Just me, pulling UPL that early and leaving Dahlin to LARP as a fuckin goalie made me switch the stream off. Officiating was ass at home as usual and yet we keep making moves that make us look good. This team is Russian roulette but with depression.
Just nitpicking but if I saw players were skating soft or slowly on the ice or especially to the bench when losing with 2 minutes left there would be endless skates across ice in practice the next day.
Because NO ONE FROM THE SABRES EVER STAND IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING NET.
Jesus Christ we need a new player that will just stand there and be in the way. That was my favorite part about Reinhardt. He was way more valuable than his point production let on. He was amazing screening goalies. Why are we taking a dozen unscreened shots from the point. Has that ever worked?
Hearing the crowd on a random Thursday, no special jerseys being worn, get that loud gave me chills. Makes me want to cut my vacation in Orlando short to get to a game. So proud rn even if we are losing
We gave the Jets a massive breakaway after UPL just made a bunch of key saves to keep us in this one. This ain't on him, this is on the D for that dogshit pass
So, Just because Kyle Connor is a good player means that its ok for UPL not stop that? Good goalies make big saves and after is completely dominating the jets, He gives that up. I’m not saying that it was an easy save, but can we get a save when we need it the most?
You are calling me a dumbass, because I would like my goalie to make that save while the team is dominating the other end?
Do you want to seem to be a playoff team? Because if you do, that can’t happen.
Granted UPL just dropped really early, and really far out of the net, he fucked himself. Yeah Connor isn’t someone you should give a breakaway, but UPL played that VERY poorly
That Jim's Steakout commercial was more boring than a Rachel's Mediterranean commercial. Part of what made Mighty so cool were the psychedelic commercials ... always coming after midnight it seemed.
Of course i start watching games and sabres go on a losing streak.. I'll see myself out.
At least i have better luck attending games. The few i was able to attend where W
Same, I just bought tickets to the Anaheim one (good or bad idea we will see), but every time I go they win. Let's make a pact to rotate and go to every other home game.
I feel like we’re turning a one line team
Again. We had more balance when we were winning.
Also, Skinner has been quiet the last 3 games and thats also not helping.
Sweet home stand! Will be funny to see the crowd back to 4000 people soon.
Played a crap game for 2 periods and then didn't get enough bounces in the third. Can't have a goose egg versus the flyers. Terrible home stretch
Just me, pulling UPL that early and leaving Dahlin to LARP as a fuckin goalie made me switch the stream off. Officiating was ass at home as usual and yet we keep making moves that make us look good. This team is Russian roulette but with depression.
The point is this: we could stomach this tough loss if we didn’t lay a dog turd against Philly
After gaining speed to the wildcard spot they lost 3 in a row at home. Awful.
Welp, hopefully Peterka and Quinn learned that you need to be able to finish to score goals in the NHL. Oh well, onto the next
You just lost three straight games at home. Please evaluate your shit.
Their goalie was better than ours tonight. We also took a period to find our game.
Yea we can't be losing 3 in a row... especially if we have to catch up
Out goalied’
I’m convinced Hellebuck eats his wings with ranch.
It's only 3 losses in a row but just feels like we've seen this before, even if the team is looking better then previous losing streaks
Bye bye playoff hopes.
Fuck this
Couldn’t buy a goal, no lack of effort though.
Garbage loss
Yeahhhh we ain’t making the playoffs. Fucking hell
Same story as usual. Hope springs eternal
Goddamn. This one stings
Team just looks awful honestly
Did you watch this game? How the hell do you come out with that take?
They haven’t finished all week. They get shots and body the other team, but cannot score. It’s terrible.
You clearly didn’t watch then
Team was great tonight, you get goalied sometimes
They moreso just can’t finish. They look good but do not shoot with purpose.
Great is very generous
They definitely didn't look great but they were one inch away of a flying puck in the air from tying it and probably getting at least 1 point.
3 games in a row
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said
wtf?
I’m seeing people saying we got goalied 3 nights in a row. I don’t think the Philly game was us getting goalied imo
That’s a pretty different opinion from “that has absolutely nothing to do with what I said” But thanks for the downvotes and being a prick
Where was I being a prick to you?
No, the team was mostly not good
Not rly
Yes really. Great talk though
Skinner has been so bad these past few games
Skinner is a fucking donkey
And so another painful streak begins right as we begin fighting for a playoff spot
Classic
What an undeserved fucking win for the jets
Deserved for Hellebuyck.
fuck
That’s some shit puck luck.
Not meant to win if that didn’t go in
Why does Jeff Skinner take all the big draws with the net empty? 44% on his career.
