The Sabres didn’t need to retaliate, per se. But they did need to respond. That was an alpha moment by Schiff. The Sabres could have (should have) come out buzzing, and making contact, and asserting themselves. Im not saying that the slash and lack of response is the root cause of the loss. I am saying that the mentality behind it is at least symptomatic though.

I feel like the game was lost when Schiffeile (I am not looking up the proper spelling) gave Dahlim that uncalled slash behind the leg near the end of the 2nd. That slash felt like a challenge that went unanswered. The Sabres could have come out fired up and let Winnie know that they were going to have their hands full. Instead the Sabres came out tentative and scared. The Jets sent a message. And the Sabres responded as usual over the last 13 years.

I think we have a new poster drunk posting in the wrong thread on game days for this year.

And you know damned well that if it were to happen, we’d spend another 13 yrs expecting another blind pig to find the acorn.

2% to 6% odds is a 300% improvement, so…… no idea if that math is goodly.

Avenge Housley?

This season is evidence that finishing with a flourish is not predictive of playoffs the next season. Otherwise, we’d be discussing wanted 1st rd matchups. This season is also evidence that a strong finish counter-incentivizes KA to make roster changes. And I think we all believe DG ain’t going nowhere regardless.

It definitely seemed like he was guarding that eye after Reeves connected with one.

Maybe, maybe 5 of those see 100 NHL games. More likely 3. This list is worthless if the team is not leveraging it to make it to better.

Very effective clickbait for Sabres fans. Bravo, ass hole, bravo.

Brad May was drafted to be that guy. Didn’t work out as top 6 material unfortunately

I’m about here. Disappointing that Cozens’ game seems to have become less hard than his first season.

You missed the joke.

Who?

Gat damn that kid took a lumpin’ Is that an ok response? Not PC enough? Too PC? Or maybe I hit the Goldilocks post for a change?

Dammit. I thought the irony was well played. I’ll edit in the spirit of all the non-PC, PC in here.

No.

Insert PC edit here.

I’ve preached this since Thanksgiving. Its not just points back from 8. Its all the teams you need to leapfrog as well. The season was lost by December.

NM is to me the best player in the league right now. He is elite in all facets of the game, and can take things over like noone right now. Off the charts intensity and focus. Absolute beast.

The defensive game may suit his current skillset better.
