Can someone score ?

My god he is snake bitten

And that’s saying something when you think about it.

I sure hope the Sabres play much much better Sunday. Tonight has been embarrassing, even if we do somehow win the shootout

If the Sabres can’t take 2 games from the Caps with them missing so many guys, I think we have our answer to how this season will go.

Defensive zone play is awful tonight

I wonder if the Sabres are going to be happy that info is out there now for other teams.

I’m leaning towards he will sit on his hands. Just a hunch

Hey Montour how about you make that hit ANYWHERE else on the ice instead of there? 🤦‍♂️

Montour is a moron

I’m pretty sure he was joking. I’m 99% sure they showed him upstairs in the arena

Goaltending might be the single easiest position in hockey to instantly improve. They rely on no one but themselves. Forwards and defenseman require the “system” and teammates. Goaltenders can just be plugged in and work without dependence on other factors. It’s the simplest fix yet the Sabres have struggled with it since Miller was traded. Yes I’m oversimplifying but I think most understand what I’m saying here.

Seems like the organization was worried about cap cost due to the pandemic or whatever excuse they are using this year. There were a lot of available goaltenders this off-season. It’s criminal that they didn’t try to improve the goaltending situation.

There is zero chance the Sabres make a goaltending move during the season. They will live or die with these two. And after another missed playoff year I’d be shocked if they don’t bring in someone next year. But yes it should have been done this year if they were actually serious about winning.

Wasn’t Razor in the arena? I could have sworn they showed him there in pregame

Agreed. Why someone hasn’t forced RK to put Skinner back with Eichel on the first line is beyond me. It worked great so let’s not do that.

RK is and will continue to be the problem. Skinner belongs in the first line with Eichel or he belongs in another uniform. There is NO other option. Wonder how long it takes the braintrust to figure this out. They already wasted one year.

If RK is going to refuse to use Skinner properly there is NO reason for Skinner to be here. I’m sure they’d love to trade him this year if they can. This just in...Razor is a moron.

I much prefer the Rob Ray style of fighting over Peters or now McCabe

Interesting fighting technique by McCabe. Seems like it would be hard to fight with your head facing behind you.

Yeah but RK decided not to coach tonight so...

I’m betting there will be 15-20 just like it over the next four months

How does Stahl give that away? Wow

If anyone lives outside of NY and has relatives/friends with Spectrum cable and willing to lend their log in info to you, then you can stream the Sabres games on the spectrum app. I’m in the Midwest and watching the Sabres thru the spectrum app. I wasn’t sure if the app would show Sabres games live but it is for me tonight.

I know nobody wants to even contemplate this, but Dahlin was billed as a 100% can’t miss prospect correct? I’ve frequently had thoughts/fears/nightmares about what IF he isn’t going to be great? Is there any chance of this? Is this all a Sabres development issue or is there a possibility Dahlin will never be great?
