Sabres Rally To Win The Game..(Twice) – Postgame Thoughts
Son of a Padri well that was a fun end I’d like to know who of you were at this game and actually perhaps left thinking the Sabers won then you got home and seen the highlights and seeing that minutes later they brought the teams back on the ice it was a bizarre ending to this game
For those that didn’t see it the Sab scor in overtime with two seconds left home power scores everybody’s celebrating the Oilers are not disputing but like usual they got to go through and check and make sure that the goal was legit and they see that the Sabers were slightly offside they called both
The teams back and the rest was history the Sabres almost scoring overtime again and then we went in the shootout so hey guys we won this game twice I’ll take it it was a fun game I enjoyed it I said you know what I got a feeling we’re going to win this twice
Today I really had that feeling you know and I’ll show you why in a sec clear reason why I thought they were going to win this game let’s look at the numbers okay the Oilers out shoot us 32 to 27 and they dominate on the face offs
80% to 20 my goodness on the PowerPlay the Oilers 0 for three the Sabers one for one and this is why I thought we were going to win look at those hits folks 40 hits for the Sabers 14 for the Oilers and with that performance the
Sabers now are in front of eight other teams and average hits per game when’s the last time I could say that on this channel they had 11 blocks we had seven they had four giveaways we had two we had 11 takeaways they had five shots and
Goal per period 10 seven Oilers in the first 146 Oilers in the second the Sabres get their act together in the third and outshoot them 10 to S and then in the overtime it was a crazy overtime and the Sabers out shoot them 4 to one for that 3227 total
Scoring Oilers open it up at the 29 second Mark yes folks the Sabers once again let in the early goal one- nothing Oilers after 29 seconds and then at the 1419 Mark uh that was from uh that was McLoud that scored from dry CLE and Fogle and Fogle scores at the 1419 Mark
A short-handed goal to make it two nothing Oilers from a cloud and that was it for the Oilers in the game for their scoring surprising really Tage make sure to get one about a minute later a little over a minute later on the power play uh unassisted and yes it was a Tage
A semi blast I guess we could say makes it two to one it wasn’t really a blast folks okay makes it two to one and then uh no scoring in the second and Jacob Bri gets his first of the season to tie it 2 to2 and that’s your
Scoring no scoring in the overtime technically and the sabes win in the shootout but 40 hits folks I thought they were going to win this game the way we were out hitting them in this game this is why I I’m a big advocate for for physical play because if you if
You are out of the game you get yourself back in the game with some sort of physical play sometimes you can’t do it with your legs or your scoring or even your talent but you can always do it with your aggression and the Sabers in this game
Dug their way back into it and won and they won it twice let’s face it it felt like the Sabers were going to win this game no matter what happened today even when they brought them back I thought the Sabers were going to win I did I
Honestly did I was laughing I wasn’t even worried I said we’re going to win this game somehow some way I just feel it man they’re going to win today I didn’t think it’ go to a shootout I thought we were going to score one more time in the the overtime but didn’t happen
So now Sabers are 303 and 5 we’re back to 500 let me get that up there for a sec folks so the Sabers yeah 30 30 and 5 I just want to check um the out of town scores as I’m speaking Tampa hammering Philadelphia 5 to nothing the Flyers are losing today
That’s in the third 17 minutes left Philly finished in that game uh Detroit’s in Vegas okay so the way it works is if if Detroit loses today we’re seven points out of a playoff spot I mean I want to still go on record saying that it’s not over because it’s just not
You know if Detroit can keep losing it sure helps us and I know Washington’s hot but they’re going to cool off that’s an old team they’re just going to cool off no matter what they’re to just too old I just don’t believe the capitals are going to
Stay hot you know I think they will collapse before the end of the year they could get in though because it looks like 90 points might even do it this year I could be wrong but it’s starting to look that way folks yeah I’m just um recapping myself
On a few things here because I wanted to point it out yeah I had uh I was looking at uh the the hits by uh the team because this was an impressive it wasn’t just an impressive win it was imp it’s the way we won you know the Sabres
Actually destroyed these guys physically today you now Robinson had five hits to lead all forwards just for example on the Blue Line rosmus Deli NS seven hits for those of you that keep talking about us plus minus would you please stop that doesn’t matter right
Now and I’m a plus minus guy I’m a big believer in that stat but when you’re the top offensive guys on your team in the history of the NHL I’m talking gilf Flur jilber perau all those guys weren’t the guys that always had the best plus minus you’re your best
Phil Housley those type of guys always have a lower plus minus than the defensive guys do okay they always do historically in the NHL why because they take way more chances they’re offensive so delene uh right now is is is doing his thing I I’m a little
