Sabres Outlast The Habs In Montreal – Postgame Thoughts



Sabres Outlast The Habs In Montreal – Postgame Thoughts

Hey fool you ready for another beating you should have never came [Applause] Back there is never ever folks a bad time to beat the Montreal Canadians so I’m very happy with this one of course and I’m going to try to read without my glasses it looks like guys did I did I yeah I can do it okay guys let’s go

Let’s look at the numbers we’ll talk talk about it all right Mel outshot us 31-23 they had 65% of a face sa the Sabers only had 35 they were 044 on the power play we were one for three they had 14 hits in the game the Sabres had

19 Montreal had 19 blocks the Sabres had 15 they had 12 giveaways the Sabers had nine and nine takeaways a piece shots on go per period 98 Habs in the first 11 a piece in the second and the Habs with a good margin in the third at 114 for that 3123 total

Scoring Jacky gets the first goal at the 1241 Mark of the first one- nothing Habs after one we go to the second I’m going to try to see the assist guys here because it looks like for Montreal it was Roy and card from what I see uh

Second period gurgenson on a nice tip from Yoki Haru who made that play and it was delene getting the other assist tying it up 1-1 at the 420 Mark struble makes it two to one Habs at the guys bear with me here the 613 oh my

Goodness my glasses are here give me a sec guys they are here I thought I left them in the living room all right there we go that’s 6:35 mark from Roy and new hook and the Habs killer Skinner on the power play gets his 18th from cousins and

Thompson ties it at two a piece at the 928 Mark and of course Montel Buffalo we always get these 3-2 games and Tuck short-handed unassisted goes in on the breakway scores at 1808 to the second that’s your game so my friend was calling me and teasing me before the game again how the

ABS are always going to beat the sabers and uh guys I’m I’m definitely like a happy camper because this would have been a real rant video I know it I would have lost my mind if we lost this game it’s been too hard this year

Already as it is to go and start losing games to Montiel and have my friends calling me and bugging me no no no like I’d ride her the Sabers like not lose this one so here we are again you know if we would have won last game in

Regulation here we would probably we probably would have won tonight maybe it would have changed the outcome I don’t know I’m not a big believer that you can look back at a game and say it would have had a uh um no impact on the following game because it always does

Emotionally the Sabres came in maybe more desperate than they would have if they would have beaten Anaheim you know and uh again uh in Nets um UPL looked good he looked good so you know they kind of got lucky I thought them both goals so to the Habs fans Olay oay Olay

There you go so right now I’m just going to check the standings quickly to enjoy this while it’s even this close uh are we within nine is my question no we’re 10 eh yeah we’re still 10 here’s the thing okay we are uh 10 points behind Detroit I don’t want to count on

Catching Detroit they have a lot of momentum going this year they’re one of the oldest teams in our division they are if you check they’re one of the oldest teams they’re older than Boston and they’re older than this is an old team this Detroit team they’re 29 years old folks this team’s

About three and a half years older than the Sabres they are uh but Philadelphia is possible they could collapse okay it’s possible they could collapse and so could Tampa and the Sabres would have a chance to squeak in there if Jersey doesn’t get hot because Jersey second youngest team in

Hockey a step backwards this year happened to New Jersey let’s not forget that we’re going through it but so is New Jersey after after that big year they had last year they’re they’re sitting five games over 500 but look we have 22 regulation wins they have 23 so

They’re hurting over there as well jerseys possibility I think we can catch the Islanders I think we can catch the capitals and the Penguins I think we can catch all these teams I question Jersey I question Detroit uh Tampa I think we could catch and Philadelphia

So the thing is three have to get in over there so there would have to be another team that was possibly New Jersey would catch Philadelphia eventually we’ll see I don’t want to get too far caught into the playoff race guys but I’m just giving you some

Thoughts going on in my head after a win you know the thoughts clear up a bit you feel a little better uh just about things I mean my God this game we lost 10 I’m still I’m sick sick to my guts still about it that we lost that game I

Can’t help but feel that those two Anaheim losses if the Sabers get on a run is what’s going to come back and haunt us when this The Season’s all said and done like last year we missed by a point if we miss let’s say by four

Points this year there it is the two losses to garbage Anaheim you know and it’s nothing against their franchise but my goodness that team’s a joke right now and we should be beating on them when we play them what are you doing hey come here come here hold on guys hold on here

We go and we have a little guest yes we do Rosie has entered the building folks and she watched the whole game with me and all she cared about is that she got love treats and cuddles and she didn’t care too much about the hockey tonight

She was more into the um more into the uh just getting love hey you just wanted to get Love Tonight e so this is a big win still I know it’s two games under but I don’t want to roll over I don’t want the Sabers to roll over and die

This year I want I want to hope that the last 20 games I can go like 162 and two like I still hold out hope I do and uh you know or 124 and 2 whatever it is 12 14 4 and two the last like you know

20 games and see what happens but uh right now anything I I I’m going to take anything as a fan guys anything as a fan and the truth is guys I love beating the Canadians I just love beating the ABS I I love it it’s it’s my favorite thing in

