan I want

To have hope it just when I seen the when I seen them kind of collaps in the third today it was really frustrating like Jim and I were texting back and forth and I’m ready to rip out my hair I was so mad I was like come on you know

Like you got these guys four to one you’re going to let them off the hook they’re like the worst Ro team in hockey practically like what are you guys doing on your home ice like wake up you know they’ve got to they’ve got to get this this home thing straightened out guys

And it doesn’t look like it’s straightened out yet but a game like Vancouver that could be a big deal that could be a huge deal or we could get blown out you know they could come right in and just sock it to us and say thanks for the two

See you next year you know in Buffalo that is so I just hope that the sabes can get this next one cuz then that sets up next week for a confident Sabers team coming in having one four their last five into San Jose and Chicago could all

Of a sudden be six at our last seven you know what I mean this is the game coming up this is the game of the home stand that I believe they have to win okay like they’re all important I’m going to close with this this is the game where

If they’re going to get one of these games that’s going to completely maybe turn their psyche around for the rest of the Year this is it this Vancouver game is it this is the one Vancouver is rolling there’s no point in even trying to make make sense of it what they’re

Doing this year they’re just crazy this year Vancouver they are they’re absolutely nuts this year and if the Sabres can take that game and win it convincingly like four to one or something you know a convincing win let the Canucks fans say oh we were flat

Tonight I don’t care what they have to say if we win that game it doesn’t matter I just if the Sabers can win that game what it could do in here for their season going forward could be huge let’s see the boys win enjoy the night guys I’m dead tired I’m going to

Go put on uh a a snack watch TV process this get this out to you guys I got a busy day tomorrow we see you Then

The boys were actually running away with this and at the end were just hanging on in a game where Tage netted 2 rippers..thanks for watching 😎

  1. Was at the game. Loved the play of our fourth line. Having Ryan Johnson in instead of Jokiharju I'm loving. I can't evenv watch Jokiharju anymore. Bad skater and constantly out of position etc. Keep him scratched. Let's beat Vancouver

  2. They took their foot off the accelerator in the 3rd for sure and the senaturds stepped up at the same time. Another nail biter at the end was gut wrenching.

  3. Next game is gonna be terrifying. The Canucks are excellent this year. Firing on all cylinders and are backed up with a beast in net in demko. Hope granato has the boys ready to play a hard game

  4. Not impressed, the Senators were down and out looking to get home from a long road trip. The Canucks will bury us. The only good thing that I saw was Krebs was on fire and really skating. It would be nice to see him get going

  5. Good game for awhile. Sabres obviously have little experience protecting a lead. I don't care what others say, I like the play of Krebs and Girgensons. I'm glad to see Vancouver doing well. I guess Elias Pettersson is worth the money, huh.

  6. to the bills comment. i was pretty much out on them when we were at 6-6 and even though it was ugly at times they battled back and somehow (ty titans) nabbed the 2 seed.
    i am REALLY hoping the Sabres do something similar if not better this season but time will tell.

  7. Wayne I have a genuine question for you….if by the trade deadline the Sabres aren’t making any strides and we keep being mediocre would you consider trading mittlestadt?

  8. Blocked shots ,give Johnson a beer I like that vet. Wayne ,I guarantee that #17 will bring silver to the land of cherios

  9. Has anyone been watching the Canucks enough to explain how they are taking off this year? They were awful last year. That’s how we should be playing this year. I feel like it was the coaching change that straightened them out?

    How in our 13 years of hell did we not ever a catch a lucky break ONCE but the Canucks have?
