I dunno man...the Sabres are middle of the pack in both GAA and SvPct ranking 18th and 17th respectively in the league. I think they need to play better in front of the goalies a little bit more and the definitely need to play a lot better on the penalty kills. They are just dreadful penalty killing and give up way too many easy chances for the other team. Frustratingly, they will do a great job for half or 2/3 of a penalty kill and then just either have a mental breakdown or not pick up a guy at some point and it ends up in the back of the net. The fact they have given up more shorthanded goals than scored power play goals in the past month is a joke as well.

This team should probably start declining penalties. Their PP is just terrible and they have allowed double or triple the shorthanded goals as they have scored PP goals the past month and a half. Pathetic.

We have to have the worst PK in the NHL....when was the last game they didn't allow a PP goal?

This game hasn't been in doubt since the 7 minute mark of the first period.

What the hell is going on tonight?

I agree....might have been the most exciting 2-1 OT game ever You mean you forgot all the turnovers that lead to goals he has?

The Bills may not be, but every year teams make the playoffs due to playing weak schedules. It's honestly long overdue for the Bills. This is coming a year early for the Bills, the expectation wasn't to be making the playoffs until next season, but I think they have done a great job rebuilding the OLine and adding playmakers in Brown, Beasley, Knox and Singletary. With another offseason where they have tons of Cap Space and extra picks to use to maneuver around the draft board in the mid rounds, I am expecting they will add more on offense to bolster what they started and add another pass rushing DE hopefully.

What he is saying to the press and fans and what he is saying to the players are likely two different things.

Sabres always suck against the Panthers. I give them a 10% chance of winning.

Trading for Skinner and giving up Pu and a 3rd was so terrible....what an idiot.

Sabres are dominating this game overall. I'm not sure of they will win this game playing that way, Rask seems to be standing on his head tonight, but they will win a LOT of games if they play like this more often...

What the hell is going on here?? They are outshooting the Bruins 12-0 right now, are up 1-0 and could be up 3 or 4 goals easily...

Wow...kinda saw the writing on the wall

I mean cmon..that was such a lazy backcheck...

I think they won't admit it but I'm willing to bet JBot is praying Okposo decides to call it a career due to concussions for the salary cap relief they would get from his albatross of a contract... Would the Sabres get his full salary(prorated obviously for this year) credited back to the cap moving forward if that happened or only part of it? Not sure how that works with injury retirements....I am pretty sure they could put him in Long Term IR and move his salary off the cap too...

Another wacky goal on Hutton...one every game at least it seems..SMH

Eichel 4 Ottawa 2

I've never seen worse wraparound attempts than the ones from last night from ERod...

Hutton needs to stop letting in these crazy weak goals...this one cost us a point.

What a crap game this was

Hutton lets in a higher percentage of impossible angle goals than any goalie I've ever seen.

They need to get it together tonight and not have a 5 minute lapse that costs them 4 goals.

Sabres missed like 4 or 5 Grade A chances to get back in the game...

This game could easily be 4-4. Caps have scored on all their chances and the Sabres on none of those including 2 posts, a breakaway and 2 or 3 odd man rushes...they need to do better than that.

This is getting embarrassing...