The National Hockey League is when the Buffalo Sabers beat the m all Canadians is for me the greatest feeling every time so I was happy they won I wasn’t getting carried away thinking like oh we’re going this is going to happen none of that guys I’m

Just going to root them on and hope that we can come out of this long dark tunnel to some place of neutrality where we feel like safe and protected eventually we get to the end of this tunnel and we feel as fans a little safe again you know like this this feeling

That this team I mean I’m seeing the Sabers channels was one I I seen and there’s no way I’ll give it a shout out after the things they were saying about the team was a Buffalo Bills channel anyway but to go and take purpose cheap shots at the team right now isn’t going

To change nothing okay we need changes to change something not our criticism that’s not going to do anything I could sit here and dog on the Sabres all night long guys it’s not going to change what Kevin Adams is thinking he doesn’t care what I think so right now I just

Want to see the team somehow some way get uplifted from this spiritually whatever it is emotionally spiritually physically anything just any kind of uplift heading into future games anything that a spark happens I’m waiting for that spark this year and I’ll tell you losing this game to Anaheim God guys there’s a three-game

Winning streak right there if you want to do it I mean you know we could have been 500 tonight again but again we you know we as Sabers fans have to wait and suffer okay this is part for the course because when they win their first downley cup and they

Will win their first downley cup one day it’s going to be that much sweeter we went through all these times my goodness how much do we have to endure I don’t know I’m a stubborn fan I’m here for life so I am and what what what are you

Doing she gets in these little frame of Minds where she’s shaking what you doing he my little cuckoo dog yep she’s uh she’s in a she’s in a good little mood tonight I guess she senses I’m happy because of this game you know my God guys if we would have lost

Today I don’t know if I I would have been I think I would have pouted all night long honestly I don’t know I’m just happy they won I’m happy the boys got another win and and again we’re not I’m not going to say within grasp of the

Plus but we’re in grasp of getting over 500 again like we just got of get on some kind of a run something has to happen let me just check something guys before I uh close up shop cuz I got a big giant bin of garbage I got to take out

Um let’s go check the saber schedule just for a second I’m happy I’m happy for them you know like the these guys were heartbroken last game when they lost they were but it’s like guys you can’t expect the fans Not to chant like fire Granada one you can’t expect that fans

Are fed up all right so we got Columbus guys next game we got we’re in Columbus next game I’m not taking that for granted they just fired their GM maybe their players will be fired up who knows we can’t take that for granted Carolina at Buffalo I’m I as much as it sounds

Wrong I think we’re going to win that game okay I think we’re going to win that game we’re due to win at home we’re due to beat Carolina how many times have they beaten Us in the last few years by one goal in games really we should have

Won I think we’re going to beat Carolina Florida that’s a whole other Beast right there in Florida in Tampa then we got Vegas at Buffalo guys we got some toughies coming up and we’re either going to like and then we got winipeg at Buffalo Buffalo at Toronto but we always beat Toronto

Usually so we we concentrate right now on getting to one game under 500 and then Carolina’s in town and then we got we’re in Florida and oh my goodness we just got to write it out truth is we shouldn’t be worried about playing anybody we were supposed to be

One of the top six teams in the League this year I believed coming into this year the only teams I could see that could be better than Buffalo this year was Boston I didn’t think Florida would have the kind of year they’re having um Florida right now guys are number one in

The league in shots again just so you know Buffalo is number 10 in shots on goal in the NHL this year just so you know that’s a stat I was I was breaking down some things this morning I should have done inside the numbers video I’ll

Get on it eventually I got to have some some momentum with the team to want to do a lot of stuff and it and it this year is killing me emotionally as a fan it just is it’s been hard guys hard to talk about this team because I believe this year also

They were going to have one hell of a good year you know I was hoping this year about 25 games over 500 is what I was hoping for this year before the season started but I was worried about the lack of physical play and how terrible we are defensively I figured

The added defenseman would help I did with Johnson especially with that with that that leadership and Clifton with his physical play I thought that would be a good fit so far it’s bounced back at us I think I think we should not worry about moving Clifton though I

Think that would be a mistake I do I think Clifton will find his way in this team and we just got to be patient and then uh move Johnson at the deadline I figure look there’s a lot here that we can be grateful for that we have as a

Team when it comes to Personnel it’s just on the ice we I don’t believe we have the right guy behind the bench we could have lost that game tonight guys we could have we got to get it we got to make a coaching change and the thing is every time we

Win a game and I’m happy I know that means Granado is here at least two or three more games no matter what happens now you know I I they’re probably going to wait till the end of the year maybe to make a coaching change maybe but I

Think they should do it now and let the the new coach come in with his system and his coaches get rid of all the coaching the whole staff and bring in a coach with his coaches and let them Implement their system on this team now

Before the end of the year so we could see if it’s a fit too we want to know so I am this is where I stand guys with things still I’m not changing my mind on that but I’m happy we won we beat the Habs good with it I’ll see you guys soon

I’m going to take my uh little angel here who’s looking very very sad like she’s an abused animal she’s looking at me sad like you know come on the queen wants to go out you know what’s going on here she’s giving me that kind of look

So I’m going to take Rosie out I’ll see you guys soon have a good night at least try and enjoy this one guys see you Soon

Hey folks, at least tonight has a happy ending in this one as the boys once again play with our nerves and eventually win a tight one in Montreal..thanks for watching 😎

  1. Does the whole season come down to the powerplay being lousy? Goaltending was all I thought they needed, and they got it, yet here we are.

