Thinking about this the morning after....I can't help but wonder the question of who's better or worse.......Comrie or Hutton?

Donny's pressers are about as useless as Ralph Kruger's. I'd rather see him react like Torts or something after this one. He is simply too protective of his players, his coaches, etc. Ever notice he doesn't talk much about X's and O's, but rather "feelings"? Maybe he doesn't know as much as we hope?1

Anybody expecting a "players only" closed door meeting after this one?

I'd almost prefer to hear Ralph Kruger instead...eh, maybe not!

I seriously question if we could have won this game if Dallas played all 60 minutes with 4 skaters.

IDK, feels like a fairly strong collective failure overall.

Getting to 10 would be quite a statement 🤢

Feeling more and more like Detroit right now.

Just another thought.

Greenway with 2 points...not bad.

That's an example of why you SHOOT! Sometimes they go in!

Hoping that is the case. IMHO - we need a complete overhaul of the goalie position....out with the 3 we have and bring in two new faces, DL maybe being one of them.

Was MSG network directed by the Sabres organization to NOT show the SOG's anymore? I'd like to know how bad it is.

Regardless of who's on the ice...more and more I feel like we need some new coaching blood (assistants?) who actually know how to teach special teams and defensive zone coverage. I swear high school and college kids have better fundamentals than this team.

Defensive zone coverage still simply a hot mess! Not anticipating Dallas coming into the sweet spots to neutralize them....not sure why it is so hard when I see high schoolers doing it better.

Two please!!!

Alright...maybe the experiment on the first line may work out???

Bench looks lifeless now. Time to yank Comrie.

There is simply too much skill and talent on this team to not have a better PP that can generate multiple shots per opportunity. Our coaching staff has to be held accountable for such an ineffective special teams.

Ahhhhh!!!! Shoot the puck please!!!

What's possible vs. probable may be two different things. Possible is absolutely yes, probable suggests maybe no due to strength of upcoming schedule coupled with key injuries. What is also a factor is some regulars have gone completely "cold" during the last 10 games or more.

WIth or without R. Johnson, is there a weaker defense pipeline than ours?

That makes TWO McNabb's that this franchise should have never traded away!

Some reflection the morning after a tough loss.....not happy about the officiating (again), but I'm frankly more concerned about a couple things: 1. Shooting - not enough of it....take the shots when you have them and go to the net for possible rebounds. I get frustrated at the excessive passing, which often results in a turnover. 2. Inability to gain possession in our defensive zone. Collectively our boys seem to be struggling to win puck battles or create enough turnovers to neutralize the opposition's opportunities. IMHO - gotta fix these things if we hope to keep up with the other teams....who seem to be improving.

I am kicking myself for not turning off the sound earlier and just watching the game silently....it's less stressful listening to the ESPN amateur hour play by play
