Sabres Rout The Knights With Ease Tonight – Postgame Thoughts

This is really terrific we’re having a nice time now aren’t we I think the whole thing is going incredibly well hey oh come on I was just beginning to enjoy that hey fool you ready for another beating you should have never came [Applause] back Well if that’s not the best I’ve been feeling all year about the team nothing’s going to make me feel as good as this one guys not even that trashing of Toronto beating Vegas for me is more sweet I thought Jack would be playing in this game he didn’t play so he’s

Apparently he’s he’s coming back next game from what I heard who knows anyway it doesn’t matter it just would have made it a little more sweet sweet if he was out there today cuz I don’t think it would have made much of a difference really I don’t think it would have that

Rosie’s around me I got to be careful no no get down get down so the boys destroy and I mean absolutely destroy Vegas tonight tell me that wasn’t beautiful guys wow we’re game over 500 again and our goals for and against a differential of one I told you I had a feeling something’s

Going on with them now can they keep this up we’ll see guys we’ll see there’s a lot of time there’s a quarter of a season left let’s hope we can you know do something down the stretch it might be too little too late but let’s not

Give up that’s the worst thing we can do okay let’s take a look at the numbers my computer is running out of juice let’s go okay shots on goal 35 24 Sabers and yes they look like the team with the with the more shots the better team tonight by

Far uh the edge and face us are 54% for Vegas 46 for the Sabers we were one for two uh sorry one for one on the power play they were one for two the knights had 36 hits in the game the Sabres were up to the challenge throwing out 27 of their

Own they had 27 blocks they were under siege folks we had 10 they had two giveaways we had five they had seven takeaways though we had three shots on goal per period nine a piece in the first 138 Sabers in the second 137 Sabers in the third for that 3524 total

Scoring Skinner opens up the game at the 156 Mark of the first and isn’t that a nice change the Sabers open it up one nothing after one cousins gets the important second goal early in the second to make it two two to nothing Sabers as you’ll know both goals and

Assisted cousins had a really good game and that was short-handed that goal there then brezo on the power play from Roy and cter makes it 2 to one less than a minute later and then we’re starting to curse cuz a few minutes after that at 428 Carlson from Marsh show and cter

Makes it 2 to2 and gurgenson with that important momentum changer from Robinson who played I thought another good game makes it 3-2 at 1446 we go to the third Oso gets it makes it 4 to2 at the 220 mark from Skinner middlest stat and power really with the back breaker I

Thought once we made it 5 to2 I kind of thought this game was done the way we were’re playing defensively now especially from Bryson and Robinson again and then the route is on folks middle stat on the power play from power and Skinner didn’t even raise his stick

When he scored he had it all the way and cousins another short-handed goal I can’t remember last time one player ever got two short-handed goals in a game I just can’t remember it guys for the life of me from power in Yoki Haru 72 Sabers final so it’s a

Route but it’s just a win no matter what it’s just a win and uh I really thought Jack eikel was playing damn it but anyway it is what it is I’ll take this all day long and we beat them don’t forget 5 to2 in Vegas earlier this year

So for the theory the the theories out there that we can’t beat good teams lay it to rest we can it’s it’s when we play these middle of the pack teams that we seem to have trouble but right now it looks like the Sabres can beat just about anybody I’m feeling pretty good

About our chances against Winnipeg that will be a tough one but look we just put uh Florida right to the you know if it wasn’t for like a stupid penalty really I mean to give them a five on three we probably would have won that game somehow some way that’s how it felt

You know they’re ran every game right now so the Sabers have brought their level of play up way better the the last since January really guys really since January things has have got a lot better it’s been a slow process but right now we look like we can beat anybody right now

Can this continue for the next month and a half if it can we could get back into this I was a little late with this video tonight guys because I was watching the Tampa and Habs game hoping the Habs would win that game and it went to a

Shootout the Habs just shots in the foot in this one they took a penalty in overtime then they get out of that it goes to the shootout they have four chances to win in the shoot out and they can’t convert once ridiculous you know so I was just

Saying what a waste of time I should have known you know anytime I’m rooting for them even slightly to do something of course they they’ll lose you know H I was so mad watching that game just now but um this Tampa team looks like they can be caught they do but can we

