Same. If you took the score off the screen and let me watch them us banging us imto the boards, I’d guess we were down like 5-0 right now. I just want us to hit 50% as hard as they do.

I’m intrigued by that too. Is it that they are coached not to? Is it the type of players on the roster? Is it a symptom of where they are as a team competitively?

Almost like they added talent between that game and this one while playing a less talented team

It is more than that.  It is attitude and determination.

Nice poke check, Dahlin….

Hitting doesn't mean anything unless you get the puck.

No,  it's literally having more talent

That’s the big question. I think it’s a bit of both. Some guys are just more physical than others, but coaching can certainly make you a more physical team. We’re just soft as cotton candy. I’m pretty sure we’re last in the league in hits by a wide berth. Teams aren’t scared to play us, that’s for sure. If you can’t match them in talent, at least send them to an ice bath after the damn game.

I got a Buffalo specialty food basket for Christmas from my brother and Weber's was in it!

I bought a case last October when I went to a Bills game.  It will hold me until the Fall.

Well, there goes the shut out 

[LGR4GM]

Dell is so bad

[Dreams Burn Down]

So, they're laying us out all over the place.  Eakin takes out one check and a penalty is called.

[HumanSlinky39]

Balls.

I have seen this team with talent and not show up for games. Half the game is mental. 

[Doohicksie]

Snow angel ain't gonna get it done, Dell.

[Thorner]

That dellinquent Eakin cost our GT there 

[HumanSlinky39]

Took you 33+ minutes to score on Dell LOL

[Indabuff]

Dell looked like he just took a bullet flopping around like that

Yep.  Can not argue that point.  At least he gave 30 plus minutes of shut out goal tending.

Ottawa is first in hits per game, clearly they have the secret to success

Sabres are built for a no checking style of hockey. 

[Thorner]

Hits are kinda like passing yards, sometimes. You rack up a lot when you are chasing it

I swear to God I'm watching a different game then some of you
