Hello fellow masochists! Ready to go another round?
The Sabres are riding a two-game losing streak from consequence of playing bad.
How can the Sabres win?
* Do not play the entirety of the game in the defense zone. The consequence leads to more goals against and criticism of the goaltender.
* Score goals. Shooting the puck is a start. Finishing the shot with the goal scored is not happening enough.
* Coaching needs improvement. Good coaching involved holding players accountable.
I feel bad for the players. They aren’t trying to suck, but yet again they do and are going to play in an empty arena on a Sunday because of it.
I don’t feel bad for Pegula or GMKA though, no one else should feel like it’s their fault other than them
This is the most automatic 4-2 victory of all time
I bought tickets to this game weeks ago, before realizing it’s the second in a back to back. But I’m 2/2 in attendance this year, so, fingers crossed?
