Sabres @ Ottawa 7:30 ET, MSG and ESPN+

[Nitro60]

LOVE IT.   Wasting time and not being aggressive.  They gave up two short handed goals.  GEEZ   

[Slack_in_MA]

Brutal.

[triumph_communes]

Seriously send Hutton to the AHL he is AWFUL

[Gatorman0519]

I’ve been a Sabres fan since the 70’s and I loathe this team more than any others save 3-4 guys. Absolutely hate everything about it.

My inner Tarkin was lashing out: You would prefer a more wide open shot? A backhand shot? Then shoot the biscuit! I grow tired of asking this, so it'll be the last time. Why don't you shoot the puck?

Now everyone is going to be all like “this team is garbage, fire everyone!” when after the last game they were all like “we beat the loafs, we can still make the playoffs!”

 

Yes.  Call it 10 years of bad hockey.  

[Cheektorado]

Well that's that, see you guys next season!

[Claude Balls]

7 goals allowed to Ottawa. Doesn't get much worse than that. This team has sunken lower than whale *****.

[French Collection]

Fudge.

I have felt worse cheering for this team 45 years but this is a gut punch.

Thanks TSN, Ottawa with a season high 7 goals.

It's not over yet... it is for me sister!

[Doohicksie]

Now I know I'm being used
That's okay because I like the abuse
I know they're playing with me
That's okay 'cause I've got no self-esteem

 

[Tondas]

Well, we didn't lose ground.  Equivalent of we punted well.

He was bad, but not the reason we lose.  

Did you miss the first period? He was horrible.

[JohnRobertEichel]

Remember when Jeff Skinner had 40 goals and 23 assists in a season? That was awesome.

True.  The fans are damaged.

I just find the predictable extreme reactionary takes funny.

[Tondas]

We've come undun
We found a mountain that was far too high
And when we found out we couldn't fly
It was too late

Guess who sang this?

How the hell does Botteril survive this? Is pegula really going to let him mess up this team even more by having him manage the trade deadline?

I’m not worried about the trade deadline. 
 

I’m worried about having a Bad GM, who has an ultimatum regarding the playoffs next year, making decisions this summer, in what is probably the most crucial offseason in two decades.

I have been a fan since day one and it is the first team where I do not care for any of the players.  Murray and Botterill have wasted a decade and built a team of marginal talent.

Me two.  I hate all the teams starting with the tank team.  Every single team since, and including the tank, have carried a stench.  
 

The expansion teams from the first two season would beat this years team, and then they would beat them up.  

[SwampD]

How does a ref get way with making that call?

Seriously.

They carry the stench of a team that once lost by design, by a plan devised by alleged front office professionals hired by the creator of Hockey Heaven.

At this point I have come to the realization we are a semi permanent bottom feeder and it is not likely to change.

Seriously.

What is the difference?  No penalty, we still do nothing, we pull goalie, and they score.

Semi permanent means you make the playoffs half the time.

Some chance to no chance.

But seriously, WTF did he see to call hooking!?!? it matters.
