If the Sabres shooters could hit the broadside of a barn it could have easily been a 6 or 7 to 5 Sabres victory. At least 4 open nets were shot right in to the goalie or, worse, wide or high, a common trademark of Sabres shooters as of late.

That couple of minutes was a bad move and put the momentum on Philly’s side. The Sabres were done and played without the extra effort for most of the game. There needs to be a major house cleaning but TP probably still believes the answer is in the room. This forum has way better answers.

Man, that game was a gut punch. I thought we were different with Norris back.

Piss poor effort. Blaming it on puck luck. What BS, suck it up buttercup. This is the NHL not backyard ball. The puck does not have a brain and if you are lazy it will find you.

Let's not forget Ersson let in three goals last night but had the third overturned. He was beat by Benson moving across the crease. Before that he waves at a puck Byram scores on and let Zucker beat him five-hole on the power play. The rest of the night the Sabres hit him in the crest. Don't forget the goal Ellis allowed when a Flyer hit his blocker with his stick. No GI call because Buffalo. We seen to have different standards for goalies depending if they are Sabres or the opponent.

I liken it to watching your kid play youth sports. You follow their every movement and see what you want to see because you want the best for them. Then they go up against “real” competition and you find out how good they really are. And it’s deflating.

Well, not anymore for $290 a piece. ***** ridiculous.

None of them are the solution.

I edited my post to an A- because of the first goal Ersson let in. (Zucker) Ellis had a far more difficult job last night because of the greater number of dangerous chances he had to stop. Proof the NHL has different rules for the Sabres

While you were enjoying the concert, we got to watch our own Psycho Killer! "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" in the Sabres instance is French for WTF?

They’ve so far avoided their annual mid/late November 10+ game losing streak. Which, as I pointed out, has become an annual event.

This team shows over and over they are poorly coached and are the least experienced in the league.

He is not playing very well in Rochester right now. Elevating a slumping goalie is no answer.

@zow2 thinks we have a four headed monster, apparently.

Lyon

At this point I'd agree. Bring up Levi, mix him in with UPL and maybe you will find lightning in a bottle. I went to that Devils game a week ago, I'd let go of Lyons and keep Ellis. Lyons just looks slow and small in the nets.

I feel like a broken record after these losses but again it comes down to converting chances. Most teams are going to lose only scoring 2 goals. This is another night where pucks that should be in the net are not going in. Doan could of had a hat trick last night but nothing worked out. Tuch, Thompson, Norris all not converting good chances. I don't know why. A lot of wide shots last night. Yes there were other problems, coverage, goaltending, and coaching. This team gets enough good chances that they should be able to outscore those issues on most nights.

Team USA jerseys go on sale in 90 minutes. I try not to be much of a consumer these days, but I’ve wanted an Olympic jersey as long as I can remember. I’ll be getting matching one for me, my dad, and my son as our Christmas presents. Matthew Tkachuk for my son, blank for my dad, McAvoy for me.

Why? What made you think they turned the corner?

Glad I couldnt watch... cancelled paramount... So much for hope meh same old Sabres careening to last place

They went to Timmy Ho's for a double double and some Tim Bits!

Was very hopeful they were turning a corner. very poor performance overall, from everyone. Teams will have games like this, the Jets just had one against us, and ya know what they did? They held a closed door players only meeting where veteran guys like Lowery went off on the roster about its performance, telling them, not asking them mind you, but telling them to hold themselves to a higher accountability. what did the Sabres do after this game? Nothing, that’s what. They accepted that performance as acceptable and moved on to the next. That’s a problem.

I don’t think it’s about jumping on the bandwagon. Speaking for myself, I want to enjoy Sabres hockey so much that I’ll tell myself they are something they’re not at the faintest glimpse of hope. I know I’m lying to myself, but I want to believe.