  2. I truly believe that with how these players strongly support Granato enough to start snubbing the fans by no longer saluting them after wins because of their calls to fire him, all it would take to turn this team around is for Granato to FLIP A TABLE after a loss! With how meek and coddling Granato seems to be when it comes to the lack of effort, if he goes into that locker room with that kind or anger and frustration, the players will respond in kind if they really believe in this coach and want him to stay!

  3. When it comes to moving Johnson at the deadline, I hope that Adams cashes in on one of those “Future Considerations” we’ve collected from a playoff team and convince them to overpay slightly for him. Not sure what that could look like, but if a Cup contender wants to bring in Johnson, for ALL the reasons we brought him in in the offseason, I hope it’s not for a 7th Round Pick…..or worse.

  4. I gave some thought to the Sabres staff today…namely Granato, his assistants and Kevyn Adams. I have to reflect on how good Adams and Granato are in how they built the team in pretty much 2 seasons. I know we put a lot of blame on Granato and want him gone (including myself), but in all honesty….I keep thinking of how we let go Lindy Ruff go and look what he did in NJ. I think Granato would be picked up by another team immediately. Now his assistant coaching staff should def go. I know the locker room loves their coach. I do believe in GMKA…we just need some kind of heart out of this squad. Overall I do know GMKA and Granato came into this mess of 10 or 11 years missing the playoffs. GMKA has a plan to start with youth and ride it out.

  5. Ik you are gonna think I’m crazy but I don’t think making trades will help this team under Granato. What’s the point of making trades for good players when they are gonna have to use Granato shitty system. We will be right where we are now.

  6. Wins a win Wayne ! Love it . I didn’t love seeing Casey get dummied 4 straight times ! I wish we had someone like that on back end …. I will give props to Jordan’s edge tonight , he needs to be applauded and continue that , I believe he’s a good gritty asset moving forward . My deadline wish is rasmus anderrson and either Jenner or Laughton for grit purposes . It’s time to overpay . The guy I would move is Rosen , I don’t think he’ll be that good .

  7. It was nice to see Peyton "Big Daddy" Krebs finally potting a goal! Coming into this game our beloved Peyton had put only one biscuit in the basket in his last 26 games!

    Krebsy scores less than I did in high school!

  8. Your channel is the only positive vibe i see on social media. Im getting hammered on the Facebook pages. Oh well its that type of year.
    But today i can smile…Go Sabres!

  9. Montreal fans are talking about Slafkofsky like he’s better than Rocket Richard, I didn’t see him do anything in the game

  10. These two teams are mirror images of each other. Both relying on speed and skill to win games. Neither team is big on Hitting. Although, that hit on Girgensons coming across the blueline was classic no? I watched a couple of Sabre's, pass up at least two huge opportunities to lay guys out at our own blueline. Apparently, as per the coach…

  11. We're buried so deep now that even when they win, it feels hollow. Nothing like last year at this time. But for UPL, this could have easily been a loss.

  12. Waynsey…The boys tried to give this one away but UPL stayed tough. Beating the Habitants in their barn is a nice touch.

  13. Buffalo did go 2-1-1 against the Habs, so it was nice to technically win the season series. And of course, Buffalo would look a lot better if not for those losses to Anaheim, Montreal, and Columbus. If Buffalo would have just beaten the teams we were supposed to beat, they'd be a lot closer to where Detroit is in the standings.

  14. Montreal plays a lot like Buffalo, they love to give away the puck, give up odd man rushes, and take penalties when they have the goalie pulled. Nice to get the W, it could have gone either way. Hard to believe Xhekaj wasn't drafted. Buffalo needs more scouts, last I knew they were tied with Arizona and Edmonton for having the fewest number of scouts in the league.

  15. I'm so sick of Tuch. One night he plays like this and hustles. The next night he is lazy, barely skates and has zero urgency. Could say the same about the entire team

  16. Despite the current state of the season, I continue to be impressed by UPL. He is now at 2.52 GAA on the season, has allowed more than 3 goals just once in his last 15 games and has allowed 2 goals or less in 11 of those 15 games, along with those 3 shutouts. He has been very consistent and also improved when it comes to reading the play and being in the right position along with better rebound control. If he continues to play like this, the Sabres will at least have a chance to make a run.

  17. Of course we won! It's the win/lose see-saw.

    Now go and bet the SOULS OF YOUR CHILDREN we'll lose to Columbus because we can't win 2 in a row.

  18. Even though Sabres were sloppy at times I did like some of the hits that were delivered. It seemed like Cozens and Greenway layed out some good ones.

  19. Which number will be higher this year:
    1. Number of total lunar eclipses
    OR
    2. Number of Sabres three game win streaks
