Points are just a consolation prize now, this team ain't going anywhere this season. I would just like to see these guys learn that you can actually score goals AND play physical during the same game. It's hockey, not rocket surgery. Through 2 periods total team shots Buffalo 18 (7 on goal) Colorado 49 (26) on goal

18 shots attempted (only 7 on goal) through 2 periods. So sad this team can't play a physical style and generate offense at the same time. Multitasking is not the Sabres strong suit, as well as anything else they try.

I wouldn't mind if they lose as long as they keep playing physical, but if they can pull out a win without turning back into jellyfish? I might just poop myself.

And seeing how the dirtiest player in the league, Gudas, gets 1 game for swinging his stick at a guys head. No consistency with suspensions at all.

Sabres being outshot 25-7........?

Exactly, whereas the hit on Eichel it wasn't the principal point, although the check carried up into the head. That's why Zadorov didn't get the hit to the head call.

Jack did a no no

That's exactly what I said in the GDT right after the game. Give Linus all the work except in B2B's

Jack looks much slower since being lambasted by Zadorov

Three words......Phil ***** Housley. Might be his worst decision of the year and he's made some bad ones.

I think Sheary needs a longer stick. He just whiffed on a wrister. How is that even possible?

Why does Housley always look like he's gotta take a *****?

Yeah, Nelson showed me nothing right there. He should've caved Zadorov.

This isn't the first time he's questioned the teams talent level. Earlier in the season when he was keeping the Sabres in games but they were still losing, he said he wasn't getting any run support. He takes his little digs when he can. But yeah, he was pathetic in the shootout. Last 6 shots he has faces in shootouts, he's let in 6 goals. Not sure if Lehner ever let in 6 in a row.

Gulp

Carter Hutton not holding back on what he thinks of his teams talent. "It's hard for our horses to run with those guys. They have a lot of depth."

Yeah, but they had a 3-2 lead for 18:03. Phil would point that part out to you I'm sure. Thst's something they can build off of, lol

Wait, you have examples of today's college teams beating NHL teams from the 70's? Did I miss something? Anyone looks good in goal against these guys, they rarely hit the net.

Hutton shouldn't start anything other than in a back to back situation rest of the season. He has been brutal and Linus needs the work.

Eichel is dog tired, meaning PH will have him shoot first

Is sloptastic a word?

There are no more "enforcers" in the NHL, although still quite a few in the lower levels. Sabres are fine with Bogo and McCabe for physicality on the back end. What the Sabres could use is a couple Tom Wilson, Miles Wood, Nick Foligno type of forwards who can put the puck in the net and aren't afraid of their own shadows.

From his last trip

Sobotka with the hat trick tonight ............ ?

We've also seen too many flashes of the same garbage that we've seen for the past decade.
