Losing this game is unacceptable. Not bad, not something to yell at players about, not a learning experience, not anything. It is unacceptable to lose at home to the worst team in the NHL.

Wow.. I have no words. 

Where our friend that says we're winning the cup... Yeahhhh no 

They cannot lose to the Habs. Their defence is absolutely abysmal. It was horrid on Saturday night and poor Montembault was getting shelled. If the Sabres want to appear legit this season, these are the teams you need to feast on. You can beat the Rangers, Dallas, Florida etc all you want, but when you lose to Columbus, Montreal , the Islanders, you're in no better position than you were the previous 13 seasons.

How do we get called for a non-penalty and their guy takes our guy down when he has the puck and it's a no call?

This is why they will not make the playoffs.  Cannot dominate against weaker teams

Yup, these are the games they will look back at the end of the year and just wonder how they give points away.

I know there are some good "vibes" going on because of the last week.... But, I'm not sold yet... We've been historically bad, so until that's sustained for at least 6 weeks, I'm still not sure we have the right skill/make up of a good team, and Adams is still trash

Especially if they dump this game. Montreal is God awful so far this season. Horrible D.

The fact they didn’t call a penalty on that blatant hook on Power and yet they called a chincy interference on Byram and a delay of game off a deflection is aggravating.

Add to that Thompson hasn’t returned 

Don’t get me wrong, play ***** better but we are simultaneously getting whacked over the head by additional negative circumstances

@Demoted & @Idemo Buffalo, this is why you proactively manage your crease versus “ride the hot guy.”

Four games in six days is too many in today’s NHL.    

They aren't taking a red hot goalie out with a chance for their longest win streak in 2 years.  I think if they win today though, Lindy will consider starting Levi on Thursday.  It is different because UPL has already given up 4 goals today.  He had only given up one or two his last 4 games.

Was just going to say same thing...

they are kind of dominating play - they just take stupid fkn momentum turning penalties and make stupid plays.  UPL is average at best also, had no chance on the 3rd goal, but certainly could have save the 2nd and 4th ones if his angles were correct and I honestly don't remember the 1st one. 4 goals allowed on 18 shots doesn't work.  4 PPs for Montreal (including a 2man pp) and only 2 for us.

And I'll throw it out there once again. If they aren't in a playoff spot by US Thanksgiving, they won't be by season's end. The Sport Centre stat still holds with me.

Geez 

I go away we’re up 3-2.

I come back we’re down 4-3.

Suzuki scores twice in the last minute.

Talk about a breakdown. 

Ruff must be berserk

If 23-Muel-PO misses time, Gilbert is in. That's easy.

If Tagebacca misses time...  hmmm. Difficult to see.

Tage has been carrying much of the scoring. We are in trouble if it’s a serious injury.

Um, they are down 1 goal heading into the 3rd period. They haven't given away any points yet.

They need to clean up their game and get the next goal. 

That was a brutal end to the period.  Just had a good PK and then they stopped playing hockey. 

They need a shot of NARCAN...

I missed the last 4 minutes of 2nd, but agree prior they were dominating play and possession.
