GDT/ Buffalo Sabres @ Tampa Bay Lightning Thurs. Feb 29th 7pm, ESPN+ MSG & WGR Radio

[CallawaySabres]

Just too many shots into the center of the goalie. Either keep it low and get a rebound or go for the corners.

[Thorner]

Tampa looks completely terrible today 

[Brawndo]

2-1 

[CallawaySabres]

Ugh

[Doohicksie]

***** me

[Thorner]

I feel like Dahlin might be the answer for all time per game leader in ice time for buffalo. They run him into the ground daily lol

[Brawndo]

Benson had the right idea there, bad outcome

What a great tip. Nothing UPL could do 

[Slack_in_MA]

Guy in front.... huh....

[DarthEbriate]

The Tampa broadcast is just fascinated with Kucherov's flubbed shot.

dang.

That just isn’t sustainable.

Greenway needs to shoot and be in front of the net at the same time, he's the only 1 who ever seems to go there.

I loved to see  two defensemen (one who will be paid 11 million dollars next season) flanking the Tampa player and letting him just hang out to score. Very cordial of them 

[CallawaySabres]

I just don’t understand why we look like such an ordinary team. It reminds me of all the BILLS teams during the 17 year drought.

OT equals season over. They will have to pull the goalie if this game is tied late.

I like the low + rebound option, easier for oncoming players to get a rebound than Dmen skating backwards.

-mounting statistical evidence that we are a close to a .500 hockey club, that tends to alternate between wins and losses

It's kinda how they've looked for a while. I really hope that the Sabres have been holding back, cuz if they had one guy who could turn on another gear, we beat them in the third.

This team is ready to play against,  soft and non aggresive on all parts of the ice.  They are easily my least favorite team.

The irony is not lost on me that 99.9 percent of the analysis we do is significantly inferior to merely..looking at the standings 

simply looking at the standings and your record tells THE most unbiased, full picture you can get. Once the sample size is significant. What was our record like on Nov 23 when I made the comment?
 

You want predictive? Shelve the advanced stats and look at the record

Kevyn Adams needs to walk his bastige arse down to the locker room and tell them all a little story about what happened when HIS team was down by a goal heading into the 3rd of a must win game
