Sure. We did not get goalied.

Skinner was 32 before he got to one. He ended up having to play in 5... and in the offseason swiftly decided that the playoffs were not for him and signed in SJ.

They won 8/9 at the end of March into early April.

Did you happen to watch the first period? The Sabres could have scored seven or eight tonight. Korpisalo was out of his head amazing.

Oh, that's all?!😀

Hoping just a retool, not a rebuild. Fix the coaching and upgrade about 4 roster spots and they can be good.

I’m not trying to spin a positive narrative. Genuinely asking…did the Sabres get points in seven games out of eight at any time last season?

Yeah. Korpi faced a lot of shots but I don't recall many (if any?) saves that were particularly challenging.

Couldn’t agree more. If that’s what he needs to get his head straight, I’m all for it.

Just,… no. They did not get goalied. There was not a single save by the Boston net minder that was a "Wow!", or "Ugh"

Stillman. (Probably already answered by somebody else. Apologies if this answer was redundant.)

The penalty carrying over was the reason the Sabres did not have a shot in OT, they had a 40-19 shots advantage in regulation. The Big Guys are making mistakes and not making big plays in crunch time.

UPL will surely get us rolling in the wrong direction

Lyon had a bad game, for sure, but I think he's the starter for now. That said, give me more Conner Ellis anytime until the Sabres figure out who he is. Don't be so sure about the guy who gave Miller his shot.

Ruff will go with UPL. Personally, would go with Ellis. UPL giving Ovie a hattie won't help anyone's psyche. (Well, nobody in B&G at any rate.)

I just got home; watched without sound. Well, we got almost everything we wanted to see of our Sabres. SOG: Doubled the Bruins. Toughness? Greenway and Krebs didn't put up with anything. Strategy? Fine. The skaters did little wrong tonight. They got goalied, and sometimes that happens. And Lyon didn't have his strongest game, either (goals 2, 3, 4...) but that happens, too. I'm not upset with this one.

Another Cliché: The fish rots from the head. Lousy owner --> Incompetent GM --> Lousy coaches --> rotting sea bass on the ice. The situation isn't improving until Terry gets a serious hockey person in here to run the org from the top down. Sadly, Terry has to pick that hockey person.

I'd rather see Ellis next game. We've seen that Lyon can lose games exactly like UPL. I'd like to see us lose games some other way, or, heaven forbid, actually win one.

A week ago…. Optimism was high as was confidence….. Lyon was #1 …. UPL comes back n Lyon presses (?) …. Chemistry so important… especially with perennial loosing group….. Only October though…. Lots of new talent n energy. Maybe a good time to move some pieces and stabilize…. Trades n such…. When they start to win again, don’t mess with it.

Tage is a piker; Skinner was 33. Tage might get there if he stays with the Sabres, though.

I still disagree. Honest question. At any point in the game did you say to yourself, "I can't believe we are not winning this game!…" I didn't. It's not like their goalie stood on his head making unbelievable saves.

They killed the PP. So you have to give the coaching some credit there if you're also going to blame them for Dahlin blowing a tire, Tage being dumb, and Lyon not making a timely save.

Sorry. I should have qualified if you don't include the goalies where Korp was clearly better than Lyon , the Sabres were clearly the better team

As goalies are part of the team, the Sabres were not the better team.
