Sabres Say No To The Hurricanes – Postgame Thoughts

Oh 500 finally folks that was a game that was a good game did you feel like me did you think they were coming back I thought they were coming back today I honestly did when Carolina got that call and they scored on it you just felt like it it just

Can’t end like this not tonight not tonight we’ve worked too damn hard to get to this chance and as soon as we we tied it up uh I think I went nuts I really did guys I really did I was so thrilled so happy with the effort today

And I’ll say it I’ll admit it even if they would have lost this game two to one I would have been proud of that effort tonight what I seen out there I was happy with them tonight I like Del’s Mean Streak there was stuff I liked in this game sometimes

Folks you got to take a penalty you just got to you know but that lot that second call on him was bogus bunting pushed him right into the goalie you seen it I seen it and they almost cheated their way to a win but they didn’t the boys win the boys are the

Better team tonight deserve to win that’s that okay shots 32 a piece the Hurricanes dominated on the face off 63% to 37 that was about the only area of the game where they were way better than us really was the faceoffs uh we were one for two on the

Power plate they were one for two on the power play the sabes had 20 hits the Hurricanes had 14 we had 23 blocks they had 25 four giveaways for the Sabers six for the Hurricanes five takeaways for the Sabers six for the Hurricanes tight game really good game shots on goal per

Period 108 Carolina in the first 127 Sabres in the second a surprising 1311 Carolina in the third I’ll talk about that in a sec and in overtime 2 to one which the last 40 seconds seemed like an eternity because the guys were gased 32 a piece total as we see

Scoring D’Angelo from Bunting and niches at the 240 mark makes it one to nothing in the first period we go to the second Skinner on the power play replies to that goal finally at 627 from cousins and ooso one a piece going into the Third niches uh from Shay and teravan

And I’ll tell you what folks that was a bad call that was just a bad call by The Ref it really was if you see the replay at 1442 gives them the lead and the Sabres reply a minute later just reached down deep and got it done Owen power

From kreb SW had a fantastic game I thought and Benson uh makes it two a piece going into the overtime and then of course we win in the shootout you know that we have to be on a critical note we have to be the worst prepared team in the entire

NHL folks I this this thing about these slow starts these first periods how we get killed in the first is it it it could have cost a great game today by the time the Sabres woke up it was about 10 minutes into this game and once we

Woke up okay we were awake but it’s like 10 minutes gone we’re behind and we’re trailing in a tight game all night long and a game where we didn’t have the lead all night long we did not have the lead in this game really I mean and and

So they we tied up 22 forc the overtime the overtime was exciting yes it was I’ll admit it even though I hate overtime and the shootout which I can’t stand was exciting too it was just that kind of night though this whole game was exciting guys this is why I’d like to

See the league do away with overtimes and shootouts and uh you know if you’re going to do overtimes make it five and five put a 10-minute overtime and let the guys play to a tie then a worst case but tonight I’m thrilled I’m thrilled because we’ve given away points to teams

That didn’t deserve it this way and it’s time we get our share back so the boys win for the first time all year guys three in a row officially a three game winning streak finally and I was looking at the um the season guys the last time we were 500 oh my

Goodness any guesses before I tell you last time we were 500 we went from 910 and2 to 1010 and2 that was November the 27th 34 games ago we’ve been playing under 500 the last 33 games in a row coming into this game tonight it’s been that kind of year and

In November I’ll just give it to you quick okay uh we started four and five in October in October we were under 500 all the way and then November hits we’re five and five we go five and six then we go 66 then we go 66 and one so back to back

And then we go 76 and one so we were one game over 500 once all year I’m sure many of you know that already then we went to 77 And1 78 And1 79 and one 8 9 And1 89 and 2 99 and 2 9 10 and 2 10 10

And 2 and from that point on 33 games passes and the sabes played under 500 for 33 straight games till tonight now well 34 games I mean we should count it right so that’s that is that folks the Sabers win a big game tonight and we’re finally

500 and I know the other teams who’ve won in the playoff race I don’t care I don’t care because could this be the start of something is what I care guys I don’t care what other teams are doing I got to count on these guys to do it

Because I can’t worry about out of town Philadelphia might just nose dive all of a sudden also you know what I mean so like I can’t worry about what other teams are doing all I know is we’re four points out of being ninth Four Points four you know four points out of being