Worried now guys about the captaincy I want to talk a bit about that before I I I close up the video the captaincy we’re going to have to figure that one out that’s a tricky one I know a lot of people just say give it to darene and that’s
It I’m kind of uh leaning towards tuck again guys I just am I’m leaning towards Alex tuck and um I think cousins isn’t ready but his name can be brought into it but the eies had you know um I I would uh I don’t know this it’s a tough one I guess
We should just leave at a to next year so if the Sabers can I don’t know win another four in a row maybe just maybe we’ll get something done 30 30 and 5 so we got to go guys it’s not good it’s not good ah we got 17 games left let me check
Something for the record because I know I’m probably right about this but I want to be sure something we should know and talk about just briefly so Sabres right now are 30 30 and 5 right last year they finished 42 33 and
7 we would have to go 12 3 and two to be as good as last year from this point on the next 17 games 12 3 and two I know right now guys it’s it’s a it’s a bit of a stretch but uh if other teams start losing it takes
A lot of stress off of us and we just got to win maybe five out of six instead of six in a row like we just did recently so it’s h come here come here come on there we go guys there she is she wants to visit and say hi I I just
Couldn’t leave her out she was looking at me with those sad eyes I said oh come on in so guys the Sabers pull it out they’re 500 again what else is new there you go I’ll take you out in a sec okay I don’t think there’s anything to
Really really Panic about this year guys you know we we’re just where we’ve been at all year it feels like which is a 500 season it’s just one of those years where I honestly just don’t know what to think unless we R you know we run off a
Seven game winning streak then we can play 500 again we have a chance but we need a long we need a long ass winning streak and we need one very soon cuz we have 17 games left my goodness this season’s kind of flown by though it really has I’ve been so
Busy and um I didn’t even do the anniversary video for the channel I’m going to do it soon guys I just haven’t really it’s been hard to commit to this this year with everything else I had to do I upgraded everything in here but I haven’t had the time you know
And it’s that’s the hardest thing is the time and I’ve been my health has been not great so I’m going to get back on my vegan kick and that should help so guys I’m going to leave it there I’m exhausted I’m going to go watch American Pickers one of my favorite show for
Those of you that haven’t seen it really it’s on tuby it’s a blast to watch I love it fun show to watch the boys hang around and I don’t think we can ask for more than that right now they’re hanging around and if we hang around long enough
Maybe something good can happen just maybe and if it doesn’t we won’t be shocked so I’m going to hope that they finish maybe strong like they have the last two seasons and somehow someway squeak in but we’re going to have to ride UPL guys a lot of games now ride them just ride
Them even the backto backs ride the guy out we’re going to this thing about putting in cry and and and and and just ignoring the fact that we need to win these games is kind of crazy right now but there’s not much else we can do
Right since we don’t have Levi up here we don’t have a choice but to play comry so you know I I I hope comry can give us two more good starts before he before we get rid of him just two more good starts would be nice cuz it would
Really kind of help our situation a bit guys anyway I’m exhausted guys I’m going to go watch TV I want to get this up to you the boys win they come back exciting game uh I’m glad the crowd went home Happy twice twice I’m glad that happened I’m
Glad the Sabers one again you know that was a nice feeling and uh I liked how they kep McDavid at Bay all game it felt like ehy they really the Sabers look pretty damn good in this one actually overall so I’ll see you guys soon I’m
Going to leave it there and I’m going to try my best tomorrow to jump on some videos normal videos talking saber Zone and uh you know and my usual my usual core of videos guys I’m going to try tomorrow because I know I haven’t been doing it hopefully I’ll see you there
Have a good Night
The boys are back to .500 again as they complete the comeback in this one in extra time..what’s next from here on in the final 17 games ?? ..thanks for watching and see you all tomorrow 😎

We should get 4 points for beating them twice
This is Dahlin's team now, he for sure gets the C, and Tuch/Cozens get the A's
6k has proven himself, if we beat Detroit three times, watch out
Believe ( I got the sportsnet/Oilers feed) the faceoff win % set a record for the oilers in highest win % in their history. I don't know how Byram didn't get the assist on the Tage goal, but his shot with traffic in front of the net made that goal possible. Cozens has been playing so well, and almost had another SHG. I read a post today that I believe could have been true, in that if UPL didn't have such a great year in goal….Granato and perhaps Adams may be gone. I think he alone saved atleast Granatos job. The next 3 games will be massive, 1 against NYI and 2 against Det.
Wasn't expecting this today.
This week decides the season Wayne. If we go 3-0 this week now with that Detroit loss, we potentially could be just one point out of a playoff spot. Here we go
Tuch has no right to wear a letter on his jersey. He is a big reason why the Sabres are 500. He has cement blocks for hands and his skill is declining every game. Dhalin is the only option to be captain or else run 3 As.
Hits…. who would have thought?
