Honestly, as the coach and GM, how do you go into last off season and say to yourself, "I honestly think we'll be fine with Hutton backing up. We should be okay in goal"??!

And so today's spiral into the abyss begins.

In fairness, if they showed any less heart, they'd be cooling on a slab in a morgue somewhere...

No matter how well they play, it's hard to imagine a positive outcome with Carter Hutton in goal.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

RISTO!!! Having a day!

Please wake the Sabres, too, when you arise.

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.

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 💩

PP again. Time to tie this baby up.

Nice redirect on that goal.

Mitts had a great pass that went unrewarded.

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

He certainly isn't the solution either.

Bad Sabres hockey...

There must be some really pissed off cardboard cutouts today.
