What will the TNT announcers say about the Sabres after this horrible first period?   It won’t be good.

Im more sorry the game actually did start. Nobody has told the Sabres yet that it has.

BOS and NJD went to overtime.

Considering the past 2 years he was getting 1-2 games a week, I’m not worried about his development being harmed from lack of play, especially when you also think about how he just got 3 games in 5 days. 

He was also playing in college with a 35 game season the past two years. 
 

He needs to ramp up to playing 55 to 60 games. Even Levi mentioned getting used to a full 82 game was going to be a challenge. 
 

He needs to be playing regularly either here or more preferably in Rochester.

They were letting the real hockey finish up first. 
 

NJ v BOS was a fun one.

Feels like the 20 min delay likely killed the Sabres energy and with the altitude they are having a terrible time going

Mackinnon lifted Benson's stick into his own face. How is that a penalty?

@Stads Really? Let me spell it out for you....

Bisonette is going to torch them 

[Pimlach]

Looks like the first period game plan was to skate backwards into our zone and wait for them.  

[Carmel Corn]

Did the Sabres forget to bring their sticks to this game?  Seems like the only reason why otherwise they can't shoot or defend 🙃

[Stads]

Colorado player clearly deflects that out of play. Why the hell does the faceoff stay in the zone?

Yep, that’s it. 

[GASabresIUFAN]

EJ’s return and the team can’t be bothered to make an effort.  Remember this is the team UPL shutout.  Of course they were going to make an effort.

Our boys don't want to play tonight. Literally, they give the puck away, many times It looks intentional. I actual wonder if they are trying to get Granato fired.

Not saying they are blameless

Benson!

[Pimlach]

We scored.  
 

Benson and the Jets 

[Mango]

I’m almost rooting for 20-0 SOG at this point? 

I can’t believe that’s even possible. 

But honestly, has that ever happened before?
