They should have given KO some games off through out the year.   Looks old and slow now 

Honestly I can't see bringing him back. He's cooked.

Ooh.  Aah.  Sabres on the golf course.

LOL. maybe if the ponds on the course are frozen over, they could play a bit of golf ball hockey over there

Someone needs to smack Frédéric around. Too bad the Sabres have no one to do that. Dahlin is kinda like Risto in that spot. He'll agitate, but won't drop the gloves. 

I'd prefer Dahlin not have to and somebody else step in there.

Number of posts about goaltending in this thread from puck drop until the end of the first period, not including posts quoted by Promo The Robot or posts by Promo The Robot: 16
Number of posts in this thread in that time span: 140

Is that unreasonable somehow? Go back to the start of this game. There are dozens of posts, two mention that UPL sucked on the first goal. You immediately jumped in and quote tweeted BOTH OF THEM, talking as if they represented the state of the whole thread at the time, and the next 20 posts about goaltending were solely responding to you, you started all of it and kept it going. It is so clear what's going on when you aren't in the heat of it, go back and read from the beginning. You were laying in wait and were always going to jump on anyone who wanted to say something on the subject. You were already dialed up to 10, instantly ready to pounce the first time anyone said anything. 

Promo, THIS is what a crusade looks like, not 16 people out of 140 mentioning the goalie, one of 6 players on the ice 

Unbelievable

There is no way they can pull him for anderson.  It’s UPL for a full 60 

Why not?  Because Anderson played 36 hours ago?  If that's the case, then Adyms and Granato both are to blame.

[Thorner]

Tuch teams don’t quit 

[K-9]

😂😂😂😂

[Gatorman0519]

4-0 

[Carmel Corn]

Maybe 2 SOG's this period....but the B's have only 3....make that 4

[Thorner]

Or maybe this isn’t quitting?

who freaking cares 

we are awful 

[Claude Balls]

Boy UPL overplayed that one. I gotta get in on the hate too. 

[Gatorman0519]

The defensive awareness truly is nonexistent. 

[Stads]

How is someone always alone in front of our net??

[Thorner]

What an awful finish to the season

Bruins announcers are obnoxious however the intermission gang did a good job of breaking down the Bruins goals

basics :

Starting line  wasn’t ready and the bruins took advantage   Everyone was puck watching 

Sabres defensive structure is non existent

 

 

 

They also said “Buffalo, you’re only six points out of a playoff spot! Where’s the emotion?”

[Carmel Corn]

Defense watching another player come right up the slot to score....I blame coaching

What about Greenway?

Reality check here. We know this team is the youngest team in the league and shows its inexperience and inconsistency on many nights. It's been an exciting team this year -- until playoff hockey started. On a yearly basis, this is the time of year when the best teams tighten up, batten down the hatches and don't play pond hockey anymore. A good comparison last year was the type of year Quinn was having with the Amerks, but when the playoffs started, he was just shut down. Lots of our guys can't tolerate playoff hockey. We're just too weak and inexperienced and don't have the goaltending, defense or coaching to compete with this different and non-forgiving brand of hockey.

This collapse at the end, especially with the tougher back-loaded schedule, was all too predictable.

Then its a good thing they won't attempt to make the playoffs until we are ready to be a dynasty and are cup favorites.

At this time of year, the best teams & teams in contention for the playoffs also have a confidence boost because their management showed faith by making some moves to improve their teams and get them what they need for a playoff push........

It's about time someone noticed this, i've been thinking it all  year but nobody ever mentions it! 

[Ross Rhea]

It is so easy to play against Buffalo I think a college team could probably score 2 or 3 against them.

[Sidc3000]

Hahahahaha

GREAT DEVELOPING HAPPENING HERE

[Huckleberry]

Yeah throwing in the towel myself now.   Back to work is a better idea 🙂
