Game #4 Recap vs Red Wings

Hello!

6-2 win vs. the Red Wings of Detroit is a very happy thing. Outshot in a period for the first time this season, I would love to see more of their goalie chasing ability this season, Vanek and Kaleta played great, Vanek how I know he can, Kaleta the way I never realised he could. Myers, another game to show that he belongs in the NHL, second assist in only four games. Great stop on that Filppula penalty shot by Miller, great patience there. Overall that was a great game, Sabres befuddled a Wings team from Osgood to Datsyuk, Howard to Lidstrom to Cleary we befuddled them. Great game, I would love to see more of this later in the season, hopefully deep into the playoffs.

Bye!

Game #3 Recap at Predators

Hello!

Great effort by Miller to get a shutout, Myers has been great. I love seeing them shooting so much, they have not been outshot in a period or game yet, they just need to sink more of them. 1-0 is good, I'm just happy that they are shutting down other teams comebacks, last year in too many games they would have lost here. Only team with a winning record + no regulation losses. This game the team as a whole looked great, and I feel like I can't say that too much. :-D

Game #2 Recap vs. Coyotes

Hello!

Can't believe I forgot about recaps! So they looked good in game 2, shutting down a Coyotes team that was undefeated and WINNING A CLOSE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am happy to say that the Sabres (surprise, surprise) have developed a knack for winning close games. Much better than last season, in which too many games saw a 3rd period Sabres lead turn into a tie with very few seconds left, then a Sabres loss in OT or SO. This game they played well, winning by 1 goal and not breaking down to lose that lead in the third. Things are looking up.

Bye!
