Washington plays soft defense and will not go far in the playoffs.

Hall's stats from the past three seasons (135 games 29 goals 79 assists) compared to his prior three seasons (230 games 85 goals 126 assists) show guy on the decline and what the team got was the best at this time. Time to move on. Losing Lazar stings. I liked the kid.

Glad that he is gone. Bipolar player. Either making some really good plays on one shift then playing like a dumpster fire on the next. Let him be someone else's problem.

Three late goals means, like I have said before, these Sabres you can not chalk up as an easy win. You have to earn that victory and today Philly learned hard that this is not RKs squad. These young guns are playing better. WAY better.

Where momma hides the cookies

PP is making nice passes up top. Got nothing to show for it.

Risto took one for the team. I would have words with my team mate for the shot at me.

Simple mistakes and technique errors. Hal,arks of young players. They will learn to eliminate them. Have to play and learn.

Disagree. These young guys are showing energetic play. When they were under RK and losing the opponent came it knowing it was an easy night. Now they can not.

They are serving notice that they will not be an easy mark. You better be ready to play when you go head to head with the Sabres.

Love the hustle

That long reach comes in handy

I concur

It is good to see the chains off and the young guys develop right before our eyes.

Panic play

Blind pass to an open wing. Washington quickly turns it around and its into the net.

Next season I do not want to see useless vets like Sheahan, Miller and Irwin gone. Let the young guys play Risto acted like a rookie. He should know better.

Told my son whoever scored the 4th goal would win 5-3. But you nailed it.

Way to shoot the puck into the ref. Lazy hockey by Sheahan

Wild passes with no NJ player near by is a hockey sin. Tape to tape passes to start the rush! Two NJ Devils out played four Sabres. Brutal.

Ebb and flow with the Sabres. They can bounce back but it takes a HC to get them to get into the game mentally.

They are missing simple short passes. GEEZ guys.

Sabres are back to playing bad hockey.

Some of these offensive end passes are horrible. Cross ice is not smart.
