The capfriendly buyout calculator on Skinner is brutal. He is a Jedi cap crusher, like Ehrhoff's front-loaded contract, Moulson, and Okposo before he. This team desperately needs someone with passion. Or craziness. They need either a Kaleta or Foligno, or... someone who's a total a-hole like Avery that they're ashamed of, but at least wakes them up.

Yup. Rematch tomorrow midday... Sabres send no message at the end of the game, no hit, no real threat at a goal. No energy whatsoever.

We beat this team 6-1???? Never tell me the odds.

So you're saying TPeg is gonna send the Pegula-copter out to get Brian Elliott for 6 x 6? Anything it takes!

A couple games ago the Sabres were up 3-0 in the third and the Devils were desperate to break up the shootout and try to make a game of it. We have generated maybe one decent shot? Montour had a short handed opportunity to take a shot or pass to the slot... passed it back to the trailer outside of the zone. Yay -- you killed a penalty. You're down by 3 goals with under 7 minutes to play. Time to switch up the philosophy.

Eakin... gotta get that one on net post, there.

Skinner attempts to solve the Hutton issue himself.

Three arbitrary and unrelated thoughts: We are not responding well to these reverse jerseys (unlike say last season where we played well in the 50th jerseys) We aren't playing well in the morning/midday game like we normally do. The Flyers are not the NJ Devils.

Let's see JJ. At least to wake up the team in front of him. And let Ristolainen rest some in the 3rd.

Oh. hmm. Well, I guess it's time to lighten up on the defensive only system and go attempt to score some goals... right, coach?

Picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue, the wrong day to focus on Skinner, etc.

Hey! Hall, nice pass. Bryson where he needs to be. Gotta work on the NHL-caliber shot, but ... like... we're a live. Living. Watching a live hockey game! We must feel The Concept of Hockey around us.

Brian Elliott is still playing. And we're still getting the opposition's backup goalies. And no goals.

No Olofsson, against the Flyers you need to shoot it through the outside of the net.

All these wookiees Sabres seasons are dead, Jim.

Nice, and the refs heard the announcers.

Even the Flyers announcers are agreeing there should be a couple penalties against the Flyers, missed hook, etc. Nice pass from Mitts to Skinner. But Skinner doesn't use his speed soon enough to turn it into a quality chance.

Another stormtrooper tried to tell Bryson to use his reverse thruster his power coupling, but the ship transmission hit some space rocks asteroids.

For being a "fast" team, we don't play with any speed or attack. Is it a fast team? ++ Fast team? You've never heard of the 2021 Buffalo Sabres? It's the team with Eichel, Hall, Rieder, and Eakin. It's fast enough to look super slow.

Flyers broadcast is familiar NBC team... sound professional. They just noted that Ristolainen missed 7 games and still leads the Sabres in hits on the season.

Ristolainen... back from COVID and likely needing just to get his legs under him... led the team in ice time in the first.

With less than 10 seconds left it would've been nice to see Mitts take that pass and attack, rather than whack it deep and go for a change. That's on the bench to yell at them to go for the goal and not the change. That's on coaching.

Not the hook high stick, that's good. The miscommunication drop pass to the Flyer beside the goal was the playing like a Sabre part.

🍺🍺 You can't pull the goalie on the penalty kill just to make it 5 on 5. That' coaching suicide. 🍺🍺

Bryson didn't just tie up Hayes... he swiped his face to tie him up. Kill the penalty and it's all good.
