nucci Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I won't, just another loss by a Buffalo team. I am so done with moral victories with our teams. They GAVE THE GAME AWAY! Game was taken away....When have you ever seen 2 penalties called like that ? The call on Franzen was crap....at same time Hossa slashed Legwand.....

Iron Crotch Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 ...such a typical "Buffalo sports" outcome. Despite the penalties, we were one second away from killing both off! Oof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Franson on the ice again for 3 on 5. How many times does that particular mistake have to bite us in the ass until Bylsma stops doing it? First line looked good. Second line was pretty bad. I don't think Ennis Eichel and Kane had an o-zone cycle the entire game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Heartbreaking loss but if you had told me we'd take 7 points in our last 5 games against the Blackhawks, Kings, Red Wings, Devils, and Ducks especially after the 3 road losses, I'd have jumped all over it. Should have been 8 with a little more luck but a very nice ending before the break. The team is slowly but surely getting better against some of the best teams. A time to let this particular game go and be optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will make that championship that much more worth it down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 As bad as the double minor on us was don't you think the refs threw us a bone in OT with that phantom hook? Make-up call if I ever saw one. Too bad we didn't cash it in. We still outplayed them for most of the game. Sucks we lost but I'm happy with the big picture so far.

And, we didn't do anything with the ensuing power play. With Eichel, it almost seems like he was told to shoot less and pass more. Seems like he is trying hard to be a setup guy, which is fine... but there are times (like on the final power play) when he really should shoot the puck. He'll figure it out. Look at the career stats of almost any star NHL players and they normally show a jump in productivity from year 1 to year 2. Rookie year is all about learning the game at the highest level.

That did look a little like paralysis by analysis. Who knows who is in his ear. Moulson probably, for one. I have to wait for tomorrow for that though, right? And no guys, we're not talking about the lube. The pelican has landed, I repeat, the pelican has landed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 If this was addressed earlier, my apologies. On the delayed penalty call on Fransen, why wasn't the penalty waived off after Chicago scored? GO SABRES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 O'Reilly really looked shot out there at the end. But you gotta beat that mule till it drops, lol.

RJ said it was because a goal can only wipe out one penalty and that was the guy in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom webster Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 You sure there aren't two Calloway Sabres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Fact one: Josh Gorges knocked away the puck before Patrick Kane tripped. Fact two: Rasmus Ristolainen's high stick was caused by Panarin shrugging off the stick Fact three: both of those instances are still technically penalties Fact four: refs tend to let borderline fouls go late in a tight game. Fact five: I have never seen two borderline minor penalties called at the same time creating a two man-advantage for a full two minutes with less than three minutes to go in a one-goal game, ever. Not even in Montreal. Opinion one: Samson's pass on the O'Reilly goal was a play I can't recall another Sabre making. Opinion two: Ryan O'Reilly is a beast Opinion three: the best team in hockey was lucky to beat us today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarasotaSabre Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Driver and 3 wood. Opinion three is my favorite. agreed, but our first goal was an absolute gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 agreed, but our first goal was an absolute gift. Kind of. They where tired from a good d-zone beat down, Crawford didn't want the cycle to begin again and made a bad decision. Franson pinched, beat a Hawks forward (Mr. Slow won a race!!!), and hit the net. There's some hard work went into that gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SABRES 0311 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Good to see Kane is no longer the Golden Boy of Buffalo. It sucks that DBag scored. However this game gives me hope for the future. Sam and ROR looked good together. Would like to have seen Sam on that PP in OT instead Eichel. Sounds weird but at this point I think he is playing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tondas Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Just watched the game. Slow start but really came on in the 3rd. Overall, i thought they hung well with a great team. Refs altered the outcome which is a shame. Got a chuckle when Brad May referred to Evander Kane as African-American during the 1st intermission. Hard to be African-American when he's not, well, American. Sabres playing well of late. Dont like the long layoff till the next game. Merry Christmas everyone.
