[GDT: 3/6/21 Sabres @ Islanders 12:30 p.m. MSG]

1-0 Sabres, after one. That's about four games worth of goals for this team.

You really think an interim coach is any improvement at all?  NFW

Exactly. Interims rarely work out. It's not like firing Herr Krueger will turn around this team's fortunes. They have dug themselves a grave-sized hole and are done this year. The only thing it might...might...accomplish is seeing if the players have been sandbagging in order to get RK fired. Even that would be speculative and not really quantifiable.

The Sabres gonna Sabres and Devils gonna Devil point is that every bad team's fans say that (after allowing a team they're absolutely dominating to tie it up). But --- one team today wasn't going to fold.

Yeah, I know. 'Sabres gonna Sabres' was 'my' reference to the constant last second goals allowed and finding ways to constantly break the collective hearts of their fans. They are even beyond 'Bills drought' frustrating.

NJ  BUF gonna NJ BUF

Two regulation wins in 10 games. The more things change, the more they stay the same. They sure know how to suck the fun out of everything.

Hutton decided to cover a rebound. Finally.

Two thoughts as I watch NJ take another lead  

1.  I am glad I didn’t invest my time watching the first two periods.  
2. I don’t know why my expectations are high for this team ?   

The 'initial high' of the royal blue is wearing off...

really can't be blamed on any of the goals today. He's not the problem today.

In fairness, they have hung him out to dry but he's not good either. He's barely serviceable. That rebound to end the second period was inexcusable.

[GDT: 1/31/21 1pm ET, NJ Devils at Buffalo, MSG, NHL Network, WGR]

0.9 seconds??! Are you f'ing kidding me? This team has taken 'last second goals allowed to end a period' to a new and disgusting art form. Holy 💩

[GDT: 1/31/21 1pm ET, NJ Devils at Buffalo, MSG, NHL Network, WGR]

PP again. Time to tie this baby up.

[GDT: 1/31/21 1pm ET, NJ Devils at Buffalo, MSG, NHL Network, WGR]

Nice redirect on that goal.

[GDT: 1/31/21 1pm ET, NJ Devils at Buffalo, MSG, NHL Network, WGR]

Mitts had a great pass that went unrewarded.

[GDT: 1/31/21 1pm ET, NJ Devils at Buffalo, MSG, NHL Network, WGR]

Wow. Sabres gave NJ another gift and they didn't convert.

I hate to say it but mittlestadt will probably never be a full time nhl player. 

I get the impression that he felt like he was owed his spot and did nothing to earn it. I also think that being sent down will not be enough to get him to hit the gym like he needs to. 

I suspect he was always so much better than the people he played with, without giving the grear efforts.

 

I hope I'm wrong 

Ditto. I want to like the kid but, man, he does not make it easy.
