Stop blaming the goalie. Watch the game. The 18 skaters sucked. Sure, the first goal is all on UPL. The second goal was pretty much on Ryan Johnson. That is what I mean by Pay Attention. If that was Clifton or EJ, you would have saw it. You can be more creative than blaming the goalie when we get SHUTOUT and DOMINATED. We didn’t get a shot for over 8 minutes to start the game. It could have been 2-0 before the 2nd even started.

Benson showing balls. Dumba picking on the rookie.

2-0. Pay attention.

They play good hockey at home and are ahead of us in points with games in hand. I look at their roster and I see a poor team. They work.

They have ZERO goals and have been outplayed. It’s not on the goalie, even though he gave the puck away. It’s the other 18.

Ugh. Muel

Can’t or won’t play consistently. They had no gas in the tank. Softies. Mentally soft.

Well there you go. 2-0

8 minutes gone, 1 shot. They need to work harder. Sleep later. Get points.

5 minutes gone. No shots.

Lousy start. Get going.

Just watch the game then. I don’t get what you think you’re accomplishing. We will win this one.

What? Benson ?

They have 20 minutes to salvage this game. Tage is being summoned. He really needs to get pissed and get going. It’s there.

Shoot The puck.

Ok, this is a game I hope Tage can breakout in. Mitts woke up yesterday. Tage tonight.

I think Greenway, Robinson, Krebs might be a good line. So much depends on Quinn being healthy. I hope they don’t rush him.

Duffer and Marty pumping up Bandits , trying to connect with Sabres fan base in a roundabout way.

They just showed Granato in a red jacket in the concession area.

Another slow start. They started playing better at the end of the period. Time to get going. I don’t understand why they didn’t come out flying? Too much partying maybe.

It sounds and looks like the Mullet facility is not at the level of LECOM Harbor Center

Good evening Teammates, Punch checking in. I’m late, got the start time wrong. Hope the Sabres aren’t late. Let’s get a W. Muscle Weight

Gallant is tough but he is also known as a players coach. From what I hear, he is harder on management above him than on his players. I do think Berube was tough on his team, but they lost their vet core, and they needed constant prodding. That is usually when the coach runs out of runway. Seems like I see a lot of good former Blues are on other teams (we just saw Barbashev and Peiterangelo last night in Vegas, and we saw Perron and Fabrbri in Detroit last week). Their younger stars like Kyrou and Thomas are not yet at the leadership level of the vets they traded away. There ownership does not want to miss the playoff two years straight. They sent a message, changes are coming. When you think about what the Sabres did with Eichel and Reinhart, you can really understand why their reputation around the league stinks. I also fear it does not happen again to the next group. For the Sabres, I would be very happy if they interviewed Gallant and Berube and Brind'Amour, but I don't see it happening.

Would like to see UPL get the W. I would like to see the Sabres start fast, build a big lead, and play a solid shut down road game to secure the win. No drama tonight boys. Take care of business.
