Saw Zach Benson's stories today that Cole, co-star of 'Between Two Stalls' & past Ops Dir. of Sabres has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, with a gofundme set up for him www.gofundme.com/f/we-got-thi... Lovely to see Sabres players supporting Cole - he was clearly important to them

Spencer Knight, what an effort 🙌

sWWWWeep for #Sabres! fast & feisty game, great to see them keeping up the fun and energy 🙌 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: A Sens TV Analyst, Rob Ray, and a clown walks into a bar...

couple amazing hockey games to catch up on! Sabres & Kraken both having SO much fun with crazy 2nd periods 🙌 no 🧵, but wanted to share this lovely clip of Duffer & Marty talking about the importance of celebrating Pride Night in hockey - highlighting Not Just Cakes bakery and YouCanPlay.org 🏳️‍🌈🌈

almost turned off game after RNH's hattrick, but I remembered #SeaKraken's 3rd period tendencies - and of course Schwartz delivers! so fun to watch 84-10-38 amidst the loss, exciting peek at the future 🙌 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: 3. these fans showing us all how we should be spending our money

Vvv painful ending for #Sabres in a game that had been kinda even (albeit grindy). Just gotta move on & build on the good stuff from the last few games. 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: 3. My reaction when they should've given puck to Utah on delayed penalty & instead scored an empty netter own goal

The beautiful game: a 25 second sequence in Sabres-Bruins OT where all 6 skaters + 1 goalie fall down, a net is dislodged, and ends poetically with a tripping penalty

Bit of a back-and-forth game, but an exciting OT and W for #Sabres! Nice to see the team having fun & holding their own 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: forever puzzled that St Patrick's Day gets its own themed NHL jersey, but this was a super cute leprechaun (with a side of snark from Rayzor haha) ☘️

Celebrations all round for #SeaKraken on Women in Hockey night! Great to see all the spotlights of the women involved in Kraken operations 🙌 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: 3. Lots of amazing saves by Grubauer tonight, but I liked this one the most - a confident, calm pluck of the puck out of mid-air

thrilling win by #Sabres in the face of McDrai, 6-game losing streak + some questionable calls! 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: 3. UPL's bday was on the 9th - so great to see the team gifting him with some incredible defence, along with his own amazing saves - like in this PK late in the 3rd

Love the Sabres bsky feed tonight for not only updating me on the almost-comeback in Montreal, but also what my primary school friend Cheree has been up to! Seems like she's killing it, and all with a kiwi accent still 🙌

glad I knew outcome of today's #Sabres game before I watched the replay! don't think I'd have survived watching the last few min live 💀 love them for keeping a 4-1 lead nerve-wracking, and happy UPL & team got the win 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: 3. Cozens going for Allen's 5-hole in his own way

Standing ovation went on for almost 3 minutes as the Canadiens paid tribute to Marc-Andre Fleury

happy Lunar New Year! family dinner done & am now both completely stuffed + ready to take on the year of the Snake 🐍 disappointing loss for the team, but at least Kraken Common Thread is there for us with another great jersey design & showcase of artist Shayla Hufana! youtu.be/7m2MfffuScc?...

what. a. game! awesome to see the #Sabres maintain their pace from their west & deliver two hattys + another spectacular night for UPL! 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: 3. Jiří Kulich reading out the starting line up - he's been on such a roll, def brought the good vibes! also Zucker's face haha 🫨

the #SeaKraken came out flying tonight! hoped they'd get at least a point - kept up pace & gave us an entertaining game in front of the significant women in their lives. 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: Beniers was so good tonight!

#Sabres go home with 1 win but honestly, to me, they played with great heart & pace for most of the trip incl. today (after a sloppy 1st P) so good having Zucker, McLeod & Bryson back in the lineup - they all played great! 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: 3. Zucker asking Stu why he stopped his goal

saw 2-5 score last night & assumed ugly loss for #Sabres. but watching it today, was a feisty & pretty evenly-matched game. just couldn't repeat their 3P comeback, not helped by some bad luck! 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: Rob Ray perfectly explaining Lafferty's role & how it's not all about points

Rayzor had 'Win Battles' 2x in his Keys of the Game & #Sabres did just that! great comeback game - the 6:5 drills with loud music def paid off! (youtu.be/hbj_kgCQlu8) biiig saves from UPL & what a night for Kulich 🙌 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: 3. 30 secs summing up the high fight level of Benson

i'd love every Kraken v Sabres game to end in S/O & 1 win each per season. but I'll def take yesterday's game where it was pretty even right til the end! exciting & excruciating no 🧵, but loved this moment when McCann picks up & returns Levi his stick from the top right corner, true sportsmanship

a nail-biting 3rd period by #SeaKraken, but topped off perfectly with Schwartz' 1st hatty as a Kraken!! a lot of hard work again tonight by the team, glad to see it rewarded 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: it's been a hot summer arvo here in NZ, so these ice cream cones looked SO good

today's #Sabres loss was def chaotic: a season-high 42 shots on goal, wayyy too many penalties & a goalie goal! victory value=low, entertainment value=high 🧵 of my 3 fave small moments: this play by Benson on PK in the 2nd - disrupting pass to lead to a 2-on-1 rush. no goal here, but great effort!

Ryan McLeod's 'Breaking Free' play of (last) game 🎶 Hoping for the #Sabres to carry over the chaotic momentum to today's game! #LetsGoBuffalo Inspired by the Dallas Stars subreddit's Celine Dion play of the game, thought 'Breaking Free' really fit the moment haha

Jeff Skinner, Seattle Kraken killer??? 7 goals + 3 assists in 7 games incl. a hatty last March and top line minutes this game stoked for him to get his 7th of the season! miss seeing him more regularly as I often can't fit oilers into the viewing mix, but glad he's staying well over there 🙌

the CPA tried its best to inspire the #SeaKraken to play lights out for the win tonight, but they just didn't have enough for the comeback. gotta shake it off, move forward to the next one thread of my 3 fave small moments: 3. Stephenson doing eye exercises + Montour...reciting?? during the anthems

tough loss for the #Sabres - the team came out with so much energy and it was fun to watch them keep up an exciting, crisp, fast pace for most of the game. UPL - unreal! thread of my 3 fave small moments: 3. George reading the starting line up - he'd been their lucky charm for the past few games 🍀
