This defense feels like when you're just playing street with no strategy and just ragtag-ing it

[Pimlach]

Detroit has 3 goals that the Sabres deflected in. That is puck luck.

Hey if we get all our bad luck now then we'll be fine in the playoffs!! (big if)

[Gatorman0519]

Doesn’t matter how good your goalie is when your team can’t play defense. Need to turn that around. Wasting a good offense.

Let’s hope it doesn’t take 3-4 seasons for the Sabres to find actual competent asst coaches that know how to fix the PK. It’s cost us numerous games and a playoff spot this year and will continue to until it’s properly coached and addressed.

Lose this game and Sabres are done like dinner.  All other teams winning

[matter2003]

Just two brutal goals to allow within 50 seconds of each other. This team is determined to single handedly prove the old adage that no lead is ever safe.

They already are done for all intensive purposes. The Florida game was it. Would need to basically win out. Not happening. Playing for next year now.

The goalie has not been perfect either.  Detroit has been lucky tonight.

Can somebody on the coaching staff PLEASE tell the team to stop deflecting the mother blanking puck.  Just let Levi stop it.  You don't have to try to stop it for him.

That's Power's 4th point of the night.  3A's for the good guys and 1G for the bad guys.

Boys will see in intermission that the Panthers and Penguins are winning.  They got to focus and just play for a win.

Levi is playing well, and the team needs to play these last games out.

[Slack_in_MA]

Puck luck aside, I’m not particularly impressed with our offense the last half of that period.

In my heart (and brain actually) I'm gonna keep on thinking that we're somehow gonna make it until we mathematically cannot

setting up myself for disappointment perhaps? good thing I don't follow those betting ads that they love LOL :D

It was so far offline he was just trying to get out of the way of it, I think. He wasn’t trying to block it.

Should be great 3rd period… Two fast teams… Lot of open space… Want to see us clear the net area better for Levi… 

No stupid penalties

Play for it all… like a SC Game 7 final…

Can we at least be eliminated before we talk about looking at prospects??? 
 

We have to win the 3rd period and get to the next game.  I could care less about seeing a prospect.  I want to win now, tonight.

Agree.  There is no need for coaching now.  The forwards have to know they need to go out and win it and not do a repeat of the Panther's game.

There are no more "tomorrows".   

[Taro T]

Can people please not post the scores of the other 3 games in this thread. Some people actually are planning on watching at least parts of them.

There is a perfectly good Around the NHL thread that they can go into or perhaps somebody could staro a playoff watch thread.

Thanks.

We look Meh for being an "important game" 

Not sharp 

[GASabresIUFAN]

Anderson, Comrie and UPL are standing by Levi and saying “see we told you the guys playing defense suck”

Granato preaches “Learning Experiences” for this young team

The only Learning Experience right now… is winning this tied game with aggressive, strong, no nonsense play…

Just do it
