So NOW Buchie givin’ the young gun, yur gonna be good after stroking the cane all night - after go 2 ahead goal. Narrative was written and was not going to change unless Sabres won at end (still can). I hate ‘narratives’ from the national announcers.

Take 1 back now 🙂

What if..the Sabres have been blasting sweet Caroline in practice all week?

I’d say they need a new DJ…

[#freejame]

That was a weak call

Complete lockdown. Im envious of their defensive game. 

At least recognition swords ⚔️ down 3 Dmen, I’ll give ‘em that 

[inkman]

Honestly, the Sabres have been getting man handled all night. Look like little kids playing against their dads.

Did they think it was contact with the head?

Carolina is such a good team. I’d say top 3.  

Until the playoffs start, as per usual.

We look like doodoo

[jad1]

Sabres are being physically dominated by some veteren players.

[Believer]

Sabres getting an abject lesson in how  top teams finish

[inkman]

Not sure what kinda zone entry Power was attempting but it was the worst I’ve ever seen

That would be a bad idea.

Just aren't at the Canes level yet. No shame in that, they will take a lot of good lessons from this one even in a loss. 

They have played pretty well, just no answers for the Canes speed, team structure and aggressiveness in the D zone.

[inkman]

So I’m gonna wait another 71 games before making any declarations about the loftiness of this team.  
 

The audacity and bad juju to even start that thread.  

[Believer]

Shoot the puck… 

[GoPuckYourself]

Please trade Middlestadt for a defensemen who can actually play defense. It's like Carolina has a breakaway on every other play.

[Claude Balls]

Sabres passing and shooting has been off all night. Some due to Carolina clogging space up and some due to Buffalo just playing sloppy in the offensive zone.

Our young defenders will look like this in a couple seasons. Carolina is impressive.

[Believer]

PP sounds horrible… Can only imagine how bad it looks…

[GoPuckYourself]

Fitzgerald, Bryson and Clague just aren't good enough.

Captain says something and they let him win a draw 

[Gatorman0519]

We clearly are not on Carolinas level yet. But these are games where you learn how along the way.  The power play especially needs to find ways to put speed on a pressure team like this.
