Reinhart with a 4 point night to rub even more salt into the wound

First 32 minutes 4-1 Buf Last 28 minutes 6-0 Fla

Sabres with just one shot on goal since Knight took over.

Yeah it’s frustrating. I’d even say more than 3 years. Teaching a team how to play in the defensive zone is actually one of the easiest things to teach in hockey. And for whatever reason over time with multiple coaches and players it hasn’t happened here.

They have a stacked roster. They should have a decent chance at being in the final 4 at worst.

Dell is really bad. But this team also has ZERO clue how to play in the defensive zone. And hasn’t for years.

I’m thinking next team to score will end up winning this game. Next goal is huge.

Now we are blaming the league schedule makers for our bad play? OK. EVERY team has this issue this year due to the Olympic break.

Ugh. Another wasted night in Sabreland.

I wonder if every time he sees Adams if he asks him “can we have a goalie?”

5 games in 7 nights. Boy what a fun week this will be.

Time for Calgary to start really roughing us up.

And also to teams that have zero clue how to play defense.

Mercy rule time?

You can never go wrong with a #11 white old school Perrault jersey. That’s the only Sabres jersey I’ll wear to any future games if I’m wearing a jersey at all. Sadly my 50th anniversary Eichel jersey will have to remain in my closet, which is a shame because that is one sharp jersey.

If the management expected to win with the goaltending they chose to go with this year we are in bigger trouble than we thought. It’s far more reasonable to conclude they didn’t expect to win. I’m guessing you must know the answer.

The Sabres could upgrade in goal if they really really wanted to try and win more games this year. They won’t try to upgrade and it’s a real shame. This team is playing much better than anyone including their own management expected.

Just imagine what this team could do if we actually had a goaltender

Agreed. I know he lives in LA and does all his everyday work from there. So I wondered that myself. I wasn’t watching right before face off so I don’t know if they showed them up above for the intro.

Bucci is struggling tonight. I expected better from him. Almost sounds Tipsy. The other one is flat out unlistenable.

It looks very poor. I figured it might be decent with McDavid here.

Sabres have to fight through the opponent, officials and announcers. Lol that’s a lot

They are awful, not a good start for these announcers. It’s in it’s in. Oh wait maybe not. Morons

Sure looks like they are going to try to match the Bills record of 17 years of futility. It’s going to be damnnnnn close since we are already at what? 11 years and counting?

Sorry but your premise is wrong in regards to Pittsburgh. Mario’s rookie season was 1984-85. Recchi’s rookie season was 1988-89. Jagr’s rookie season was 1990-91. The Pens won their first cup in 1990-91. So it wasnt even close to a decade for the Pens to win. It was Mario’s 7th year, Recchi’s 3rd year and Jagr’s 1st year.