In ninth place and that doesn’t really matter right now can the SA muster a 678 game winning streak all of a sudden cuz if we do we’ll get into this race but we have tough games coming up as we know it’s not going to be easy and

The truth is I’m glad it won’t be because I want to know what these these guys are really made of uh tonight very impressed with Krebs I thought he played a terrific game from the first period on I thought when the Sabres look iffy in the beginning with our bad start again

Where we looked like all over the place I thought crab was the one consistent on the ice at the time okay so guys we’ll talk about this briefly my goodness what a game though eh so we are Tuesday we’re in Florida Thursday we’re in Tampa and then March the 2 we’re home to

Vegas March the 3D we’re home to Winnipeg then we’re in Toronto so we got some big games coming up these are all playoff teams that we’re facing except maybe Tampa cuz if we can catch them I’ll tell you what if the Sabres ever went crazy and went all these games

They’re getting in I’ll tell you right now they win these six games they’re going to get in this year that’s how it works guys it’s it’s the team that puts together the winning streaks during the year Detroit is doing it right now take a look they’re pulling away because of

It they got I believe it’s a five-game winning streak going so Detroit’s earned their way right now they have could they collapse yeah but I don’t think so just because of the do thing you know they’re kind of do as an organization to get in

And they put a lot of marbles in and a lot of money and marbles into this team this year now will they go deep who knows there’s no way to know till we get in the playoffs this is why all you want to get in cuz the Sabers could go deep

If they got in there’s always that possibility right we’re in that era oh boy all right hold on come over this way come over here come here come on all right guys we have our regular is here once again our little lucky charm Rosie Roman’s out flying about he’s

Doing his thing and Rosie’s doing her thing too yes Rosie she said they won again I knew they’d do it but again what an exciting game today Lucan and of course settled in and I don’t blame him for the early goal guys I don’t you know we were all we were

Sporadic we’re all over the place now you know we looked out of position you know we we are so bad at being prepared at the 1 second Mark of hockey games we’re so bad so bad you can almost count that the Sabers are going to look lost the first five

Minutes of every game they play it just drives me nuts it does I said please not a bad start today and of course a bad start it just is what it is with this team so that’s on Granado guys he’s got to somehow get that figured out

And I don’t know if he ever will cuz this team this year it’s been a slow process to get back to 500 can we stay over the rest of the year is the question we might lose next game in regulation and we’re just shaking our heads again but at least we know this

Team is going to go down in the history books of having at least a three-game winning streak this year this has been a rough season so guys 500 seasons are like that you can go each way with them choice is yours you know I just want to

Get uh as much as we can out of the Season as much positive as we can out of this season tonight was a really good hockey game they played physical they looked good out there they looked like they to me they looked like they threw more than

20 hits in that game Del’s Mean Streak was going on loved it I did I loved it tonight I I should have checked the the the hits the last four or five minutes but I didn’t I you know it was kind of a blur so damn nervous watching this game

We had to win tonight you just felt it right we had to win this game to get back to 500 and stop this silliness of being under 500 getting close going back getting close going back you know and all year long this has been going on

But can they all of a sudden can they win 67 in a row I don’t know this is a hard schedule coming up if they manage to win next three games they might win the next three games after that they just might so there’s no way to know

Guys we just hang tight and we hope next game that we just get it done and I don’t know what they’re going to do I think they got to go with Lucan and the Nets they they they got to keep riding the goalie he’s a professional athlete he’ll have a day’s

Rest they should keep going with Ling him right now guys till we lose till it’s so bad his start that we have to replace him or something it’s what I’d like to see so guys I’m going to leave it there I hope um this picked up your morale a bit some of you

I hope if it didn’t can’t help you got you you know you’re just going to have to hang tight and see what happens in the future but I’ll tell you what finally we’re 500 There’s an opportunity now in front of us that The Season’s not

Dead yet it’s up to us now though it’s up to the sabors to go something like 10 two and two their next 14 if they can and if they can do that we’ll get back in this race we will get back in this race if we can do that all right guys

Done for the night I’ll see you soon I’m tired this took a lot out of me emotionally and I’ll see you at some point uh either tomorrow or the day after have a great one

The boys were relentless in this one and finally were rewarded as they finally are back to .500..can they now build upon this in the coming weeks ?? we will have to see..thanks for watching 😎
