5 months ago: Buffalo Sabres' Drew Stafford scores on Detroit Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood during the first period of an NHL hockey game Buffalo, N.Y., Tuesday Oct. 13, 2009. (AP Photo/ Dean Duprey)

The Sabres are doing something tonight that they haven't really done all season, scoring.  By beating the Red Wings 6-2, the Sabres have at least shown that they can capitalize on the scoring chances they have created since the season started.  One concern for Sabre fans is what the status of Thomas Vanek is, he left the game in the second period with an upper body injury.  If the Sabres can continue to spread the offense, four players have scored tonight, missing Vanek may not be much of an issue.

Since tonight was a Versus game, we have the Eddie Olczyk quote of the game:

"I didn't know collisions started with a K."

Alright, so that was weak, how about the Harry Neale quote of the game:

"There it was, right up next to his jock."

You know, that's pretty weak too, how about Afino with the quote of the game:

"He was Osgood, he then was Osbad….and now he’s Osgone."

That pretty much sums up the game.  Dave will have the official review later tonight.

Been lurking....

DirecTV made me do it!

Seriously – I was forced to listen to the WGR internet feed – and I just couldn’t be part of a live gameday thread.

I wouldn’t have commented but “Bulldog” just had the real quote of the night:

“Who would have thought the Sabres would have outscored the Bills?”

Great win

Just hope Vanek’s okay.

Lindy....

Question: “Days or weeks?”

Answer: “Weeks. Weeks.”

Damn.

That's certainly not good

Losing a player with 50-goal upside is going to hinder anyone…let’s hope it’s only a few weeks.

In the meantime, hopefully everyone continues to play at this heightened level.

I don’t think there was a bad Sabre tonight.

Tallinder was a +5!

Lindy just said Vanek will be out weeks.

It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.

I Really Want to Get Excited

But I can’t get that 6-0-2 start from last year out of my mind, where the Sabres were playing that hard gritty style that we’re seeing now. Hopefully this year the same quality of play will continue throughout the season.

6-0-1. Even better. That said, a win over Detroit is pretty damn impressive, especially in this fashion. My concern is Vanek.

It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.

I agree.

I said this opening night, and I keep hoping that the players are saying this too:

Check in with me next February.

Hahahahahaha…… deep breath……….. hahahahahaha! Awesome.

An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
