I was worried about the Olympic send off coming into this game.Β 

I thought the team was starting to get tired and losing some edge with a bit of puck luck.

Given their history of sitting back and thinking games would just sort of come to them they really needed an edge tonight not a celebration.

It's not why we loss, but theses little things do add up and make an impact.

Can’t be too upset about this one considering how they played in Florida but it still really sucks to lose.

As another poster saidβ€”pretty accuratelyβ€”the game was essentially sabotaged by Bryson. They just couldn’t overcome his four minutes of ice time. Who knows how this game plays out if he doesn’t dress.

That said, they hurt themselves too: too many shots missed the net, the wide-open chance by Tage in the slot was a huge missed opportunity, and their goalie outplayed ours. In the end, that was the difference.

I'm sure Power can fall to the ground just as good as Krebs does.

I can't believe this board pisses all over Power.Β  He was literally the only dman who played well tonight.Β  After this game, hopefully we never see Bryson play another game in a Sabres uniform.Β  Byram turned over the puck on goal 4 and had bad puck luck when it hit him and went right to the PIT forward.

Lousy way to go into the break, especially will a crowd that wanted to go crazy, but hopefully Jarmo will see the need for a dman.

Momentum is a big thing and Bryson letting a rookie fck him over changed the hole feel of the game. Then we're fighting back and he trips over himself and changed momentum again. These things can't happen.

Why the fck did Ruff play him over Metsa? Bryson is and always has been a dumpter fire.

Lyon was pretty bad too. I bet expected goals for PIT was around 1 or 1.5 - he needed to make a save

Well, these past 4 games should bring everyone back down to earth as to where the Sabres are. They have improved but they are by no means cup contenders.Β 
Β 

And following the Olympic break the grueling part of their schedule really kicks in to high gear as there are many conference and division opponents in March.

But yea, not impressed for the tail end before the break. I do wonder if Jarmo moves Tuch if the losing continues coming out of the break before the deadline. Something to ponder while we wait I suppose.

Well it was pretty even at first but Pitt wanted it more and won more puck battles. Sabres didn't have the jump they had in Florida. Hopefully a one off and this isn't what we will see in the big post Olympic games stretch run. Sabres won't win unless they play with pace and they didn't have it tonight.Β 

I'm sorry, but Kesselring is garbage. If Doan wasn't a pleasant surprise that trade would be a bust. Now maybe next year he pulls a Samuelsson but right now, he's not even as good as Bryson or Metsa (or Timmons, remember him?)

Krebs more and more looks like he wants to become the new Matthew Barnaby. He's an idiot, but he's our idiot.Β 

Now I advise everyone to switch over to the Florida game. 4-0 and a brawl. Forsling just pounding on a guy on ice in typical dirty Panther style. Maurice just tossed. Circus time.Β

Looks like one of the Sabre Moms got access to an accountΒ

Were they getting tired or were they coming back down to earth… we will see after the Olympics

Can we please launch Jacob Bryson into the sun

Jarmo needs to make a couple of moves

Yep and his history says he will make a couple of moves.Β  now he has a bit of reason to shake up the status quo

Not trying to beat a dead horse, but this game should make it ridiculously obvious to Jarmo that he needs to find more defensemen. Β Our top 4 can’t keep up this pace, especially in a playoff series…and one of them can easily get hurt along the way. Β Kesselring is not meeting expectations and Timmons is really a 7th defender. Β Under no circumstances can Bryson or even Metsa can be on our 3rd pairing….they don’t play enough quality minutes to help. Β 

Lindy needs to demand that Kesselring play more of a stay-at-home style and less free-lancing…he’s not good enough to be joining the rush. Β We need a monster who can control and protect the crease and slot areas

Just a pathetic display and they should be embarrassed. This team has nothing wrapped up. Not by a long shot.Β 

All trades should be considered by Jarmo after the break.Β

I don't think any single player can be blamed for the loss tonight. This was a team effort by a team that took the night off.

did you not watch Bryson tonight. Team was below average but if that wasn't the worst 4 minutes of hockey played by one player ever, I'd like to see worse. tripping over yourself is embarrassing enough, but, not hustling back to retrieve a puck and allowing a 19 year old to blow by you for a breakaway is horrifying

5-0 and looks like the Panthers back up just tore his balls. Had to be helped off the iceΒ

His play killed our mojo tonight