Continue can the sabes win five of the next seven somehow can we do that because if we can do that we can keep chipping away guys that’s all we want is to chip away right now we’re not going to worry so much about how many points we’re behind the playoff

Spot till we’re within four once we’re within four and if we have 10 games left anything can happen anything can happen so I I’m not throwing in the towel I hope none of you are because there’s no way I I I’ve watched and suffered this far into the season to throw in the

Towel there’s no way uh-uh so we’re 10 points out two games in hand it’s still there with a winning streak you know and I mean it’s not so much a winning streak can we continue staying hot right now now they’ve won five out of six they’re seven and three

Their last 10 folks I don’t think we were seven and three in a 10 game spam once the entire season till right now I really don’t think we were I’d have to really check that but I’m just guessing I don’t think we were seven and three

Once all year have we won seven games in a 10 game span the entire season I’m pretty sure I’m right saying that it’s been a rough year but you know what we might get rewarded with a really strong finish some good goal tending some good defensive

Play you know and and I I hope Granado can keep them playing physical like they have been as of late I like what I’m seeing in this game they looked really especially tonight they looked up to the challenge they were great in the corners and we we were up we just

Even say come bring it you know like the Sabers were ready in every aspect we look quicker than them too much quicker I liked what I seen today oh hold on guys I liked what I seen in so many areas there she is folks and my little

Girl’s got her Jersey on too she’s celebrating it was a beautiful win guys anytime we beat Vegas is an amazing win that is for sure I’ll let you go anytime we beat Vegas guys this for me is the team right now at this period

Of me being a fan in the league the team I don’t like the most in the entire league right now I probably would go for the Canadians to beat them in a series I I I don’t know for sure but I’m negotiable you know I it’s just really

Really good for our organization what’s going on lately the oh hold on of course of course Rome says it’s been a while he has a few words to let the Vegas fans know how he feels sorry Rosie out of the way here we go Rome here it comes folks you will be

Destroyed you will be destroyed you will okay okay that’s good that’s good we’ll leave it there destroy terminate he’s going to go out to play we’ll let Rome go out hey we got to celebrate this one we have suffered all year okay all year and people were jumping on us you’ve

Seen it online people are just jumping on us including our own fans but they’re not really fans but I’m talking fans that like couldn’t wait for the Sabers to struggle again you know they were just waiting for it it seemed and the minute we struggled this year my

God the trolls were out e it didn’t take them long like sorry no we’re not the worst team in hockey we’re actually one of the best teams in hockey that’s just struggled this year that’s what’s went on because we’re young and we’re learning and we’re in experienced and we

We might have expected for months it just to turn around on its own till they got ashamed and humiliated and I’ll tell you what they’re looking a lot better at home guys a lot better at home I expect this record to be a winning record this

Year at the end of the year what I seen I don’t think we have to worry about the home thing all of a sudden it’s the first time in 2 years three years I’m saying that I honestly believe right now we don’t have to worry about the home struggles I think they’re gone

I think we’ve grown through that right now that’s just me talking though I I got no proof of this yet but I really do believe this I think we can finish strong at home and on the road now the way I’m feeling about this team I haven’t felt

Like that since I’ve had this channel it’s the first time I can honestly say I feel like they can win anywhere right now this is how it feels it felt really good the fans were having a good time it was just great today guys you know what

It’s pretty good crowd we had about 177,000 in there right I was looking at the attendance it was like 69 or something it’s pretty damn good when you consider the home product this year has not been very good but as of late the fans just seem to be embracing them no

Matter what so kudos to the fans for doing that look guys I’m going to take this one what are you doing okay she’s behind me I got to watch no no get down get down cuz if she Yanks the wire that mic is a $200 mic and if she

Yanks and snag snags at wire that’s a $200 problem that’s not a good thing get down down down down be a good girl oh my God give me a sec guys I’m going to have to hold her the rest of the video because I can’t trust her she’s she’s

Going crazy behind me bad girl bad bad bad he’s a bad girl she makes me laugh on the down days guys okay so guys I’m going to call it there that’s it for the night uh the boys win and they win convincingly so this video I tell you what guys I’m

