It’s obvious the team has quit.  They just don’t care anymore.  

And it's comical that some out there reprimand fans for giving up on the team.  This team deserves the criticism.

Agree on talent.  But a GM needs to build a team suited for the NHL environment at the time.    So far JBOT has failed.

I think he's doing a great job building a team to win in the Swedish Elite league ?!

[Thorner]

I can't believe we are getting outplayed by the wings. We are bad, but also have clearly given up trying our hardest. 

[Pimlach]

Skinner just got a 35 second shift with a ERod and Lazar.  I don’t know if he will ever score again with that kind of utilization.  

[Tondas]

So we punted well and our uniforms are nice.  Anything I missed?

No Sabres playing in that dirty slot area - ever.

No hitting, no skating hard, the shots are all wide, no traffic in front, no effort ... Sheary - ERod - Vessey    That is a line.  What a joke. 

I keep seeing Vesey on a line with Eichel and Samson. 

Seems to be working out well.

We got a participation certificate and get to draft again next year?

Skinner has been bad, but because it's never possibly as bad as how Botterill handled him, I just drift back to the GM again. How someone as supposedly smart as Botterill could allow that situation to fester is beyond me.

For the most interesting man in the world its better to have 4 lines that can’t score than have one line that can score in bunches.

I think Joker’s game is slipping and I don’t know why.  

[Nitro60]

 I thought 4 on 4 was the best opportunity for them to score tonight.  Miller shoots right into the goalies mid section when the far left was open .

[Brawndo]

VESEY

[bob_sauve28]

Yes! Jimmy!! 

[Tondas]

Hoo frickin' ray!

[Scottysabres]

Oh look, a thing happened...……...

[Stoner]

Jimmy's not threatened by the red light.

[Slack_in_MA]

There will be no shutout!

This I would think is inexperience. He's a puck-moving D and doesn't have an older experienced protector to rely on (think Tallinder for Myers). This is the most games he's ever played in a season...  probably getting worn down a bit.

Yes, Vesey is getting an A on his sweater.

[Thorner]

There it is. Jimmy strikes. Our hero. 

[Pimlach]

If you go to the net you can score, even if you are Vessey.

I hope Skinner gets one tonight 

[Beer]

Hooray
