It's telling too that in a "must win" game that is Reimer in net , not UPL 

please for the love of all things good and pure.  Please let Levi be the real deal

He is. He’s still very young though. Literally no reason to rush him up here considering this dumpster fire, particularly the inconsistent defense.

If I'm not mistaken, the Sabres have 2 shootout wins.

But in Overtime 3-on-3, they are now 0 wins and 6 losses.

Granato had them playing better,  can’t believe it but he did.

I swear to God, I don’t know how any of you could possibly show any emotion on a loss. It’s like the battered wife syndrome, get a grip.
 

this team sucks, what do you possibly expect. They are in the basement of the conference by practically 10 points.

Its having already accepted they are making the playoff and watching each game without thinking of the big picture. "they are playing tonight (I know it doesn't mean the playoffs"  "I want them to win" "Darn it, they lost!"

Yup haven’t won one 3 on 3. When you are last place you don’t win many OTs. Lack of talent.

Picking on UPL when he didn’t even play.  
 

must win?

Half this roster has to be replaced. 

The other half, shot.

Well, they started out OT with Tuch AND Cozens on the ice? I'd question that.  You have 2 guys who are guys who want to go deep into the corner and chase the puck.  When you have 3-on-3, that is exactly NOT want you want to do. When you don't have the puck with that much open ice, you want to play zone defense, not aggressive man to man.  So how do you put BOTH of those guys out there at the same time?

[KC Scouts]

Once again for the second year in a row....the Sabres come out with the season ticket renewals and they **** the bed for a few games.

Nothing like convincing the fan base of good times ahead 🤣.....this organization can't do anything right 🤣 

[K-9]

Another loss where goaltending cost us the game. Other than the fluky goal that bounced off Clifton, Reimer should have stopped the other three. 

[Believer]

Great comeback. Never quit.

Disappointing outcome.

Reimer just beat clean.

Got a point anyway.

[Mustache of God]

Will this team hit 70 points this year?

[Indabuff]

Piss on these ***** turds

If they play darts, maybe.

Yeah, but Power did misplay both goals he was out there for in front of the net...the save would not have to be made if he had a little more situational awareness.  And the SH goal would have never been a 2-on-1 if Cozens didn't fumble and lose the puck on the boards causing the 2 on one.

Ruff called it a must win game prior to puck drop 

[OverPowerYou]

At this point, if the Sabres offered me season tickets and free gas and parking to the games I think I’d pass. 

[Big Guava]

I mean great job to get a point after the hole they dug themselves but unacceptable to dig themselves that hole and it was all of their own doing.

Any coaching staff still putting Cozens on the pp is stupid. 

[Carmel Corn]

Games like tonight make me even more frustrated with the expectation that GMKA will still keep his job...no matter what.

[Turbo44]

The Sabres starting goalie next year is playing in Rochester. UPL’s analytics are borderline terrible this year

Woo slow down, you might want that free gas after tomorrow

Let's see how he does in the Playoffs.   If he makes a significant run, I think it's possible

He has played pretty well in every stint he had in Rochester, even the short ones before this season, hasn't he?

The issue is, every time he plays in Buffalo, he's just not at NHL level. Yeah, he's still young, but he has yet to show that he is a capable NHL goalie.

Maybe he just needs more experience at the pro level.  Hopefully that is it...and not he's a guy who is that AAAA guy who can dominate at the minor level but just can't be 'the guy' at the top level
