Jesus Levi what the fuck was that
Powers what r u doing man
Is it wrong of me to think we should keep mittlestadt and trade cozens?
Sad
Another also ran season.
Whoop! Whoop!
Why is the crowd so quiet? They should be consistently booing
So Granato bought some time with that 2W streak, or firing was never on the menu ?
Power really needs to be sat at this point. He’s softer than Tuch’s smile.
Remember everyone saying Clifton was problem, lol…. Clifton and Sammy only ones not in the minus here, again.
This game is going to end up being a blowout. Only one team playing out there
Probably the last thing you want to see in a teams fans is apathy and boy am I getting there again. A waste of time to watch this team half the time, if even.
What is it with teams having a skater between their goalie and the forward. It’s really lame and means we can’t score.
I love this team way more than they deserve to be loved 😔
To think we thought we might actually win 3 in a row this season.
They absolutely muted the boos quick on the commercial break
Whelp looks like we still haven’t beaten the Kraken. Piss slammed once again.
There has to be a complete and utter lack of accountability in the locker room. Can’t believe what I’m seeing on a regular basis, somebody needs to get berated but the play says that never happens.
Yeah, we’re playing some Donny Granato hockey now, buddy!
Two (so far) Devon will absolutely want back, and probably a third he thinks he should have considering he got a glove on it. Combine that with the fact that the pace of the game went to sleep there for a little and that’ll make for a night like this.
Edit: they gave up five shots that whole period. Three goals, five shots. Yuck.
Well. So. Who are we hoping to get with our lottery pick this year?
That Borgen guy looks pretty good, we should draft a guy like him
The Sabres defensive system -> lol who plays defense
Worst day of work in 2 or 3 years. Normal 30 minute commute takes over an hour because of weather. Almost in two accidents because of idiots who can’t drive in snow. Get home, shovel 3 flights of stairs and two driveways. Gee I can’t wait to sit down with a beer and watch the Sabres game, I hope they’re winni….
February 2011 Terry Pegula said “the Buffalo Sabres’ reason for existence will be to win a Stanley Cup”. They still haven’t made the playoffs. I wonder who’s the problem 🤔
Sounds like I have both a jet engine and a fire hose blasting my house right now but the Sabres decided to fold like a card table, so I got that going for me at least.
Weird thing is that XGoals are about even, only favoring Seattle 2.68-2.33.
Edit: apparently people here hate facts lol I guess I should clarify that I think the difference should be greater in favorite of Seattle. It feels that way anyway.
I shudder thinking about what the Bills would look like if Pegula didn’t fall ass backwards into McDermott and Beane. Could easily be looking at as bad a team as the Sabres have been.
Had to step out for a bit. Hope I didn’t miss anything
oh…
Rayzor with the inappropriate comment of the night: with the snatch
I hope the boys have had some time to reflect after getting boo’ed off the ice
We’ve come back from worse with less time let’s fuckin go
