GDT: Buffalo Sabres @ Las Vegas Golden Knights 01/04/25 10PM ET-- MSG, ESPN+ for out of market

[Porous Five Hole]

Jeeeeez Byram was in no man’s land and NAK was asleep as the help. 
 

I know the Knights are good, but this is embarrassing.

Is it “again” when it’s a continuation?

I meant it in the sense that the Sabres allowed a goal... again.

[Carmel Corn]

I'm not a Jokiharju fan, but seriously....can he be any worse than some of our other guys playing defense lately?  

[Believer]

Damn.

Brutal.

Oh, well then, of course they suck again.

You were thinking macro, I was looking at micro.

[WhenWillItEnd66]

We are boys playing against men..... sad

[Carmel Corn]

Buffalo looks like the keystone cops trying to get out of their own zone

[Dreams Burn Down]

The Sabres look so consistently out of synch with each other.  Such a low hockey IQ.

[Nitro60]

Disjointed play and lack of effort on some players.   This is not going to be a pleasant trip home.

On that first goal, I have never seen Dahlin do anything like it.

He's one of the 2 d-men going back, he appears to be aware of the situation. He leaves his side of the ice, seemingly KNOWINGLY leaves his man free to skate right in front of the net, leaving him wide open while having zero chance of getting to the puck near the blue line.

Again, never seen him do anything like that and it was a total 100% lack of awareness on the ice. Its worse than that, its not a lack of awareness, he was trailing the play and saw his guy, and he also saw there was no one else back in his end.

Maybe MAYBE him and Byram were trying to switch sides, but you don't switch sides while leaving someone uncovered.

It might be the most puzzling goal allowed I have seen this year.

They are back to the way they started the season.  Like they don’t know each other or what to do.

What do you mean....what happens in Vegas STAYS in Vegas

[Gatorman0519]

This is crazy how consistently inept this team is. Never seen anything like it.

I think you are describing either not caring or just giving up.

Rob nails whomever.

On the 2nd goal I watched the replay from both angles.

Dahlin and Byram look like they are playing keystone kops out there.

They have no sense of where each other are. Its like they are playing with each other for the very first time without a practice.

Not quite as bad as the first goal, but not far behind.  I cannot explain their positioning or play at all on either goal.

On both goals, probably the most confused I have seen 2 Sabres D-men play all year, same two guys.

But....Marty Wilford is a defensive genius right?!?!  It's a good thing that Pegula and GMKA wanted him back on the coaching staff this season.

I’ll have to watch it again, but I felt like he tried to take away the play of the odd man rush by peeling off. It almost worked.  
 

The trailer was the one who scored, and that was JJP’s man.  He didn’t even try. He appeared to be in a glide and did not play the stick or the body.  It was infuriating. 

[SABRES 0311]

I wonder if they stayed out last night exploring the Vegas strip.
