SHAAAUGHT!!!

I get that Skinner scores a lot, but he is a trash hockey player. Watching him on the back check is infuriating.

I’ve liked Greenways game lately

Once tickets start going for under $25 a game I’m going to go and boo every poor effort. Not because it’s my right and not because they aren’t making the playoffs for a 13th year. I’m going to go and boo poor efforts because for some reason this NHL team doesn’t have a coach willing to tell these players their effort isn’t good enough and you should be mad, you should be embarrassed, and if you don’t like it to get your ass back out there and do something about it.

Yeah but he’s giving up some juicy rebounds. Hopefully they can cash in on one of them soon

This might be a correlation vs causation type situation with Bryson. Even in games they won earlier this season I remember Bryson looking pretty bad in a few of them. I didn’t see the last two games he played though. Looks like he is getting significantly more minutes which means the coaches are trusting him more, or just needed him to eat up more minutes with Powers out…

Or a president of hockey operations that isn’t willing to be a yes man for his wife/management team. When can we stop pretending these hockey doofs ran this team into the ground?

How does Granato still have a job?

This is bad for Mule, good for Ryan Johnson. Ryan projects to be the same kind of dman as Mule, so he should be able to pick up some of these assignments. I think he has such a high defensive awareness for a young player he could surprise us all if he gets another 3-4 minutes a game.

Dahlin in the final game for 1 milly. It’s been a fun watch so far. Bob at 35 years old still looks great out there. Made a couple brilliant saves in the first 5 min.

Is that why, or is it because he’s in a contract year?

Or their parents are connected. We had this happen in Niagara Country a few years ago. Hockey/Rugby player, both parents lawyers. Truly a disgusting family with no remorse or accountability. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/christopher-belter-rape-sexual-assault-case-b1960618.html

That’s best case Ontario. 6-8 weeks

Sabres have 34 games left, including this one. Luckily there are a lot of underperforming teams in the East this year. My back-of-the-napkin calculations estimate the last wildcard slot for the eastern conference will need at least 94pts, which means the Sabres will need to win 24 of those games. Another way to look at it is they can only afford to lose 10 or less games. That said, they need these 2pts today before the All-Star break so they can come back with a full head of steam to close out the season at a 5 win for every 7 game rate.

That is a great point and something I hadn’t noticed. Earlier in the season he looked like he was making so many extra unnecessary moves that caused him to react late to the actual shot…

It’s not the players. We have good players. They just don’t know what they are suppose to do out there. This group is an underachieving joke of a team. They should be ashamed of this effort. But they don’t have anyone telling them that because then someone might be held accountable. Can we all stop pretending these players are the problem because once we trade promising players away, 9/10 they have a successful career.

Did we not watch the same game or is the bar that low for this team? That effort was *****, that coaching was *****, this team is embarrassing.

lol, I meant Donny. But at this point I don’t want any Granato near this team

Fire Tony

What is the Sabres game plan? I e been here for the first 50minutes and I still don’t know what they are trying to do. This sucks

Sabres looked like lazy trash the first 5 but bounced back the next 10-12, and then looked average the last 3 min. They need to come out hot for the 2nd

Nope. 90% Sabres fans in the building today

I thought players had to wear a helmet in warmup or get fined, but Tuch, and three Canuck’s aren’t wearing a bucket…

I’m so old I remember when this place was called SabresReport 😁

Idk about genius. We may have seen a better version UPL this year if Adam’s didn’t run a 3 goalie rotation for almost half the season. Still nowhere close to sold on UPL, but it’s also hard to have a definitive opinion on a goalie playing behind this defensive system.
