They did it! The Sabres finally slayed the Kraken!!

[@MrManfly]

And the color guy is right that with Dahlin, Power and Byrum that the Sabres have some great building blocks on the back end !! 👍🏻

[@thegreatfentoni4397]

@@MrManfly they do, but there is only one puck and I am struggling to see how they will be able to keep hold of all three whilst giving them the minutes that they will want.

[@jeffreym.8957]

@@thegreatfentoni4397 Ummm... most great teams have three really good defenseman. Plus, Power and Byram still have a lot to learn and improve on. Plus, Byram and Dahlin are both playing together on a regular shift, plus the top PP unit, while Power logs huge minutes plus second PP and PK. Tons of minutes available. If you have four great defenseman the 5th and 6th defenseman get less time - not a big worry (think of Nashville a few years back with Josi/Ekholm/Subban/Ellis).

[@quesaisje1]

Wish there were 30 games left rather than 13. The Sabres finally look like a playoff team, but probably too late.

[@trvman1]

Too little too late. Once again the fans will all be excited next year and like the last 12 years, they will disappoint once again.

[@jeffreym.8957]

@@trvman1 What a stupid comment. First of all - there is still a chance this season. Secondly, next year is a totally different year. They are the youngest team in the league with the best prospect pool and good cap management. The future is super bright.

[@trvman1]

Same thing Buffalo, Flyers, Isles fans and others say every year when their team doesn't do well :)@@jeffreym.8957

[@USArmyVet91]

Nice bounce back game against a Team the Sabres had yet to beat.... ever. Awesome puck movement all game... dominating performance by a team that traded away so much. Let's Go Buffalo! ⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

When Tage Thompson and Greenway are in the lineup, the Sabres are an entirely different team. They need to figure it out next year and add some more defense and they are probably a playoff team.

[@Darkstorm77]

tbf they just added biro and they are doing fairly well now edit: byrum

[@buttkick22]

What??? Tage and greenway have been in the majority of the games. They were invisible for half the season. Especially greenway.

[@Fraustyy]

@@buttkick22Tage was playing injured for the first half of the season. Messed up wrist. I personally would’ve like him to recover but he probably insisted on playing.

[@kolasillers7776]

Are you really Jesus?

[@jeffreym.8957]

@@buttkick22 Another fan who only watches box scores? Tage was firing away all season - he had some crazy bad puck luck, but more importantly he was battling a wrist injury. When a sniper gets a wrist injury it's kind of detrimental. And it's not like Rochester can give you a TT replacement. I've liked Greenway's game ever since he came over. He's not Cam Neely or Tom Wilson but he plays gritty and has some skill to go with the size.

[@justinnzamora5366]

Pack it all up, Kraken. This is over. I'm expecting another L on Thursday in Vegas. Congrats to Jeff Skinner on his 7th career hat trick and to the Sabres on their first win over Seattle.

[@trvman1]

I guess they are waiting till the end of the season to fire the coach.

[@jeffreym.8957]

@@trvman1 Yeah. It's always the coach's fault, it would seem. Whether you get fired or not depends on expectations. The worst thing for job security is when your team wins a playoff round or makes the playoffs after missing a few years. If you don't immediately top that a year later? You're out of there.

[@rhysevans4253]

these commentators will never understand. I love John Forslund and i live for his calls, but jesus man, how easy do you think it is to save 70-80 mph wristers not even 10-15 feet away from you that are great shots (under the blocker, top shelf) you have got to look at the kraken defence who aren’t tracking their guys

[@jeffreym.8957]

Yes. Too many shots from prime areas out front.

[@mikaelhedqvist3876]

Thank you Sabres!

[@armiddle29]

home announcer is really shittin on Daccord huh

[@PapaT79]

Yes and for good reason

[@blooddumpster]

Bravo and thank you to the editor/uploader of these videos that timestamps each period!

[@kolasillers7776]

Best commentator in the league hands down.

