Damn watch out for these Sabres. Youth, speed and now growing skill. This team will be a force if not this year then in the next 2-3 years. As a Flames Fan, appreciate the fight and chances. But credit to Sabers for the win they were the better team.

So hyped for the Sabres! Hope they continue to tear it up

This game was fun to watch. As a sabres fan, I can really say that this is the best I have felt about our team in the past couple years.

I was here and a bunch of drunk guys were yelling at the BUFFALO sabres to "gO bAcK tO mIcHiGaN"

Tuch 26, Thompson 24, Asplund 24, Mittelstadt 23, Jokiharju 23, Dahlin 22, Samuelsson 22, Cozens 21, Krebs 21, JJ Peterka 20, Owen Power 19.

This is the core of the Sabres that just beat Edmonton and Calgary in their homes.

And you ask any hockey pundit out there and they will tell you the Sabres also have the best prospect pool in the NHL with the likes of Quinn, Savoie, Levi, and many more high draft picks that are succeeding in the juniors.

The NHL is on notice because the Sabres are only going to get better in the coming years and they are already putting up 4+ goals a game other than there only loss by 1 goal versus the Florida Panthers when they still managed to put in 3 goals.

They will finally break the longest play-off drought streak in the NHL now going on 12 years, this year or the next at the latest and have the potential to be a very dangerous team in a few years that could push to win it all.

I am Soo proud of these guys! Playing the Sabres is not going to be the easy win of years past. Hockey is fun again for a lifelong Sabres fan!!

[BillMorganChannel]

Wow! My Sabres had every opportunity to fold but said "the heck with that, we are gonna win" ... and they did!

[ianzang]

Please give Alex Tuch the captaincy I’d say he’s earned. Loving this Sabres team this year NHL is always more fun when they’re good

[Reladan]

Damn, hope the Sabres make a deep run this year. Looking good so far

[JP-prre]

As a Sabres fan I never thought I'd feel hopeful ever again. I'm waiting for the false alarm, but so far so good.

[bakhtiyorallaberganov]

Most amazing NHL game since a new season is started

[woodstocknun]

Calgary got a ticket into this game they had no business winning. good on Sabres sealing the deal in the third.

[JDSabre]

Some people have been saying this since last year... this team is just different. There's a culture in that locker room now, its a tight-knit group that view eachother as brothers. They play for eachother and are having fun... this is the year the Sabres make the playoffs, and maybe even surprise some teams.

What a great setup by the referee on the second Flames goal

[compuserveuser]

This Sabres team is the real deal. (Finally!)

[joeydrummer]

Sabres are looking good. I knew they’d be better this season totally called it. Happy for Tuch from a Vegas fan. Always loved him here. Funny Eichel had a chance for a hatty last night as well so the 2 that we’re traded on hatty watch. Eichel missed his empty net thought unfortunately with a rolling puck. Happy for Tuch though!

Atlantic being strong as expected but Tampa at the bottom lol. Going to be a bloodbath in that division!!

[gunstargizmo]

Markstrom has been a weak link ever since the Flames lost 7-1 to the Canucks in February. Tommy Salo was the same way after allowing a weak shot against Belarus during the 2002 Olympics. He returned to Edmonton in terrible form. Vladar shows the same determination to prove himself as Kiprusoff after being dumped by the Sharks. I think he should be starter.

not a buffalo fan but love that old classic Saber's jersey.
