Every day Don Granato illustrates what an awful coach Ralph Krueger was.

Yes... for "asset protection" ... and nothing else

His rebound control was awful

Still only allowed 3 goals. He deserves some credit. Hutton woulda let at least 7 by him.

[Doohicksie]

I'm hurting from the loss but I'm so proud that this team was able to tie it up and take it to overtime.

[Andrew Amerk]

Hopefully the Sabres are seeing the value of their farm team. 

Fogs was solid with the Amerks this season, and has been solid for the Sabres. Same with Bryson. 

For so many years, we let too many players skip AHL development, to the detriment of those players.

Someone may prove me wrong, but I cannot recall seeing a truly weak goal that Toker has let in.  Seems like he's making the saves he should be and maybe a few that we would not expect him to.

You smell that pleasant air? The Ralph stank is pretty much gone.

[Doohicksie]

Third latest tying goal in Sabres history.

Yes, but there's still a bit lingering on Hall.

 Sabres players were running out of gas yet showed some grit and determination to pull off a tie. Wish we could have went into a shootout. I had a feeling If we could Sabres would win.

[Doohicksie]

The best late tying goal since

True that,lol

Really glad to see Thompson and Mittelstadt to not only get significant minutes, but also get rewarded.

Next time Carter Hutton allows four in 21 shots and somebody says 'but the team', I'd like to hold up career minor leaguer Dustin Tokarski  as exhibit A.

We might be on to something here for backup goaltender

[LGR4GM]

Nope, olofsson sucks. Seriously just send it back to Reinhart or don't cough it up.

Not only did Reinhart put him in a jam, but how long does it take him to realize that VO was battling along the boards and he was the player furthest away from the play before he moved? He was just standing there. Watching. 

[Nitro60]

The Sabres in the past three games have improve a lot.  Shaking off the RK aura.  When healthy they will be fun to watch.

[Kruppstahl]

We were thoroughly out played for most of this one, but the Rangers weren't converting their chances and it kept us in it.

Learned it from Hall on Monday.

Uh, The 3 Game Point Streak Buffalo Sabres

I am in Buffalo and missed the game.  Just running around visiting.  Sounds like they did good just to get a point.  I’ll take it.  
 

The Rangers are hot, we are in back to back.  Granato doing well without Eichel and Cozens.

Looks like Reinhart expected to get the puck tapped back in deep to him along the boards and it got Ofed to me SDS

What did he do when he didn’t get the puck back?
