Something I noticed from last nights game. The Sabres, even while winning, were hungry for more. Even when Atlanta had a little spark, they came right back and put them down. They played the full game, something they haven't done a lot, and it got them an 8-2 win. I hope they can keep that mentality of "never stop moving" into next game. |

Another thing is that a lot of the bounces and chances that haven't been getting finished or falling our way did last night... |

I feel like i'm seeing a real correlation between time to rest, and putting in a full effort. Having played less than 24 hours ago, i'd not expect to see the same effort tonight. (I hope i'm wrong, but...) |

Their finishing or their checks again and the quickness of our players is what we did so well last night, from the first since it's all I saw. When this team plays with that kind of speed, and that kind of physicality, it's really hard to play against Buffalo. |

I think it's been Nathan Gerbe. He came into this organization and completely changed the culture of the locker room. He keeps things light but he plays a fearless game on the ice. He's the leader who buried a piece of the puck from the last loss that they had during that 3 game string at home, and inspired them to finish strong and tear up that 7 game road trip. He makes everyone around him a better player through his shiftiness and his unpredictable play. He's drawn penalties at key times to help maintain or swing momentum. Nathan Gerbe is the Sabres' reason for success. |

Nathan Gerbe isn't the reason for the Sabre's success. He's not he's not he's not. He has 10 fucking goals and 25 points. He's a hard worker but he isn't Jesus. |

He certainly contributes but saying he alone is the reason and giving him that much credit for the success means you have a huge boner in your pants while typing that. |

I called Webster. Here it is. Overrated: Given an undue amount of credit for quality or merit in a field; not necessarily related to popularity |

I've got it: Gerbacity. Of or relating to Gerbacious. Not readily letting go of, giving up, or separated from an object one holds, a position, or a principle. See: Gerbe's goal last night. |

But if Gerbe was so Gerbacious wouldn't he have more points? He is the holy one, after all. |

gerbe was downright useless through 30 games this season. hes played better, and hes begun producing. he still has a weak shot, bad shot selection, but hes able to get into good scoring positions to allow him to get points. i think gerbes surge is on his line mates as much as him. the whole product is better. do i see gerbe as a long term solution? no. i think he will be traded this off season, but thats just me. hes proven to be somewhat of an asset. but a game changer? a culture changer? i dont think so. he doesnt appear to be the whiny bitch/douchebag he used to be, so thats good. we shall see. |
