I agree with everything except Joker was god-awful tonight. A turnover machine who was mostly responsible for Goal #2 against. I nthat last PK he tried to give a goal away by clearing right to the Flyer in front instead of clearing it down the ice.

Levi will play Tuesday. We were so awful with turnovers tonight - my guess is the sh*tty ice surface led to at least some of this

I think he's referencing the Jack who has 8 less goals and 4 less assists this year than Tuch. For you keeping score at home, that means the Masshole has 12 less points than Tuch this season (and I'm not even bringing up Krebs, Östlund and Greenway - who we traded the 2nd we got from LV from)

Joker just sucks to me - replacement level player who makes too many defensive mistakes/turnovers and is a 0 offensively. I would like to see 2 Dmen added this offseason with him gone: 26 23 25 traded for 46 traded for reserves: 10, 62 (or please one), Stillman

No Hart is a big thing for us

UPL is playing for his future just a bit. He saw the future last night and if he wants to be the future Sabres back up.....show up tonight

you nailed the logic - unless he struggles badly in the last 5 games he plays in this year he will never play in a game in Rochester

Yep, but if you watch the game recaps, our goalie (Anderson) in those 2 games was very bad - he gave us no chance whatsoever: March 17 game - we outshot them 38-22 but Anderson allowed 5 goals on 22 shots for a sterling sav% of .773, possibly his worst game of the year Jan 9 game - Anderson gives up 3 goals in the 1st and we mail it in from there. we're outshot 31-26 but again not Anderson's best moment

Stillman will make a fine 7th or 8th next year; i don't need to see Bryson every again. Dahlin/Sammy Power/trade Joker/Boosh Stillman/anybody not named Bryson Johnson in Rochester

Guessing one of our EHL level goalies tonight (prob UPL) nd definitely Levi Tuesday. Too bad as (a) Levi is used to btb's and (b) if we win tonight and PIT loses to BOS, things get a whole lot more interesting. I'm worried about both outcomes cuz we have sucked vs PHI this year and Boston may have a letdown tonight after clinching the Presidents trophy. Granted, if the playoffs started today, BOS would play PIT so maybe that will motivate them?

Okay - why?

Portillo knew.... portillo saw his future in Buffalo....Portillo knew

I was thinking the same thing

RAe standards for goalies are still too low. Goals 1 and 2 by Comrie were garbage and when he has a chance to close out the game, he basically scores on himself. BTW, do the sabres even practice penalty shots, we score on one which is a total mistake and the other 5 weren't even close - pretty pathetic. Oh and f*ck the refs - that call in OT was ridiculously bad - they ignore real penalties and make up a call on Krebs

or if we don't want to sh*t on him in one of his and the team's best efforts this season...he certainly built up his extension case in today's game

and the 4,000 fans in the stands boo the team off the ice

Yep our 3 NHL goalies: 1. A geriatric who has nothing left 2. A guy who's ranked 68th out of 68 goalies who KA thought was a good one to sign to be a #1 NHl goalie 3. a big lug with no angle control, no rebound control was lousy in the EHL, lousy in the AHL why would he be less than lousy in the NHL? I read a stat today that in the Boston 7-0 loss, Boston scored on 4 of 8 high chance shots (apparently UPL also got scored on 3 time on non high chance shots) while Buffalo went 0-8. Buffalo also outshot Boston by 1. Every game it's like we start down 3 goals due to the difference in goaltending. Saros vs Anderson is a joke

Is Jost sitting due to injury or for trying too hard and overchieving?

UPL isn't an NHL goalie and never will be. goal off chest was bad but so was the 4th goal. He's on his knees with a bad angle to Wilson, for no reason whatsoever. All he has to do is stay on his feet and the shot hits him in the chest. Needed a save there nad, per usual he failed

Did you seriously watch the game? UPL is the sole reason it wasn't 7-2. winning goal was garbage - not sure why it would count and 2nd goal was caused by a stupid giveaway by Klague compounded by Klague deciding to vacate his responsibilities in front of his own not. The D we are starting is a direct implication of KA ignoring d at the trade deadline. He desperately needed to make a trade for an NHL dman but didn't. Stillman is a good AHL one and it's not like trading for one would have blocked any D prospects

Yep - he was the sole reason the 2nd goal went in cuz of his screen. he also forechecked well. Blaming Greenway for this loss is a serious stretch, he was about 15th on the list Start with Klague, go to the tage line then transition to Joker and Bryson - thee are the main problems tonight

He seems to be getting a pass but Anderson absolutely has to save that weak 3rd goal. 12 minutes left, game tied, a relatively weak 5 hole shot needs to be saved, mcDavid or not. 1st goal was unlucky but he did score on himself. Skinner outplayed Anderson

He wasn't the problem nor was he the solution, he was just present

Bryson -20 on the season. Jokiyaru is also really bad if you watch him enough - contributes less than 0 offensively, is small and doesn't, turns the puck over a ton. We really have 2 defenseman on the ice, granted those 2 are a great start. Samuelsson could be argued but he hasn't been good this year. #46 is decent.

KA MAKE A G*D DAMN F*CKING TRADE. SHOW THE ROOM SOMETHING FTLOG
