Bring it of scoring funk is a moot point. The team skills is not at the NHL level and they’re no where close to being a playoff team. The only reason why they’re still in it points wise right now is because the rest of the true playoff teams in the east have played like ass. A double digit losing streak is most likely in the immediate future for the Sabres that will cement them in the bottom of the standings for good.

It certainly felt that way. You could just see the frustration set in. I honestly felt bad for them skating off the ice. There was effort but this lack of goal scoring is killing them more than anything else. Most games you need 4 to win these days. We just are not getting the production we need in spite of the good chances we generate. A few other comments: On the Thompson fight it looked like Greenway asked Thompson if he wanted him to do it and Thompson waived him off. On Byram's goals against. The first one he tried to chip it off the wall but Meier made a good play to steal it from him then it took bounce into the paint. It was a good forcheck that cost the goal. On the third goal the Sabres were changing and Byram was expecting help behind the goal. Power got tangled a bit coming back in the zone but went to Byram's side of the goal leaving no outlet. I can't really blame Byram on that one as he was left alone on an Island. I know Timmons has had a few rough outings but he is way better than Clifton and has been a solid addition to the team. He is a sturdy D man who blocks a ton of shots. I expect he will have better games. I guess we will see if the Sabres can get out of this scoring funk.

All of our goalies are good backup quality. There is no number one starter quality in the organization. We only have (2) top six forwards (TT and Tuch). (3) if you count Mr. Glass (Norris). Team leadership consists of guys who have only known losing in an organization where the owner doesn’t hold management accountable. Tuch is a second liner who shows up offensively every now and then. Trade. Norris is talented but his unreliable presence is a liability to team chemistry/cohesion. Trade. Power is not what this team needs. Trade. Byram will want out. Trade Quinn/Krebs/Greenway (see Power). Benson was rushed.

This young fella is worth a listen. He puts a lot into his videos.

And given how this team doesn't seem to bother showing up against teams on the back end of back-to-backs, anything better than a 6-2 drubbing will shock me. I'll watch out of morbid curiosity.

I just refer to any wins over good teams as "inexplicable" and have for a long time.

That's the point. We don't know. We do know about the other 2

I have no reason to believe that. Why? Didn’t Ellis get lit up for 4 and 5 his last two outings? Not sure he’s the answer either.

Don't count out Tampa Bay. They're "reemerging"!

Not this decade

Was only a matter of time before he was out. Probably was our best D man this year so far. Sounds about right.

No more panic. It’s over. They are done.

They are DONE. Dead and buried. Just add another one on the heap. Changes coming?? Not on your life.

Amerks lost a game in regulation last week by giving up a goal in the last minute against Bridgeport and got it back tonight!

What’s crazy is thinking that 2 games in hand means something to the Sabres.

The Moneypuck simulator has the Sabres at around an 86% "deserve to win" rating. I've never seen a rating so high for an actual score that was so bad. I didn't watch the whole game but from the half I saw we looked really good. It's disheartening to get this kind of result.

I can't bring myself to root for losses but I am ok when they loose. Just one more loss closer to ka getting fired. Unfortunately it may take them loosing out the rest of the season for ka to get canned.

Once he gets Kevyn to walk he’ll hire the hot dog vender to GM. And why not, par for the course with this owner.

Rock bottom? 😂, April 2026 says hold my beer

We are definitely at rock bottom is there is even one Sabres fan pinning for the good old Connor Clifton days 🤦‍♂️

And...the team you play tomorrow is on a 7 game win streak, has 19 of the last 20 points, and just took down Colorado. Things are not looking up...

Moving Connor Timmins doesn't turn this team around though. Even without him and his worst games, this team isn't much different. The failures this year are about Dahlin morphing into a turnover machine (at least it seems like it), Byram getting top minutes but not being close enough to deserve them, Tuch's forchecking and backchecking disappearing to the point he is a liability without the puck, average-to-below average goaltending, McLeod taking a major step back (in terms of HIS play without the puck), a lot of injuires...and other things. Timmins to me is WAY down the list of problems this team has.
