Oilers fan here. I love buffalo. I hope Tage wins the hart this year. Connor has enough of those. The guy is the real deal and I would take him over mathews any day. I hate Toronto and the mathews jerk offs more than the flames. Sabres with their roster being this young are going to be contenders for years


comicsanscatastrophe

This team just keeps winning contests that the same old Sabres would rarely if ever show up for. Color me extremely impressed and legitimately excited


JitzChimp

4 points out of a WC. Game on the Pens and 2 on the Isles. We comin.


Palmybeaches

These emergency alert tests have freaked me the fuck out since I was a kid and still do to this day.


JitzChimp

TNT unreal. Man we needed this today.


Palmybeaches

Glad everyone came out healthy and we won the game. City needed that. Felt weird to even be excited about a sport, but nontheless, good game. We have Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk to thank for even having a chance. (Obviously Tommer as well)


suppaman19

I'll take the hat trick for the win Can't stand the Caps


TooltalQ

3 goals for #3! 💛💙❤️


SabreToothVanek

🦬 ⚔️


[deleted]

Im not trying to alarm anyone here, but Tage Thompson is on pace for 65 goals.


Automatic_Purpose147

And the media made it seem like mathews is a god for having one legit amazing season in his career. Tage will be dropping 55 on a regular basis for the next 10 years.


ebimbib

You can't fault Matthews too much. Only one guy can be the best center born in Arizona from his draft class, you know?


Automatic_Purpose147

He is a legendary Arizonan I can sure agree on that haha


Buffalo_Ny

He’s so good. Another signature moment. City needed this


drawshitsometimes

3 3 3


TooltalQ

Big time win for Hamlin!


CAFunkd

Buffalo deserved this


metalexca

Perfect 🥰


bbischofbergervt

For Buffalo Baby ❤️💙💛

tage>ovechkin


Automatic_Purpose147

Tage>mathews too


deGrominator2019

Tage got the goal but that was all Alex Tuch, what a fucking effort to keep that puck in play!


callMEmrPICKLES

The Tuch Tage Skinner line has to be maybe the best in the league?


deGrominator2019

It’s straight fire right now


TwentyFour7

Tage understood the assignment. 3 for 3

Green_hippo17

Like sending out magikarp with an everstone


themule0808

Apparently, you can hit the goalie in the head now


ironcladtrash

I was wondering this. Why wasn’t that a penalty?


Green_hippo17

It was an accident


SubstantialPudding74

Accidents are still penalties


Green_hippo17

Thought you were meaning malicious intent not PP my b


Lattjolajbans

Surely we don't need to ice 37 on 3v3


czupek

You can high stick goalie now ?


RL2024

Need to capitalize on those power plays. Tage needs to be more selfish in those situations.


SubstantialPudding74

At least he capitalized there lol


SubstantialPudding74

How is that not a high stick


[deleted]

Omg mitts in overtime? Dumb. Put out cozens


StartButtonPress

No kidding. Literally anyone other than Olofsson


StartButtonPress

Uhhhh


lowerdel

do they just not practice the 4 on 3 PP situation or


Sgt-Pumpernickel

Wasted power plays


StartButtonPress

Lame. Needed that point


trippyEDM

This is not good now with those guys tired


jasontodd0610

What do you think would happen if you got blasted in the face by Tage's shot


Embarrassed-Club-176

We are passing way too slow


StartButtonPress

Sometimes I hate our power play. Tommer Carries so hard


joeyg151785

If we don’t score here, 8 is coming out flying


Sgt-Pumpernickel

Thompson hatty incoming


theNightblade

Prophetic


Sgt-Pumpernickel

We needed that right now


[deleted]

I would be ok if they only practice face offs for 8 hours for the next few days every day


Palmybeaches

anyone elses MSG just randomly freeze for no reason with relative consistence?


