GDT: Bolts @ Sabres 12:30 PM EST TV:MSG Radio:WGR550 Let's Catch Lightning and Win 3 in a Row

[Ehran]

When your color guy says you're "unable to solve Johansson" you know you sucked ass today.

 

[debaser66]

sorry to say but they play like a bunch of losers

 

[dortt]

This is not a team that can win the big game

Our shooters are showing themselves to be chokers. Not able to convert in key games. They'll start scoring in march when they make a heroic run to 10th place

 

[Steddy33]

Tage Thompson is now Jeff Skinner without the goal scoring. Impressive

 

[Ace]

Playing against the stripes when it comes to Tampa is just matter of course.

At least it’s a meaningless game in another lost season and not an important playoff game where a ref with a history of screwing Buffalo was ”randomly assigned”

 

[Sabre the Win]

I don't even know anymore with this team.

 

[toddkaz]

The team is still a mess. PP is still the same. PP is gonna cost this team the playoffs.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Thompson floating on his last skate yet hes the extra skater. Stupid

Yep...you think Trotz would've put him out there after being the worst player on the ice all game?

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

When your color guy says you're "unable to solve Johansson" you know you sucked ass today.

Disagree. I think TB had a solid defensive structure and Johansson rose to the occasion. We plaid well, just not well enough.

 

[Matt Ress]

Power with the zero effort save on the EN

 

[Ace]

I don't even know anymore with this team.

They change nothing. Figuring out why nothing ever changes is the easiest thing in the world.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

When your color guy says you're "unable to solve Johansson" you know you sucked ass today.

The Sabres love making career backups look like perennial Vezina contenders.

 

[slip]

Well that was predictable. *sigh*

Thought they played well for what I've watched but turnovers from the top guys put them down two.

And then zero offensive production from top guys ends the game down 2.

Damn you Kyle Okposo!

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Power with the zero effort save on the EN

Yeah that was pathetic ... Power has no killer instinct

 

[toddkaz]

Tampa player loses his stick in Tage's legs and no call

 

[joshjull]

As an aside. The NHL really promotes a garbage product with the officiating we get.

 

[dortt]

Tage Thompson is now Jeff Skinner without the goal scoring. Impressive

Tage should have been traded in the offseason when his value was as high as it would ever be. Could have plugged numerous holes that we have.

We have a problem of falling in love with and over valuing our players. Let another team over value them for once

 

[Ace]

back to the drawing board.

and by that I mean Kevyn’s nap time.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Sounds like I made a good decision to work for the 19th straight day instead of watching

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

This team makes beer league mistakes nightly. Passing to the body, not the stick. To the wrong hand. Positioning all over the place…the list goes on

There are plenty of games to criticize but I don’t think this is one of them. Every team makes mistakes through a full game. Tampa really capitalized off those mistakes and then locked it down.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Just a slog of a team to watch. This season has been brutal

 

[dortt]

As an aside. The NHL really promotes a garbage product with the officiating we get.

The NHL is not a sport. It is sports entertainment, just like pro wrestling

 

[oldgoalie]

As an aside. The NHL really promotes a garbage product with the officiating we get.

Preach on, brother.
glad to say I didn’t bother with this one at all, knowing full well this team wouldn’t show up.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Can't beat even remotely good teams ... glad we can beat San Jose and lottery teams. We're barely above their level and should be in our prime as a team. What a disastrous season.

 

[BFLO]

I see benson is still getting the rookie treatment when it comes to the refs?

I think that's his 4th phantom penalty for going near the paint this season.

Refs see a Buffalo rookie going near the opponents net? Penalty

Refs see opponents whacking at our goalie? Never a penalty
