Go Sabres!! Going to miss this one... I'll be drinking Beer in a hipster bar. It's gonna be great.

Bingo! We have a winner. It is the only move that could have an appreciable impact for the remainder of the season IMO, assuming GMTM can find a better coach.

Flagg, just want to say excellent post, a bit wordy for my liking but worth the time. One thing you didn't mention is the PP... watching this team try to enter the offensive zone on the PP is head scratching, they kill all forward momentum by dropping the puck back to a trailer, usually Jack on the first unit, by the time he crosses center ice there are 4 Sabres standing flat footed on the blue line and 5 defenders clogging up the remaining ice. So what does Jack do, he either tries to stick handle through 2-3 defenders or he fires the puck in and it's a race to the puck. It's a terrible play but it's our go-to. I'm all in for a new coach. We need a system that fosters puck possession and puck support. We just give the puck away to easily and too often. My other favorite is when we carry the puck into the offensive zone and the other 2 forwards go off for a change so it's 1 on 5. Those odds are great. How about maintaining possession in the defensive zone, get fresh legs on the ice and come up as a unit!

I hear Capuano is available... that's a joke Good night folks, another nail in our coffin

Refs swallowed their whistles there

William !!!!

Let's pull the goalie so we can lose by 3

How do we respond to a goal... put out Gio and Cal

Night

Really, When Jack is on he's extremely difficult to strip of the puck, he can also stick handle in tight areas and through people. What I see of Matthews is lateral passing to a wing rather than going 1:1 with the defender.

Matthews is very good but I think Jack has more stick handling skills and is a better sniper, Matthews goes to the dirty areas and is better at finding holes in the defense. Jack is more flashy from what I've seen. Both are fun to watch and will be for years.

DD only sending 1 forechecker... already pulling back and going into d mode

If DD told them to do anything different from the 1st, then yes

Jersey off and back on the hanger in the closet, traded in my beer for scotch, I'm ready for a come back

I think I know the problem, I put on my new Eichel jersey late in the 1st, sorry guys, I'll take it off

Come on but either works

They totally dominated the first period, now they can barely make a pass, what does DD tell them?

Common boys

Mr. Softie is well .... still Mr. Softie

Did I see Jack limping after that last draw?

I'm watching the Leaf's intermission report, 100x more professional that ours. Night and day.

Matthews -1

I am really impressed with Will Carrier's game. He's going to be good.

Saw that I like the compete tonight, they are dominating the play, I hope it lasts for 60

The boys are on point tonight ???? ????
