Have the sabres left their zone with possession yet this period? Other than the two Hail Mary passes, I mean.

Only watched the 2nd period. Are we really this devoid of talent compared to…Nashville??
Yes.
So much reaching. Just like last night.

What a ***** blockhead! Why is he checking people into his own goalie anyway? Didn't he already injure him that way before?

You pointed out that the Sabres got no shots in the first 15 minutes. So what! Toronto controlled the play when the game began, then the tide turned the other way. It's the standard ebb and flow of a hockey game. You point out that some Toronto players were sick. So what! Our most productive offensive player (Mitts) was dealt before the game. This game was relatively even that was tied after three periods.
In general, the team played hard and well. They lost in OT and gained a point. If you want to characterize this game in a negative light, then that is your prerogative. If you didn't see any positive play in this game, then so be it. I saw this game differently. If you have problems with the divergence in opinion, big freaking deal.
Sure seems like you do as well.
Seeing as slow starts are a continuing issue with this team, I cannot find the fact that it happened again encouraging. That was not a well played game by either team. Even the announcers commented on that fact.
We got a point. Yay.

Did you fall asleep after the first fifteen minutes? Toronto got the first nine shots to start the game. After that, the Sabres got the next 12 shots. The Sabres ended up with 25 shots on net for the game (10-9-3-3) while the Leafs got 27 shots for the game (6-9-10-2). May I kindly offer you a recommendation: When watching the game keep your eyes open for the whole game. 🤡
Are you calling me a clown? Classy.
I did watch the whole game. And actually, the Leafs only got the first 6 shots on goal, not 9.
I know how to watch hockey, and if the outcome of the game was determined by SOG,... well, we would have lost that, too.
None of that has anything to do with the fact that no shots in the first 15 minutes of a game is not encouraging at any level, especially against a sick Leafs team. Nobody changes the goalposts like you.
Time for a break. I'm tired of people pissing on my leg and telling me it's raining.

My complaint today is that no one has changed the title of this thread from 'complaint thursday' to 'general buffalo Sabres posts', or 'comment about anything the Sabres do', as they are becoming one and the same.
I'm confused. I don't see a single sabres post on this page.
I have lots to complain about. Not going to do it, though.

Biggest issues here is the lack of roster spots, sure we could of signed players but then we couldn't have guys like Peterka or Quinn up last year.
That would have been better for everyone involved, including the fans. Actually, mostly the fans.

Yeah.. but his return won't be much more than a 6th or 7th round pick. If they can get more than that I would be amazed and I am sure KA would take it.
Absolutely, and better that than nothing when they don't re-sign him.

Young rosters tend to not have high cap hits; there's no requirement that Adams wasn't spending due to Pegula doing his best Athletics impression.
Sure. And the Tank was Darcy's idea.

No one really. but the trade won't be about the pick for Buffalo so much as moving EJ to a playoff team where his experience may help and to do right by a long time player by giving them a run in the playoffs.
He's had his runs. His name is on the cup.
Why should we care about that?
His return should be all that matters.

This sucks.
Not Rousek, specifically, just the whole preseason starting in March thing.
Someday,... someday I will be able to care about spring hockey.

No, I honestly don't believe there has been any owner imposed cap; however I'm saying that COVID may have played a part into the whole EEE stuff that gets conspiratory levels of interest on this website.
Of course COVID was the reason they implemented EEE. It not conspiracy. It was their zoom press conference.
And if you are arguing that this is all Kevyn's doing, then how the hell would he not be fired by now?!
Kinda ridiculous if you look at it that way, no?

COVID also happened so that can't be ignored
So you are agreeing with that fact that there is an owner-imposed cap, but that there is a good reason for it?
If they would have paid actual players who made the team better, instead of paying a coach for Dallas and a retired Dman just to get to the cap floor, maybe they would have had actual fans who paid actual money for actual watchable hockey.

It's remarkable to me that the majority of people can watch this game with a takeaway that this game was a disaster. I saw this game the same way you did. This was one of the Sabres strongest games from a defensive and effort standpoint. Toronto is one of the most prolific scoring teams in the league. They got one goal in regulation. In overtime, there is a lot of open ice, so there is going to be a lot of back and forth. We had our chances and couldn't convert. And it should be noted that Mitts, one of our most productive offensive players did not play because he was traded.
The Sabres ended up getting a point in an OT loss. If this team would have gotten a few more OT loss points this season, this team would now be in a better position. On how this team needs to play to be successful, I came away being encouraged. I recognize that this is a minority view. And the more I watch UPL play, the more he solidifies his position as the #1 goalie. That in itself is a positive step and is encouraging.
The Sabres had zero shots on goal for the first fifteen minutes of the game.
Encouraging indeed.

Maybe a topic for its own thread,…
Is it me, or does this team have zero on-ice chemistry?
There isn’t a single player on a single line that looks like they have any idea of what another player on that line is going to do. Everyone is just reacting and seems surprised. Nobody anticipates anything that actually happens.
It’s a ***** mess.

This was likely the worst OT I've seen this year by any team. Never seen so many turnovers and giveaways, like nobody cared on either side, in a format that is pretty much possession based. It was just horrible hockey and Cozens play was just one of many that preceded it (by both teams).
The entire game wasn’t much better.

I don't get the Cozens coasting line.... in OT you want to actively conserve energy on defense unless there's an opportunity. If you go crazy with your skating all you'll do is put yourself in a far worse situation of a 3v2.
Skinner's issue is he takes that approach 95% of the time regardless of circumstances.
In no world do you let an opposing player skate to the slot uncontested at even strength. You don’t conserve energy.

They tend to be anti-Buffalo to begin with; just like any other national broadcast has been. The Bills, even being a constant playoff team endless catches flak on national TV because its Buffalo so that's nothing new really.
None of this is true.

Is it me or is this TNT crew TO homers?
I like Biz whenever it isn't TO playing. Similar to Mike Milbury whenever Boston was playing.
When TO is playing, though, he is a Garbage fanboi. It's awful.

What was Skinner doing there?
Skinner, wtf was Cozens doing there?! He let Matthews go right to the net uncovered.
UPL deserved better.

Whatever. My bad. Yes, the Sabres are great and do nothing wrong. I just can't understand why they lose all the time.
