No Risto in the shootout is so terrible.

 

Vintage Vanek.

[Iron Crotch]

And, another OT loss due to our complete inability to score.   :(

[Brawndo]

Lehner sucks at Shootouts 

[CallawaySabres]

Two things to say

 

Kane sucks

Girgensons sucks worse

[darksabre]

Fire Bylsma now

[LGR4GM]

Fire Bylsma. This is ridiculous.

[JJFIVEOH]

I've had about enough of this coach. This is nauseating. 

[Randall Flagg]

Lehner's inability to stop shootout shots is quickly becoming the most pathetic display of athletics at a professional level I've ever seen in my life. It's unbelievable. Has he saved a shootout attempt this season? 

[MODO Hockey]

Lehner is really so utterly bad at shootouts, why does db not switch to nilsson, when will he learn.

[LGR4GM]

But we got a point... yea well eat a dick Danny boy. Your system sucks and you couldn't coach a shootout if your life was at stake

[Iron Crotch]

We're the only team in the NHL averaging fewer than 2 goals scored per game.

[Claude Balls]

If we win I'm rewarding my Sabres watching loyalty with a bottle of fine scotch.

If we lose I rewarding my Sabres watching loyalty with even a finer bottle of scotch.

You're gonna need rehab before this season is over, lol.

[qwksndmonster]

Bylsma is such a terrible coach.

[LGR4GM]

Lehner is really so utterly bad at shootouts, why does db not switch to nilsson, when will he learn.

Because Bylsma so

If the team in front of him didn't suck so badly, he wouldn't have to blow it in shootouts

[WanderingEye]

Vanek's wacky shootout move still works like a decade later

[darksabre]

I don't give a about shootouts. I'd like this team to look like it has any kind of plan during 3 on 3 OT. Ted Nolan might as well be out there shouting "try harder!"

[WildCard]

To the fire Byslma thread!

Good grief

 

 

But hay, look on the bright side, I'm getting a bottle of 12 year old McCallan.

[DarthEbriate]

This game should never have gotten to overtime. Howard was very good but didn't make otherworldly saves. Instead we hit posts and missed nets and played to get to overtime in the third.

Can't give away points like this.

 

And with that... a happy Thanksgiving to you all. Let's hope that we're soon thankful for a nearly fully healthy roster.

Did not know that.  That is really hard to do in today's NHL.

[qwksndmonster]

His move of being an incredibly talented sniper? Ja

[Randall Flagg]

Right - the loss is not on Robin. I'm not mad at him at all. I can't fathom how he could be that bad at a part of his job. It's really unacceptable. It's on him and the staff to get him at least able to stop one single shot at some point this season. 

 

Well, we're only missing one forward now, and still could only score the wackiest goal that probably shouldn't have counted, and nothing else. Bylsma's system is useless, and we saw two chicken- coaches trying to get a point tonight. But we can't settle for a point, because we don't have a goalie who can get the other. 

 

ROR roving through the slot was legitimately the first time I've seen a Sabre regularly occupy that space since before he was hurt. 

 

It stings to not get that win, because there's no way we see .500 in Washington. Back to setting ourselves back another two weeks because this team has no idea how to win a game it needs to win. It has no idea how to transition to being relevant in the NHL. 

[CallawaySabres]

Does Toronto ever score less than 5 goals?!

[Claude Balls]

I'm starting to think the only thing this team practices on is passing and nothing else. They can never finish a play, they can never pick a corner when having a clear shot, the shots always seem to hit the goalie without him having to move, and these guys are all terrible on breakaways. Very frustrating.