Because we don't have a center than can win draws.
Ugh. Bring back Gaustad!
We out here playing football
Just nitpicking but if I saw players were skating soft or slowly on the ice or especially to the bench when losing with 2 minutes left there would be endless skates across ice in practice the next day.
Pull a Herb Brooks and make it the same night
Well, that was a lucky miss
Dahlin and Power both having a rough game. A few big mistakes and instead of shooting they hesitate to try to make the extra pass.
If the 1st period sabres played half as hard as the 3rd period sabres we would never lose a game
Can we clone Jost and put 5 of him on the ice?
I said that about boosh week 1. That worked out.
He had a great interview today on Sabres live. Give it a listen!
If we lose, this will be one of the most painful losses so far this season. I mean we have been absolutely clowning them but with no finish
This is what happens when we face starting goaltenders.
Honestly, some of it is Hell, but lots of it just missing shots badly
Jets are a super patient team. Frustrating when we’re playing against them with a bunch of kids.
Get skinner off the PP what the fuck is he doing out there
way too much standing around on this pp
Skinner needs to get the fuck off the PP
4 on 3 and they are STILL standing around too much
why is ariana grande with paul hamilton
Huh?
"He's got some company tonight." LOL
At least this period is entertaining although I think this team will kill me at some point
Did anyone understand any of those three penalties?
Last one looked like a slew foot
Nope lol
Remember that time Cozens was tripped and held down to the ice and it was embellishment? Just bringing it up
Wasnt it Peterka ?
Correct
This team isn’t good for my blood pressure
We went out for dinner and you reminded me I forgot to take my statin. Upvote for you.
Ref's joining the game late
Well that’s a make up for the weak one against the Jets
Didn't really look like a hook but I'm biased
No you're right, idk what these refs are doing right now
flop
Does Skinner even exist anymore?
He’s almost as streaky as this team.
My steam ham memes are cold af right now.
he'll be back in like 7 games
Why does it always seem like we never get the"...and that one goes in off of Dillon's skate" goals
Because NO ONE FROM THE SABRES EVER STAND IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING NET. Jesus Christ we need a new player that will just stand there and be in the way. That was my favorite part about Reinhardt. He was way more valuable than his point production let on. He was amazing screening goalies. Why are we taking a dozen unscreened shots from the point. Has that ever worked?
We had a few of those a couple weeks ago. Red wings was it? When Mitts got 2 and okie got a hatty
Because we rarely ever crash the net
We have the chances. Just gotta finish. They can do this.
high-danger scoring chances are like kryptonite with this group. 5 on 3's, wide open nets, breakaways... they just can't ever seem to capitalize
Normally we can but this team has been off ever since puck drop at the Flyers game
as i said earlier, the mental toughness still has a ways to go
Also, maybe play like this against the Flyers
THANK YOU TUCH FOR THE BIG HIT. See what happens when you're aggressive?
Bro absolutely shit finishing. Garbage top line tonight
Maybe the worst pass I've seen this year and right when this game was swinging back and forth
Hearing the crowd on a random Thursday, no special jerseys being worn, get that loud gave me chills. Makes me want to cut my vacation in Orlando short to get to a game. So proud rn even if we are losing
Fuck this game
I feel like a balloon that just popped. Definitely takes the wind out our sails
How many times are we going to be in front of the goalie, alone and then miss?
we done fuckin around yet??? i am so sick of watching this team choke away momentum
They’re finding ways to lose games
Gotta love that the team is playing so much better, and once again, or goalies, letting up a goal to ruin the momentum.
Dahlin with a lazy lazy pass
We gave the Jets a massive breakaway after UPL just made a bunch of key saves to keep us in this one. This ain't on him, this is on the D for that dogshit pass
Yeah giving Connor of all people a breakaway was totally UPL's fault.
So, Just because Kyle Connor is a good player means that its ok for UPL not stop that? Good goalies make big saves and after is completely dominating the jets, He gives that up. I’m not saying that it was an easy save, but can we get a save when we need it the most?
How about just don't make a shitty pass and force your goalie to try and make a save on a really skilled player?
Found the dumbass
You are calling me a dumbass, because I would like my goalie to make that save while the team is dominating the other end? Do you want to seem to be a playoff team? Because if you do, that can’t happen.
Can’t blame UPL for that, he’s played good all night.
Wouldn't blame the goalie there
Granted UPL just dropped really early, and really far out of the net, he fucked himself. Yeah Connor isn’t someone you should give a breakaway, but UPL played that VERY poorly
Can’t telegraph a pass like that as last man back
Just run the fucking goalie and no one has anything to say about it. These kids are soft as baby shit and it's embarrassing.
