OKIE-DOKIE!!!

[Doohicksie]

Huzzah!

[Zamboni]

Besides that goal, UPL had a strong period. Sabres need to tighten up the D and create more O.

beauty goal by KO 

[TheAud]

Okposo being interfered with (no call) and fights through it and cashes.

Love seeing flashes of the younger Kyle sometimes.

Sabres were out muscled for the puck.

Weak on wall -  Cozens.  

Weak on stick - Power 

 

No.  

He needs to make those saves 

[North Buffalo]

TG for KO

[Gatorman0519]

Have to turn it up a notch. Other than the end that was terrible.

UPL huge save after3 straight Sabres turnovers. 

We need someone to coach defense. We can't be this bad can we?

[DarthEbriate]

Should've been a holding the stick penalty. And one reason why I wish scoring before the whistle on a delayed penalty didn't negate a PP opportunity. Good shot, Dad Kposobi!

At one point the Sabres were outshooting the Flyers 3-0 (and maybe 4-0?) and then it was 14-4 Philly. Sabres are extremely fortunate to get out of the first with a tie.

Goes to say the 5 guys in front need to do something.

I'm not disputing that but that's been the case the majority of the year and he had a clear view. It was a shot that should have been saved.

[Pimlach]

That was a terrible effort. 

Could have been 3-0 Philly.   

You guys blaming UPL for that goal are being clowns.  

They better wake up.  They play like they are afraid of Philly.  They just don’t get physically involved with them. 

[Scottysabres]

So, the Philadelphia Flyshits are deploying the typical heavy game against the Sabres. Can we get a pure ass kicker on this team to dress for games like this? Someone who can straight out cave skulls?

[Believer]

Boom… Okposo… Captain, My Captain… Worked for that shot… Leadership by example

[Contempt]

You don't really get an appreciation for how terrible the defense is and how pillow soft the team is until you see them in person. Absolutely shameful.

He goes down early and is bad when you make him move laterally.

You can say that about any shot.  My God the Sabres were terrible in front of him.

What are they afraid of? Not having a chance to make the playoffs? Get out there and win the puck battle. Big deal if you get hit, or punched, or hauled down and draw a penalty (or not). Outwork them because they're going home for the summer already.

So Jokiharu talking smack to Delo didn't do anything for you? Yeah, me neither. Delo would murder him.

If the team is flat for THIS game they deserve to miss the playoffs.

And here we are, outshot by 10 in the first period.

I don’t necessarily disagree but the Flyers were in the Sabres zone double the amount of time. Horrible defense is going to done this team

[Believer]

Flyers dominated the neutral zone… Too many rushes past flat footed Sabres

Nonsense.  The Flyers had 30 shot attempts and only 1 goal.  We are lucky with that.  The friggen team has to play better.  We are lucky it’s 1-1.  They are all over us.

Meanwhile, their goalie has only a .800 Sv%.

 

SHOOT THE PUCK GUYS!

[LGR4GM]

What if, and I'm just spitballing here, we played better?
