That's the book on the Sabres now. Walk on in from behind the net. No one will try and stop you.

Hitting Subotka with a pass is like hitting a traffic cone with a pass

Are these guys betting money on losing? It would explain a lot.

ASU/St.Johns is on at 9.

Only this team.

Sabres can go to the locker room with the lead, knowing the Leafs will have to score a few more goals in the second to take the game from them.

Just mind boggling that the Sabres can have the puck on their sticks several times but are incapable of clearing the zone.

Sobotka almost with a sweet assist for the Leafs. Maybe next time.

Nelson and Sheary each puking up the puck. Hutton makes "one of those saves."

Can't fire him now. We're on a win streak!

Yes, there 3 inexcusable softees let in by Ullmark tonight. I only just watched the highlights. I'm in Cleveland watching UB sweep the men's and women's MAC titles. Much better.

Which is what I never said. Nice try though, Sabel. I'm not saying Hutton or Ullmark are never at fault. I'm saying you and others immediately blame the goalie for every goal they let in while ignoring the breakdown that occurs leading to that goal. If you leave a shooter with time at point blank range the best goalies only have a 50/50 chance of making a stop. So your team has to limit situations where your goalie has to save your a#s. You love to say how good goalies have to make those saves sometimes. Absolutely true. But it's plain stupid to expect them to make that save 20 times a game! I mean look at that overtime period. Did you see Sheary unable to even hit the pick with his stick along the board? Did you see Skinner turn the puck over in his own end because his teammates skated up ice leaving him alone and double teamed? I could point out at least 5 grossly stupid plays by players not named Hutton during that OT. And speaking of Lehner, how's he doing this year? Gee. What changed? What are the Islanders known for this year? Playing good D? Limiting scoring chances? Who could imagine those things impacting goalie play?

Crazy? Crazy awful. How many Sabre turnovers?

But your fine if they're terrible. What an absolute s##t show this overtime is. What the heck are the Sabres doing?

What a great turnover and crappy save.

But everyone else can have their thumbs up their rears all game.

Sabel? I know.

7 posts correctly recognizing the defensive breakdown on that goal....And here you are.

It's a bum fight

Awesome play by Girginson blowing an easy clear by falling down. He should get an assist.

Power play in top form. Really firing on all cylinders.

Not totally the same. They aren't waiting till the 2nd period to fall apart.

Goaltender interference from our own defense. That's different.

The same is 100% true for the defenders. Aren't they supposed to make routine plays as well, like clearing the zone and not turn the puck over? It goes both ways. You remember when that puck trickles through Ullmark's pads, but how many times have the Sabres puked up the puck in their own end which led to a scoring chance? I'd say a lot more often. Blaming goalies is like blaming QB's.

Sorry. It's true.