Probably going to upload it on a lousy resolution tonight cuz it’s late I watched the Habs game I’ve talked well over 10 minutes I’m sure I’m what I’m going to do tonight is I’m just going to put it out there at a lower resolution so you excuse it if it looks a little

Funky but I want to get it out at early enough and everything tonight so I’m going to leave it at that guys I’ll see you uh I’ll try and see you tomorrow I’m going to be busy but I’ll try to see you tomorrow night okay I’m going to do my

Best I’m feeling good about being a Sabers fan for the first time all year really really good I’m feeling good about these next 21 games now guys we’ll see have a great night Guys

  1. The boys killed it tonight, 2x SHG, PPG, 5v5 and all this against the Cup Champs. Season series is done and Buffalo 2-0. Benson without a penalty?!? I gotta give Okposo praise, he has been great for the team as a leader tbh. Despite the ups and downs he was quite consistent for giving his all. Power said while watching from the stands says he learned alot…and it really showed the games he has played since the return. It sucks they didnt get a point against Florida cause they deserved it. UPL super solid yet again. No doubts for me that he is a legit #1. If he was gonna show he can't be consistent I think it would have been 3 or 4 games in…not 18. Lets hope Comrie can follow through in tomorrows Winnipeg game. Beers all around for the boys tonight!

  2. I will be uploading some clips from the game in the morning. Dylan Cozens looked like Peca on that penalty kill… When I recently commented that the Sabres needed to learn how to play team defense this year and therefore adjust the offense accordingly, this is evidence that we are now seeing the payoff. Whatever happens the rest of this season I fully believe we will become a dominant team next year. And this season isn’t over! It would be absolutely incredible to get in this year.

  3. This was my first ever Sabres game in Buffalo that I've attended! What a win! I live in Maryland and attend Sabres games when they come to town to play the Caps, but this was a whole different experience. So much fun, Krebs was looking right at our section when he skated off after that fight and waved to the crowd!

  4. Why does it take until late February/early March for the boys to play like this? We know this is the type of team they can be! Thanks Wayne 💙💛💙

  5. couldn't watch this one (thanks again espn+) but i wasn't going to miss it. listened on the radio and the house was rocking especially in the third. Great game all around.

  6. Beautiful Win tonight, but i have to say i was scared shitless when Vegas came back from 2-0 to tie it up . Earlier in the year the Sabres would've folded , but tonight the Sabres said bring it and stuck it to Vegas!! . Shows how much theyve grown – improved!
    Too bad Tampa and NYI won tonight but at least Detroit lost and the Pens just blew a 3-1 lead and lost 4-3 in regulation to Calgary . 😊
    I say start UPL tomorrow night against the Jets who are coming off an emontional win in Carolina . They were down 3-0 and won 5-3 !

  7. It's amazing how similar this season is compared to last year. Team gets hot late in the season, and we ask ourselves where was this early on. I'm super excited with our goalie situation. The future looks great there, now we have to keep the offense fortified, and maybe add a weapon or two. Do you see us adding anyone before the deadline if this hot streak continues Wayne? Anybody that catches your eye? It's amazing how a week ago we talked about this being our toughest stretch, and we're 3-1 so far. Darn the Florida loss, but we played them tough. Also Pittsburgh still has 3 games in hand on us even though we're tied at 62 points with them. I hate that…ugh. It just feels like we'll come so close like last year, and just come short, but I still remain optimistic.If nothing else I think we should feel great in 2025 in the goaltending department. That took a huge step this season. Thanks again for the great videos you put out Wayne, always enjoy them..GO SABRES!

  8. I really wish this could have been the team we were watching from the start of the season. Taking 50 games to figure it out has put the odds so against them that it's really hard to get overly excited over a dominant win like this

  9. Finally a Saturday night game (in Britain at least) that I could watch that Buffalo didn't bungle! Great performance again. I'm just curious as to the turnaround since new year. 🤔 and hope they keep it up beyond the trade deadline. Once it passes and the players are secure until summer they better not slacken the pace. But this was a nice one to see. 😊

  10. Why do they wait so long to wake up, is it the age factor? Similar thing last year, big win on national game against Vegas, just keep it going now. Skinner really set the tone early, UPL was soild "Gold"! Seeing them score so well was nice.
