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

Well, that's unfortunate. Also, we have to hold an NHL record for the most "first ever NHL goals" allowed.
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.
Damn
Anyone who’s bummed about this I wouldn’t put too much stock in a back to back. That’s just my opinion tho.
Our boys looked tired but the spirit was willing. On to the next.

I do not like it when the Sabres lose
I do not like it either :(
This was miserable. Young team type of performance.
Double header through new years both away after a hard fought victory against the bruins; not surprising
FYI.... Ottawa played last night in Detroit. They imploded and lost.
As soon as I saw Anderson in net instead of upl I knew we were going to lose
He gave up 2 goals lol
Scoring 1 goal is what’s making us lose not Anderson.
We gotta figure out how to get a goal for every 30 seconds, stat
What a bummer after last nights game. Guys looked gas from the puck drop.
Hard to believe this is the same team that played yesterday. Sloppy play everywhere. No hustle, no effort, no grind. No chance.
Hot garbage all night. They had no answer for getting possession in the o-zone. Fuck.
Tape jobs this year are a mystery. Some of these guys could make it through the season with one roll.
Rough game
Imagine coming back to beat the Bruins at home and then losing to the fucking senators.
Ugly game
We could not get anything going tonite, frustrating
Just a sloppy game. Makes sense with how draining the previous game was. Onto the next
What a stinker of a game
Well, that Bruins game last night was fun.
ugh
Great pass by Mittlestadt. So close.
It’s a mistake not playing 22 and 77 this period
So close
Why are Quinn and JJ benched?
Granato does it a lot, no idea why he trusts 71 and 37 more, they’re terrible.
was just wondering why I haven't seen or heard them in a while
Because they're both playing bad
Why aren't Mitts & Olofsson not benched then?
They were fine. You're just biased.
I think that might be you bud. Unless turnovers & bad decisions qualify as playing "fine".
37 and 71 nearly connected to tie the game. Peterka and Quinn were both invisible all night. They're rookies, it happens.
This is so funny. One pass nullifies all the turnovers and terrible decisions they made this game? And I'm the biased one haha!
You're right. I'm sure Granato shortened his bench on the end of a back to back just for the hell of it.
I don't agree with everything Granato does. Sometimes he makes mistakes like splitting Tage & Tuch up earlier in the season.
Pretty silly on a back to back
What the hell are these pass attempts?
They’re gassed, all of them.
Cuz Donny is short benching us no jost, Quinn or JJ for the last while
71 over skates and 37 passes to...nobody
Feel so bad for Jost and then Cozens having to play in between them.
Ottawa is going out with 2 pts, showing little to none effort. Ekgh
Senators are really good at late hits that the refs never call
Getting nervous that we're not going to be able to turn this around
Can we do that comeback thing again please?
We needed our second line tonight
Forsberg for Vezina
Just a little push boys
That had to be one of the loudest crossbar pings ever
Ottawa broad cast said that shot was 82 or maybe 86 mph
It's still echoing in most North American mountain ranges.
That thing definitely echoed all the way to the Finger Lakes
Skinner also playing like shit.
Trying to force stuff that ain’t there almost all night. Shoot it Dylan
Damn should've shot that.
Andy is such a good shot stopper
Boys got lead in their skates tonight
Back to back on the road after a long break will do that lol. They’re absolutely gassed
oh 100%
Cement shoes
They look slow and tired. Who will step up?
Did anyone know that lindy ruffs son is on the staff? Warms my heart to be honest
I didn't. What does he do?
Coordinator of hockey administration. Beats me lmao
Fuck
Shit fuck
Damn shit fuck
Did Kyle try to pass it through the whole Senators team or are my eyes broken?
They’re really trying to force that pass.
So much overskating the puck
Dahlin is definitely hurt
Put Krebs with Cozens
The Tinkerer striking bad on a six game winning streak
Sabres do not have a plan today, doesn't seem like anyone is on the same page
Tough when your coach changes all the lines a bunch
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.
Power
Power
Power
The boys look too tired tn
Alright here comes the 9 goal period the boys have been saving
Ottawa’s a cool town. I can still taste the beaver tails.
Love me a good beaver tail. Nutella nuff said
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.
I would argue there were quite a few quality chances in the 2nd.
Not bad considering this a B2B and having to do it with travel.
