Or Reilly or Schenn or Insert defender with a pulse here.

We never had the puck.  Never once had control in last 2 mins .  You don’t pull the goalie when you don’t  own the puck. 

 

Too little too late.  You give up a goal with 18 seconds left in the period then you deserve to lose. 

Not completely true.  Had a chance at the 2:20 min mark.  Had the top line out as well

I realize everyone is upset. But stay calm! Riley Stillman will be reporting for duty shortly. 

He might help them. 

[Scottysabres]

Well, we all knew they were a work in progress. Disappointing against a beatable opponent? You bet, especially considering all that comes with the playoff drought. But we need to move past this one, on to the next.

[SwampD]

I thought it was a fun game (or, at least they made it fun by the end). Sucks they lost, but whatever. The CBJs deserved to win. The Sabres at least didn't roll over and made it a game.

Granato is a pod as well.

Again. Whatever. You can make me go to Urban Dictionary, or you can post like a grownup.

I really can't say I've ever seen a coach with either the unwillingness or inability to pull a goalie.

1 minute ago, Eleven said:

He just doesn't get it.  He doesn't know when to replace a struggling goalie and he doesn't know when to pull one late in a game.  It's like he pencils in the lineup for each game, but for G he uses a Sharpie.  

It was weird.

Completely true I should have said EXCEPT he should have pulled Anderson at the 2:20 mark

Sure, that's it. Hits. Lol

It’s a physical game… especially making a playoff run… We got pushed around and flinched all game… Something we didn’t do against two much better teams in both wins in Florida… You’d think we’d learn… Just my opinion

[TageMVP]

Anderson did not look great

Young Dwight sighting!

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. 

I’ve felt what he was feeling in that moment so many times.

It reminds me of McD and the challenge flag enigma.

[French Collection]

 Dahlin was really missed tonight, the D struggle with every aspect of the game. Power tried but he is not ready and was burnt out.

Mule cannot generate offense and the rest are liabilities. Joker looked like an AHLer tonight.

Even a loser point would help for Pete’s sake.

And the opportunity ended at 2:22

The crowd was going bonkers with 58 to go because the Sabres had control and shot it in and... pod.

[HumanSlinky39]

Need to root for Minny and Trashville. At least the Wings already lost.

We needed a save from him tonight, particularly goal 3 which was hideous. Goal 2 was bad too - he was on his knees for no reason. Johnson got ouplayed by a backup goalie is reason #1 we lost. Too bad we couldn't play periods 1 and 2 like we did 3.  Power and Cozens were bad, quinn and Peterka were very good.  I guess it's the nature of young kids.  Oloffson was useless again

Olofsson was useless. I can't name a single decent play he made. 

Mitts also gonna toss into the good list from above. Thought he was at least skating and generating. 

[thewookie1]

Jokiharju should let every fan in attendance punch him after that game he played tonight. Especially for whatever the hell he was doing on the ENG. Where the hell was he looking or going? He was looked into the corner and skated over in that direction never once looking at the guy who would shoot it through his legs to score.

[Spoonman]

8 minutes ago, PASabreFan said:

You saw a different ending than I did.

[thewookie1]

Also, Olofsson what are you good for if you’re not scoring? You play like a slug approaching a salt line when anywhere but open offensive ice.

Why can’t he just be the guy who started last year or has shown up a couple times this year? The guy who plays hard over the entire ice.

I think you're just distracted bc Dodo made Cornish game hens tonight and you know what that means.

but that first round pick might lose us a player that can jump into the line up in 3 years!

[bunomatic]

Well that was nice to see them come out of the slumber for the third period but too little too late. Good to see JJ find some scoring success. Wicked snipe by Quinn. Disappointing result considering the games in hand. Forward we go. Put that one in the rear view.
