    I saw the highlights this morning.  Halfway decent goaltending on Toronto’s part and this is a tight game.  I counted 4 goals that were cringy if I am a Toronto goalie.  If the Sabres team is enjoying some hope over that result, it is false hope.  We won’t be seeing that level of incompetence overall by an opponent again any time soon.

    Was it not, at least partially, like looking in the mirror?

    Apparently Ristolainen mentioned he really wished he had Tortorella as a coach when he was young.

    This is definitely the wrong topic for this to be in. Around the NHL is literally anything else but the Sabres that doesn’t deserve its own topic.

    It was crushing for the Buffalo Sabres franchise because he had a name to help sell tickets. Yes Patrick Kane’s best days are behind him but he has marquee which the Buffalo Sabres need to sell tickets. When the Buffalo Sabres ask for public money New York State residents are going to say you can’t fill the arena why should Buffalo and New York State make that public investment? The Buffalo Sabres attendance is a huge problem now in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo 

    And how many games do you think this would have lasted?

    Wow, broadcasters were just talking about how Colorado has a favorable schedule upcoming. Then they mentioned how the Sabres just can't string any wins together. So they asked Panger, what's the vibe down there on the Sabres bench. He says, I don't know, it's a brand new storm. If that doesn't tell you how ***** up this team is, nothing will. I've given up myself. I will never witness the city Buffalo hoisting a Stanley Cup.

    Late third period. Our defensive zone. Failure to clear a puck for over 2 minutes.  
     

    The 5 Sabres did not pressure the puck.  That means pressure the man with the puck to force a turnover.  They formed a box and tried to cut off passing and shooting lanes.  They failed to clear on two chances. Tage was one of them.   Isn’t that the comment?  

    Not really. My comment was that there were several times when we had possession of the puck and all we needed to do was make a Calm play and fail to do so. I think it was Samuelson that tried to ring the puck all the way around on the glass that was easily gloved down at the point. Tage had the puck easily on his stick and he tried to make it off the boards and it was stopped. I think JJ tried to do the exact same thing. None of these plays required pressure or long sticks. We already had the puck and we weren’t under any pressure.

    Been complaining about our lack of poise in the D end all season. Too many un-poised, unnecessary panic plays, especially by our D when if they’d just take an extra half tick to make the calm, simple play they’d get out of trouble. Dahlin is really the only guy we have who does this more often than not.

    It’s certainly much better than in the past where the “Sabres try to clear but it’s kept in the zone” was an in-game go to phrase. However, there were some really noticeable times when the puck needed to get out of the zone and a spectacular play was not needed. Just an average run of the mill one and they spit the bit.
