And unfortunately the Sabres don't have players that play with toughness. They have to manufacture it. So they are *****.

I don't think they have competent teachers or students. Maybe both. If the LOG line is doing it, then they are getting the proper source material, it just seems like they are incapable of executing. Risto is absolutely the biggest offender. He makes the wrong decision with the puck nearly every time. Dahlin isn't exactly void of these mistakes as well. Jokiharju can make nice plays with stretch passes but more than a few times yesterday I was asking myself what the hell he was doing.

The players away from the puck are the most guilty of this. I'm sure they are instructed to move to the puck, as you've alluded to but it's at the detriment of forward momentum. Giving the opposing teams longer to assess the situation and attack the puck carriers. Almost every pass has me screaming at the TV. I don't understand what they are trying to do.

What I have noticed is the Sabres constantly move their bodies and the puck in the opposite direction of the opposing teams net. It's not every player and it's not Everytime but they do it waaaay more than any team they play against. It's maddening to watch.

It was BS but I'd expect nothing less from the NHL

Good. Make it so.

This is a good point. While I'm thoroughly enjoying this Bills season, I'm not delusional enough to think they've turned any corner. They still seem fairly inept at figuring out anything offensively. Hopefully they figure it out but in not holding my breath.

I'm going to watch V for Vendetta and call this a good night. Remember remember the 5th of November...

You might need to ad md Eichel to make this steaming pile of garbage happen.

Our boys gave all they could. It wasn't enough. This team needs an overhaul. Get a GM to come in and move the dead weight (Risto, Girgensons, Okposo) and find one that will inject a level of grit while keeping to the analytics crowd. If it means moving Reino or whomever, just get it done. We can't live with this constant craving anymore. We need cowboys to take us to salvation.

Couldn't agree more. Sabres were made their bitch, yet again. I'm gonna find a water polo team to root for.

Gotta change my draws

Where these guys been for the last 20 games?

They don't play the same position...

Amerks fall behind as Justin Bailey scores. 3-2 UTIs.

What guy?

Leier with his 2nd to tie it up at 2 on the PP

Imma test the water for the market for outta shape, bald, graying tattooed dads. Maybe horny old ladies will scroll through wishfully on a Saturday morning drinking their coffee. Here's my first pic.

The UTIs have cheerleaders, thankfully not the other way around but they are captivating me this game. Not because of their looks, okay that helps, but how does one end up there. It's kinda unlike any cheerleader job I've seen. They don't do cheers in the traditional sense, they just kinda wander around the arena shaking their pom poms. I'm sure I wouldn't complain if I was in attendance, I just gotta wonder what these women think about their gigs. It certainly can't pay much in effing Utica.

I'd send his ass down tonight.

Congrats on the retirement. I know I never thought I'd get there...

One I'm not sure I understand. So these women put photos of themselves scantily clad on Insta (as the kids say) and they get money from clicks because horny dudes like me scroll through their photos on a rando Saturday morning while drinking their coffee?

Amerks staving off the UTI, Leier scoring from Wilson and Porter. The "Hey if Dalton can get recalled why not us" line. Amerks 1-0.

Teams recall player in their Org to add toughness when needed. I don't recall many teams going full Doug Glatt like the Sabres have, signing a guy to their Org for the sole purpose of settling a score like this week's shenanigans.
