    Let's hope the penalties stay at a minimum. 7 last night is way too much. Gotta admit, 3 of those penalties were complete garbage calls. I think Larkin fell on his own and they call tripping on MULE. Cmon!! And I'm not talking about the 5 on 3 late in third. Those were legit calls. This was in the second period If I recall.

    Organization need to do something with fake calls. When you have 10 hits and 8 penalties it's too much. There is no place for such stupid justice in NHL.

    Here's highlights of that wild 9-8 Seattle-Kings game last night. Peterson relieved Quick and let in four goals in 16 shots.

    He broke his stick on the way out...and that was it for Peterson.

     

    Our defense looks not so bad😅

  9. Sabres are 7th in CF% in the NHL(all situations). Goaltending(outside Anderson) and PK are killing them.

    Sabres have been bad and are getting worse on faceoff percentage.  Overall they are at 46.5%, which is 7th worst but in the last 10 they have been a little over 45% and the last 5 games, 43.5%.  Should be getting better, not worse.

    That being said, the worst team in the NHL on faceoffs is the defending Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche at 43.5% on the season. They were 5th worst last year too and still won the cup.

    The Blackhawks are the best team in the NHL on faceoffs at 56.4% and are the 2nd worst team in the NHL in term of points.

    However, in general faceoffs have not been found to be highly correlated with wins and losses.  The Penguins over a decade were the winningest team in the NHL and were a bad faceoff team.

    This may not be the biggest problem, but when you have sleepy flies on the net and a club of gentlemen in defense, then every faceoff makes you freeze.

    We need Devon Levi is what we need. Portillo not leaving college also didn't help but I don't see any goaltending help coming until Comrie is healthy unless they start playing Anderson more. 

    We need another defender and we need a goalie. 

    And it would be nice to finally learn how to win face-offs. In 90% of games, we lost this figure and, accordingly, got extra shots on goal and goals...

    Basically all the metrics show this is actually a pretty damn good team.  7th in the NHL in Corsi is really good.  Last year they were 20th and the year before 29th.  

    Anderson has played very well for them having a .917 save percentage and 2.76 GAA.  Also has a +319 Goals Saved Above Average, ranking 20th in the NHL.  

    Comrie(66th) has been bad at -6.11 goals saved above average and UPL at -4.93 in only 3 games has been mind blowingly bad to the point he ranks 62 out of 74 goalies... in only 3 GAMES!! Also mind blowing is UPL has a 50% save percentage on penalty kills...how is that even possible?   Comrie is also bad at .791.  

    The Sabres have the 2nd highest Corsi on the PK in the NHL!  They have given up 21 goals on the PK, but their xGA is only 15...that -6 differential is 4th worst in the NHL behind Anaheim, Vancouver and Edmonton.  So realistically the Goaltending on the PK is much worse than their PK itself.

    The only answer at this point for the Sabres is to play Anderson more until he stops playing well.  Yeah he is older but so what?  Anderson currently has the highest save percentage of any 41 year old goalie since 1929. Better than Hasek, Brodeur, Belfour and Joseph in their age 41 seasons.  Play him.

    So frustrating to see this team flailing about due to goaltending again, but even more frustrating that we actually HAVE a goaltender playing well and we aren't riding him.  Screw his age, ride him until he stops performing 

    I agree with everything, but I feel sorry for Anderson.😅

    Last year, all the hardest games were hung on Tokarski. Ulmark also could not stand the load and ran away when he realized that they would not pay big money.

    One thing I know is that those guys who lead the team to the Playoffs for the first time in many years will be heroes for everyone and get into the Buffalo Hall of Fame. Even if they fly out in the first round.

    To all you guys getting impatient and crying out for immediate change, it's not going to happen. The Sabres are going to stick to their plan and if all you guys think about it another year or two to develop our young players should make you happy in the long term. Tonight's game was against a team that we want to soon be like (but with better players). I was entertained and liked their brand. If victories are your only parameter in how you feel about this team then you will be disappointed this year and maybe some next year. I've made the decision to enjoy watching their development and progress and not get upset over a game like tonight's just because they lost. BTW, I absolutely hate losing. I'll get upset if they play sloppy or don't put the effort in. I personally am enjoying this team and players as they improve. 

    What's the plan? Play Anderson as the main goalkeeper until the age of 45?

    What a great job on the PK tonight.  Amazing how much of a difference playing aggressively makes.

    PP was aggressive too.  And actually scored AND looked legit.

    Would really like to hear what they did differently heading into tonight in preparation.  (And the followup - wtf did you wait until game 19 to do that?)

    That is what we all want to see. Sharp agressive  play and will to win. Nice game and respect to the guys!💪😎

    The New Jersey Devils can draft Jesper Bratt, Nico Hischier, and Jack Hughes over 5 years of "tanking", sign a bunch of veterans to surround them with and be the best team in the NHL who are currently on a 12 game win streak.

     

    Meanwhile the Pegulas get twelve top 10 draft picks, two 2nd overall picks, and two 1st overall picks mixed in, are tanking twice as long as the Devils, and STILL somehow ice a bottom 5 team 20 million dollars under the cap floor. Sigh...

     

    It's a straight joke.

    Time is lost and the result of a series of defeats unfortunately gives very little chance of reaching the playoffs.

    I will be happy if the coaching staff manages to at least improve the game, act more aggressively in defense and not concede stupid goals.

    But the example of NJ shows even a blind man how to act in order to achieve a result, and not step on the same rake every year.

  24. Will there be a new record and 10+ defeats in a row?

    According to https://www.google.com/amp/s/theathletic.com/3914218/2022/11/20/sabres-losing-streak-offseason-choices/%3famp=1 

    "History isn’t kind to teams who go this long without a point. Since 2000, 26 teams have had a streak of at least eight consecutive regulation losses. Of those, 17 finished the season last or second to last in the NHL standings. Of those 26 teams, zero made the playoffs, and the 2018-19 Blackhawks had the best finish at 18th in the NHL."

    I have the same question. Aren't you tired of being dishonored? It's like they're bullying the fans. Sell the team if you can't do anything with it.
