    those refs and the blues 3 fans can suck it

  2. RefereeMason

    Only this team can make a 4-0 start so stressful.

  3. Tage Thompson does hockey good. I like it when he does that.

  4. MoneybagsMcghee

    Refs really didn’t want us to win that one. Suck it stripes

  5. xBialyOrzel

    Refs tried everything to make St Louis win.

  6. OpabiniaGlasses

    Sucks to blow a 4-0 lead, but on the second game of a road back to back just get the win and get out of there.

  7. stuiephoto

    I still have steam billowing from my ears that Krebs touches the puck “intentionally” while doing a pushup with a 200 pound man on top of him and that is unacceptable, while the borderline suspension worthy boarding was deemed acceptable.

  8. Pens result sucks but if the Caps wind up losing we move ahead of them by point percentage I believe

  9. original_flapjack

    Let’s just play the rest of our games on the road

    As I said in the game thread, based on his play against the Blues, I feel like Tage Thompson would be a bitter, petty ex. Let’s never, ever trade him.

  11. Ikunakaw

    Bullshit reffing can’t keep us down baby. Hopefully it’s a restful Wednesday for the boys so we can keep up the W’s on the roadtrip!

  12. rustcity716

    Great win despite the refs taking the night off

  13. Their legs all died halfway through that 2nd period. Glad they held on but they were gassed and sloppy after getting that 4-0 lead.

  14. Shoutout to cozens for his effort on that empty netter!

  15. LeftLanePatrol

    Missouri has the most annoying crowd noises in all of sports. General Custer to the west and Ric Flair to the east. The whole state is a complete shithole. Glad the Sabres took it. Fuck the Blues and their fans.

    Biggest highs:
    1. Thompson ended his slump with a 3 point night, including a goal
    2. Krebs was flying out there (minus that dumb penalty he took at the end)
    3. UPL was clutch in the 3rd when he needed to be (similar to Andy last night)

    Things to improve:
    1. Getting out of the D zone. My goodness, it shouldn’t be that hard in 5v5 to get to the neutral zone
    2. As per usual, transitioning to the O zone. Dump and chase only works ~50% of the time at best, and the rest are just giving it away
    3. Somebody stick the fuck up for Krebs getting hit from behind. It really took 30-something year old Okposo to send even a small message?

  17. BlackAce_BS13

    Hell of a win on a back 2 back. These are the games you need to gut out!. On to the WPG!

  18. the_missing_worker

    UPL is going to finish the season with the most misleading .899 save percentage that ever existed.

  19. Brew_Dude717

    Sabres undisputed western conference champs

  20. PineappleSockzzz

    Dread it… run from it… the Sabres return to relevance arrives all the same

  21. sarcastic_man_13

    Great start to the road trip. Hope they finish this road trip up strong as they have a good break between Minny and Carolina. Then a long break after that. Meaningful games in February?!?!

    I know it’s a time to be fixating on the standings and rooting for this team or that team to crush the guys ahead of us but aside from all that, let’s just take a moment to really soak in the fact that we’re conducting a legitimate, productive, ever improving rebuild. FINALLY. Our guys are getting better and management is EXTENDING, not trading. Our guys aren’t sitting on the bench looking like someone sucked the fun out of the room. We’re not benching a flashy shooter because he’s more fun than our star. We have no star. We have no alpha. WE (the team) are the alpha. Our guys play with heart,they cheer each other on, they’re grabbing the iPad and going over plays together between shifts. This team hasn’t looked/played/felt like this in over a decade. We took an 8 game skid and at the end were more relieved it was only 8 games than we were upset that it happened at all. And we talk about that skid now and how it led to the playoffs being riigghhttt there, instead of how it sent us flying toward the basement. The single losses hurt like hell now because we have a team we have come to expect to WIN (most of us – I see you, doomers). It’s a beautiful time to be a Sabres fan. I’m glad they’re trying to get it right. 💙💛🖤❤️

  24. Refs have slept the past three games or am I tripping?

  25. TheFerricGenum

    People mad about that no-call on the boarding on Krebs. And I was too. Until I remembered what our PP looks like. So maybe the refs were doing us a favor?

    Kidding, but still our PP has to get better, it’s embarrassingly baaaad.

  26. YankeeTankieTrash

    ESPN+ post-stream be like: “Bitch, we know you busy on reddit and aint getting up to exit the app, so we’re gunna just loop the same commercial 1000x. In fact, it’s our own fucking commercial! LOL!”

  27. YankeeTankieTrash

    Chocolate and bourbon, in case you were wondering.

    Chocolate and bourbon are how you night cap a delicious Sabres win.

  28. YankeeTankieTrash

    Would yall sign old ROR ufa bottom 6 replacement for Ox?

  29. Let’s fucking gooooooooo. Tough second and third, but a W is a W. Onto Winnipeg to make it 5 in a row

  30. fantasyshop

    Sabres record is 9-3 in games starting 8pm or later. 8-2 8:30pm or later and 7-1 9pm or later.

    Our final 28 games! puckdrop is 7:30 at the latest. Our final late puckdrop is in 8 games on February 18th

  31. I am going to say something a bit bold in terms of projection…Lightning are only 8 points ahead. Effectively need 4 more wins over 35/36 games than them over the final stretch and wouldn’t even need the wild card. Not what I would call impossible.

    Not to say I think it’s likely…but there’s a chance.

    3 points out to worry about first. Then start looking above.
