All 1500 people in the arena enjoyed that sequence. 

You enjoyed it too

Well since Dallas’s goal we’ve been all over them like butter on bread and Oettinger has stood on his head

[Big Guava]

Only the Sabres could be outshooting a team 14-2 halfway thru the 1st and still losing 1-0.

Just SMFH at this team sometimes.

Really good shift with the Cozens line a few minutes back. All five did well hanging on to the puck, keeping it in the zone, and being aggressive to keep possession. We need more of that aggressiveness. Their goalie is playing well. 

[CallawaySabres]

Forecheck , forecheck some more, and don’t stop forechecking until there are zeros on the clock! Not bad so far

Compared to the snipers in the All-Star games, our shooters are awful… Girgensons shoots over the net at an open corner from 15 feet in the slot… No poise.

[DarthEbriate]

Otter's a good goalie.

[CallawaySabres]

And I don’t wanna hear anymore about goalies playing well against us, it is the Sabres inability to score, never the goalies.

[HumanSlinky39]

Solid energy/effort so far, we're getting goalied. Keep up the pressure.

[CallawaySabres]

We have made backup, goalies and starter goalies alike, look like world beaters for 10 years in a row

[Slack_in_MA]

Ain't got finishers.

No he's just playing against the Sabres 

His stats are dumpy this year

He is but once again, the Sabres make good goalies look like Prime Hasek on his best night pretty regularly this year.

[HumanSlinky39]

Feels like we've possessed the puck for 90% of this period but nothing to show for it.

[OverPowerYou]

For the past several years with the exception of half the season last year, the Buffalo Sabres look like your average citizen skating in a public skating rink. WHY ARE THEY SO SLOW AND LETHARGIC?

We turn every goalie into Jacques Plante

[Big Guava]

You would think with as many shots as they throw at these goalies we would get some crazy deflection or bounce off a skate like happens against us all too frequently, but it never seems to happen for us...

With how much offensive zone pressure the Sabres have, why hasn't a penalty been called against Dallas 

Curious 

[HumanSlinky39]

Getting prime chances but these guys either fire buckshot or right into Oettinger.

[Slack_in_MA]

RJ playing well.

That’s what happens when you draft small “playmakers” every year this century

[DarthEbriate]

Clifton... take it all the way to the net. Get it mucky.

We never drive the net to force a call.  All the shots and virtually all of them from the outside as usual

Nah they've been going to the net too
