No resistance. Easy breakout. No one helping the D.

Score. BRYSON scores

No shots on that power play. Too many passes.

Yes. No player has a blocked shot after 2 periods.

This team has trouble with shift changes in the second period. They just cannot keep fresh players out there. They get pinned in and they tire out. They ice the puck a lot, they lose face-offs, and it goes on. A lot of the little things hurt them.

Still thinking about Stevie Nicks

Gilbert? Housley?

Is anyone else tired of Dunleavy and his doom and gloom? Ray too. Stop talking about the two goal lead BS. WTF.

which is why Gilbert gets very limited minutes. He rushed the clear and gave it away.

This Sabres announcer fear of a two goal lead is bizzare. I’ll take two over one anyday. Let’s score and get another two goal lead please.

Too many passes. Because he ducked and turned. He put himself there.

Tanev acting like he has never hit anyone. What a crybaby.

Ray just said “I’m gonna kick the crap out of Bryson”. 😆 Byram liking his Stevie Nicks.

Marty is the better analyst but Ray has a role as the on-ice guy. He is good at that and his humor helps. I would make it a three person team during the game and limit Ray’s input. Also, improve on the Dunleavy PBP. Get a guy that keeps up with the game and has better calls. RJ called the play.

Nice interview Tage. Well done.

The extra two sucks. But Gilbert had to answer.

He is heating up. Keep shooting.

They were good but I’d separate them and play them with Tuch and McLeod. Against a good PP you will need the long reach to take away passing lanes. I think Kozak is going to score today.

Two things so far. I’m surprised the Kracken did not challenge. Lafferty has no celly

Nice. That what I’m talking about.

Good afternoon Teammates, A home game and a Kids Day. I hope they show up. These are the games they should really want to win. They better come out flying.

I am going 4-1 Sabres.

I hear ya. I just don't see that the Pegula era has seriously ever tried to win.

Seriously, you are providing good information but to be 100 % correct don't all the teams (variables) have to be of the same quality? I get that 14 years is along time - in that time period Florida was a bottom feeder (they picked Ekblad 1OA), a Presidents Trophy winner, a Cup winner, and all the points in between. NJD has gone from bottom feeder to contender. Tampa and Boston seemed to be in it every year. Buffalo has been at the bottom every season with only two seasons (the Covid special year and the infamous 91 point season) that they were even in the running in March. So, the inputs to your statistical analysis are not the same. There is no factor for the quality of each team in each year. Not every team is random input, at the start of each season there are teams with much better odds. I bring this up because for most of the 14 years the Sabres have not even been trying to win, so why would they even count as a possibility to win other than random luck?
