For as horrible as they've been....  only 7 shots against. It feels like Montreal should have a 16-4 shot advantage.

Probably a good thing Montreal is a bigger tire fire in general than the Sabres this season.

By the looks of it, I would say they were out drinking an hour before game time.

Once, my ice hockey beer league team did a tour of a brewery before a game. I didn't go well, lol 

[Huckleberry]

Yeah think I'll close my computer , not staying up for this 😛

[Believer]

Like what I see with Biro…

Don't punish yourself. Do not worry about the alternate at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the living Concept Of.

Commercials (as seen on ESPN+):

The worst:  stereotypes on very obvious studio sets

The best:  I crack up every time.

4 shots in the first 18 mins?  I think someone needs to light a fire under these guys at the intermission.

St. Louis actually has them playing pretty well. Good old "new coach bump."

[Doohicksie]

Why is Tuch out for Cozens?

[Zamboni]

Was it against the Sens last week? They looked just as bad. 
Chaotic unorganized whirling dervishes.

Eh…. One man’s “new coach bump” is another’s “dead cat bounce.”  
 

[Believer]

Should have shot… Geezus…

[HumanSlinky39]

Even when they get a rush the muck it up.

 

[Gatorman0519]

16 turnovers in the first period according to the Canadians feed. Appalling.

Ralph Krueger was 9-2-1 at one point in his coaching career.

[HumanSlinky39]

Well that period was quite the sludge fart.

[Believer]

Dahlin loves that hip check…

Rob Ray voice: Good Period for the Sabres harrumph harrumph.  
 

Nice hit by Dahlin there at the end.
 

Ooh, Rayzor actually acknowledges the obvious shot show for a change….

*I* love that hip check.

They escaped despite Okposo and Olofsson in carbonite. Now... spin that ship around and go back and rescue Tuch, and get away with a win. Or at least a point.

What’s that got to do with anything? He made the play got the puck to a teammate who promptly gave it away.   What would taken the hit have accomplished? 

Maybe he would have been in position to eliminate the chance (point blank yet again) which is what they were referring to and it makes sense. He bailed and the play happened.
