Thorny

I guess it’s fine health wise (???) but it would certainly make ME stomach sick. I furrowed my brow when I read it, I’ve honestly never heard of someone doing that before Cream soups? Joke

Shoulda let him have that one before bed, dude

With you

Others don’t notice but imo your posting quality has taken a hit since you started working in your all-too-ham-handed thoughts on the politics of the postal industry into almost every post - - - Anyways I felt UPS had a great game between the pipes.

Okay how about this: We aren’t in the playoffs by points % anymore, but we still control our own destiny: if we win the 3 we have in hand on the isles, we be tied with the isles. They have the breaker, but We play them one more time, no? well we can see to it it’s actually THAT game that decides the playoffs. * caveat here is I had to lie slightly re: control own destiny as Ottawa is tied with us but also has 3 in hand on islanders and the breaker on us (by one) currently so technically if they also did the “destiny” thing they’d finish ahead of us: but it’s a hypothetical - if we win the “3 in hand” Ottawa very probably doesn’t amass 6 points in their 3

We have one more against the Isles, right? No choice but to pencil that as a W to make up for this and get back at it

If you are gonna post a gif, it should be a good one. this one is always always good

Never was

Well if it’s over because we lost one guy it should be a soft landing b/c no one should have expected much. We are no more banged up than other teams. Yes, I know we have less depth but truthfully we’ve been WELL above average all year re: the injury front losing Tuch and Samuelsson does hurt. But we watched them play their best game of the season without Samuelsson. They’ve run up scores without Tuch. There are other variables at work, here don’t minimize the fact the islanders were ALSO fighting for their playoff lives. At home. We lost by..1 goal? on a back to back? jumping to “we can’t win I guess without em!” is a really weird flex.

Holy overreactions Batman Im with you fine folks, I’m hurting from this one. I know. but let’s see how they adjust. Still lots of hockey left.

Awful game / result, whatever. Islanders are an annoying team to play against, good at what they do not out of it at all, playoff hunt wise. But biggest hurdle to clear isn’t the schedule, it’s not even the point gap: it’s the change in officiating playoff *chase* season apparently now has part and parcel

Absolute André Benoit

Kicking? too soon brah

True, but I’d wager to say the calls generally even out in the macro..like I said the problem is, even with even officiating the scenario where BOTH teams get away with more always hampers the higher skill team and we’ve been a high skill, track meet, run up the score team all year

Agree. But... *whispers* ..they should call the game by the rules all the time Shhhh, though

The fact these last 2 games have had a low amount of penalties called, both ways, is bad news for the Sabres. If the refs are doing the swallow the whistle thing early..ya it’s bad news for us and our top of the league pp unit Exactly

Not a condemnation merely a fact other words: we need them here

Every team has injuries.

Not going to win many games with Dahlin and Tage going scoreless

Lost it, btw

Coulda called a penalty there for goalie interference Yessir Oh they did

Heck of a save from youpee El

Made a great play then a poor one

Looks cosmetic

Yes sir Dominic..it’s not working. Time to let go of that “flow”
