GDT/ Buffalo Sabres @ Vancouver Canucks Tuesday 10pm 3/19, ESPN+ MSG & WGR Radio

Levi had to make a point blank save on Rasmus Dahlin

[John Tucker]

Crap.  2 more minutes of Matt Ellis’ famed PP

[Slack_in_MA]

Feels like it could be a tough night doom-scrolling on the old SabreSpace tonight. 

[OverPowerYou]

The Canuck’s coach kinda looks like the guy the Sabres/bills just hired 

[DarthEbriate]

The backchecker tried too hard and basically overskated Krebs and ended up with the hook.

Krebs' lack of speed drew that penalty.

This powerplay:

[K-9]

How is it possible to be this inept on the PP this long?

Matt Ellis looks like the guy that should’ve been canned!!

[DarthEbriate]

"The Sabres who have a group of players who you think would have a good powerplay." - Canucks broadcast

And you can see why. They stand around waiting for passes, lack intensity to win the puck battles, and only 1-2 guys are even allowed to shoot.

[SABRES 0311]

Levi giving up a lot of dangerous rebounds.

[K-9]

Levi looks shaky AF. Can’t get control of the puck in the crease all night. He needs to be better.

[Pimlach]

I don’t have the game on TV where I’m staying. Sounds bad so far 
 

 

[JohninMinn.]

Canucks were told to be physical they'll fold.

Messi has double the Instagram followers 

In the states? Sure.

Not just in the States.  She's selling out stadiums in Japan, Australia, Europe -- everywhere.  I have a friend in Malaysia who reports that her poster is everywhere and the taxis all play her music.

[inkman]

Nucks look amazing.  Wow. 

[DarthEbriate]

I thought you said this team was fast!

Watch yourself, Sabres fan, or you'll find yourself floating home.

Not skating. Atall. Or however Ray spells it.

[LTS]

This game feels like the Sabres are hanging over a cliff while we watch the rope they are clinging to slowly fray until it snaps and they fall to their doom.

Canucks sending the pressure, constant pressure.

[CallawaySabres]

If our terrible GM is still here next year, I hope he realizes how far away we are from competing for the Cup. Vancouver is EVERYTHING I have wanted our team to look like for the last 13 years. I honestly think they would still beat us if we were on the powerplay for the full game.

[Second Line Center]

Vancouver has lost 2 in a row.  Knew they’d come out hot.  
 

Just stay close.

Could you imagine the Beatles or MJ with social me

There’s a weird ebb and flow with the way the league plays the Sabres. 

Press and forecheck heavy. Sabres don’t adjust. Opponent wins big. 

Then it seems like the league just sort of collectively gradually eases up until the Sabres win a couple or score a bunch. 

Then teams start carrying/taking us seriously again. They press and forecheck and we suck again. 

The cycle continues until we die. 

It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s a good team or bad team. It’s like a secret the whole league is in on except for the guys in our locker room.

I'll never understand how KA didn't do anything to improve the coaching of the PP.   hire a consultant, like the blues did with Brad Richards.   It's been obvious to anyone and everyone That Matt Ellis is in way over his head.
