Wait, Kane and Zemgus are hurt? What'd I miss? If anyone could give me a quick rundown of how we looked, it'd be awesome

Zemgus left at some point, if I remember correctly it was early in the game, with what was termed an UBI. They said he wasn't returning. I actually didn't see the play where he got hurt, if there was an obvious instance.

 

Kane took a bit of a slash to the side of the knee late, and went down, looked to be in pain. But the slash didn't look too bad and he was sitting on the bench after, it was late enough that he didn't really have a chance to come back out. He looked to be walking normally on the way to the locker room when everyone was headed there. My guess is he is ok.

Z had an open ice collision with a Bruin and appeared to hurt his shoulder.

I'm a few minutes behind, but I can see why fans have nothing to cheer about. My god this is painful to watch.

I'll say that 1 in 10 Sabres games over the last few years have been worth actually watching.

 

I've taken to scheduling a second activity to do while "watching" the games now.

 

The entertainment product now is literally not strong enough to singly hold my attention for the duration of a game.

Yes, Z looked to be the one on the offensive with the hit and somehow got the worst of it. As soon as that happened, he was clearly in a lot of pain

Why didn't the Sabres pull Lehner again after the Bruins made it 4-1? Can you score three goals in a minute? Sure you can. Why not try? 5-1, who cares? I have always disliked the tradition of quitting at the end of games. Even at 3-1 in that situation you see often coaches throw in the towel.

There are plenty of valid reasons to criticize Bylsma.  You don't need to dig so deep.

Next game, Chad in goal. And it all starts all over again :P

1 in 10 sounds about right, and if I scroll through the other games it's usually about 1 in 7 throughout the rest of the league.

Larsson didn't do to bad.   Guess only exciting thing in the game.
