Boy oh boy this team….

Considering they are on a back to back, hopefully Chicago lets up in the third and we can bring it home 

looks like we need a bit of help

Not saying the save was a guarantee, but he was even worse getting across to try to make the save.

I've never noticed a goalie with such 💩 mobility. Maybe i just haven't paid enough attention before, or maybe it's just that he's the worst of the worst. Any thoughts?

He's the slowest side to side and getting back up in the history of the NHL.

Another goal against inside a couple minutes of period end…

Bad pattern

It is.  Very bad goals to give up to young rebuilding team.   Samuelsson slacked on the second goal, in Winnipeg he let Appleton get behind him to deflect one in.  He needs to sit a game.

This game is sloppy like trying to eat a gooey, floppy pizza with your dominant arm tied behind your back.

My vegas odds computer is saying Zemgus game winning goal...

6,000,000 to 1

[Broken Ankles]

Hawks are a 10 point, 5 win team coming off a B2B and the Sabres are in a must win situation.  Being outplayed overall and dominated 5v5 that period is nothing less than unacceptable.

[HumanSlinky39]

This is a must win game. This team hasn't been able to build any kind of sustainable positive momentum and cannot afford losing streaks at this point.

I'm not a "fire everyone" kind of fan, but if they drop this one, I think we need to have a discussion about DG and if he's the guy to get this team to the next level. The playoffs have to be the goal this season and it's getting too late to be early. At what point do you do something to shake things up?

[Pimlach]

I want the Double Dub.  Come on Sabres.
 

Go out in the 3rd period and take the game.

@JohninMinn. you are quite the Hockey Historian, specializing in goaltending! 

I bet you are tight with and hang with the Commish don't you?  

 

[Pimlach]

We need to play harder on the puck Rob.  Clean is nonsense. Get to the dirty areas. 

[Pimlach]

Samuelsson is in my dog house. 

[Believer]

Just sloppy in the O-Zone… No urgency to retrieve and control the puck… Poor coaching or compete?

[TheAud]

Two careless turnovers in their own end leads to the penalty 

[HOUSE]

Freaking penalties are a joke

[Indabuff]

Damn

[Pimlach]

Greenway was awesome there.  Cozens could not convert.

Feels like we've been saying this forever....yet it seldom happens.  I want a coach who DEMANDS this from his players!

[Night Train]

Greenway with some solid effort. 

[Porous Five Hole]

Cozens had a chance to put the team on his back after Greenway’s hard work.  Nope. I think it is more than just the face shield. 

[Pimlach]

EJ with a nice shot block on the PK. 

[Porous Five Hole]

The Derek Plante sighting was a nice blast from the past. 

[jad1]

Sabres need to start winning shifts.  Just going through the motions.

[Brawndo]

Nice save by Power
