The Sabres Report - October 18, 2017
Sabres 1-6, and my thoughts turn to money ★
‘The Sabres lost Tuesday night in Vegas to fall to 1-4-2 — 1-6 if you, like me, prefer to use common sense. Incredibly, they have not taken the ice with a winning record since their fourth game of the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season. Lindy Ruff was their coach, Ryan Miller was their goalie, Jack Eichel was in high school. This was 380 games ago, and barring an imminent hot streak we’ll see that number climb into the 400s. Their last playoff appearance was in 2011, their last series win in 2007. That’s like five uniforms ago. They haven’t won even one regular-season game as a road favorite in more than four years. (They play 82 games a year.)’
Late comeback in OT loss to Golden Knights is a teachable moment for Sabres ★
‘Ryan O’Reilly scored on a 5-on-3 with exactly 10 minutes left. Sam Reinhart added another power play goal with 1:58 to go to make things interesing. And then Evander Kane tied the game by batting a puck out of mid-air with 8.9 seconds left in regulation.’

‘”Basically sitting in a hotel room for 2 1/2 straight days is not good stuff,” Okposo said after the morning skate in T-Mobile Arena. “It’s good to feel like a human being again being out and about and resuming normal activities.”‘

Perron leads Vegas past the Sabres in overtime, 5-4 ★
‘“The disappointing part is we didn’t play that way for 60 minutes,” Kane said. “You can’t wait ’til it’s 3-1 or 4-1 to get grittier. It’s frustrating because I know we can play like that. We’ve proven it, we’ve showed it. You can’t take periods off or you can’t take shifts off. You gotta work.”’
Knights blow big lead, beat Sabres in OT ★
‘”I just think it was unacceptable the way we approached the game. We had the chance to build on something (coming off the Sabres’ first win of the season Sunday at Anaheim). I know this is a process, but the process was a little broken tonight.”‘
Golden Knights spoil Sabres comeback; win first ever meeting 5-4 ★
‘In overtime, Eichel almost put home a magical effort, eluding all 3 Golden Knights, but the backhand shot was blocked. Right afterwards, Ristolainen broke up a 2 on 1, something the Sabres haven’t done much of this season.’
