The problem tonight is the same thing that has hampered the Sabres all season. Lack of defensive awareness in their own end. PH needs to let them play out the game. No silly pull the goalie stuff. Focus on next season. This team is in search of an identity, grit, team defense and aggressive offense.

Anti climatic confirmation. Rock solid goal and on sides.

Good win.

WHY are you shooting on your own goalie??? Get it out of your end. Push the play!

Stop the blind passes

That line up got out played. Wow!

Some of these Sabres shoot too slowly. Slow to pull the trigger giving the goalie time to recover and make the save.

Yelling at Bogo because he shot the puck? Kind of wimpy

Fluke goal but I will take it. SWEEEEEET

Penguins are playing aggressive with the lead. Something the Sabres need to learn.

That was such a Sabres play. Refs miss the obvious.

Whiff with an open net....Sabres legacy

That line is working hard

Mittelstadt....great effort!

They have to bury the chances they get. Not shooting it wide of the net.

I loathe the high stick. Victimized by is prior to the days of helmets but it was rare. Today many players carry the stick too high and it leads to penalties. Wilson hit him mid arm. Not needed.

New identity? What is the current one? This is one erratic bunch

Thanks Wilson. Undisciplined play leads to two goals. Instead of heading to the third with the lead....the team is down by one.

FUDGE

Wilson....that was a bad penalty to take.

I have been a fan since 1970. I think I will ever see a Cup squad in Buffalo. Sabres need a veteran NHL front office type who has helped build teams that have competed for the Cup to be a voice behind the scenes. Botterill is a nice guy but he has not won me over.

If you want to know why the Sabres are a bad team? Look at the past decade of drafting. So many premium draft picks that did not pan out or where traded away. This organization has to get way better at scouting talent and figure out what kind of team they want and have a long term plan (no matter the head coach). This team can not be built on cast offs, low level free agents and the occasional trade.

This team has no identity, chemistry or have your back attitude. Just a collection of guys. Side note...PH stop pulling the goalie. It does not work for this edition of Buffalo Sabres. They do not have the grit or discipline to impose their will on the opponent.

This team is beyond aggravating to watch.

Playoffs are not in the picture so play the young guys. Try new blood on the PP.