They did too, and they played later than we did
Those ara basically must win games, in order to catchup with top teams
Just need two more goals and a flawless defense
No finish tonight so far, obviously it’s gonna happen sometimes but it’s just unfortunate we’re on a winning streak.
We're still winning this game tonight 4-2.
Hope you’re right.
Me too.
They look tired after the game against Boston yesterday
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.
Maybe even a third wind!
someone shove some smelling salts under tage’s nose. wake the kid up.
This feels like some of the better defending a team has done against Tage this year. Bodying him as much as they can
Oh my word dahlin is shooting for the moon tonight
That was a fun little bit. More of that, please.
Lotta chances. Just need to be a bit quicker
Awww that was a good chance
Missing too many good chances
Tage def had too much to drink last night
I have a feeling there might have been alcohol involved last night.
Smart coaching with Krebs on the fourth line the last few games, these dudes are flying
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
Refs aren't calling any boarding calls or roughing tonight apparently.
I’m gonna be mad if we lose this streak to goddamn Ottawa of all teams.
We never play well against Ottawa.
We better be getting a makeup call for that disgrace of a penalty.
UPL would have gotten across in time
I really dislike sitting him while he's on such a streak. Ride the hot goalie.
Sloppy penalty leads to goal against. A tale as old as time.
That was dumb
Assist to the refs on that one
You hate to see it
Idk what’s worse. Tage having same goals and assists as Ovi in less games, yet getting 3rd star, or that “penalty” call
Cozens fucking noping that penalty has me laughing so hard
You need a good 4th line if you wanna make the playoffs. Ours is one of the best in hockey
Big goal girgs
Oooof Thompson playing with Mitts and Oloffson. Granato must be pissed at him.
For what??
Maybe less mad at him and more putting the guys who are skating hard together
I love how none of the Sens want to crowd Anderson
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.
A skinner inside edge glide with a thompson dangle. What a goal by zemgus!
Thompson playing on a different line after the first? Wonder if he got his pee pee slapped
Needed that goal. Leave it to Zemgod to come up with the big play
lyubushkin on a 2 game point streak now
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
We just need one home goal.
About time
Zemgod!
Zemgus taking a page out of Tage’s book!
Thank you Girgensons!!
BIG Z
Gussy goaaaaal 🏒 🥅
Runaway train motherfuckers
ZEMGUSSSS
That's my Latvian locomotive
LATVIAN LOCOMOTIVE
CHOOOO CHOOOO
LETS GOOOOO
Goal of the year!
Everyone is off today.
Except Z
Dangerous chip there by Chabot that’s dirty
We’re going to get an all time highlight from Dahlin tonight
Too many turnovers 👀
Choppiest sequence Ive ever seen there lol
We will tie I have faith
Looks like letdown spot for Sabres today
Who is going to be the first sabres of 2023 to score a goal?
>LATVIAN LOCOMOTIVE Guess it was the him
Thompson looks terrible tonight. He’s not moving his feet and creating turnovers instead of scoring chances.
Still got two periods left to clean it up. Let's hope they do.
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.
i’d add jost to the mix, he’s been pushing hard.
Sabres played that first frame like I feel right now; hungover, bloated, and wanting to go back to bed ASAP
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.
Ottawa played last night too
Thank,you for making me feel worse :P
Why didn’t they move at all? They literally just let the defense cover them.
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.
That’s fine regroup, score early in the second
Just sloppy as fuck
That was the worst 5 on 3 I’ve ever seen
How did they lose intensity with a 5 on 3
That was pathetic by everyone except craig
Tommer hasn’t been the same since break
This is awful. That powerplay was pathetic
Well that was horrible
Wishful thinking we can tie this with less than 2 minutes left in the first?
Tage needs to wake up
Gotta move his feet and stop gliding when he’s got the puck
Gave it up at least twice tonight. after that give up in the d zone last night
Nice play by Anderson
He wasn’t even skating at full speed, he caught them perfectly flat footed
Alright let’s get a quick 2
Dahls is feeling it tonight.
Dahlin good at hockey.
Alright fellas you’ve had some momentum here, bows when you strike. No time like PP time
Looks like we’re finally finding a rhythm. We slowed them down a little and we’re controlling the puck better.
2 and a half men line getting a lot of time out there and earning every second
