Thank you. I thought I was the only one seeing this. Goaltending is not an individual function. It's the job of the other 5 skaters to take away shots so your goalie only has to focus on one or two threats. The Sabres are totally useless defending their zone. They "get into position" but opposing players can slip behind them with no resistance. Byram has been the worst lately. There's a reason why Devon Levi is on fire in the AHL but turns into a pumpkin with the Sabres.

Do people not see what happens before the goals? The utter clown show of defense the Sabres put on? Dom Hasek would have the same numbers as UPL. The Sabres haven't a clue how to defend in their zone and other teams know it and exploit it

I don't want to see any UPL bashing. There is no goalie who could play behind this team. Opposing players can get behind our defense with ease and no one does anything. Every goal tonight was a Lightning player in alone on UPL. And who drew up that 6-3 power play? You have 17 seconds and 3 extra skaters. How about shooting and sending players to the goal instead of passing it along the perimeter until time expired!! Ponderous!! I guarantee you send him to a decent team and UPL wins a Vezina. It'll be Linus Ullmark 2.0.

Most wins and fewest losses isn't "almost unstoppable?" What's being 2nd best? A lost year?

If the Amerks played that Sabres team that just lost to the Sharks, they'd win. As we see, the Sabres play down to their competition because "they think it will be easy."

How are the Sabres playing on D? How many dumb penalties do they take? Yeah, I think there is some blame for Lindy if he allows his guys to be that stupid.

What regressed is the defense in front of UPL. A goalie can only stand on his head so long before he feels like WTF is the point? I've never seen a team play worse defense.

Weren't all those Amerks players either drafted or signed by Adams?

Yes, if that actually happens. Funny things happen once people leave, though.

He has this habit of blocking slap shots. Let's see if Zucker signs here, and what players are jettisoned at the deadline.

Define game-changer? A McDavid or Eichel? No. Someone who makes a difference with his physical play? Absolutely. He adds to the 5x5 as well.

Someone phoned in from Georgia (They didn't say what town) to speak with Sabres reporter Paul Hamilton. I thought there was chance it was you.

Did you call into WGR this morning?

Naw, UPIE! Any player who wants out is part of the reason this team is where it is.,

This will really bring those season ticket renewals in.

Tage beat his man, then hesitated and allowed the defender to block his shot.

It's not like they haven't played well at times. So why can't they do that consistently? Why do they play like this in their 60th game of the season? WTF does Ruff do? Starting to look that way.

Looks like this...

They have mentally checked out

The entire team having puck handling flubs. What is going on?

Bryson actually skated into his own net.

Is that a surprise?

No one wants to hate on Lindy but how much of this does he own? Where is his mark on this team?

Lucky to be scoreless after that period. Woof.
