Tage just looks disinterested this year.

ANOTHER STELLAR SABRES POWER PLAY

Can't wait til Appert's HC.

[Stads]

Probably the most frustrating period of the season so far. This is what happens when we get subpar goaltending. We're not good enough as a whole to overcome it

This is an amazingly bad PP

I particularly liked where Power tried to drop pass to no one.

[DarthEbriate]

How are we doing?

Same as always.

That bad, huh?

[Sabres73]

I understand the human side and why Dahlin is distracted by real life this year, but this is the worst he's looked in at least four years.

Appert loves the area pass.

It has its time and place, but...

I really thought this was the year…

It’s still early yet, we haven’t even had our 12 to 18 game losing streak. That normally kicks off late November, early December.

Why would people expect different, we haven’t acquired the tools up and down the organization to change the culture.

And the cycle continues…….

They actually already have this season

Ever since, what's his f#ck took a run at Miller and we didn't respond (John Scott did, the season after but...) in a timely manner, the Bruns have been in this clubs head 

Redemption is gonna be sweet 

[HumanSlinky39]

Terrible period. Embarrassing, even.

You could probably say that about last game too. Oh that right, they were surprised by the 6:45 start last game 🤦‍♂️

I was joking haha. As far as thinking it was the year. I was thinking it was gonna be another mediocre year so we’re definitely on schedule.

[Crusader1969]

Just awful 

start off strong 

Benson messes up a 4v1

Zucker flubs a point blank shot 

Dahlin gets a weak call against him and the Bruins score 

1 goal against and the stop skating 

McLeod with a terrible turnover 

bruins score again

Lyon 2 goals against on first 3 shots 

they get a power play and it's as awful as any we've seen

hope I'm wrong but it feels like game over

Dahlin and McLeod are playing the farthest below their last year's performance.

[PromoTheRobot]

We are back to giving up breakaways. McLeod shoots it right into a Bruins stick. Do they look before they shoot?

[jad1]

10 games, 10 points.  Not on playoff pace.

There are promising things happening on the team, but more work needs to be done.  It's time to fire Adams.

Tuch's contract, the three-headed goalie situation, three highly paid defensemen who can't play on a line together.

Turn it over to Jarmo to see if he can make the decisions needed to get the Sabres into the playoffs.

[DarthEbriate]

Boston feed...   the PP zone entry... no drop pass. Just 3 guys rushing up ice with speed and 2 already at the blue line. Almost lost it... but they supported each other and had a wide-open shot from the slot.

[HILLsabre]

Well, almost made it to Halloween this season.....🥱 Getting predictable.

The thing is our guys really do often have the opportunity to swing games and it’s still the same old screw ups and then you watch our opponents go down and cash in

Just think about the other night Kulich has a break away to secure an extra point and he fails. We have a beautiful four on one opportunity early when we’re out playing them and Benson can’t even hit the net and Benson is one of our players that actually tries every single night.

Our guys just don’t cash in that has not changed at all

Ok, after seeing the replay again and seeing the goal visualizer to confirm it, I really don't like how McLeod played that PK zone entry that led to the goal.

Zone entries are tough to defend at times, but the Sabres get in trouble with the PK when they chase the puck/play the puck INSTEAD of playing their zone/spot on the ice.

Exactly what happened here. The zone entry was up the middle/shaded toward Tuch's side of the ice, but McLeod went to the puck and left his side High (near side) wide open where Geekie stepped in to score the goal.

Samuelsson is on that side of the ice, but he has to back in to defend against anyone crashing the net.

 

 

The play did happen fast but I agree McLeod left a zone open he should not have.

With this and the giveaway, I wonder if Ruff is singling him out in the locker room for his mistakes in the 1st?

Can't wait til Appert's HC.

It's going to be hilarious when Adams gets promoted to POHO and he talks about the exhaustive search he did during Appert's introductory press conference.

If Appert does eventually get the nod, I actually might need to officially switch over to the Panthers or something. I will not be able to watch that guy coach this team.

[DarthEbriate]

Benson was too busy trying to look off the goalie. I'd rather he just wound up and put if off the pad for a rebound than to shoot late and go wide. Gotta capitalize on opportunities.

(Or at least put it on net.)

If we win tonight we're tied for the last wildcard with 12 points, but have played one more game.
