holy zuck(er)! they're winning

Rosen hot streak. 7 points in the last 4 games

The battle for last place in the conference. If you told me that we would be in this position two years ago when they missed the playoffs by a point, I would've said that you are crazy. Feels pretty bad

Barring an unforeseen run by this team, I think this is likely. On the bright side, at least we got some goals from Quinn today. Maybe he will gain some momentum and start looking like the player everyone expected him to this year

Ftl, go sabres. Feels appropriate to quote marv when the Bills are playing at the same time: "Adversity is an opportunity for heroism."

Out of curiosity, what are you referring to? Strasenburgh or something else?

After you've tried changing everything else, it comes down to the players just not getting it It's a shame too because they do so well 5v5

Annnnnd.. there it is. Lead was nice while it lasted

I am indeed implying that. People have noted that he is significantly slower this year than the preceding years. IMO, it's the only thing that explains why his play has dropped off a cliff.

IMO, the only reasonable conclusion is that he is physically hampered. He's been amazing at every level prior to the NHL & has demonstrated MUCH better play than this already at the NHL level (including in his rookie year). Play doesn't just drop off this precipitously. Cozens has regressed, but what Quinn is outputting goes beyond just simple regression.

Playoffs here we come

I can see the onion article title in my head: Buffalo NY Hockey GM trying to convince players to come to Buffalo does the opposite by reminding them about NY's taxes and cold climate

If he sits long enough, won't he be eligible for a conditioning stint in Rochester?

What recent victories? Haven't they lost 4 in a row too?

They were sufficiently embarrassed. 3 game win streak incoming 😂

They lost this game? What?! What a collapse

Looks like i missed all the action 😂 awesome

It feels like the only time that they start to really play is when they have their backs up against the wall and are feeling the pressure from the fans/media. Went on a 3 game streak after starting the season so poorly. Went on another after they lost 3 straight. Both streaks just as the tides were turning against the team and the pressure was ratcheting up. Clearly we need to start criticizing them even more

typical sabres power play

That probably had a lot to do with levi's presence. The two will always be linked in my mind

Portillo just had his first nhl game last night. Let in one goal

Kozak can score too. He got promoted to the top line this year. Before he was injured this year he was leading them in goals. He had a hot camp a few years ago and scored a bunch in preseason Hes gotten in a bunch of fights too. Penalty killer. Hes the sort that you like to see succeed.

feels bad to not get a point there. oh well on to the next

he had the pass there

Lance speculated that the inclusion of McLeod on the fourth line is a match up thing... to line him up against kaprizov