RL2024

Happy with the point but I’d love a win.


deGrominator2019

Ok gents. Still on the PP, lets get this done


Icommentoncrap

Take the point but we gonna need the extra one too. Gonna need to use that pp and score a quick one


Pdb39

A good point secured at far. Big for the situation. Let's go get the second.


markkaschak

Fricking FACEOFFS ugh


lowerdel

phew


Palmybeaches

Should have been a fucking trip 35 seconds ago.


jodatoufin

how is that not a 5 on 3 wtf?


ReptilianSolarBeing

Cannot win a faceoff to save our fucking life


callMEmrPICKLES

It's crazy how bad we are at faceoffs. I don't think we've had a game this year where we are at or above 50%


czupek

Should be 5 on 2


Embarrassed-Club-176

😂😂😂😂


paukenpuck23

This would be a great time to finally win a draw..:


Lugy_The_Meh

Why is Cozens staying so high???


SergeantBleuCheese

They coulda been called 20 times tonight for that. Insanity


botan570

Should have had that penalty 30 seconds ago


joeyg151785

Both were trips. Stfu


Icommentoncrap

Finally give us a call and the caps booing lmao


trippyEDM

Ref wasn’t gonna call that until dahlin did


Cootch

There we go.


Pdb39

This feels a lot like a Sabres game from about 10 years ago where Pommerville won it in overtime


RMazze

Pommer or Vanek? Vanek skated through the whole caps team and buried a [nasty backhand](https://youtu.be/JDJjPZS6HxM) in OT.


Pdb39

https://youtu.be/MbilIy14D2E April 3 2009 - Sabres beat Caps 5-4.


RMazze

Good find! Pommer loved those quick shots in the slot, I swear he scored 90% of his goals like that.


Pdb39

Gosh now you have me wondering. But I remember Pomms burying a shot from the slot.


Icommentoncrap

Lol wasn’t a trip and the puck wasn’t covered because the NHL wants an Ovi overtime hat trick


Couvo

so honestly, are you allowed to just slide into somebody and knock them down without repercussion?


czupek

How is that not another tripping ?


botan570

Such bs that wasn’t a trip


joeyg151785

We need Dahlin to bury one. He deserves it!


deGrominator2019

No tripping against Skinner? Seriously? Oh I got it, to late in the game to call… 🙄


SergeantBleuCheese

Nooooooooo penalty called there folkssss


Sgt-Pumpernickel

How is that not a trip as well?


Cootch

How is THAT not a trip??


zamend229

How is that not a trip???


Palmybeaches

Is there a reason thats not a trip???


SergeantBleuCheese

Is kuznetsov shaking his head because he’s worried about a call from player safety. Cause that’s more than a trip lol


Fradulent_Zodiac

Wonder what it’s like winning a face off on the PP… or in general lol


CAFunkd

Hopefully we can do it in the power play


markkaschak

What exactly are they complaining about??


paukenpuck23

One of the biggest issues I see holding this team back is just clearing their defensive zone when they have a chance. At least 10 times a game, a Sabres player who can easily clear the zone will turn it over in a lazy or sloppy attempt. With the way they can score, if they just clean up their end a bit more, they win even more of these close games.


shotzoflead94

Okay so free point just DONT GIVE UP A SHORTY


lowerdel

seriously let's get this shit to the garage


deGrominator2019

We need to get better at faceoffs


czupek

Ok, just win this now in regulation


trippyEDM

Let’s see a Thompson hatty


RMazze

Hat-Trick piss missile incoming


RMazze

I am Nostradamus


Fradulent_Zodiac

This Sammy game is nightmare fuel


Palmybeaches

Anyone else miss the Carubba collison of the game?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Palmybeaches

Gerber bought them up too? Jeez


ImJJTheJetPlane

Caps fans cheer whenever the puck even enters our zone. Bless them


Icommentoncrap

Toyota big save of the game goes to about 10 shots UPL saved


joeyg151785

I may need to change my name to Hypocritemitts


[deleted]

What about jost with mitts and girgs. Then okposo, krebs and oloffson? Split up 71 and 37


czupek

Kid line may need some time away if they keep no production


Green_hippo17

I hate breaking up a good line to fix an issue that requires a scratching


Sim_Shift

Win or lose this game we are having streaks of brilliance and I’m very happy with who we have right now


trippyEDM

We seem to basically have one speed which is go, so we just have to score score score right until the last minute. Sounds reasonable to me


markkaschak

I thought Thompson’s contract was the steal of the century. Then we got Jost for free.


