No, Ennis is in Tim Connolly territory....a player who was on the cusp of becoming a star that got a very bad concussion and never was anything close to the same player again. Ennis was a first round pick. He was doing what he was supposed to do, if that....he has never had more than 49 points in a season...that constitures "over producing" as a first round pick these days??

He definitely contributed greatly to the no D being played

McGinn didn't play well above what he was capable of...the dude has been a 17-23 goal scorer most of his career. Points sometimes are simply the result of more ice time...someone has to get them after all...if you pass the puck to someone who passes to someone who makes a play, you didn't really have much to do with it, but you get a secondary assist. And who the hell is Cy Hsgn?

Alex Mogilny when he scored 77 goals? Probably could have had 100 if he was better on breakaways...his only move was slipping it backhand through the 5 hole...

If what they do is considered "help", I'd hate to see what hurting would be... After 70 games of: Leaving guys wide open in the slot like they are ghosts and just appeared there out of thin air.... Not paying attention to 3rd men in cruising down a wide open slot to get great scoring chances period after period... Getting peppered with the most shots per game in the NHL... Yeah...so much "help" they give him. What help are you talking about? The kind where they help dive on a loose puck in the slot because they didn't bother covering anyone so the other team gets 4 or 5 whacks at the puck? This might be one of the dumbest teams I've ever seen...they have literally not improved at all over the entire season and still allow the same things to happen over and over now as they did in game 1. With teammates like that, who needs opponents??

This guy gets hung out to dry night after night by this crappy D who 70 games into the season still hasn't learned how to do fundamental things you learn in major-junior hockey like cover wide open guys in the slot or pick up a basic 3rd man trailing into the zone without allowing him to get the puck in stride and cruise down the slot for great chances period after period. He damn well right has earned the ability to speak up. He bails their @sses out time after time and he deserves better than this garbage. He gets to watch this team play fundamentally crap hockey game after game and decide they want to play for 10 minutes a night or 20 minutes a night and is just supposed to keep his mouth shut?? Gets used as target practice because of it, facing the most shots in the NHL?? F that. Call these mofo's out. Either they can get their @ss in gear or they can get the hell out of here. I've had enough watching this lackadaisical BS that these guys think passes as professional hockey...half the time they look like they are more interested in figure skating out there. The bigger concern I have is this has been a problem for at least this whole season if not longer, to a man they talk about how it's unacceptable and how it's a problem, but yet it never improves. So either they just don't care, or Bylsma isn't holding anyone accountable. Start sitting people and docking their ice time and that message will get through really quick.

Fleury is not a great player...he is average at best. Who cares if he is a #1 pick, he definitely hasn't lived up to it.

This team is brutal to watch right now

This team fvcking sucks

If the hardest thing for a web developer to do was write good HTML they should find a different job. It's pretty trivial. Lol

I'm not sure you can say they have had a lot of games they should have won when they are giving up the most shots in the NHL, are the 2nd worst puck possession team in the NHL, and routinely look like they are a high school team chasing around a pro team in their own zone. Their defense is atrocious. They still leave players wide open in the slot and rarely cover the 3rd guy trailing into the zone. Their Penalty Kill is abysmal. They look like they have learned absolutely nothing about play in their own zone all season long and look like they have been regressing even from that piss poor standard the last 3 weeks. This team is a dumpster fire that doesn't respect their coach and his style. Bylsma needs to get canned, he has not made anyone better, he has made them worse.

This team is fvcking trash under Bylsma...its embarrassing...getting outshot like they are Latvia playing Canada half the games...gimme a break. There is no valid reason this team should be THAT bad.

This team is trash...Bylsma needs to go

Doesn't matter what they want they are RFA's with no real leverage

According to people very close to the team I am not, and it started early on last year...Paul Hamilton, Sabres beat reporter, said pretty much its one of two things...either they don't want to play his system or Bylsma is asking them to do things they cannot do or cannot figure out how to do. People in Pittsburgh said it's pretty much the exact same thing that happened there---the star players didn't like his system or coaching style or whatever...you CANNOT succeed as a coach when you alienate your best players, doesn't matter who is right. Talent still wins games at the end of the day. Either way, this appears headed for a messy divorce this offseason.

Eichel is turning into an elite player right before our eyes....leading the NHL in scoring since February 1st...averaging a point a game...starting to make people look silly multiple times a game now, especially when he has the puck on the power play and just holds it while drawing 2 or 3 guys to him and then finds the wide open guy for an easy goal...he is turning into everything we hoped he would be and I can't wait to see what is in store next year...

His players are tuning him out, it won't matter how good his roster is.

Sabres are also 8th in goals scored since he returned after being dead last without him. Listening to some NHL guy's analytics for Eichel, he is 3rd in some points per 20 or something like that(can't remember exactly), he leads the NHL in times per game he carries the puck out of the defensive zone, and leads the NHL in times per game he carries it into the offensive zone. Basically the NHL guy said people just don't realize how great he is yet but they are starting to come around...said his analytics rank McDavid and Eichel as a near coin flip right now in terms of who is better...

Lehner has been flat out terrible in most of the last 5 games save for Tampa Bay, where he was just terrible in the shootout as usual...4+ goals on most nights...save percentage down to.922 falling from 4th to 9th...he keeps this up he'll be down to 15th or so in no time...

Then Jack comes back and scored twice...for a 3 point night...Apparently he is the only one who showed up tonight

Lol...Bylsma, we hardly knew ye...

This team finds new and interesting ways to blow leads of al sizes apparently...shades of the Philadelphia game earlier in the year...

The trade of Cattenaci for Bodie should do it!!! Lol

Why do we have one of the best PP units in the NHL? Because Jack is so calm with the puck..2 or 3 defenders come at him...no problem..stay calm, protect the puck and find the wide open guy and then start the tic tac toe passing for a goal...it's night and day when he has the puck on the PP versus someone else Imagine if we weren't running around in our own zone for 2/3 of the time he is on the ice how many points he would have?? Dude is a magician with the puck

Yeah they lost the final game by a goal