Next 3 games are huge. Wings, Islanders and Wings again. IF they can win them all they could possibly get within about 4 points of the 2nd wild card and then all bets are off. First, the Caps and the Islanders need to start losing at least half their remaining games. Maybe we can help start the Isles on that road by beating them this coming week. If they get to about 4 points out of the last playoff spot, all games after that will be pressure packed for all the teams fighting for that last spot…and maybe a few of then will wilt under the pressure? Just so it's not the Sabres…
That was a really gutsy effort for Buffalo. After giving up an early (and bit soft) goal and a shorty they could easily have folded. UPL recovered well from the early setback and Buffalo dug in against an Oiler team that fancies it's cup chances. (Remember how bad they started the season?) Enjoyable win that just about keeps them alive. It was kind of like Oilers vs oiler lite here and wouldn't Edmonton love a guy like UPL going in to the playoffs? 😋
I was there and was about to walk out when I noticed the ref get on the headset and when I saw that I knew nothing good was going to happen. Tons of people left and came back to their seats, I’m thinking at least 1000 didn’t come back. It also didn’t feel like they were outhitting them that much, I was paying more attention to how bad they were at faceoffs.
Fun game
Man our defense has been good for awhile with all these low scoring games
Screw hits … where are the goals ???
I know it's only been two games, and I don't want to give Adams too much credit, but this Byram deal already, is looking like a steal.
Fans who badmouth Dahlin are clueless
Teams that win cups have a captain, don’t go into the playoffs without a guy with the C
Congrats to Bryson ,next year we will break the ice im not worried now that #1 ,is our #1 1 good pick up in the off season (no Halls) can we have Rhino back
Peterka played 6 minutes, next summer he will ask for a trade, he’s wondering why Ollofsson played twice as much, a guy they couldn’t give away for free. Quinn who’s played 14:15 in his Sabres career will ask for a trade, he will wonder why Benson, Greenway and 4th liners are playing more. Everyone is all excited they won 2 out of the last 5 games, I’m wondering how they think they will win games scoring 1 or 2 goals and having leading goal scorers on the bench, Tage usually plays less minutes than Greenway, no team has ever won a cup with just grinders.
you are absolutely correct Wayne it is not over until the math doesn't add up!!! also didn't the Sabres end mcdavids point streak???
I guess I should have read the comments about mcdavids point streak 😂😂
Glad we kept Bryson, he has played SO MUCH BETTER since his stint in Rochester.
I just wanna know if they started saluting the fans again after OkBozo left.
Screw the NHL. Get rid of this offsides challenge. It doesn't move the game along. It ruins the game flow. It's so stupid and technical. Let the refs make the call
I wonder what made the boys hit so much. I hope they keep playing physical. When you're physical and on top of pucks, you win. Fancy plays don't win games
thanks Wayne . Keep on !
Love this channel. I hear you about health challenges. Take a look at intermittent fasting.
Cozens is far from ready.
Wishing you good health!
I honestly thought so too. I thought tied this game back up and win in a shootout. And when they had to call the Oilers back out that was hardly ever been seen.
So many people left, oilers included, and everyone did a u-turn and re-filled the seats. oh man was the energy high after that though. No way we were losing that shootout
My daughter and i went, she likes to stay and watch the three stars so we got to see the whole thing. The team looked great, it was hard to see mitts get traded but the moves made sense. This offseason we have to cut the cord off past loosing teams and move forward with our young guys.
I might be spit balling here, but I wonder if Don was of the ilk to get the boys to enhance their skill level, first the offence, then the defense prior to adding physicality to their game. I recall how overjoyed when potential goons, Clifton and Greenway were added. But they both disappointed bloodthirsty fans. Oddly Connor was contributing to Sabre hockey in addition to physical play. And Jordan is an asset on offense. They seemed to delay hitting in games, until both enhanced their hockey skills. I recall when Don spoke of acquiring Greenway he spoke of his previous knowledge of him and of his ceiling and untapped potential. Don spoke of no time to work on skills and practice when he took over the team. Commented occasionally of having to learn on the fly to get better. I noticed the past few games the boys have added some new techniques to their play, entering the zone, defending against the powerplay to name a couple. And oh yes including a bit more physical play. Sometimes the boys seem unduly tired. I believe Don and the boys are busting hinny to improve while mixing in enough wins to keep from getting fired or traded. I prefer the "Dynasty Effect" vs a round or two of disappointing playoffs for the rest of my life. I have been a fan since my overseas adventures in the Marine Corps as the rest of my friends got to attend games of our brand new team at the "Aud." Now in my 70's with a brand new heart condition and a meds salad each morning I am expecting to see legit Cup runs. Preferably not sitting in perfect seats right next to RJ. My unfortunate need to be in town to help my Brother close my Mother's beautiful home, yet put me in town to watch the Boys beat the Canes from great seats behind the net with a decades long friend. I hope to see trophies raised by the Bills and the Sabres. Until then, I am enjoying our guys busting azz fighting the odds and learning to get better. Go Bills… Go Sabres…
The team with the most hits usually loses.
I think we finally have a goalie. Upl stopped mcdavid it was nice
That was a crazy ending. One game at a time. It's not over yet.
Wayne said that 90 points could get the 8-spot. The way the last quarter of the season appears to be going, you could have 5 teams bunched up for this madness. No matter what, it’s going to be a hell of a finish.
