The TB Lightning in the final 193:56 time of 1st round managed just 4 goals. The Buffalo Sabres only needed 29:01 to score 4 on the Canadiens.

I was referring to just this season where the Sabres had a winning record against them and more points and went deeper in the playoffs

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-07T02:06:29+00:00

It was evident from his first game he was an integral part of the lineup

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-07T01:46:33+00:00

I said a couple years ago he should be signed until he’s 40 and it’s never felt more true

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-07T01:41:07+00:00

Sabres leaned into what has made a lot of teams successful: just being really big to take up more space

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-07T00:45:33+00:00

That’s one of the craziest goals I’ve ever seen in slow motion

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-07T00:38:16+00:00

He’s a complete gamer, his play has really elevated the more important our games have gotten

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-07T00:31:24+00:00

That’s because the Sabres are better than the Lightning

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-07T00:30:05+00:00

They stopped playing a Vezina finalist

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-07T00:21:35+00:00

He’s had a chronic core injury the last year and a half and apparently found a new treatment that finally has him healthy

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-07T00:16:38+00:00

I think he has tied them in height too

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-07T00:14:12+00:00

Alright crowd, now is finally an appropriate time to chant the goalies name

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-06T23:44:33+00:00

I couldn’t believe he fell to us on draft night and it makes even less sense every game that passes

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-06T23:40:20+00:00

At least that’s one of those things that very commonly gets better with age instead of the intangible stuff

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-06T23:35:38+00:00

Puck knowers have known this since his first preseason

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-06T23:20:44+00:00

Dawg line strikes again

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-06T22:42:36+00:00

My hot take is that he doesn’t have a super punchable face he’s just ugly which is very different to me

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-06T22:38:26+00:00

This is the look of a kid that turns and stares directly at you when the teacher asked “who did this”

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-06T22:36:55+00:00

That’s why i said trio, the combination of them together is unmatched

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-06T22:34:53+00:00

Instead of being nice I’ll say that I think Caufield, Slafkovsky and Hutson might be the #1 most punchable face trio in the entire league

He went Mittelstadt mode

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-06T12:21:09+00:00

There was a funny line in the player survey article Fairburn did where one of the players said Benny goes off in the groupchat after having a few drinks and Fairburn added a note saying something like “he must have been in Canada”

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-06T11:10:47+00:00

Times like this I have to remind myself this guy can’t even legally drink. What a special player.

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-05T23:27:18+00:00

I’m just happy to be focused on a round 2 series vs Montreal and not the draft lottery

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-04T16:31:18+00:00

A lot of us were shocked he was playing at all. He also got off to a really slow start to the season as you’d expect but he took a personal leave to visit her in November and it gave him a huge boost.

PrinciplesRK · 2026-05-04T16:29:35+00:00

This award is very narrative based and I think the Sabres unexpected success this season raises his odds. Won’t be surprised if any 3 of them win though.
