Mattias Samuelsson DOES IT AGAIN leading the Buffalo Sabres over the Rangers
Mattias Samuelsson can’t stop, won’t stop. Against the Rangers, Samuelsson had another incredible game, shutting plays down defensively, setting up Josh Doan to open the scoring, and firing a laser shorthanded to close the game, getting the win for the Sabres. Samuelsson’s season continues to be dumbfounding, with some stats showing him being one of the five most valuable players in the entire NHL. Should the Sabres consider throwing Samuelsson on the powerplay?
Colten Ellis shows up for the first time in over a month with a great start, but yet again a Sabres goalie lets in a soft goal that let the opponent back in the game. Josh Doan and Ryan McLeod continue to contribute as well, opening and closing the goal scoring on the night. Where does the win push the Sabres to in the standings?

GMKA had a lot of pressure to buy out Samuelson, looks p smart right now. He’s our top D man atm. Contract looks great all the sudden
Winning games that you "should" statistically lose is what good teams do.
Careful this guy gonna tell us to trade the farm for Crosby next 😂
The surprise of that Sammy goal made me feel like when boosh scored that overtime goal! Just a dagger that made me feel alive
Byram needs an extension now
These players are finally turning the nhl player corner. They are playing the right way for most of the games now. Still fall into that defensive trap but they defended well and even scored shg. So bravo boys keep up the fight. Gotta keep using the body men just put your weight on them opponent's. Wear them down you boys are all young the energy and drive is there use it.
Perfect example of what Riv says every day it takes longer for defenseman to flourish. Glad they waited now huh? Theres one thing in common from over this year and even some in last year. When they play the way Ruff wants they can beats anyone
Samuelsson is also a +18 that is incredible I didn’t even realize that the only one on the team even close is Tuch at a +9 and the odd thing and we know he has struggled a little recently his partner Dahlin is a -11
they are 11th in league based on points percent!!
I’m not taking anything away from they way Samuelsson has been playing this year, he’s been awesome, but the fact that he ranks among the best player in the league according to “Advanced Stats”, is EXACTLY the reason I don’t like them.
Usually it’s when it comes to the goaltenders, but any in this case, it’s not just unreliable…it’s laughable!
We need the same patience w’ Power. We have a very young top 4
The Sabres are getting to the point that you expect them to win. I haven’t felt like that since 2010
The Sabres D is becoming a major strength of this team.
Quinn, Rosen, and a 3rd for Panarin.
Ellis is a Rookie with 9 games under his belt, so you can overlook a a soft goal when he gets the win with a .938 SV%.
When it comes to UPL, you can almost count on at least one soft goal a game. For him, one softy is a good game, two or more should be considered “normal”.
I really didn't feel as nervous about the third period then I did against Vancouver
They're looking like a well coached team, and about Alex , trade away we have young up and comers to pay. I don't want to regret the last 3 years of his wants. Pay for the future not the past. I wanted him to be the captain, so I'm hoping we get excess value for Alex.
Doan was a great pickup. Love how he works.
Im hyping you up dawg!
Krebs took a beating… and never gave up. I like the spirit.
Sabres dominated Canucks and Rangers first 2 periods in each game. Sabres got through 3rd period pushes from teams that are trying to win too. They've won 12 of their last 13!!
go sword team
Byram and Mattias have been deadly as of late , Bo had a rough start but he been one of their best dmen offensively and defense now . His game has really takin off !
Byram and Mattias have scored HUGE goals for the Sabres , Bo is tied for 1st in GWG of all dmen and his shootout winner doesnt count in that . Them 2 are🔥
Doan 14Gs, Peterka 15Gs… Both 29Pts… Doan is basically matching Peterkas production at this point of the season. We all know the difference… Doan is a much more physical ALL AROUND player. Listen I'll wear my turtle 🐢 neck to support the team… In service of the Emperor… But K Adams keeps looks better and better in the rear view mirror and the concern is that ONE… Just ONE bad move by the turtle neck could derail this thing… So we need to stay on top of this guy. At this point I would only ADD pieces for picks… If that's even necessary, it's really not if they keep winning.. Also K Adams should be brought back as an 'Adviser'… With the final say on every decision involving trades and drafts… He can wear a turtle neck in a humble display of solidarity as the team continues to hand out PhDs to the opposing rivals they face and envision to be wearing turtle 🐢 necks… night in and night out 👍 🏒 💯 ⚔️
I refused to even buy a ticket last winter, now I’m going to my 5th game of the year driving from Rochester, they’ve made it 100% worth it
I would use the gametime app but the app doesn't allow me to choose aisle seats
The reason why the Rangers were taking it to the Sabres in the last period is because they beat the shit out of them. In the first two periods they hit them. Every chance they could it look like the Sabres were tired by the time the third period came around and it showed I think very much so they were slower, and the Rangers were taking it to them! and then Samuelson scored. I gave the Sabres energy to finish the game.
DEAR FRIENDS….AS A SABRES FAN THAT HAS BEEN WITH THE SABRES SINCE THE LA FONTAINE ERA……
I AM VERY UNSETTLED ABOUT THE TUCH TRADE RUMORS.
IM GONNA BE HONEST…..
DO NOT LET ALEX TUCH GO❗
Was at the game, the scattered Sabres fan at MSG all jumped up when Sammy scored… including me!
