The problem now is that this team showed zero improvement this year and as it looks now, offers no hope for next year as they are at least 4 GOOD players short from being a playoff team.

Hopefully Rangers make it to ot

Must win.......for Montreal. Huge game for them and i hope they get the 8 seed.

Just sign him already so i can put this team out of my head until October. That and royal blue unis....that's all i have left to care about

There are no answers because they suck in a different way every single game. Nobody in the organization knows how to fix it other than drafting high and picking the obvious choice Their drafting and trades are awful...and the coaching is disastrous

I like Hutton At least new jersey and ottawa are back to back so we know we won't win both

Are we really going to keep a coach that can't win 2 games inafcknrow

Way to go idiots

Mitts, Nylander, and thompson ALL have to turn out as good as advertised for this team to have a chance next year.

What a team! What A TEAM!!!!! #5, here we come

Would love a win tonight and trying to figure out if I'm going or selling....again

I don't think anyone is trying to say that hitting more will produce more wins, I am trying to say that until this team gets out of its own way, try other things that will at LEAST get the crowd engaged.

This really is not as complicated as people are making it. 75% of the time this team looks disinterested.....they are professional athletes, step up the aggressiveness (checking, hitting, getting back to the play, whatever) - just step it the F up!

Yeah, that's what I am saying. Ugh, they can't do both, really???

Yes but when you have sucked for so many years, don't you think they would figure out something else to get the crowd involved since they clearly don't know HOW to score and win. This is my entire point...

I agree and so the question is....how can this be instilled into the team so that we can see more of it? It does not seem like it would be that difficult to do as a professional athlete playing the sport you love.

This has really been bothering for years now with this organization. For that small stretch of time where 3 or 4 Sabres delivered hits with about 5 minutes to go, you really felt something electric with the team and the crowd. I am not saying that there has to be 60 minutes of this type of play but how in the world can the organization be so blind as to putting the wrong types of players on the ice. To a man, any player interviewed after that game yesterday said they fed off the energy in the crowd and it really gave them a jump in their game. I can't remember that last time I saw multiple hits by Sabres players in such a short time period but I do know that it brought a feeling to me that I have not felt in a long, long time. Are these players really that uncomfortable to bring just a LITTLE of that on a nightly basis? Win, lose or draw, fans wants to see that type of effort and there is enough talent on this team where if you brought in some players that could give that most nights, it would go such a long way. I hope Botteril and the players took notice of this as I am quite confident Housley will pretty much brush it off to the side....

Wow, they actually asked the question but Phil didn't really answer it at all which is par for the course

Wouldn't you think if any of these reporters Had a Brain, they would ask housley during the Presser if he noticed the crowd reaction when the Sabres introduced a physical game in the third period. Why wouldn't you then ask him why they don't play this way on a consistent basis even if it is out of their Style?

Kudos to the fans at this game making more noise than I have heard in a couple months

Jesus Christ, you think this team would know what our fans love. Where ha these hits been all year!!!!!?????

Top 5 pick on the line....need Edmonton to win tonight and I'm sure Buffalo will do their job. If Nylander keeps improving, that's all i care about.

I'm at a point where I don't even care if he signs here or not. THis team has flatlined and they just seem to be totally lost as an organization. Just try and be watchable at least for the 50 year anniversary in 2020...that is my entire hope right now. They have zero chance of doing anything next year No starting goalie, possibly losing Skinner, a defense which is an absolute mess, I mean total mess, minimum 5 forwards that need to be replaced, and a coach that has no answers. 80 points next year would be a miracle with this garbage.

Beane and company getting national praise while the Sabres are getting ridiculed left and right - go Bills

They have given up, it's obvious. That's why I have no shame in doing so the remainder of this season. This group just doesn't have the will to turn it around....it's over for now....for me.
