"The Montreal loss was surely terrible but the key for it is to only be one game. #Sabres are right there in the mushy middle with everyone else. There are 15 teams with 13-16 points. Get over it, and go to California with wins over St. Louis and Philly." -Mike Harrington on X
Or a fan? What else could I be? I am thinking about posting on Twitter/X because this place is too negative. Twitter/X is even more positive about the Sabres than this place, and Twitter/X isn't exactly the most positive place in the world.
Are you talking about Montreal, because the Sabres aren't a bad team. They just beat Ottawa, Calgary, and the NYR in three straight games. None of those teams are bad teams.
A team that just beat Ottawa, Calgary, and the Rangers is not going to get rattled by a bad loss. The locker room knows they have a good team, and Cozens is starting to play well.
If you have two guys injured and give up 7 goals (last 4 games they gave up a combined total of 6) they likely were a tired team. No excuse for losing, but fatigue explains a lot.
