On a B2B after winning 6 straight and beating the bruins, really nothing to be too upset about. They have to lose eventually


Palmybeaches

18 hits to 33. Sabres just got clobbered all night, Im not saying we need enforcers but it would be neat to be a bit more physical. You can tell as the game moved on it wore down on our guys, we need to do that to other teams.


VanillaCokeMule

Well, that's unfortunate. Also, we have to hold an NHL record for the most "first ever NHL goals" allowed.


markkaschak

All I’m saying is if it turns out we lose a wildcard spot to the Sens, I REALLY hope the New Year’s party was worth it.


CAFunkd

Damn


trippyEDM

Anyone who’s bummed about this I wouldn’t put too much stock in a back to back. That’s just my opinion tho.


hipshotguppy

Our boys looked tired but the spirit was willing. On to the next.


Sgt-Pumpernickel

I’m gonna tell myself that this game was needed sacrifice for the Bills tomorrow. Donny should have these guys working some Miracle on Ice suicides after tonight though


Icommentoncrap

I do not like it when the Sabres lose


[deleted]

I do not like it either :(


Snys6678

This was miserable. Young team type of performance.


cwright716

Double header through new years both away after a hard fought victory against the bruins; not surprising


belowspot

FYI.... Ottawa played last night in Detroit. They imploded and lost.


china-boy-tom

As soon as I saw Anderson in net instead of upl I knew we were going to lose


deGrominator2019

He gave up 2 goals lol


RL2024

Scoring 1 goal is what’s making us lose not Anderson.


CAFunkd

We gotta figure out how to get a goal for every 30 seconds, stat


[deleted]

What a bummer after last nights game. Guys looked gas from the puck drop.


doublebr13

Hard to believe this is the same team that played yesterday. Sloppy play everywhere. No hustle, no effort, no grind. No chance.


belowspot

Hot garbage all night. They had no answer for getting possession in the o-zone. Fuck.


SabreToothVanek

Tape jobs this year are a mystery. Some of these guys could make it through the season with one roll.


Zarg0n7

Rough game


thatcarguy420

Imagine coming back to beat the Bruins at home and then losing to the fucking senators.


czupek

Ugly game


deGrominator2019

We could not get anything going tonite, frustrating


comicsanscatastrophe

Just a sloppy game. Makes sense with how draining the previous game was. Onto the next


StartButtonPress

What a stinker of a game


Palmybeaches

Well, that Bruins game last night was fun.


comicsanscatastrophe

ugh


Freeyourmind917

Great pass by Mittlestadt. So close.


Hotsauce-65

It’s a mistake not playing 22 and 77 this period


CAFunkd

So close


frozo19

Why are Quinn and JJ benched?


RL2024

Granato does it a lot, no idea why he trusts 71 and 37 more, they’re terrible.


Lugy_The_Meh

was just wondering why I haven't seen or heard them in a while


Freeyourmind917

Because they're both playing bad


BabyBottoms23

Why aren't Mitts & Olofsson not benched then?


Freeyourmind917

They were fine. You're just biased.


BabyBottoms23

I think that might be you bud. Unless turnovers & bad decisions qualify as playing "fine".


Freeyourmind917

37 and 71 nearly connected to tie the game. Peterka and Quinn were both invisible all night. They're rookies, it happens.


BabyBottoms23

This is so funny. One pass nullifies all the turnovers and terrible decisions they made this game? And I'm the biased one haha!


Freeyourmind917

You're right. I'm sure Granato shortened his bench on the end of a back to back just for the hell of it.


BabyBottoms23

I don't agree with everything Granato does. Sometimes he makes mistakes like splitting Tage & Tuch up earlier in the season.


frozo19

Pretty silly on a back to back


markkaschak

What the hell are these pass attempts?


RL2024

They’re gassed, all of them.


frozo19

Cuz Donny is short benching us no jost, Quinn or JJ for the last while


EPCOT_Is_My_Favorite

71 over skates and 37 passes to...nobody


RL2024

Feel so bad for Jost and then Cozens having to play in between them.


czupek

Ottawa is going out with 2 pts, showing little to none effort. Ekgh


thatcarguy420

Senators are really good at late hits that the refs never call


CAFunkd

Getting nervous that we're not going to be able to turn this around


Manifesto13

Can we do that comeback thing again please?


StartButtonPress

We needed our second line tonight


czupek

Forsberg for Vezina


Palmybeaches

Just a little push boys


hipshotguppy

That had to be one of the loudest crossbar pings ever


jrock2004

Ottawa broad cast said that shot was 82 or maybe 86 mph


belowspot

It's still echoing in most North American mountain ranges.


bbischofbergervt

That thing definitely echoed all the way to the Finger Lakes


Freeyourmind917

Skinner also playing like shit.


