GDT 2/26/20 Sabres at Colorado 8pm ET, NBCSN and WGR550

[Randall Flagg]

Hoping the Johansson play behind the net only LOOKED like a penalty. Because I hate feeling like opportunities were stolen.

There are no excuses. They've had plenty of opportunities, I've seen 3 open net opportunities this period. They don't score, that is on the players.

Correct.  Have to learn to win when the other team gives you several chances.

Dropped 2 to Toronto.  Oloffson Just was bad tonight.  He missed about 4 glorious opportunities.  Good to see the fire though.  Good game.  Expected outcome. Not good enough yet. 

How was Olofsson bad tonight? what on earth are u talking about, there is a big difference between missing your chances and beeing bad. 

[Claude Balls]

E-rod sighting

[7+6=13]

I feel like I was also excellent tonight.

[Second Line Center]

Best Sabres loss I've seen in 10 years. 

Based on where they've been...where they're at...and who they played.  

Keep playing like this please.  

[SwampD]

Great hockey game.

If Olofsson hits two open nets it’s a different game.

How the ref doesn’t raise his arm only eight feet away from Johansson getting tackled, I will never understand.

Thank god we get to appreciate our servicemen again, cuz we don’t get enough opportunities to do that.

[LGR4GM]

The glaring hole at 2c is brutal. Skinner is neutered. Olofsson good ***** lord. Hutton, uhg. Miller, you've been better.

Clearly eichel has a nagging injury. 

Deeply disappointed for 4 months botterill did nothing to get this team that it needs.

If VO could finish 5v5 the Sabres win this game no doubt.

If Olofsson can learn to finish he would be very dangerous.

Dahlin got worked, Eichel lost his man, Hutton gambled and lost, and Miller left his man, but it’s Reinhart’s fault?

Did PerreaultForever hijack your account?

He had his back turned to the play.  Watch it!

Agree with your point, but we absolutely earned our chances.

Hopefully this is a wake-up call to move Skinner up, but we all know that's never going to happen. 

[Andrew Amerk]

It’s too bad that an excellent effort gets nullified by bad calls and missed calls.

Like what does this even mean? They weren't given chances, they earned them. Learn to win? It's just cliche bs.

When you miss 3-4 glorious chances in a close game that was the difference.  Got to bury those.  

[thewookie1]

The fact they called that hook on Montour but not the trip on Johansson was absurd.

Additionally Colorado got away with a hold on Eichel on the Compher goal.

 

We did great, yet somehow still ended up on the bad side of the results.

Our top 6 isn't giving us anything. 

[Tondas]

I'm encouraged and depressed at the same time.  Life of a Sabres fan.

I did. Reinhart is responsible for the man in the high slot, that's who he's covering. He literally turns to check his coverage as the puck goes behind the net. But sure blame him for not leaving his assignment during the .5 seconds it took for that pass to come across. ***** joke. 

[dudacek]

Don’t get the VO hate tonight.

Didnt see anybody else getting those kind of chances. 

[Claude Balls]

Sheary sighting. He's starting the game on Crosby's line. He'll prolly net a hat trick tonight.

[jad1]

Good effort; tough loss.  They need to win on Friday.  Can't lose two in a row and stay in the race.

Yea wish he wasnt a rookie with 19 goals right, ur just way wrong here. Olofsson was fkn great tonight, sometimes u miss and thats it. he is no robot.
Saying olofsson was just bad makes me believe u dont know what ur talking about.
