Change the goalie, get the team moving again.

 

Feels like the puck has been hopping like crazy and Seattle started jumping quicker and now it’s bouncing even more. It’s a very unusual game to watch.

The last time he pulled Levi, UPL gave up 4 goals in no time.  
 

I would change goalie though, after chewing them out.   
 

The home stand to get back in the race is off to a poor start.

C'mon, Sabres. Give us something to cheer about this period!!!!!!!!

Let's F'N Go!!!!!!

Leaky as hell. And he doesn’t consistently track the play well.

He will probably become a good NHL goalie.

It’s Adams’ fault that the Sabres are relying on him now.

Oh I agree he likely will...he just isn't ready. No consistency. You can't play lights out one game and play like hot garbage the next. Been like that almost every game

It is coaching if they stop trying.   No accountability, just keep sending the same guys out there, nothing changes.

Roster construction and youth are factors but by far the biggest issue is coaching

3 of 5 shots go in.   Let's not over analyze this.  the goalie has to be better

That incensed me.  More effort into getting back in time to cover his man would have been appreciated instead.

Krueger almost killed him.

Early Granato brought him back.

Now he’s morphed into a player I don’t like a whole lot. He’s inconsistent and his commitment to defense is absent.

This team doesn’t have what it takes to make the playoffs. KA might as well do a reset. Trade deadline is 2 months away. Make a substantial trade Mr. Adams. Give us hope. Prove to the fanbase you have a clue in team building.

You mean trading for Robinson wasn't enough?!?!

Seriously, what the heck does Adams do to earn his salary???  I guess in his mind, trying is enough (vs. doing).  Cue Yoda....do or do not, there is no try.

Power with a hope and a prayer on that clearing attempt.

Dahlin cracking his stick on Levi’s cage is … something.

he has an interesting history with goalies

The man said on WGR that he feels it will work itself out... This is what we'll have to watch this season once again!!!

Another turnover, another goal. Oh, wait, another turnover, another goal. 

Levi should stop that 5th goal. 

Terrible game by Jokiharu.  Turnover, penalty, goal. Turnover, goal. Two goals directly attributable to his sloppy and not smart play. 

No way he should be starting over R Johnson - it's a joke

[Big Guava]

Must be nice to have a teen capable of winning 6 straight. We can't even get to 3. Barely can manage 2.

[#freejame]

Just checked the score. Guess I can go back to watching games now. 

[Dreams Burn Down]

My better half just walked past the room and said, "You're still watching that ****?"

[SwampD]

Tage is maddening. If he was on my shinny team I might punch him.

My wife just shakes her head, smiles and walks by......and thinks "What an idiot he is......"

[HumanSlinky39]

I've switched over to watch the Oilers; it's like they're playing a different sport. They sure turned things around following a coaching change.

Does anybody think the Kraken have more "talent" than Buffalo?  I certainly don't....so that leaves COACHING as the difference.

[Sidc3000]

I do like Levi’s lightning glove

[Pimlach]

Seattle plays great team defense.  They will likely protect this lead.
 

I just want to see some life at this point.   Win the period or something. 

[Big Guava]

When our goalie isn't giving up bad goals and the D is busy covering nobody, we are busy making below average goalies look like Hasek.

A little sustained pressure there 

[Pimlach]

You hear the organ going, no audience participation.   How many are there tonight?

Canucks are something too.  Coming to town this weekend.  Q Hughes, silky like our guy 26, but a much more intelligent game and a +30.

Yes...some nice perimeter possession play there!