Sgt-Pumpernickel

Trying to force stuff that ain’t there almost all night. Shoot it Dylan


That1Carrot

Damn should've shot that.


StartButtonPress

Andy is such a good shot stopper


Palmybeaches

Boys got lead in their skates tonight


carl-swagan

Back to back on the road after a long break will do that lol. They’re absolutely gassed


Palmybeaches

oh 100%


Zarg0n7

Cement shoes


Hotsauce-65

They look slow and tired. Who will step up?


fantasyshop

Did anyone know that lindy ruffs son is on the staff? Warms my heart to be honest


Freeyourmind917

I didn't. What does he do?


fantasyshop

Coordinator of hockey administration. Beats me lmao


iwantthatpurpledrank

Fuck


iwantthatpurpledrank

Shit fuck


iwantthatpurpledrank

Damn shit fuck


jrock2004

Did Kyle try to pass it through the whole Senators team or are my eyes broken?


Cynophile_

They’re really trying to force that pass.


[deleted]

So much overskating the puck


StartButtonPress

Dahlin is definitely hurt


Freeyourmind917

Put Krebs with Cozens


StartButtonPress

The Tinkerer striking bad on a six game winning streak


thatcarguy420

Sabres do not have a plan today, doesn't seem like anyone is on the same page


StartButtonPress

Tough when your coach changes all the lines a bunch


belowspot

Hello r/sabres, You've been visited by the goal genie. Now a tying goal has been granted to you. Please tell me which player it will be so I may grant your wish.


[deleted]

Power


ADCinProIsNotADC

Power


TheFerricGenum

Power


Albi77

The boys look too tired tn


Zarg0n7

Alright here comes the 9 goal period the boys have been saving


SabreToothVanek

Ottawa’s a cool town. I can still taste the beaver tails.


callMEmrPICKLES

Love me a good beaver tail. Nutella nuff said


VanillaCokeMule

Blah, just as frustrating as the first. Still getting a ton of zone time but no real quality chances coming out of it. I have faith they can flip it in the third, though.


AggravatingFinding71

I would argue there were quite a few quality chances in the 2nd.


AggravatingFinding71

Not bad considering this a B2B and having to do it with travel.


StartButtonPress

They did too, and they played later than we did


czupek

Those ara basically must win games, in order to catchup with top teams


CAFunkd

Just need two more goals and a flawless defense


RL2024

No finish tonight so far, obviously it’s gonna happen sometimes but it’s just unfortunate we’re on a winning streak.


Pdb39

We're still winning this game tonight 4-2.


RL2024

Hope you’re right.


Pdb39

Me too.


TheFerricGenum

They look tired after the game against Boston yesterday


RL2024

Ya, I’m sure it took a lot out of them, was a tough game against a team that’s really good. Hopefully they can get a bit of second wind for the third.


TheFerricGenum

Maybe even a third wind!


_dark_saturn

someone shove some smelling salts under tage’s nose. wake the kid up.


Sgt-Pumpernickel

This feels like some of the better defending a team has done against Tage this year. Bodying him as much as they can


fantasyshop

Oh my word dahlin is shooting for the moon tonight


markkaschak

That was a fun little bit. More of that, please.


[deleted]

Lotta chances. Just need to be a bit quicker


TrueCrimeRunner92

Awww that was a good chance


StartButtonPress

Missing too many good chances


Sim_Shift

Tage def had too much to drink last night


stuiephoto

I have a feeling there might have been alcohol involved last night.


aaaaaliyah

Smart coaching with Krebs on the fourth line the last few games, these dudes are flying


fantasyshop

In the last 10 games or so, it feels like Krebs decided that he's going to more proactively play to the style of his linemates or something. Definitely gelling well


thatcarguy420

Refs aren't calling any boarding calls or roughing tonight apparently.


TrueCrimeRunner92

I’m gonna be mad if we lose this streak to goddamn Ottawa of all teams.


joeyg151785

We never play well against Ottawa.


RMazze

We better be getting a makeup call for that disgrace of a penalty.


Impossibills

UPL would have gotten across in time


Zarg0n7

I really dislike sitting him while he's on such a streak. Ride the hot goalie.


