Well I was at the game. I will say that at least they were competing and looked more like a hockey team. Not a total embarrassment. They still had their lapses and against the Pens they ended up in the net.

It still befuddles me how they can look so lost one night and reasonably competitive the next. That is definitely on the players however I still think they need a coach that holds them accountable game to game shift to shift.

 

The Sabres are getting no respect from any of the teams they face. They are considered fragile and easy to rattle into making mistakes and that is exactly what we have seen. The players are the ones that need to flip that script by being harder to play against and not so easily exploited. Until then teams will just continue to play them that aggressively taking away time and space with no fear this team can make them pay for that aggressive style.

 

I think that's my last in person game till this team starts play consistently and competes on a regularly.

Yup -  I spent $60 to see them here in Detroit two Fridays ago - they looked pitiful and hapless for the most part against a team that was ranked 25th, 26th in the league in scoring at that time -  that's the last dime spent by me on the Sabres - until their record = .500.
