Believer Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 We lack the killer instinct… Give up too many late goals… lose to many games late… Can’t teach it… We need 23 guys with Benson’s drive and determination… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the majestic Sportscentre odds, it generally means they won't make it to the dance this season. I know some on here don't believe in that stat, but only 3 teams (I believe it is only 3) have defied those odds. I believe this years Sabres will not buck that trend. Ok. But I think they might. I think I’ll keep watching to see what’s up in January. Then I’ll keep watching to the end. Edited November 23, 2023 by Pimlach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m tired of hearing “eventually they are going to win”. We’ve been saying that too long. Start winning games like this and figure out a way to be clutch. Zero excuse for tonight. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a seasoned starting goalie and a better defense for that to happen. Not to mention a real head coach and GM. In other words....I don't see anything getting better anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 I'm not disappointed in a tie tonight. They're a veteran team on a hot-streak. I think we played them about even with a bias toward the Sabres being the better team. We get bone-headed play from our young guys at the worst times. If they can clear up some of that a game like tonight would have been an easy win. Power once again with a weak defensive play. He should have rushed Strome before he edged too far toward the net. Boo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence a 2 on 1 and Levi blew it. Power correctly took away the pass. Levi incorrectly did not play the shooter and was out of position and late. A rookie in the NHL. Wrong about Power. Watch the reply. He actually overcommitted towards Strome right before he was about to shoot, leaving Milano open, and Levi was correctly taking him into account.

We don’t shoot enough period. I thought we outplayed them for most of the game too. Levi was good and Levi was bad. He needs to play more - in Rochester. It will help him immensely. I don’t know if they outcoached us either. They out vetted us. There are still a lot of old Cup winners there and they pulled it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 8 wins, 11 losses for a team that wasn’t even just interested in the playoffs this year, but the Cup. The “in the playoffs by thanksgiving” thing illustrates the difficulties and unlikelihood of turning it around in season, but in the end it’s an arbitrary cut off point - there’s plenty of mathematical opportunity and runway to get it done. they’ll need to pick up that 8 wins in 19 tries pace very soon to do it, though, regardless of the points the league doles out for 2 of those losses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 If the Sabres can play this type of road game at home, they’d have something and win a lot more. As others have said, they seem to pack it in with 1 goal leads and don’t try to put the game away. They get tied late or lose games late way too often. Rough ending. I like Levi but was hoping he’d be a savior this season. Nope, he’s not a savior yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo. I’m so looking forward to people not making excuses for this team. They played great in the first, ok in the second, and tried to protect a one goal lead in the third. If they don’t turn the corner very soon, kiss the playoffs good bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
