Both teams played 4 games in 5 1/2 days and it showed.

Sabres went 3-1 in that tough stretch. Montreal went 1-3

 


These scenarios won’t matter in March when we’re chasing points.  
 

This is the worst team in the NHL we lost to.  
 

But whatever.  
 

Tage is made of glass.  This is a problem.  
 

He fought real hard to come back last year with the hand injury….but he has to play or we’re absolutely awful.  
 

That’s why he rushed back last year.  They know it.

Tage Thompson injury is much more concerning than the loss.  Sabres went 3-1 in that brutal 4 games in 5 1/2 day stretch. I will take it.

They still do just too much dumb and lazy sh!t for me to buy in just yet. Today would have gone a long way and they wet themselves.

I have a lot of comments on this game.   Instead I’m going outside to enjoy the sunshine and nice weather.  

Incredible loss.

Montreal hadn't won in their last six but go on the road and net seven goals. Because Buffalo.

It is what happens when two tired teams play each other. Rarely does a team have to play 4 games in 5 1/2 days. Both of them had a brutal schedule.

We couldn’t maintain the energy of those two quick goals to start the 3rd.

Fell back to lackadaisical play and just outworked by the Habs.

They wanted it more than we did.

Disappointing.

No excuses. They got 6 points instead of 8. I will take it. 

Like the optimism but got to live in the present.  Can't lose a game like this - it always ends up costing you end of season.  Totally undisciplined and sloppy performance.  Just really inexcusable.

So it’s ok if they played like ***** against a shi++y team.  These are the games that they probably will want back when they miss the playoffs again. 
 

We will see eventually 🤷‍♂️

The Sabres are not a tired team. The schedule has not been brutal.

They both played like tired teams. It happens. If you have to play 4 games in 5 1/2 days and get 6 points you did ok.

You don't put up five goals at home against a horrible team and fail to even get a 'loser point'. It's unacceptable no matter how much you want to try and spin it. Just stop already.

Both of those teams were tired. It was a sloppy game by both teams. Since last Tuesday night they both were asked to play 4 games where travel was involved. It is asking a lot.  No excuse of losing, because Montreal had same situation, but that is why the game was so sloppy with all the penalties.

When two “tired teams” play one another, the better team should still win, so…

Not necessarily. When you lose your top player it doesn't help.

It's November. You might have had a case in April. They are not tired teams. They are two bad teams though.

The Bills can have a bad day and still win. The Sabres are closer to the bottom of the league than the top half. They should never expect to win, and until they play consistently like they did against Ottawa, they will never, ever get into the top 8 in April.

Young team issues, if the other team is playing a sloppy game, we for some reason does it even worse. Unfortunately it is games like this that is the difference between a playoff team and they who aren't. Hope a coach with routine can fix it quickly.

Still, I think it would have been a comfortable win without the injuries on Samuelsson and Tage. Hope it is not something that keep them out of the linup next game.

Sabres have won 3 of 4 and beat 3 winning teams.  They lost their top scorer for most of today. It happens. Should they have gutted out a win, sure, but I had them going 3-1 in the 4 game stretch, with a loss at NYR. They still got the 6 points, just not how I thought they would.

I’m not arguing they did ok but  these ARE the games people look back on and say, only if they won this game or that.