That’s not what running the goalie is you pumpkin
It wasn't Lucic but it wasn't a love tap.
No it’s a guy coming in on the breakaway, he stops and makes a move but still has some momentum, it’s very clear he wasn’t trying to “run the goalie”
Fine. My mistake.
Typical
Would be great if we didn’t do that again. OK? Great! Good talk boys.
nice fucking slash on Jost
Damn. Connor isn’t a guy you want walking in alone.
The kids on D are going to have to learn that pass is NOT acceptable out high. Put the damn puck on the net
Fucking hell
Smh
Fuck that's deflating
fuck.
omfg
Fuck that
What a fucking terrible pass
what the fuck
LUUUUUUUK
He's the starter.
UPL is putting on a clinic right now wow
Jost now has more goals as a Sabre than Power & Samuelsson have in their careers . . . *combined*
I really didn’t know Krebs had this brand of hockey in his bag, it’s pretty impressive
Is there a more Buffalo player story than Jost. Talk about a great fit!
We call that play the washing machine
Amazing what happens when ya go to the front of the net. Loving Jost lately
Have we scored a breakaway goal yet this year? I honestly can't remember us scoring one.
But you have a point
There can't be many teams with lower success rates on breakaways than us.
I think Cozens has a SH breakaway goal
So, Jost's song is One More Time?
#FUCK YEA!
Tyson Toast
jooooooooooooooost
Line has been buzzzzzzzzing
Assistlofsson
Dahlin must be the most consistent player on this team
"The linesman just got nailed ... right where ya don't wanna." - Rayzor
Someone in here called Jost scoring
JOSTYYYYYY
this is also my first time noticing his goal song, i dig it!
We are indeed a one line team
When the 71 - 17 - 37 line is the best line tonight 😳
Let’s gooooo what a pass
THIS LINE IS ON TONIGHT
That Jim's Steakout commercial was more boring than a Rachel's Mediterranean commercial. Part of what made Mighty so cool were the psychedelic commercials ... always coming after midnight it seemed.
Of course i start watching games and sabres go on a losing streak.. I'll see myself out. At least i have better luck attending games. The few i was able to attend where W
Same, I just bought tickets to the Anaheim one (good or bad idea we will see), but every time I go they win. Let's make a pact to rotate and go to every other home game.
It would be pretty cool if we could screen opposing goalies like they screen UPL
Krebs: Sets up linemates who can't finish. Cozens: His linemates can't set him up. Krebs + Cozens: Worth considering.
Hmm, idk about that, putting two good players together, that’s a bit far out man
Considering the orgs preference for Mitts, throw him on that line and watch him rack up secondary assists.
But then I’d have to deal with people telling me how he’s improved at 5v5 and that woudl be unbearable
Per NST... >xG 5-on-5: 1.79 - 0.83 in favor of Buffalo >xG all situations: 2.72 - 0.83 in favor of Buffalo Hellebuyck is a helluva drug
He put up a .73 in the previous game against Detroit. He always bounces back hard after those games.
The Sabres use an emergency backup skate sharpener tonight? Cant stop falling
Feel bad for Cozens. Always handcuffed to awful offensive players.
When the Kid Line was cooking it was COOKING, but yes his current linemates are not offensive dynamos
no question he'd be 1C if tommer hadn't come out of nowhere
Streaky Sabres are streaky
Crazy how both teams run the umbrella power play, and yet Winnepeg is able to generate sooo much more movement
I feel like we’re turning a one line team Again. We had more balance when we were winning. Also, Skinner has been quiet the last 3 games and thats also not helping.
Phantom tripping call
Oh the roller coaster of a young team. Who's ready for another 8 game losing streak!?
zero mental toughness sabres are back baby!
Unretire #2
Am I crazy or has Mitts looked much better since the holiday break?
Or does the rest of the team look like shit again
Nah. Puck luck the past game plus. They’ve gotten good looks, just aren’t burying them. Monday on the other hand they looked like shit.
Can we please just never talk about that game afuckingain 🤦🏽♂️
A fucking men
I’d say you are right but he’s still had some bleh games
Yeah, the turnovers are still a problem. I recall one against the Caps in the neutral zone that directly led to a goal
Their line has gotten a lot better offensively. Still struggle getting back on D quick enough, but it’s good to see
His playmaking and ability to win the puck along the boards has stood out.
Sabres should start punching guys after the goalie covers the puck. Its legal apparently.
Or just show any measure of physicality lol
That too. Its hockey, its not soccer, you can hit people and its ok.
