Vancouver started off hot but the Sabres have turned the tide. Clearly outplaying them now
Get the 1st goal. Do it

He should have traded for a goalie last year. Still should this year
How long can he bank all of these prospects and picks though, seriously.
Makes some trades already

8 loser points would get us to 96 points and a likely berth. There are 8 five-game segments left, so if we go 3-1-1 every group of 5 games we’d likely make the playoffs but not for sure. 3-1-1 per 5 the rest of the way is a 115 point pace
And a .700 points %
They need more loser points. They had 7 last year, which is on the low end. 2 more loser points and they're in the playoffs. They only have 4 this year, I consider that low end.
Benefits teams like the Islanders who are clearly less talented than other teams but they have 10 loser points already.
Also helps to have Sorokin and they do not change their structure.

Definitely not a good thing. Skinner has his detractors around here, but he's at least been a consistent scorer.
The Sabres can't have any more injuries if they want to go on a run. I'm more concerned with who they replace him with. I guess it's Oloffsson who I personally don't care much for, but it's better than some 160 pound rookie.
Time for a trade
Come on Adams, nows the time. He's had legitimate opportunities with these random injuries. He could inject some life into this team and the fans with a solid trade

I would love for Robinson to be an impact player, but I just don't think he is.

Getting outscored 25-20.
Yep, feel the mf'n power.

3-3-1 is still better than 15-17-3

Ryan Johnson, a rookie, should be playing over Joker.
Agreed and that's why I said 3 minutes a night. Was referring to the likes of Savoie, Rosen.
We need more grit, not more "fancy" guys

The coaching staff needs to keep this grittier lineup together. No more Oloffsson, no more rookies playing 3 minutes a night.
Keep the balance. Then they might see some actual change in the win column

UPL was good, 3rd goal was very weak, otherwise solid.
Atrocious giveaway by Cozens to set up Giroux for a perfect slap shot 5 hole, along the ice. Nah, not a bad goal given up by UPL there

He would kick the ***** out of everyone not named Greenway so not sure who wants a piece of him.
Would probly whoop Greenway, too. Greenway doesn't even fight that often

Fair but can we talk about Dahlin's play?
KA added Clifton and EJ on the blue line and they have been as advertised / expected. Very nice compliments. (toughness, physical, and veteran leadership)
Dahlin has been a huge disappointment. He is the single biggest problem on the team. I don't know what the solution is, unfortunately it's looking like he's Risto-esque.I think it's far too soon to say that. Besides, Dahlin is 10x better offensively/defensively than Ristolainen could ever be.
Or do you mean he is simply going to request a trade soon?
Agreed on Clifton and Erik Johnson. They're doing what they're suppose to do

I fully understand the original poster. It truly is a bummer when your teams stink.
I dont know about you guys, but when the Sabres win it just makes the rest of my life seem easier. Menial tasks aren't so menial anymore. It's such a great feeling seeing your team win.
And it always stinks when they lose. 12 years is a lifetime in hockey.
Here's hoping the full and unquestioned rebuild actually works. I'll be ecstatic when it does

At some point, hopefully soon, GMKA is going to need to figure out how to build a team. Tough decisions will be afoot.
One would figure he should know how, already.
He was a hard working 4th line type of player, when he played. He was on a cup winning team. Out of all the GMs previous during the last 12 years, he should theoretically have the most knowledge when it comes to building a team.
That Carolina team was balanced top to bottom. They added key players at the trade deadline. Was there a little luck involved? Yes. Cam Ward was unbelievable during those playoffs. Im sure even they had no clue he'd be that good. I think they benched Gerber at some point, too.
Add in some awful injury luck for the Sabres as well.
The point still stands, that formula still applies. Even today. What is Adams doing? Not enough.
And he doesn't seem to realize it. Shame

This is an interesting comment because ideally it IS the way they should play. Every team (except the Sabres) knows you go to the net and you screen and tip. That's not unique and that's been hockey forever. They are more solid on the back end but speed with an aggressive forecheck, that SHOULD be the Sabres and it SHOULD be the Sabres EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
But it ain't.
Still can't believe they made the playoffs in their 2nd year and Vegas in their 1st.
The Sabres have had twelve YEARS to try something different, buy they simply refuse.

I guess Granato finishes the year. Wouldn't mind seeing a head coaching change. Any change

That was a stupid slash. You can disrupt a guys shot without making such a distinct slashing motion. So dumb.
Wimpy slash, too. If he's gonna take a penalty he might as well slash the stick out of his hands.

I hate this team. Always stupid reasons we lose games.
I didn't know the game was over. Wow that was fast

What about if the Sabres miss the playoffs this season, but improve upon their point total from last season? Reasonable successful season from Adams and the Sabres? Or does the preseason expectation of making the playoffs remain in tact?
What say you?
Anything less than making the playoffs would be unacceptable. I understand that it's highly unlikely, at this point, that the Sabres will get in.
There should no leg to stand on if you missed the playoffs by one single win last year. The team is essentially the same, with minor upgrades. There is no excuse
I remain hopeful, however. Keep the winning streak going. A lot can change in just a few weeks time

If a team ever needed a period to end, this was it. If the Sabres lose this game, it will not be on UPL.
Granato better have a good speech ready

GDT: Vancouver Canucks @ Buffalo Sabres 4 pm MSG radio 550 am
in The Aud Club
Posted
UPL looks solid granted the Canucks only have 14 shots, but still.
Sabres holding they're own in an entertaining game so far against a very good team. Gotta solve Demko he looks good, too. Resurgence year for him.
Tie it up. Plenty of time left
Has an overtime feel to it
