They really are just not very good. Sabres are skating them out of the building.

F**king UPL almost let his 4th crappy goal of the game in there...my God is he fighting the puck tonight. Sabres should be up 4-1 in this and cruising.

Captain My Captain!!

Our goaltending situation is unacceptable.

3 bad goals.

2 bad goals for UPL. C'mon man...be better

Goalofsson!! Looks like their offensive scoring touch has come back...

WTF...they pushed UPL into the net...not only is that not a goal, it should be goaltender interference.

DC rips it! UPL...no softies to let them tie it please.

Hmm...are we going to see a new documentary called Snake King on Netflix by the end of this year?

I dunno how the hell that didn't go in... Sabres just having bad puck luck the last 3 games.

Just a dreadful giveaway by Dahlin

Hello, hello! I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.

Lyubushkin for sure. Dude would crosscheck his mother in front of the net.

Yesterday heard on WGR that Paul Hamilton said Samuelsson didn't play the last 7:30 or so of the Kraken game but since they were off yesterday they had no media availability to find out about it. Sabres are 3-10 without him so hoping it is minor if he can't go tonight...

shrug.

Dahlin has increasingly become that The Sabres were good pretty quickly after being an expansion team

You could literally say that about any team, expansion or otherwise. They also did a TON of backroom deals and took advantage of ALL of the special situations they got to take advantage of leaving no stone unturned to either get good players or draft picks for not taking players. It was an absolute masterclass of GM'ing for an expansion team.

And that's balanced by 6'5", 6'4" and 6'2"

You mean except for Vegas that made the SC Finals their first year? And don't even try the "they got lucky" angle. I watched a LOT of their games that year and they were damn good.

Not really. They are at minimum league average in that category. Just a lazy take based on the last 15 years and not the current lineup. And going back and looking not even then...it's been like 25 years since the Sabres fielded an average team under 6'1" and all of them were in the 200-206 lb weight average. NHL teams range from an average height of 6'2" to 6'0". The vast majority (like 25) average 6'1"...which is where the Sabres are at. Their average weight of 195lbs is a little lighter than average but a lot of that can be attributed into so many young players that need a few years to fill out into their bodies.

Yeah I am not worried...they can't win every game, they will go on these long point runs a few more times this year. Hopefully it will be enough to get them in, if not they won't miss by much.

Comrie rarely does. We are nowhere with this dude splitting time with UPL.

They deserved better. Clearly the better team tonight. So many grade A chances they missed that they normally cash in. Somwtiems it happens. Battling the puck a little bit the last two games. Gotta figure out why they keep having these lackluster starts to the third period where they allow a goal in under two minutes so often. It's becoming a problem.

It wasn't luck and they'll be fine. Take a step back from the ledge.
