Quinn is starting to feel it...I predict a big surge for him over the back half of the year. Easily the best player on the ice for the Sabres tonight along with Tuch.

Sabres basically have to play their best game against the Canes and Bruins to have a chance and that wasn't close to it tonight. Also, could we just request the rest of our games be on the road?

Looks like TNT really could use these next 10 days off

Old legs starting to show...Carolina may win this game but they are going to be holding on for dear life in the 3rd IMO

So Tage gets called for a hook but the same thing is done to him and no penalty...

Going to have to beat the Canes and the refs tonight. Hard enough to beat the Canes let alone when they can do whatever they want and not get any penalties.

Maybe if they just held or interfered with the Hurricane players there would be no penalties.

Yeah...of course...another penalty for us, Carolina does whatever and no penalty.

Yeah, it's like the NHL wants to go back to 2-1 games again where all teams do is dump and chase.

Sabres D zone coverage was terrible obviously...their passing was atrocious...but that doesn't mean Carolina should be able to just do whatever they want either.

How are there no penalties against Carolina? Every time you turn around they are holding one of the Sabre players. Screw them, skate their old ass legs into the ground in the 3rd.

Well this is going well. Sabres look like a High School team against them. Taking some lumps tonight

2 of the best Corsi teams in the NHL facing off...Carolina the best by a country mile at 59.89% CF, Sabres are 6th at 52.25%

They are a very good team...looks like they may have some tired old legs tho having to work so hard late in the game and having to travel.

LFG! Caps won last night, we need to keep pace.

Called Cliff Notes in the US

Shouldn't be another goalie...Hasek was the best goalie of all time

Yup, and when Samuelsson was hurt earlier in the year.

You have to be able to see what can be, not what is. That is where most coaches fail. They aren't able to fully see what the player can become to lead them down that path.

One point behind with 3 extra games played. Seems weird to leave out the most important point.

Remove Tage Thompson's scoring ability and he'd be exactly like a 3rd line player. See how silly saying this stuff is?

Wow...big trade...

We could put enough distance between us and them that it makes it mostly irrelevant...unlikely but possible.

Penguins have been dealing with goaltending injuries too...Tristan Jarry has missed a bunch of time for various injuries this year.

If the Sabres are going to do it, they are going to have to earn it. Sabres have the 2nd hardest remaining schedule in the NHL next to Detroit. Good thing is they have 19 games left on the road where they are currently on a franchise record points percentage pace.