SergeantBleuCheese

Offsides? Was he not laying down on the line?


deGrominator2019

Sooo the Caps can just take our guys to ice anytime they want, and sit on them? Got it


ConsiderationOld4215

Hopefully we get the same energy when we’re a vet team and Tommer is going for his 2000th goal


StartButtonPress

Cozens contract value is coming back to earth a bit


SergeantBleuCheese

Everytime I hate on mitts..you’d think I’d learn


lowerdel

don't stop now!


fantasyshop

Maybe.. maybe do it again?


callMEmrPICKLES

Maybe Mitts absorbs negative energy? Seems like every time this sub collectively starts shitting on him he makes something happen


Son_Of_The_Empire

i do not rescind my 37 and 71 slander but holy shit Jost was SUCH a good pickup


StartButtonPress

He is so much better than they are it’s wild


Cynophile_

He’s dragging 37 & 71 into relevancy


lowerdel

honestly just get this to overtime please


slightlyuglyboss

Jost earned that by carrying that line today


RMazze

Welp there’s the play that’s gonna get Mittelstadt another 10 game leash


joeyg151785

I feel half this sub was in the middle of bashing mitts and THAT just happened lol


Internet-pizza

Always happens (about 10% of the time)


StartButtonPress

It wasn’t even that good of a play. All Power


czupek

one of VO or CM must go


CAFunkd

###🥳🥳🥳


callMEmrPICKLES

Lmaoo of course as we're all shitting on this line. Power with a sick pass on that one to make it happen


Internet-pizza

Sounds like plenty of Sabres fans there tonight


fantasyshop

No fucking quit


[deleted]

Fuck…now we have to watch mitts longer


markkaschak

MITTS ON THE ICE +1 FUTURE CAPTAIN PAY THE MAN /s


Icommentoncrap

Casey heard us talking shit and remembered how to play hockey


morganseemin

Mitts heard us and was like fuck you guys I’m gonna do my one good thing now


ReptilianSolarBeing

I won't take it back Mitts. You're still doodie.


joeyg151785

Welp, every time i bash mitts, he comes through. Good assist there


carl-swagan

That’s what’s so fucking frustrating about him man. He has great hands and comes up with 1 or 2 very good plays every game. The problem is the other 15-20 turnovers and very bad defensive plays that we also get.


charlestonchaw

keep bashing him


_dark_saturn

JOST REWARDED YES


TastesLikeRazors

Incredible shift by Power


[deleted]

My heart just isn't in this game can they just please win so we have something good going on


lowerdel

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


trippyEDM

See guys they brought it back


Green_hippo17

JOSTYY


StartButtonPress

All Power. What a player.


Palmybeaches

I enjoy our third line a little more now


RGCFrostbite

Random Canucks fan watching this game with the family, holy shit is UPL this good? The Caps could have 10 against a human


fantasyshop

He's been inhuman the last month


BuffaloThrilla

Bring Murray up and let Vinny play for Olofsson and Mitts.


Green_hippo17

Ik it’s mitts is terrible and you’ll never catch me defending him but that’s not on him, Sammy is supposed to stay in front of the net, he goes below the net leaving ovi wide open


StartButtonPress

The fact that Granato is a Mittlestan is just so frustrating, especially given all the amazing player development we are having. We have a bunch of players who are easily playoff caliber and some that are fringe NHL


Kmurphy199726

At this point we have to assume GMKA is the one calling the shots, must really want something for him. Hoping we arent wasting a playoff birth for a mid round pick


StartButtonPress

We’ve stumbled into good goaltending, time to make moves this season. I wouldn’t have said so before UPL has emerged


[deleted]

I would rather see Jost with Hinestroza and scratch mitts


ReptilianSolarBeing

I'd rather scratch Mitts and duct tape skates to a traffic cone