[@sharkusvelarde]

Cup parade is back on in Buffalo

[@calcrappie8507]

Kraken D has no disruption factor at all. Buffalo looked like the 1976 Montreal Canadiens playing against pylons.

[@FFSRay_Sens_Analysis]

sabres can be glad they're not ottawa

[@user-wo5ck2wb4g]

Буффалят - молодых ребят с очередной победой громкой. Надеюсь не последней. 😅 Жаль, что у бизонов концовка сезона лучше чем середина. Ну может таки надо. 😅

[@CWT10rus]

Если не ошибаюсь, то это первая победа над Сиэтлом с момента появления последних в Лиге.

[@viktorbash2020]

[@louscannon7493]

every team is only 2-3 yrs. away. Lots of upside for Seattle!

Finally the Sabres beat the Kraken amazing

Jeff Skinner and the Buffalo Sabres win over Jordan Eberle and the Seattle Kraken 6-2 🏒🔵🟡⚪ Buffalo Sabres went up to 33-31-5, while the Seattle Kraken dropped to 28-27-12

[@Morpheen999]

3 feet above the dot, commentator says "shot from well out" First 2 buffalo goals are perfect shots.. commentator, Pull the goalie Guy has obviously never stopped a puck in his life

[@kapononamaste5141]

Ridiculous Kraken should’ve tried to make a trade to save the season. Can’t score for nothing. People standing around on offense!!

[@oliveboy2]

If they make the right moves in the offseason, I can definitely see Buffalo making a solid playoff run next year.

[@rolandcormier4327]

There's no hotter team in the NHL than the Sabres I hope they make the playoffs I'll be very happy.

[@marcken1669]

Now that's hockey

[@user-ye8ey6mp7o]

Let's Go Búfalo Sabres 🥅🏒🇬🇹👍

Love it when we get to hear the losing teams announcers............. (That thing where the "goalie says no" gets old pretty quick).............

[@damienchance2622]

The sabers might get a chance to go to the playoffs... maybe

[@boone315]

Awesome

[@AngusArtEntertainment]

I sense a coaching overhaul for Seattle in the off-season.

[@emperoralvis6559]

Good god the Kraken look flat. How did you go from beating the Stanley cup defenders in the first round to this miserable?

[@ConfideKylie]

Injuries/illness finally hit us this season. Plus we probably shouldn’t have got rid of Sprong, Donato and Geekie.

[@arumforyou]

Horrible goaltending for Seattle

[@slavapronyakov5852]

😊

[@Hackfilms1]

Sabres seemed to turn a corner these past couple weeks too bad it’s probably too late but next year could be a good one!

[@thegreatfentoni4397]

They do this every year. They arrive to the season about 30 games too late.

[@jamesqualls8125]

Bad break for the Kraken, that was a game that they should have won. That would have been a belated birthday for Nancy Wilson from Heart ❤️. Awful, unacceptable. The Wilson sisters not happy. And they are Seattle fans,whether it's the Seahawks, Mariners or the Kraken,they are heartbroken.

[@jeffreym.8957]

Seattle announcers really don't care for goals by the visitors.

[@PatG_]

Is it just me or the main play by play guy for the Kraken broadcast is quite a bit annoying?

[@Ryan-ve7le]

3-0 Canucks tmr

[@gonzee3140]

Yeah yeah. If you lose, don't destroy your city again

[@Ryan-ve7le]

Move on kid, unoriginal, overused. I didnt participate in the riot and I agree it looks bad on my city. Stop living in the past bozo 🤡🤡

[@gonzee3140]

@Ryan-ve7le Looks terrible on your city, even 13 years later. People don't forget that Canucks fans are sore losers, so I'll keep bringing it up whether it's overused or not.

[@aaa7189]

Seattle looked pathetic

[@jbry9767]

The play by play guys sounded more like cheerleaders for the Kraken. Very minor league calling.
