Uh oh........... another vicious attack on a referee. I wonder if Vermette got a concussion earlier in the game and didn't know what he was doing. https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/831705368178860034

Cool, what are you doing in the rain forest?

We look like the same team that's played all season.

Wash, rinse, repeat..........................

Is it just me, or did some of those accuracy timers seem a bit fast?

I didn't mean to hijack the thread. But he's a popular coach with the players, doesn't make an example out of them but he holds them accountable. He plays to his player's strengths, doesn't try to force a "system". He likes to stick with pairs and let them gel, usually he'll try to keep entire lines together, but he likes pairs. He won't mix them up after a bad period. He seemed to warm up to a small level of analytics. He likes to have some level of physicality no matter how fast the team is. He won't take any crap from the officials, he'll stick up for his players and get vocal when they need a boost. He started the year off with some difficulty, four new defensemen and the loss of Huberdeau off the bat. He wasn't happy with what was going on within the organization, but in his defense, Viola made them a laughing stock. He's not the kind of guy to lose a team.

As long as Bergevin is there, I don't think they'll be very good.

The Sabres haven't had a 4 game winning streak in the last two seasons. The last 4 game winning streak was 2014-15 when they finished dead last.

So does a city on the verge of having TWO teams with the longest playoff drought in their sport.

Too bad the coach doesn't have the balls to do it.

What the hell is Goober even talking about!?!?@!?@#! My god he can't even find the nerve to say what's on his mind much less push these guys to do their best. Get him out of here!

23 wins in 56 games. At least they're at 500.

Just save these guys the time and replay the locker room interviews from any of the last ten losses. Nobody will know any different. I've never heard of it.

I like being entertained. Any good series on Netflix? I'm about to put hockey to the side for a while.

The Sabres look like a team desperate for a win.

They're due for a good period.

On the plus side, the Sabres play well for one period only. It certainly wasn't the first or the second.

According to Wikipedia, the 1979-80 Kings hold the record for worst penalty kill in a season @ 67.7%. Just sayin'................... Is this the 10th too many men penalty of the season?

Yup, going to be fun watching him develop.

Murray: "Goober, I used a 1st round pick on this guy and my ego won't let me be wrong. Don't you dare think about starting the other guy who has equally impressive stats."

All these weaknesses and one of the worst defenses in the league in front of him, and he's still one of the best goaltenders in the league. Can you imagine how good he's going to be when those get corrected? I can't believe Murray only spent a mid 1st rounder to pick up a young goaltender with Vezina potential.

.... is a friendly bird?
