Yeah, expecting 1 shot in the 3rd while losing is a bar way too high.
- lacaprup

You're surprised huh? Guess you thought Fogarty would bring a little more offense...

I'm giving them a pass though, based on our lineup. I'm sure they were rusty as well. The Isles really should have killed us, all things considered.

zero shots in the third period, they were playing as if they had a 4 goal lead


okposo as the extra skater


F all of them


I am taking the night off


lazy bastards

You forgot the last 3 minutes of the 3rd they had no shots either, so that's 23 minutes.

Same problem can't score 5on5, I didn't know. Looked like they had the Buffalo Beauts out there.

And a PP for the first minute of the 3rd and an extra attacker for the last 2 minutes.

And still no shots.

And Ralph said they'd be "fresh" 😂

I hope they just do what they did with the Bills and just get hands off the Sabres. Hire some known quantities for your front office and let them work. They handle each team vastly different. Eichel looks done and there's no way Hall resigns here I would think. There's no way I would trust this team as it's currently constructed management wise to handle a rebuilding again if it need to be done.

Terry is the assistant to the assistant GM with the Buffalo Bill's. Don't let their success trick you into thinking the pegulas are "hand's off"

Terry was a big part of drafting Josh, and apparently really wanted mahomes the year before.

He is in the "war" room

Funny, how people think they would run their 2 businesses differently.
Guessing the pegula's just stepped back, this season with the Bill's, because they went to the AFC championship... nope

They have stepped back from the Sabres...Ralph is %100 in charge from what I hear...

I posted this last night, but the Sabres have been scored on first in 8 of their 11 games. That's a simple thing they need to emphasize so they're not just chasing the game all night. Especially against the (frank)in Islanders who try to lull you to sleep. Score first. When they do so, they're 3-0

Go get the first goal

No argument, just saying it was to be expected. We're not a great team when healthy, take half our D and play a handful of AHL forwards, we're sunk. I watched yesterday to see Borgen tbh, figured it'd be a bad loss.

(frank) no.

Burke parlayed the Sedins draft deals into a career that he didn't deserve.
- Wetbandit1

Burke won the Stanley cup with Brad may in Anaheim.

He is a hall of fame guy.

WET1 would rather have Ralph and kagm and their less than 150 nhl games experienced combined.

😀😀😀😀😀

It's the tough style of play that Burke brings that even bothers you more 🤔

I would like to see Samuelsson too, they need some grit on this team, and if need be bring Pekar up. Hate to rush the youngins, but they would bring a little of what this team is missing Grit and Heart.

we have won 2 of our last 18 games in regulation

I can see that. We've all been on losing teams at one time too, when you go down early it is very easy to fall into a "oh this again" line of thinking. Our confidence gets shattered quickly it seems, agreed we need to start out on a positive. After we went down 2, you could tell a few players quit. Eichel, Staal and Miller (to me) seemed to coast threw though 3rd.

eichel looked like galchenyuk yesterday

So the lab plays with truculence and an edge. Can he skate?
- Gr8daygo

Sounds like the lab runs and stops the run.
Plays great defense agaisnt the run.
And can throw (at least average) distance


Flaccoville: could this be a superbowl combination in the making or what?

So did our blogger quit playing like the Sabres?

maybe that is why the sabres couldn't hit a shot on net in the 3rd

Samuelsson, Pekar (maybe towards year end he's still very green), Quinn (see Pekar), UPL and Bryson all should get a look. We're not making the playoffs and the year could end at any time.

So do I put him on skates, or have him bulk up a little more to stop the run.

We should ask Okposo, he had plenty of ice time to see it first hand.

Yeah, he has not been the same this year. I don't know if he finally has said he doesn't give a poop or if he really is hurt...but it's something.

instead I expecting nothing but hall walking, staal retiring and risto getting extended this summer

Him on the ice when the goalie was pulled, was actually a little painful. Felt a twinge in my chest, I almost went in.

he is floating, not injured


cares more about looking like cam newton and less like playing like gilbert


F him
