Dawkins is trash.

If only there was a pass catching rb that could have been there... you know, a guy they could let cook instead of benching.

We've now reached the "offense can't do *****" portion of the 3rd qrtr.

Won't happen, Pegula likes him and he's signed through like 2027. They'll explain it away as being unlucky in close games.

Why a seagull?

Both hits are bad. They need to consistently call them.

When does kc adjust and when does McDermott force the offense to play safe?

I'm not being clear in what I saw that bothered me. You're right, they take shots from the slot. My issue is shot assists to someone in the slot. What I saw very clear and have been seeing is that a player on the wall will get the puck. The Sabres then have 1 forward low behind the goal and the other forward typically in close support up the wall. Both defenders man a point. The system wants them to feed pucks to the point not to the middle. There were numerous times last night where the forward on the wall gets the puck and his only option is rim behind the net or back to the point. No one and I mean NO one was going to the slot for passes or deflections. That shot chart makes sense because those were rushes and occasional passes within the zone but notice the center and most of the left side is empty.

The Sabres pp has been bad for years and no one has done anything about it. They have never changed tactics. Fire everyone. Cut the fat regardless of vibes. Add real nhl players.

Quinn is underrated around here. All that once was is now lost, for none now live who remember.

If Eric Johnson is in next game, it's because of stupidity. He costs us this game directly. This team isn't serious and the whole playing the vets while better players sit thing is absurd. Adams needs to add and he needs to cut, quite frankly I don't give a damn how close they are as a team. I'm over the coaches. A monkey with a typewriter could run a better pp and an idiot with a peewee team could get players to go to the slot. We're not making the playoffs and we're picking top 10 again. Top 5 maybe

If you drew a line from goalpost to face off dot, across to other dot and back to goalpost, no Sabre would go there. It's like an invisible dog face.

Zach Benson is fantastic. Everyone else is dumb.

It surprised you? There's never anyone there, this system is garbage.

No, they lost because they refuse to play NHL hockey. No one, and I mean NO one, goes to the slot for the team. It's all perimeter trash. They have no idea when to shoot, they pass too much, they choke constantly.

Fire the entire team into the sun

If this team shot when they have open lanes they'd win things but they are cutesy, lazy, and afraid

Go. To. The. Front. Of the. NET!

Eric Johnson shouldn't see the ice in the 3rd. For him to talk all that ***** about defense and be that lazy and then have that garbage gap, screw you buddy. Put up or shut up.
