This is actually reminiscent of our effort against the Bolts two games ago.  In both games, we were simply overwhelmed by talent and team speed. Also, we were grossly outworked.  Being outworked is the most worrisome thing IMHO.

When Jankowski and Hayden stand out as being your spark plugs it's not because they are the most talented, but the only ones that tried.

 Not to much by our talented ones this game except Tage. He tried. Just not the rest of his line.

Guess the Sabres wanted to get this over with so they could go watch the Bills or something cause that was a sad excuse for a hockey game. 

Total lack of effort and the exact same problem areas. No net front presence on our PP and no control of the front on theirs. Dahlin seems to struggle more in faster games, like this one. Horrible hockey game, if you can call it that.

Didn't like the Tuch, Tage, Skinner line. No chemistry there. I'm starting to wonder about a lot of Granato's combinations lately. Seems like he's just tossing into a blender to see what happens. Guess that's what a tank gets you.

Can’t score goals if you don’t shoot… Can’t score on rebounds if you don’t shoot… Seen this tendency now for too many games…

One of Gene Hackman's finest roles; and he's had some great ones.

Hahaha… Good post… Thanks… Not sure Granato has any Hackman in him… but he sure likes to pass…

This was him at his best.  A lot better than Superman.

You can either watch a hockey game or a about 100 tv commercials in between some action. 

 

Go Sabres, I can tune into the commercials to see if I can catch some football in between the ads 

you missed a lot of good commercials...there was some ok football between the ads too

You still thinking about me? Pathetic. Hope you enjoyed your game buddy 

[Eleven]

Can we talk about Asplund on that four minute penalty?  I feel like he played out of this world, until he ran out of gas.

[LabattBlue]

You think the Pegula’s even checked on the Sabres score last night? 😂

[PromoTheRobot]

So I guess I didn't miss much, huh? I was at the Bills game. I have a theory there is only so much winning juju to go around the local teams and Bills used it all up last night. #PerfectGame

How did you handle the cold? I'm not trying to be funny but did the mass of exuberant people generate its own heat? Or did many within the masses resort to going to the flask for medicinal warmth?

[Taro T]

"Watched" the 2nd & 3rd periods after the Bills perfect offensive game & still not sure what colors Detroit & Buffalo were wearing much less how they played as poorly as the comments make it "sound."

What a football game.

Yes, I am the ghost formerly known as Doohickie.

As I explained to Spoonman on the phone earlier today:  You remember a couple of infamous Sabrespace posters, Yuri Olesha and @Ghost of Dwight Drane, right?  I was playing around in September or October and for some strange reason decided to change my username to a portmanteau of the two: @The Ghost of Yuri.  Nova Scotia (NS) noticed and changed his name to @The Ghost of Doohickie.  Andrew Amerk also noticed and changed his name to @The Ghost of NS.  My dream was that all Sabrespacers would pick up on this and become Ghosts.  (Ghost of Andrew Amerk would be next up.)  But it lost momentum and it's just the three of us.

The downside of the whole thing is that when you change your screen name, you can't change it again for six months so you're stuck with us.  For now.

When the 6 month sentence is up I plan on returning in a spectacularly spectacular fashion ... be prepared to be spectacularated, eh!!

I think those words are spectacularly goodly.

Let's see if he goes back to Cozens on that line, given how well they played the other night?

I wore 2 layers of pants tucked into 2 pairs of socks, snow pants over those. 2 thick hoodies over a long sleeve t over a short sleeve T with a a jacket over that. Stuck a handwarmer in each boot next to my toes, and had one in each of my mittens. Wore a beanie and a gator for my neck/face. Between the layers and the energy from the field/crowd, didn’t even feel cold.

You and all on this list (you know who you are) who went to that game in that cold are some tough and hearty folks.  I raise a glass to you all.

[Wyldnwoody44]

I found it to be toasty by the end of the game. There was def heat being generated by one of the all time best games I'll ever see live. 

The multiple layers helped a lot. 

I didn't realize until this morning That the Sabres even played last night. 

[Huckleberry]

Was tired, decided not to stay up and not regretting it 🙂

No flasks but yes, warm people. With lots of hand warmers I got through it.

I dedicated the whole evening yesterday to the Bills.  That included post game texting and streaming WGR radio.  Glad I did. The Bills were superb.  In fact, on offense they were perfect.  What a treat.  

 

The Sabres just played a strong game against a better much Nashville team, then they go out and stink it up in Detroit and get shut out.   I just don't get the uneven performances.  Detroit is a team they can catch next season, they better start working on it.

Quinn had a hatty yesterday. At least the prospects did better lol.
