Interestingly Buffalo, sportswise, is in the most inept period in sports history. Since 2010, both our major sports teams combined, have 3 playoff appearances, neither which advanced. We may get through the decade without a single playoff victory let alone championship. What they both have in common, simultaneously, is some of the most inept continuous management/coaching tandems, in sports history. This is a dark hole that will take a long time for both teams to get out of. We need good financial management, need to hit on draft picks, and find smart FA acquisitions. All 3 phases have been absolutely horrendous for 10 plus years. I’m not moping... just stating reality. All eyes are on JBot and McBeane...will the 2020’s take us to the promised land?

If we are going to completely build through the draft we are looking at another 3 years (if they work out) and we’d of wasted 6-7 years of Eichel. Clearly we need a trade and at least start making the playoffs.

2-2 here we go

When JBot said he’s not going crazy because he knows we are not one elite player away... I think he knows

On the bright side Luukenen is stoning team USA.

The ROR trade is turning into a disaster... I never liked it from the start. ROR on this team and we have a shot.

I’m not worried about Rasmus. But what is scary, very scary, is how bad our roster is... and the lack of center depth in the organization.

This team is not getting 50 points the second half. They will be lucky to get 35.

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. If not for Ullmark it’s 5-1. When Sobatka is out there the last minute you know the season is going wrong.

I agree he’s been a stud this year

Ullmark the only player tonight.

True but he did get stoned on 2 breakaways last game.

Completely agree... from what I’ve seen “bust” is creeping in. Not to beat a dead horse but that O Reilly trade is looking horrific right now.

I hope there is a plan because honestly looking at it... our roster is bad. Nothing tells me we are a playoff team let alone contender.

And Mitts wide open missed the net...

Ullmark is the only guy that showed up

I feel bad for Ullmark. It feels like we are back to watching last years team sadly.

We went from 12 points up to out of a playoff spot in about 4 weeks... must be some kind of record.

Yup, but maybe for the best? Looking at this line up we have maybe 2 guys total that are true 2 and 3 line guys. Literally No centers besides Eichel. Mitts not even close. I’m scared we are still years away unless JBot can pull off something.

We are simply way overmatched by a true playoff team

This is over

Well Dahlin saved a goal there lol

It stinks Boston, Mtl, and Ny are all hot right now

Dahlin my goodness...

Bad penalty to take there
