    Only bad thing about the game was we didn’t score 6 in the Goatheads. Big team win and UPL shutout against a good team, just gotta do this every single night

  2. time2fly2124

    just for the record, the sabres are 1-0 with jacob bryson this season

  3. cespinar

    UPL deserved that shutout and Bryson had some good shifts

    today was a good day

  4. PrinciplesRK

    So happy for UPL! This team can still be really good. If our powerplay gets going and our penalty kill keeps it up we will be a tough out every night.

  5. 3rdEyeJoker

    UPL coming back to reclaim his hype would be awesome! My hope as always been we could do 1A 1B with him and Levi!!

  6. Survivorfan3838

    That’s what playing for a full 60 minutes looks like! Especially great job from UPL, would love to reward him a few more games after that performance. Last note, goatheads should be the default uniform, that is all

  7. Prize-Science8328

    UPL can be our starter if they play team defense like this every night… he deserves a shot at the number one

  8. Skyfoogle420

    THRILLING GAME. Best they’ve looked all season. That Penalty Kill is looking ferocious!

  9. xBialyOrzel

    Good team defense gives goalies the chance to win, and still putting up 4. That’s how it’s done folks.

    No complaints about the boys’ game today, just great hockey- even Bryson was fine lol.

  11. brown_and_water

    Jacob Bryson, best #7 defender in the league. Man, I’d love to add 15-55 pounds of muscle to Benson in the next year. Get him nice and beefed up to work with Savoie next season.

  12. HilmDave

    That’s the game we’ve been waiting for them to play. Some little hiccups here and there but overall a complete effort by almost everyone beginning to end. Couple guys still having some trouble knocking the rust off, OP still needs to dial in and relax for sure, he’s still not looking like himself, but there’s time.

    Love the secondary scoring/effort we’re getting this season. Especially since our top guys were snake bitten for so long. Now let’s use this momentum and roll on to Philly.

    Also yeah, fuckin UPL saved our ass MULTIPLE times, I’ll say it.

  13. osamagotpwnd

    1 goal allowed in 2 Goathead games this year. I’m 100% ok with the Goathead going from getting us a ton of goals, to preventing the other team from getting any

  14. Sabres8127

    Hopefully this is the start of Sabres dominance. They played a great team game today to shut down the Avs. I love that we have two top lines running (maybe three?) and that we are showing strength both offensively and defensively. If they can continue playing a full 60 minute game we’ll slip into the playoffs comfortably.

  15. GamecockGaucho

    I did not think a shut out was possible, let alone against the Avs. Good works lads

  16. Aromatic-Unit-3447

    Sabres need to play mean every game.

  17. DSquick16

    Benson was so close to getting his first, keep it up young man!

  18. BroncosFan19

    The power of sitting Olofsson showed today

  19. KilterStilter

    Interesting line pairings but they played great against a good team. UPL has also put together a couple good games here so that’s promising with comrie out

  20. TrueCrimeRunner92

    Delighted to see UPL play so well—earned every bit of that shutout.

  21. Green_hippo17

    Bryson in the goathead gives him special evil powers

  22. ericsando

    Honestly, I’m not mad about the Jersey game either. Road game against a great team and they played decent. This is a pretty good stretch all things considered. Should be their second shout-out of the season. Hopefully Levi is back and healthy soon, but UPL playing like this is a major relief. PK is elite. Let’s go Buffalo!

  23. DinoSpumonisCrony

    Most dominant Buffalo Sunday win since 10/1.

    Hopefully the Sabres can commit to this team defense style while still producing offensively.

  24. LaneMeyers2dollars

    That was a lot of fun! Let’s do it another 89 times.

  25. ITAdmin91

    Upl’s voice does not match his face.

  26. doublebr13

    I take back every mean thought I’ve had about Mitts.

  27. LaruePDX

    Man, I hope we are turning the corner. We need to string together some wins and get back in this. I’m happy for UPL. Well deserved shutout.

  28. Sabrescuprun

    Seems like tage has really bought in to playing in our own end. Loved him and greenway today defensively

  29. sunyoung-luna

    I’m so glad this is the first game I’ve attended this season

  30. buscemiknowsbest

    You know you whooped a team when one of the top voted comments in the other team’s game thread is ‘aT lEaSt We DoN’t LiVe In BuFfAlO.’

  31. adolce95

    Lots of positives.

    Penalty kill had to go a lot today (thanks to a couple very poor calls but whatever), which is fine because that is now a strength of this team. They’re active and fun to watch. Didn’t give up anything.

    Alex Tuch was a menace. I was at the game live and watched him for the majority of his shifts and his work in the defensive zone was incredible. Glad he got a point to go with this game, he deserved it.

    UPL man, he was so good but the defense in front of him was just as good. No real good stuff in the middle, tons of active sticks, and when the defense failed, UPL was there to make a save. I felt bad for him after Tuesday night because he played way better than the four goals he gave up. He is more than deserving of this shut out.

    The slow starts are still concerning and that’s where UPL had to come through for them but if they can not play like shit in the first five minutes, they have a good chance.

    4-5 still isn’t where we want to be to start the season but given they spent the first part of this season trying to play a different game and learn about themselves, I think it’s fine. They’ve prevented themselves from falling into a huge hole and that’s nice to see.

  32. la_fontaine

    UPL is the Levi we’ve been looking for! Or something!

  33. la_fontaine

    Crazy how you never know which goalie you’re gonna get when UPL plays: Ukka, Pekka, or Luukkennon
