The Sabres are not skating tonight, not shooting, and they are physically not up to it. They are far superior in talent, but tonight they canโt get into the slot or near the net. Defensively they want no part of โtouchingโ the opponent, so they are not getting to the puck. They are taking a night off.
The reason Anderson is in there is to secure the 2 point in case of a let down. But this let down is so widespread that he canโt stop it.
One more period. The Sabres are good enough to win this game. I want them to make me retract this.
Only one other game this bad this year, at home versus Philly.
