No Sabre comes to Tage Thompson’s defense in disheartening win



No Sabre comes to Tage Thompson’s defense in disheartening win

Despite the fact the Sabres have won their third straight, fans are upset after no players responded to Tage Thompson being taken out of the game with a head hit from Stefan Noesen. Who should’ve gone after Noesen? Are Lindy Ruff, Jason Zucker, and Mattias Samuelsson’s excuses acceptable?

Plus, what is going well for the Sabres during this win streak does start with Tage.

  1. Sabres have been bitch made for decades. There are tougher PWHL teams than the Sabres. Pretty sure every player on the team has pronouns in their bios and none say he/him.

  2. And this is precisely why this style of Sabres team will n ever advance into the playoffs. Playoffs are a mans game. I guess they paid zero attention to Rayzors advance only hours ago.Incredibly disheartening.

  3. It is what it is ,signs point that we are soft ,and they are a bunch of softies ,and the king of protection sits above and watches the Buffalo Softees,it's why we suck so what we won 3 in a row we also lost 14? In a row team isn't even close to being a playoff team ,what are we gonna do when you're Ina series in a playoff series where you have to fight every night

  4. If they lost by taking penalties people would be bitching about blowing another third period lead. Damned if they do damned if they don't.

  5. Why are we acting surprised over the lack of response? There's no secret this team is soft. Has been for years now. Just another example

  6. Bunch of pussies all they want to do is be big goal scorers and won't stand up for each other. That is their problem and always has been for years now, all individuals no team players or play for the brand.

  7. May have a three in a row going, just one period from sucking again. Need to be more competitive thru the whole game!!

  8. I want the Sabres to be feared again.

    I don’t know how that’s gonna happen if ever.

  9. I don't entirely mind them not fighting. I think it would have been another thing entirely if there hadn't been a match penalty, and Noesen had come back to the ice unchallenged, but giving the opportunity for the Refs to punish Noesen in my opinion is wise.

    I think fighting is only still in the game because more often than not the League and the refs fail to adequately punish dirty hits. Here the refs got it right. No need for fisticuffs.

  10. This isn't the first time this season the linesmen expected the Sabres to respond to a bad hit and nothing….and this is the problem, since Lucic ran Miller, nothing has changed.

  11. This team doesn’t need a total overhaul, just a selective overhaul. COZENS AND QUINN should be ex SABRES , COZENS is horrific defensively , and adds nothing offensively ( TUCHS stats suffer do to COZENS lack of playing making ability) QUINN is physically weak , and his skating is not at a NHL level. As far as toughness , this is all on our incompetent GM . this team is screaming for a couple no nonsense players but our GM looks the other way . Guys like POWER , SAMUELSON, TUCK all 6.4” afraid of their own shadow. Not to react to a clear dirty hit is embarrassing . Not surprised on the team’s lack of response.

  12. I hope they buyout samuelsson, what a complete joke of an extension and assistant captain. This team is way too soft to even think about playoff-type hockey. They’ll get crushed if they ever luck into a playoff spot. What a disgrace

  13. yes this "team
    ' has a a lack of " hockeyteam sense " Quinn and Cousins both still look like they asleep on the ice but yes you run someone ….Hughes someone , not just take a pass . Tommer wasnt laying on ice it wasnt a cab driver that hit him ,i mean grab someone and beat then down and a least show a spine !

  14. What do you expect from the SOFTEST team in the NHL. Look what JT Miller has brought to the Rangers in two games. Adams is sitting on his hands doing nothing.

  15. If I played for the Sabres I would demand a trade. No way I'm playing on a team that doesn't have my back. Absolutely pathetic. Biggest group of pansies in the league. Yeah we want the win, why? You are 100% out of the playoffs again. This might be the icing on the cake for me. If the game meant anything I might understand. 2 biggest guys on the ice didn't even skate towards him. Get them out for here your soft & we don't want you here.

  16. We had so many hits and exchanges at the time, I’m glad they didn’t focus on retribution and instead kept on their defense to win the game. His shitty hit don’t cost us the win, and that’s key— he wanted to rattle the Sabers. For once I stand with Ruff on this call.
