The same reason they stink overall: they have AHL goaltending.

NJ is one of the nicest states to hike on the Appalachian Trail. I loved Jersey and NY on the trail. Wilder than people think.

we need to get out of our own building. we suck at home.

Anyone else hoping for the backup tonight? We need a win desperately

First and foremost, high danger chances are subjective and usually compiled by truly awful websites like natural stat trick. It's not nearly as big a joke as expected goals for, but it ain't great. Do you know if they count the posts we hit as high danger chances? Maybe, maybe not? I was sitting 20 rows up in section 116 all night. The Sabres were the better team, but they got Comried. Goal 1 and goal 4 are saved by good goalies every night in the NHL. Every night. Don't get me wrong, they also got Lyubushkined too. He's been awful except for two hits he threw in the first week of the season. Goaltending is so much more of a problem than bottom pair defense though. Not that there's anything we can do about it except pray for UPL. Comrie's career speaks for itself, and we don't have Hellebuyck to play 65 games. If their plan is to have this bum around next season for 30 games, then they have learned nothing from 3 seasons of miserable goaltending (and that goaltending 100% costing us the playoffs this season, arguably last season too). But, hey, Matt Savoie will be here in 2 years. That's important.

The biggest problem with the team is the AHL goaltending.

Paul Hamilton and The GR post game can defend .817 save % Comrie all they want. The first goal was hot garbage. The puck was deflected 10 feet in front of Comrie who had as clear a look as you could want. Further, it was slow, but not as slow as Comrie's awful reaction time. The 4th goal was also trash. Meanwhile, the Kraken goalie makes a blocker save on a Tage one timer. Good NHL goalies make great saves routinely. That's what they do. It's what UPL did for about 6 games in row. It's what Anderson has done in most of his starts this season. We scored 3. We outplayed Seattle. We gave up a whooping 22 shots. We lost. F U, Comrie. I don't want to see this bum polluting our net anymore.

Chychrun's asking price is outrageous

I watched two periods of these bums against the leafs last night. They're awful, and they're not getting bailed out by goaltending anymore. TK is the only thing worth seeing on Philly. 8 - 3

Disagree slightly. There's simply no way humanly possible to have watched this team and think they aren't ready to compete for a playoffs spot. That position is a denial of reality and a misinterpretation of what Adams says. He is identifying the core of a Stanley Cup contender (something the Leafs have yet to do). He has never said they aren't ready to compete for a playoff spot. There's many a slip twixt a cup and a lip and a large gap between playoff contender and Cup contender. As long as UPL is playing and winning games in Buffalo he isn't going anywhere. Vinnie Hinnie will not have a problem clearing waivers, and, frankly, who cares if he was claimed? He's not been missed in the lineup, and we have more young forwards in Roch than you can shake a stick at if the need arose. The entire fanbase would be justifiably shocked and outraged if UPL were sent down. Now, if he came out and layed 3 eggs in a row that sentiment would change, but Comrie looks like hot garbage. Adams isn't going to let him play unless he has to.

Overlooking the dirty, disgusting filthidelphia Flyers is not allowed.

This is going to be another heart in the throat game like Boston.

Hella comeback by jersey. Igor was on his game too.

I'm sure that will be comforting for them.

Whatever it is, I want Sabres in it finally. I put my votes to work for Dahls and Cozey

The Devils are in absolute free fall. They are going to miss the playoffs if they don't fix it soon.

Stay away from Reavo. He will murder anyone on our team. Dahlin especially. Don't F with this guy. Outscore Kaprizov. Highly unlikely we keep him off the board. He is as legit as they come. Come out fast and blitz them. It's about a sell out tonight. Feed off of that, and get two early goals. Get the Wild chasing the game, and don't let them settle into their game. 6 - 4 Sabres. Tage, Dahlin, Skinner, Cozens, Krebs, Skinner

Excellent out of town scoreboard tonight

UPL stays until his play changes for several games. If I have to choose between Comrie, Vinnie, and Asplund I think Vinnie is the expendable part.

I generally stick with joints anyway. $65 an ounce from the Senecas.

If Pit loses Crosby how's that going to workout for them? It seems pretty clear to me as soon as we started getting a save % above .900 on a regular basis we become a 100-point pace team. Believe it or not, we're in a playoff race right now. If we win the next four games (all at home) we'll have sole possession of a playoff spot at the end of the 4th game.

So tough to get them to talk Sabres. So many of them were Jack Eichel fanboys they're still traumatized the tank was an abject failure.

Edmonton and Vegas took care of business in regulation. We can't ask for much more than that. Heck, even Seattle chipped in and whipped Toronto. Ware our coming schedule. Minnesota is hot as a firecracker, the lowly Flyers are on a four game win streak, Seattle has a better record than we do, and so does Winnipeg. Doesn't matter. We need at least 6 of those 8 points, and I want them all. I'm tired of the home record. The only way to fix it is to start dominating in our building.

Pens - Vegas Caps - Bluejackets Isles - Oilers Three important games for the Sabres tonight. Jack returns for Vegas. All you closet Eichel fans can root for him tonight. It's always fun to get to root for McDavid.

This one aged well.
