The owner, front office, and coaches aside, this is the most serious indictment of this team, imo. Desire is all on the players. It is unfathomable.

Bingo. Thompson rarely commands our team on the ice. Too self-absorbed. Zucker leads on the ice and pulls guys with him. We need one of this type leader on each line. High energy. High compete. High skill. Players who can’t stand losing and aren’t afraid to say so and expect the same from their teammates.

Agree. Good take.

Took Ruff too long to get their attention. Only started to play with a handful of minutes left in the 2nd period. Really confounding. Didnt generate enough offense. No back check and weak D in front of the net. Couple soft goals UPL would like back. Nice game by Quinn. Tuch and Thompson didn’t show up when it mattered. Team failure.

Boom Quinn Can we get another?

ESPN Amateur Hour. Camera setting are finally corrected.

Damn

Boom Quinn Never saw it but heard it!!!

The ESPN+ camera is balled up. Audio is fine. Anybody else having video issue?

UPL has played pretty well, imo. Some of you guys just can’t stand the guy, so give him no chance. He’s our goalie tonight. Why not root for him. The UPL hate is getting old.

Ruff must have gotten their attention

Sabres came alive with 5 minutes left. Need a score.

No on ice leadership. Thompson and Tuch absent

What is Ruff telling them on the bench?

Totally outplayed. Embarrassing.

We better start getting possession and shooting the puck. The game is half over. Geez Tuch

Get in the game, Thompson.

No possession says it all

Our passing is off, exits are sloppy, no offensive coordination. Pens have us off balance

Better come out skating and shooting. Malenstyn only F with a shot.

Never good when we play from behind. Need to reset.

Damn. Sloppy.

Ouch. Still, think Makenstyn is a 4th Line Stud who loves to hit and brought much needed toughness to the team. His example is rubbing off on others. And, he has moves. That deke on Aho and goal on Andersen was a masterpiece. No telling when he might surprise us again.

Norris has missed 21 of 22 games, a quarter of the regular season schedule.

Outstanding performance by all involved. Congrats Sabres!
