'But when Buffalo is getting peppered night in and night out, and egregiously out-possessed, there's only so much they can do. How many breakaway saves is Carter Hutton expected to make? How many cross-crease saves are required when the back door is wide open? They might not be solutions, but what's in front of them is the problem.' … [Read more...] about Five Observations: Sabres shut out by Washington Capitals 6-0

'When the Sabres got out to a slow start following their COVID-19 pause, I don't think anyone expected them to reach a skid of nearly unprecedented proportions. It's been 10 games since Buffalo won. They've gone 0-8-2 in that span. No amount of bite, fight, or grit has been able to turn things around for the blue & gold.' … [Read more...] about Three Observations: Sabres blanked by Penguins 3-0

'But Buffalo quite literally couldn’t get out of their own way. It’s how Brandon Montour got stuck at his own blue line on the Penguins’ first goal. It’s how several breakouts were ruined without a very hard forecheck. To call it sloppy would be an understatement.' … [Read more...] about Five Observations: Sabres come up short in 5-2 loss to Penguins

'The cost, however, is two-fold. A corresponding roster move in the morning saw defenseman Henri Jokiharju loaned to the taxi squad. If anyone else is in Ralph Krueger's dog house this season, it's the former Chicago Blackhawk. Krueger, however, said that Jokiharju is "an important part" of Buffalo's future. The present is all but wasted. So where is Henri?' … [Read more...] about Three Observations: Sabres’ skid continues, Skinner finally finds twine vs. Islanders

'The Sabres weren't grossly outshot, and they even held a lead for nearly an entire period. But the problems among the Rieder-Eakin-Okposo line continue to persist. Okposo looked absolutely lost on the Islanders' third period goal.' … [Read more...] about Three Observations: Sabres fall apart in 5-2 loss to Islanders

'"I've heard there's a lot of questions asked about Sam Reinhart, and questions about Eric Staal," Elliotte Friedman said on Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday. "Nashville's out there, Detroit's out there, but Buffalo is the team that's definitely out there. And again, the word is they're listening to any possibilities."' … [Read more...] about Friedman: Sabres “open for business” on the trade market

'We’ve heard the Sabres say so many times this year that they need to simplify their game. One of the most obvious ways of trying to do that is by getting pucks to the net [cliché, I know] and trying to score some greasy garbage goals. Yet once again the Sabres were grossly outshot by their opponent. Give the Islanders credit, they do a great job getting into shooting lanes, … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Islanders beat Sabres 5-2

'If Sabres fans weren't already sold on Dylan Cozens, they will be now. In the third period, the Sabres 20-year-old rookie got into his first NHL fight and gave his team a much-needed spark. It was the highlight of the game and a glimpse at what Cozens will bring to the table for years to come.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Rangers top Sabres 3-2

'Even as the Sabres continued looking for a spark and looking for the right combination, Cozens got some time on the first power play unit while Eichel was recovering. Whatever Ralph Krueger tried today isn' the answer. Scratching Dylan Cozens certainly isn't a part of the answer either.' … [Read more...] about Three Observations: Sabres blanked by Flyers in 3-0 loss
