They were pretty good at 3v3 when Granato was coach and they had not yet "learned defense".

Your specificity is acknowledged. I see OTLs piling up. At least the Utah OTL was a come from behind effort in a game that the Sabres were outplayed in. The others OTLs were blown leads. It makes you feel good to get 1 point, that’s ok. But it gives me concern about the mental make up of this group, including the coaches.

Utah was by far better. Everyone saw that. The Sabres hung on in semi-valiant fashion and got a point. That’s good. Where we differ is I’m not anointing Utah as a top team just yet, and getting 1 point is not a great achievement. Utah is an unproven team, just like Buffalo. Buffalo missed another golden opportunity to pick up 2 points in OT at home. I’m not happy or relieved to get just 1 point at home against a team like Utah. I’m dissatisfied and disappointed. I will be upset if they don’t beat the Blues in regulation on a Thursday. I set expectations higher, and hopefully the Sabres have too.

Sounds like fun.

What exactly has Utah done to be anointed “the better team”? All this fawning over a team that is a lot like Buffalo, a unproven group that hasn’t made the playoffs in forever. Utah is young, and they looked fast, skilled, and better coached. Buffalo got great goaltending again, or else this is 5-1 loss. Buffalo had 5 shots in the 2nd, and 3 shots in the 3rd - I’m giving the Sabres the benefit of the doubt, there is not enough firepower due to injuries. In OT the Sabres had the first couple of scoring chances and they missed. Utah didn’t miss their chance. It’s another loss. Get ready for St Louis. That is a poor team and that game is must win, as in 2 points.

Four of the last five games IMO

Keller destroyed all of them. Mammoth have a lot of skill, 3v3 is about skill.

Ugh

Considering the lineup and the opponent, a regulation tie is a good outcome. Could be better, thankful that Lyon stole one. Let’s get the 2nd Buffleknot

Ooohhhvetrrtiiimmme

Krebs with Tage is not a good thing. Give Quinn a shift with Tage and Greenway. This team is clearly missing people.

Sabres better start winning more puck battles. It’s crunch time

Rosen with a busted up face is happy to get an assist.

Glad there was no challenge

Holy cow, Rochester kids Östlund and Rosen

Haven’t heard the name Dahlin in a long time.

They were playing good for awhile. Look want they have, a whole AHL line plus Gertie.

Me too. ESPN PLUS was unstable on my TV.

Their first 2 lines are very good. If we had Norris, Benson, and Zucker it would help a lot.

Quinn has been showing signs of maturity in his game.

Hang in there Rosen. Nice battle scar.

That power play was so bad that they needed Ray to provide coaching advice.
