don't forget the awful special teams

Well, had we had 3 PPs or 1 PK we likely win

Veteran team knew how to finish. Sabres had plenty of chances in OT. Couldn’t finish. 

Is there a club where y'all meet after losses? Or?

Everyone complaining about UPL but that last goal, Tuch has to know that it's three on three and you can't let Stamkos walk into the slot alone. Perfect shot by a hall of famer.

[Indabuff]

Caught in a landslide,  no escape from reality.

not a poor result against TB, to be fair, on most nights. Snatching 1 point from the Jaws of 2 sucks but, not the worst outcome 

[JoeSchmoe]

5 seasons in the AHL and kkkkkk is sub .900 on his career.

Tampa was dynamite on the PP and got 2 goals on their first 4 shots. If the refs call some "balance it out" calls, maybe the Sabres close them out. But the Sabres got a point and Tampa needed every ounce of energy and luck to get the game to overtime where it's a crapshoot. That's hockey.

You’re too kind.  The officiating was lopsided.

I'd get rid of 6K or whatever his nickname is this week. He's unreliable. 

For a big guy, he does leave a lot of space on the last two goals.

Tuch had a poor game

[7+6=13]

Sabres showed me a lot of good tonight and TB knows its not a coast game in Buffalo anymore.

I agree with those calls, but why weren't they calling the hooks and slashes I saw Tampa players doing all night!!

That is the appropriate question, rather than the folks complaining about the calls made on the Sabres.

Yes. It’s called The Aud Club.

Duuuuuhhhhhh!

[Claude Balls]

Don't get down, I'm sure KA is working on a trade for a #1 NHL goalie in his prime. 

 

 

🤣🤣🤣

[Goldseatsaud]

After watching this UPL is a joke

[bunomatic]

Another hit in the crease for Rasmus where he drove the player into his own netminder then he Rasdahls the perpetrator. Gonna put out another goaltender Ras. Overall an enjoyable game but then the officials got involved. Still having trouble seeing the mules transgression ? They called it hooking but...

In Tuch's defence it wasn't a "dream come true" game, or whatever

Lol. Have you heard of a mirror?

[North Buffalo]

Well that was disappointing cant let Stamkos have that shot... Also why didnt DG let Peterka and Quinn have a shift towards the end...??

I also think we didn’t get Tampa’s best effort,… because they didn’t need it.

We got their B goalie who played like a B goalie, that's for sure. Oddly enough, Elliot doesn't usually play that way against us

Our scoring is certainly improving 

[rickshaw]

That hurt. I turned it on at 5-3. This team needs to learn how to close it out. Both games against TB we were in it with 5 to go. 3-3 ended 5-3. 5-3 ended up 6-5.

And until we do close them out, TB won’t have that fear. They knew it wasn’t over at 5-3. And giving a goal back just 16 secs later was the killer.

Buffalo needs a star goalie to succeed. These rookies, cheap pickups and old geezers is not a winning formula.

Yes Buffalo could use help in goal. Who are the rookies, cheap pickups and old geezers who are playing?
