Sabres dominated that game for much of the game, but couldn't put the puck behind a hot goalie.  Such is life.  Tomorrow against Ott is a huge game.  Bring this same effort and the hopefully they'll win.

This one sucks because we felt like the better team. 

 

You have to assume that we are better than no one from the start and go from there. I think you'd be safe to think that.

I think we finally have to admit that after all of these years that people say goalies  steal games from us, it’s just the fact that we have no finish to the game.

And you can actually roster goalies capable of stealing games

I told my son before the session started to not expect the super high scoring games we saw last year. There was no way that this team was going to sustain that type if offense. There is a reason why they call it a career year, because it only happens a few times in a players career.

He is tactically inept. The end of game clownshow vs Calgary was the type of thing you should never see happen at this (or any) professional level.

Things like who the coach puts on the ice and when to pull the goalie are 100% on DG. Players making bad decisions or not finishing on ice are 100% on them.

Can't blame Comrie on this one. Buffalo outplayed Montreal for most of the game.

I want to know what's going on with Tuch though.

We can blame him a little. The second goal was not a good one at all

Still think there is something wrong with Tuch.  Everything is slightly off.  Can’t handle a pass and can’t make a pass and can’t hit the net on a clear chance 

hate to say a game 7 is a must win but tomorrow is a must win.  

Loved Tuch when he was here in Vegas but he’s not a pure goal scorer. He’s a great player when he’s using his speed. He leaves you wanting more but I think he hit his ceiling last year. I’m telling you guys it’s coaching that’s going on with this team. In Vegas we are on defenseman 8 and 9 and they are solid.

I don’t disagree. I’ll cross that bridge when we get there. But the team has gotten better since the opening puck drop.

They’ve played very good hockey the last two games. We’re on pace for what I needed my “positive floor” to be. 

Hate to interrupt with reality but 5v5 stats have this game we "dominated" pretty much even. Vs Montreal. At home.

they've played decently the past two games.  even though they didn't win this one, you're going to win these sorts of games more often than not playing like that.  not worried

They clearly came into the season unprepared. Dom Granato sucks and isn't an NHL quality coach. Kevyn needs to get off his sorry ass and hire a real credible NHL quality coach or this bull ***** is never going to end.

There was a point in the 2nd I think, wher he looked very slow and almost unaware of where the puck was coming and going.

There were three PP passes from Tage where he got cute and turned the puck over letting the Habs clear. All three times EJ’s comments about not over complicating it and taking the play that’s there came to mind.

I was listening to a hockey podcast on the NHL Network. The guy said it’s demoralizing for the Sabres players to see a half empty building. 

Clearly this guy doesn’t get the idea people don’t like spending their money on garbage products.

And they did nothing to get this crowd in the game. Dahlin's last second hit was a joke.

Tuch will be fine. But it seems there are hints the entire team is not going to score nearly as many goals as last year. Hope I’m wrong. Could we be looking at year 13 of the drought? It’s beyond humiliating and seems impossible to miss that many years in a row. Nobody has been that bad.

Drop him to the 4th line till he finds his game.    Maybe that’s where he will eventually find himself anyways

I said this last season. DG is a developmental horse whisperer guy. As an assistant coach under an experienced and successful head coach, the team would benefit IMO.

That said, wins and losses are on the players. Not DG fault TT tries to make stupid passes or that Tuch has been irrelevant.

Fans are a reflection of the product, not the other way around 

people online care about the fact we locked up all our core to long term deals ahead of schedule. the lay-fan cares much more about the long term playoff drought

They’re not. They couldn’t keep up the type of scoring we saw last year

Ottawa and Detroit look better than Buffalo right now. Like I said how much more of this before something gives?

Like night and day difference if you've watched any of their games or the highlights.
