[JohninMinn.]

When has being a Buffalo fan ever been easy? It's on to Philly. There's no place like away.

[SwampD]

Youth. They get out of their game and let stuff happen.

You're on a PP with a garbage call... You cannot punch someone in the head. The refs are looking for any opportunity to negate the powerplay. Tuch gave them an easy out. And he didn't need to. Irwin was taking himself out of the play trying to give an extra shove... Irwin was making the critical error and allowing a 4-on-3. Tuch was on the dark side of The Concept Of there.

That was beyond stupid.

And what was cozens thinking. I don't even think the puck was there.

He is, but he decided to pop a guy on the PP RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REFEREE.

You must be forgetting the Lehner years

Pretty sure UPL is 0-5 in his last 2 shootouts.

Hope it was worth it to Tuch being a stupid petulant brat and costing us the game and probably our season.

Terrible take on what actually happened and what Tuch has meant to the team.

What are you talking about ? They got a point. Lots of games to go. 
Holy over reaction

Have only 3 losses at most now out of 15 games. Teams above them playing over .500 hockey. We are playing under .500 at home. DOESN'T add up we can get to playoffs with all the losses past two weeks. Stats for the year don't add up to playoffs.

If Gandolf intervenes, who knows?

Rasmus Dahlin is the next C.

I am good either way.

[JustOutsideChicago]

So I guess the NHL does not want this team in the playoffs. There have been some real sketchy calls these last two weeks.

Adams get us a freakin #1 goalie this offseason. And I don't mean from the bargain basement. But I guess that's Uncle Terry's call.

Use the center of the ice to clear it on PKs please 

They had chances to clear on the last PK.  I dont understand why they didn’t. 

[SwampD]

One simple fix would go very far with team. Be ready for the GD pass in the defensive zone.

They are always ready for them when playing O.

So many times tonight they a chance to not only get the puck out, but with speed and numbers and the one guy who needed to get the pass wasn't paying attention.

Well, at least we still have the tiebreaker against Washington.

How do we keep getting GMs that never prioritize Goaltending? 

You mean the one that had a trade in place for Murray, the one that traded for Levi and the one that drafted the top goalie available in 22?

I heard that face-offs don't matter, either.

Tuch is probably our best player overall. Bad play but he is probably frustrated Sabres didn't hold a two goal lead. Should have been able too.

Middlestat still won't shoot

Krebs terrible today

Cozens too many mistakes too, contract was premature, hasn't been that good since signing.

He's been great this season but on a PP late in a must win game HE POPPED AN OPPOSING PLAYER IN THE FACE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REFEREE. You just can't do something like that, it cost us the game.

You are right. 4 points behind the islanders with 2 games in hand.  Time to throw in the towel

I’ll see everyone on the draft thread cause the season is over as of tonight !

Cozens is going to be a star.  He is 21 dude.  
 

The whole team overpassed.  The goalie was terrible and we let him of the hook.

Uncle Terry has been dishing out BIG contracts and seeing nothing back. Play BAD at home, that is where the REVENUE comes from!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch the Bills, rewarding Contracts with Playoffs and at least one win. 14-4 this year. Sabres deserve nothing yet.

Sure Terry will come through though, at some point he will tell Adams what to do!

He is. He's one of the worst shootout goalies I've ever seen. He's made a fool of on every shot.

Would not count this. It was a reach and a bad one.

They have a game at hand with Islanders on the Road but it is down to points, Sabres need 92-94 and the right WINS. That is what doesn't add up. This was a MUST WIN, so is Saturday!

[PromoTheRobot]

I'm all for adopting a chaser on shootouts. This slo mo BS is a joke.
