Randall Flagg

Reminder that Kevyn went to the mic this summer and told us that our goaltending is a "position of strength" They were in the WCFs 18 months ago and made the playoffs last year

"if your goaltending is bottom 5 for 10 years in a row, there was nothing you could do, it's nobody's fault because it was just chance"

PA is onto something with Brian Duff. An animal rage triggered in my brain as the feed switched back to the studio after that period and he was cackling with a *****-eating grin on his face

If this was a more established team that has done things before, it would be obvious that they are going to come back in this game given the way they owned the puck. But our guys are getting frazzled at every level - in the forward corps, in net, and behind the bench. I'm hoping they can regroup and just keep doing what they were doing the vast majority of that period

He's been worse today than Thursday. Terrifying with the puck on his stick.

They sure look like a team that needs exactly what the fans and players practically begged for, which Kevyn just refused to make happen in a meaningful way for the 3rd straight year

Our best players have been our worst.

The guys can't let him in their heads though. Keep this up and the isles are going to get tired.

I would be supremely confident in a win tonight the way we are playing if not for that ***** goalie

Islanders can't hang with us aside from the outscoring us part Good list. Not seeing much of that tonight lol. Islanders have barely touched the puck

Victor, that cannot go into a shin pad. It just can't.

Come on krebsie

I'll be there We had 3 guys split 41 games 3 ways, for 2 seats. As far as I know, we only have to sell 1 of them and will go to the rest. It would be almost impossible for me in particular to do more than the 13 I have, so I'm not really sure how people manage 41 unless they live <20 mins away

I take it you're not local? It is miserable outside here today

I was very impressed with what I saw yesterday.

Last year in 3 games against NYI the Sabres were 2-1 and outscored them by a scintillating 7-5 margin. The Sabres can show how they've grown, or they can show the rest of the league how trivial it is to shut them down.

The Coyotes outplayed and beat the Devils. They looked as skilled as New Jersey did too. Cooley is going to be a star.

10-10-4 would not be great. You'd need a division-winning pace the rest of the way to squeak in the last wild card spot.

They also started 7-11, and missed by a point despite shitting their pants for like 4 weeks in the spring. There is loads of runway. The worst part about losing a game this early is how far away the next one feels.

I am currently in a one week free trial window with fubo. Might make a few more of those before finding something else to do

It doesn't matter what you think is or isn't available or worth it. What matters is, will the Sabres have bottom 5 goaltending for the 4th+ year in a row, or not?

This is dangerous framing. If we aren't a playoff team now, NOTHING is guaranteed about next year.

Zero for the sabres, but I pretend to not care about what I wear for bills games yet often find myself avoiding shirts that I wear during losses...

This is why some of us were hard on Kevyn for this summer. Until the things that sunk us last year don't sink us this year, his offseason is going to look obscene for a team trying to push over the hump, with players documented by @tom webster as really wanting the help.

Because the Oilers make the playoffs and win series
