Have to admit Benson is funny because he inadvertently nearly swears and keeps catching himself lol

Dahlin looked fine for the most part, if anything he seemed to start trying to lug the puck to much due to passing issues.
Thompson was hit or miss most of the game. Good shifts, bad shifts; effort was there but he was constantly getting hooked and held by Kadri and never once got a power play from it.
The 4th line looked motivated but Dunne is effectively a liability in any shooting or passing situation.
Muel looked solidTrying to think if anyone else looked ok; Ellis the goalie wasn’t bad. The back up sat on the bench well.
The No Goal on Dahlin was a joke and seemed to scare Thompson from going net front the rest of the game. Not that I blame him honestly.
The bad:
Pretty much everything else including the Powerplay being limp
Power, I have zero clue what to do with him. He puts up solid analytics most nights and looked great for the short time he had Kesselring but his net front defense is less effective than if you put a literal pylon out front.
Byram, what happened to you tonight?
Quinn is a glass blunderbus with a scope. He’s either making them or himself look bad, problem being it tends to be the latter
I’d love to know why this team takes anyone lightly? Why would these players ever think they have any right to believe they are far superior to their opponent? Treat every ***** team like you did the Oilers and Panthers; that is what they all should look like to you!

I give credit to a few players for effort but the general group seems disinterested

Just embarrassing, play great against McDavid and Edmonton then just lay an egg against Calgary.

3 points:
1. He was pushed towards the crease and made every effort to escape
2. He entered the crease by a sliver, goalie instigated contact
3. Even if you don’t agree with the first or second, the goalie has at least 2 seconds to reset before Dahlin shoots it.
It’s nothing but a soft ticky tack call that apparently only Buffalo can be at fault for.

Duff is the biggest gaslighter out there for the Sabres. Marty is more objective.
Tough call but not the biggest gripe fans should have.
They gaslight for the Sabres for their competence against fan sentiments. They almost always agree with the league on calls and yet we never get the same benefit from the league

He was in the crease. He wasn’t pushed. It was goaltender interference as per the rule. It was the right call.
He was pushed towards the goalie from behind; you’d have to be blind not to see that.

Duffer too.
Good for them, when do they ever disagree with the league

The stick contact was the issue.
Stick didn’t make contact though, the 2 front angles showed as much

Tage skated into the blue paint, didn't allow the goalie to come out and challenge the shooter
He didn’t skate on his own power though and mad full effort to avoid it.

I can’t recall a less interference Goalie interference. Tage gets shoved and tries to tight rope the crease due to it and the goalie shoves him

The issue with the standings isn't that they're only 4 points back, it's that every single team in the East currently has a better points percentage than the Sabres.
Any team could get hot at any point in time and the Sabres need to be one of the teams to do it soon so they aren't looking up at 7 teams still between them and the final wild card berth with so many head-to-head matchups going to OT. Tampa and Boston are already starting to stack wins where they could get clear of the .500ish mass.
Even so, win tonight and you finish the 1st quarter of the season with 20pts in 20 games. With all the issues, injuries and roster upheaval; thats at very least an ok start. Every 20 games you want 24 pts for a playoff pace.
At 20 pts we’d need to average about 25.3 pts a 20 game set. (The 2 remainders are gravy games) At the slightly higher number we still have a solid chance of achieving our goal. Effectively you need to flip 3 losses into 1 win and 2 OTLs.

Great news on Benson. Terrible news on Kesselring. With his injury, we have yet to really see what Adams’ vision for the defense so far this season.
We really need a better “7th” D over Bryson and Johnson.
While I have zero interest in giving Adams any more time, I do feel ever so slightly bad for him in regards to Kesselring. Unlike Norris, Kesselring wasn’t injury prone in the slightest.

Elliotte Friedman today saying nobody will be out of it at Thanksgiving like in past years because of the parity and closeness in the standings, particularly in the Eastern Conference. He's correct.
Pretty much
If we win tomorrow as well as the Ducks beat Boston
The Division will look like this
DET 20 GP - 25pts
BOS 22 GP - 24pts
MTL 19 GP - 23pts
TBL 19 GP - 22pts
OTT 19 GP - 22pts
FLA 19 GP - 21pts
TOR 20 GP - 20pts
BUF 20 GP - 20pts
That is absurdly close

Reminded me of the Florida game from earlier this year; a full 60min effort where we all but dominated a team.
Ellis is #1G for now until teams get a book on him.

Both Dahlin and Thompson looking like the top tier players they are supposed to be thus far

They are almost mathematically out of it right now. I believe I heard today that they need to be at 102 (give or take) point pace to get into the playoffs which is near impossible.
Let's string 3 wins in a row and get to 20pts in 20 games and work from there

And the captain with 2 assists.
Welcome back Ras!!!
He also looked like typical Dahlin

Tage had a burr in his saddle tonight for sure. He got shoved down a couple times and hip checked once but it honestly just seemed to get him angrier and more willing to just play heavy. Loved him literally throwing DeBrincat off him; he's like "Get the ***** off me midget, I've got a defensive defenseman looking for a winner to pass it to!"

Frankly I agree with Ruff, both sides have done those mass changes all night; the refs calling us on it with 2:30 left is asinine
