Don and Kevyn engineered a feat to get the train back on the tracks, are proud of themselves for doing so. They seem to think it will drive itself just fine from here. I'm two cabins from the back and starting to hear ominous sounds below.

That’s just promo beating the Comrie drum

If the Sabres don’t fix their defense then you can keep hoping to see the forest but all you’re staring at is trees

Enjoy your negativity. I know there is work to do, but you & your compatriots are missing out on the positives. 
 

You all will be all yelling from the rooftops when Sabres get really good (1-2 yrs.). Many of us are keeping receipts.

Let's pump the brakes on all the gloom and doom.    A young team had an off night, and combined with brutal goaltending you get games like this.

With an average NHL goalie it's still prolly a 6-4 game, but the optics of the 10 spot are certainly not going to resonate well with the fanbase.

That said, do better.

When the games started to matter most, the past 10 days, the Sabres have responded by losing 5 of their last 6. The moment was too big for this team, which isn’t totally unexpected honestly. It isn’t just tonight for doom and gloom, it’s the last 10 days.

Kyle just said that their tired. Isn't that just awesome!! Wonder why other teams aren't tired?

So are we Kyle.  So are we.   
 

The Bills were tired to.  But they had a teammate die on the field 3 weeks before their season ended.   They could probably use that explanation.  
 

I’d rather hear our captain say “yea I think unfortunately we may have accepted the math and the odds and believe we’re done.”

A train will kind of drive itself, this feels more like a plane.

The Sabres were seen moving through the 716 parking garage like a herd of heffers, screaming "come on boys, Mittsy fired up the console"......

WTF is that? Some nerd deciding what's "expected?"

It does what you would complain things like save percentage don't do. It does about as well as quantifying can do in describing goaltending. 

Where did the shot come from, what type was it, was it screened? what is the league average save percentage in that spot on the ice in those conditions? Aggregate that number for the shots a goalie faced in a game, there's what you get. 

It tells you the same thing the eye test does - elite goalies are elite, good goalies are good, and our goalies are horrendous.

Donny's pressers are about as useless as Ralph Kruger's.  I'd rather see him react like Torts or something after this one.  He is simply too protective of his players, his coaches, etc.  

Ever notice he doesn't talk much about X's and O's, but rather "feelings"?  Maybe he doesn't know as much as we hope?1

Great point. I kinda feel sorry for him. He's in way over.

Expand  

No. He's not. The kids are just shot. It's not hard to see

I don't recall seeing a team with this bad of defensive structure.  That is on coaching.

Expand  

Yes. They are teaching that. C'mon.

It's a good stat. Unfortunately, it's an average, and Comrie's 5ish above that average is what makes the that average what it is.
