Forecheck

Don’t hold your breath. That’s not who he is.

After Sunday’s game the Sabres will have already completed 10.7% of their season. They currently have just ONE team below them in the standings. That team is Dallas who has played ONE game. So they will pass us within the next day or two. So we are basically already in the basement of the entire league. Again. So to those who keep repeating its early, perhaps it is, but the Sabres have now left themselves no wiggle room the rest of the season. They can’t have any extended losing streaks the rest of the way. Who honestly believes that can happen?

I think the Buffalo Bills have a better chance of winning the super bowl this year and then going 19-0 next year and winning it all again, than the Sabres do of making the playoffs this year. And I’m not exaggerating or trying to be funny at all. If I had to put money on one of those two outcomes actually occurring, I’d choose the Bills without hesitation.

I think posters said that in 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 etc etc etc. Could the Sabres magically turn everything around and start playing well and possibly make the playoffs? I guess anything is possible. If I had to bet any of my money on their chances, I’d say add 2021 to the list of lost years. The proof of the inadequacy of this teams talent, coaching, front office and ownership has been more than obvious over the past 10 years. Anyone claiming with confidence it’s going to turn around this year is just wishful thinking at this point. It’s not based on any measurable facts.

Lol apparently that was a great effort according to our broadcasting moron pair. Wow. Just wow.

How do we lose to this team? Completely unacceptable.

Can someone score ?

My god he is snake bitten

And that’s saying something when you think about it.

I sure hope the Sabres play much much better Sunday. Tonight has been embarrassing, even if we do somehow win the shootout

If the Sabres can’t take 2 games from the Caps with them missing so many guys, I think we have our answer to how this season will go.

Defensive zone play is awful tonight

I wonder if the Sabres are going to be happy that info is out there now for other teams.

I’m leaning towards he will sit on his hands. Just a hunch

Hey Montour how about you make that hit ANYWHERE else on the ice instead of there? 🤦‍♂️

Montour is a moron

I’m pretty sure he was joking. I’m 99% sure they showed him upstairs in the arena

Goaltending might be the single easiest position in hockey to instantly improve. They rely on no one but themselves. Forwards and defenseman require the “system” and teammates. Goaltenders can just be plugged in and work without dependence on other factors. It’s the simplest fix yet the Sabres have struggled with it since Miller was traded. Yes I’m oversimplifying but I think most understand what I’m saying here.

Seems like the organization was worried about cap cost due to the pandemic or whatever excuse they are using this year. There were a lot of available goaltenders this off-season. It’s criminal that they didn’t try to improve the goaltending situation.

There is zero chance the Sabres make a goaltending move during the season. They will live or die with these two. And after another missed playoff year I’d be shocked if they don’t bring in someone next year. But yes it should have been done this year if they were actually serious about winning.

Wasn’t Razor in the arena? I could have sworn they showed him there in pregame

Agreed. Why someone hasn’t forced RK to put Skinner back with Eichel on the first line is beyond me. It worked great so let’s not do that.

RK is and will continue to be the problem. Skinner belongs in the first line with Eichel or he belongs in another uniform. There is NO other option. Wonder how long it takes the braintrust to figure this out. They already wasted one year.

If RK is going to refuse to use Skinner properly there is NO reason for Skinner to be here. I’m sure they’d love to trade him this year if they can. This just in...Razor is a moron.

I much prefer the Rob Ray style of fighting over Peters or now McCabe
