GDT: New York Rangers @ Buffalo Sabres 7pm TNT

[Carmel Corn]

Power played less than 3 minutes that first period

[Dreams Burn Down]

They certainly did not come out with any urgency.  Turnovers, poor defense, icing after icing...wash, rinse, repeat.

[That Aud Smell]

They are unwatchable.

I don't know how you fix this bunch. They're sloppy from top to bottom. Six SOG against a reeling Rags team.

Somebody needs to knock Kevyn's head off his desk and tell him to make a ***** move. I know we joke about about their playoff chances, but realistically it's still early enough that it's within reach...but not with this roster as currently constructed. Other teams that are actually trying to make the playoffs do something when they're struggling, especially this badly. But not our Kevyn. His stubborn adherence to his "plan" is torpedoing yet another season.

Not to go all @inkman but NYR laughing at the Sabres. Panarin to Panger... you could have scored that goal.

How does that not make you lose your mind as the laughee?  Someone is laughing in my face at how I perform my job?  I’m committing at least 5 felonies on the ice before the game is over.  Does anyone care at all?

His play has been halfhearted.   Like a guy who knows his days as a Sabre are dwindling.

Piss and vinegar 😂😂😂😂

They have missed on having a physical component to their game.   Year after year.  Goes beyond Adams.

Gretzky telling the Sabres they need to hit someone.  Embarrassing on a generational level.  I hate this team so much. 

[Indabuff]

Gretzky just said Sabres just standing around?

Ship em all out

[Mr Peabody]

TNT between periods > the actual game

[Pimlach]

TNT crew brutality honest on Sabres lack of energy and soft game.  They are standing around watching.

Correction….7 SOGs

Not playing well, gives up the puck to much and just has no emotion in the game. Hasn't matured yet and looks depressed!

Good. He needs to be in the press box.

And just think Lindy gave them the morning skate off specifically so they could start hard tonight. lol. These guys and this franchise is an even bigger joke than it was a few years ago, and I didn’t think that would ever be possible. I hope the whole thing gets flushed down the tube, every coach, scout and management personnel is gone come April after missing the playoffs again. Easily half this roster can be jettisoned into the sun as well.

The only way to fix the bunch is to remove the bad apples.  I can live with Dahlin (still not sure he’s part of the solution) but Tage, Cozens, Power, Quinn, Joki, Samuelsson.  Purge the roster of these cowards.

I like this version of Gretzky. He's not having it.

You may need a chainsaw to cut down the whole friggin’ tree

Peterka incapable right now to shoot, carry puck and useless on Defense. Needs to be benched or at Least Benson to top line. Leave Zuck on 3rd line.

 

Honestly would make 3rd line our First. Go with Tuch Tage Benson 2nd line

3rd  Malenstein  McLeod Cozens

[CallawaySabres]

I have finally resided to the fact that they just are not good. The high drafted players are not good, and they are not getting better. It is what it is and that is the hardest part to accept. There is nothing to look forward to and I can't even imagine what next year will look like as well. Power's confidence will only get lower and I fear that more broken players will be discarded at their low points.

Will anyone have an answer to drag them out of this pit? I really don't think so after seeing that first period and the continuous lack of urgency.

[Slack_in_MA]

This feels like a Krueger-era team.