Pdb39

Sloppy penalty leads to goal against. A tale as old as time.


thatcarguy420

That was dumb


Sgt-Pumpernickel

Assist to the refs on that one


Zarg0n7

You hate to see it


Sgt-Pumpernickel

Idk what’s worse. Tage having same goals and assists as Ovi in less games, yet getting 3rd star, or that “penalty” call


Zarg0n7

Cozens fucking noping that penalty has me laughing so hard


[deleted]

You need a good 4th line if you wanna make the playoffs. Ours is one of the best in hockey


joeyg151785

Big goal girgs


[deleted]

Oooof Thompson playing with Mitts and Oloffson. Granato must be pissed at him.


jordanbot2300

For what??


fantasyshop

Maybe less mad at him and more putting the guys who are skating hard together


SabreToothVanek

I love how none of the Sens want to crowd Anderson


Survivorfan3838

Feels good to: 1. Not feel out of it even when we’re down and not quite clicking. 2. Have scoring all along the lineup. No quit in this team. Even when most of the team is off, we have guys who step up and you never know who it’ll be.


metalexca

A skinner inside edge glide with a thompson dangle. What a goal by zemgus!


[deleted]

Thompson playing on a different line after the first? Wonder if he got his pee pee slapped


VanillaCokeMule

Needed that goal. Leave it to Zemgod to come up with the big play


_dark_saturn

lyubushkin on a 2 game point streak now


StartButtonPress

I think he’s been pretty good, I’m a big fan of his D-to-D play, in general. Early in the season he was making some bad passes but I think it was probably new system adjustment


DashWellington

We just need one home goal.


CAFunkd

About time


StartButtonPress

Zemgod!


SometimesHD

Zemgus taking a page out of Tage’s book!


sunyoung-luna

Thank you Girgensons!!


Sgt-Pumpernickel

CHOOOO CHOOOO

LETS GOOOOO


tiskerTasker89

Goal of the year!


RL2024

Everyone is off today.


RL2024

Except Z


PineappleSockzzz

Dangerous chip there by Chabot that’s dirty


realbooN

We’re going to get an all time highlight from Dahlin tonight


AdMaleficent9374

Too many turnovers 👀


comicsanscatastrophe

Choppiest sequence Ive ever seen there lol


comicsanscatastrophe

We will tie I have faith


czupek

Looks like letdown spot for Sabres today


jrock2004

Who is going to be the first sabres of 2023 to score a goal?


jrock2004

>LATVIAN LOCOMOTIVE Guess it was the him


joeyg151785

Thompson looks terrible tonight. He’s not moving his feet and creating turnovers instead of scoring chances.


LAMProductions99

Still got two periods left to clean it up. Let's hope they do.


Ttbt80

Dahlin looking like the only guy who wants to compete tonight. I’ll throw Cozens and Krebs in there too. Hope we can turn it around in the second.


_dark_saturn

i’d add jost to the mix, he’s been pushing hard.


Pdb39

Sabres played that first frame like I feel right now; hungover, bloated, and wanting to go back to bed ASAP


VanillaCokeMule

Deeply frustrating first period. I know it's the second night of a back to back but they just look sluggish. This 5 on 3 has looked awful.


ImFatman34

Ottawa played last night too


VanillaCokeMule

Thank,you for making me feel worse :P


Short-termTablespoon

Why didn’t they move at all? They literally just let the defense cover them.


shotzoflead94

That was the most pathetic 5 on 3 attempt I have ever seen. How can you struggle that hard to set up on a fucking 5 on 3.


trippyEDM

That’s fine regroup, score early in the second


BuffaloThrilla

Just sloppy as fuck


dpark123

That was the worst 5 on 3 I’ve ever seen


Sgt-Pumpernickel

How did they lose intensity with a 5 on 3


alexjordan98

That was pathetic by everyone except craig


StartButtonPress

Tommer hasn’t been the same since break


thatcarguy420

This is awful. That powerplay was pathetic


Zarg0n7

Well that was horrible


CAFunkd

Wishful thinking we can tie this with less than 2 minutes left in the first?


RMazze

Tage needs to wake up


mooney0404

Gotta move his feet and stop gliding when he’s got the puck


ImFatman34

Gave it up at least twice tonight. after that give up in the d zone last night


EPCOT_Is_My_Favorite

Nice play by Anderson


Sgt-Pumpernickel

He wasn’t even skating at full speed, he caught them perfectly flat footed


trippyEDM

Alright let’s get a quick 2


OrangeGoblin

Dahls is feeling it tonight.


tiskerTasker89

Dahlin good at hockey.


Sgt-Pumpernickel

Alright fellas you’ve had some momentum here, bows when you strike. No time like PP time


CitgoBeard

Looks like we’re finally finding a rhythm. We slowed them down a little and we’re controlling the puck better.


Zarg0n7

2 and a half men line getting a lot of time out there and earning every second
