Another "not a bad period by the Sabres" where we don't score and come out behind. 

When are moral victories not victories anymore?

Ray “not a bad period”. 
 

Translation “ we are only losing 1-0 “ 

No, as you know ... no matter the score, no matter the scoring chances, no matter the effort, no matter the goaltending ... not a bad period/nice job in that period. ?

[Carmel Corn]

Yet another scoreless period for Buffalo.  They need to shoot vs. pass and hope for a fluke goal to break through.

Kind of feels like now, doesn't it?

You'll all love this... watching the between period interview on NESN, and Brett Ritchie says (paraphrasing) "yeah, we know a lot of them don't like to get hit much, so we started taking it to them". Says all you need to know about this team.

I have no idea how a PP where everybody just stands around like statues instead of moving and drawing the opposing players out of position can be so terrible? Truly one of life's great mysteries.

[Tondas]

This team is bereft:

of talent

of heart

of grit

of paying the price to win

Bereft is the word that came to mind first.

[Cityo'Rasmii]

Solid word. Nice one.

Nobody throws shade on Boston quite like the Buffalo broadcast crew. Ballsy, you gotta hand it to em.

Another phantom call.  Marchand actually grabbed Joki's stick to help pull himself down.  Ref looking straight at it, but imagined the whole thing!

Perfect coaching. Ralph is a genius

[Stoner]

GOTY!

[bob_sauve28]

Woooo!!!! Beautiful!!

[Tondas]

Are we allowed to do that?

[DarthEbriate]

Risto... directly into the goalie ... then into the wide-open net.

[Stoner]

Oh boy.

[Brawndo]

Risto!!

[SABRES 0311]

Thanks Chara. 

[Slack_in_MA]

Love me some greasy goals/

[Thorner]

Larsson made Chara put it in his own net. Should be a good goal
