Face it, This team played a disjointed and soft first period. Washington cruised the rest of the way. Not a good game. The Sabres lose to a top team and it was not close.
This team needs to learn to play physical in their own end. Win battles along the boards. And how to clear the zone smartly. Washington is too good to make these bad and soft plays
They reverted to last season play in the third period. Last 3 games they have been out hustled, fore checked and stood up at the blue line with no answers
