  1. Am I the only one who forgot this game was early?

  2. Icommentoncrap

    Real frustrating game. They played ok, killed all the penalties on the best power play team in the league but game up a shorty, went down 2-0 and never recovered. Even had a 20 minute stretch with no Tampa shots on net in the 3rd. Can whine all about the refs and how Benson chopped off Johanssons leg but when you get no shots on a 3v1 youre not gonna win

    We look a lot worse not playing the 2 teams on pace to be historically bad

    I for one am shocked that “please upie go god mode while we throw you to the wolves in the 1st period” was not as reliable of a strategy as expected

    It’s okay guys, the important thing is that we all have fun out there. We’re all having fun, right?

  6. That loss brought to you by a team who refuses to be ready to play hockey in the first period, and cannot dig themselves out of the holes they put themselves into constantly.

    They have a leagues worst 54 goals against in the first period, and 4th worst 32 goals for.

    once again, the buffalo sabres forgot how to count to 3

    How many high danger chances that game? Slim to none?

  9. This team have no structure, no powerplay. They are skating without purpose.

    Bad, the Buffalo Sabres are just bad

    We absolutely gifted those first two goals to Tampa. Horrible, horrible turnovers. This team is amazing at beating itself.

    And fuck that call on Benson in the third. One of the softest penalties I’ve ever seen. Completely destroyed any momentum the Sabres had.

    All the recent losses, we’ve outshot other team by a ton. Geez. Have to convert. Holding another team to 15 shots should be automatic W. Sabres are puzzle

  13. whoisjavier

    That about does it for any chance of going on a run. You couldn’t afford to give them 2 points

  14. Great-Reference9322

    We have absolutely no finish this year it’s fucking bruuuutal

  15. StartButtonPress

    This team is sunk for the foreseeable future with Dahlin and Thompson playing like fringe NHLers

  16. Independent-Major559

    Where has this style of zone offense been the whole year? I cannot understand what exactly they have been trying to do with the passive perimeter play with minimal penetration in the middle of the ice up to this point. Hopefully they continue firing pucks and going to the net.

  17. jimmy_beans

    That one’s on Mitts. Costly, turnover leading to their shorthanded ultimate game winner. It happens, but go get it back and score a damn goal.

  18. adolce95

    Pretty much a repeat of the Canucks game. They gave up pretty much nothing defensively and were the better team they just couldn’t finish. They have to figure out how to generate offense while keeping this level of defensive play. 

    Oh and fire Matt Ellis

  19. Beechsack

    Apathy has set in deeply.

    Zero interest in watching or going to these games anymore. This team is just nowhere.
