Third-period woes plague Sabres again in loss to Golden Knights

‘The Sabres are just 5-7-5 this year in games tied after two periods. Getting only 15 out of 34 points in that spot is a big reason the playoff race is once again a rumor after the Sabres showed signs of hope heading into the NHL trade deadline by pulling within six points of Toronto. The deficit is now 10 points with 18 games left, pretty much insurmountable.’

No better fans anywhere in sports than in Buffalo. I keep saying, ‘Be patient, be patient’ but I think this time I see the light around the corner. I really do.”‘

Sabres fall to Golden Knights 4-2

‘If the Sabres were looking to play meaningful March hockey, their results after their first two games after the trade deadline at the end of February don’t show it.’

Same effort, but same result for the Sabres

‘I thought the Sabres fought hard, especially as the third period went on, but it was too little too late after the defensive lapse that allowed the home team to roll to their eighth straight win of the season.’

Sabres increase pricing options for season ticket holders

‘It was also stated on Friday that the organization is taking more of an initiative to be interactive with the fans through this process by assigning every season ticket holder a representative in order to enhance the fan experience.’
