There won't be any trades because "the answers are in the room." God help us.

Surely they can't lose to the lowly Sharks, right? RIGHT???

I don't know, but somebody besides Kevyn Adams who is in year FIVE with a roster of his own creation showing zero forward progress. The law of averages says eventually they have to luck into someone semi-competent, right? Right??? I mean, even the Cleveland Clowns managed to make the playoffs a couple of times this decade and they were arguably the worst run franchise in professional sports for almost two decades with an owner just as bad, if not worse than Terry Pegula.

This is the fifth losing streak of 3 or more this season, including the fatal 13 game slide. Strangely enough, they've also had five winning streaks of 3 or more this season, but just one reached 4 games. Whereas last season seemed like it was W-L-W-L-W-L right down the line, this year's team seems like one of streaks. Essentially they're a roughly .500 squad again that was sunk by a sustained spiral that wiped out their season pretty early on. No real signs of progress, just an extended malaise. A serious hockey organization would choose to move on from the GM responsible, but I do not think this is a serious hockey organization. They'll likely play the "youngest team in hockey" card AGAIN this spring and run it back despite zero indication of forward progress. Youth isn't an excuse if the arrow is pointing upward. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Stop disappearing for entire periods and it doesn't come to that.

I can't recall one. Seems like we've given up more than our share of ENG's, too, so this is a pleasant surprise

Shut up, dummy DAHLIN

Empty net. I'm sure this will go swell.

Sabres penalty. Le Sigh.

Buncha guys just standing around on the power play. Ridiculous. Seriously, can we just decline power plays?

Sabres power play

Dahlin...curveball...bats afraid

TNT BLAST

FINALLY MOTHERTUCHER

Lots of great opportunities this period, not a damn thing to show for it. A good team has 2-3.

This is lousy. I might tap out for the third.

Sounds like a fun night ahead. We had to put our havanese on a probiotic because the little *****'s constant sulfur farts were just too much

Sabres power play is like Pedro Cerrano trying to hit a curbeball

Sabres power play

JFC, Montembault almost burnt them like toast.

We are so, so bad at breakaways and odd man rushes.

That's future HC Seth Appert!

Two word review for that period - ***** sandwich

Sabres highlights now feature "finishing a check." Rad.
