Let down by a number of players today - EJohnson played poorly, UPL was leaky, Thompson scored but also gave away a goal and missed on a couple of glorious chances, Skinner continues to be MIA.
Every one of the Anaheim goals was the result of an inexcusable mental error.

Happy for the loss because they deserve to lose.

Barry Trotz canceled a team trip because they had a bad practice. You can’t do that in Buffalo because they would just request a trade, or demand an extreme premium to stay. When you’ve been this bad for this long, there’s no leaving the bottom.

Plenty of chances, but they then fell apart in key ways and couldn’t muster a clutch goal for the life of ‘em.

We’re racing towards Celebrini, lotta skill shown but still no system. Ah well, next time!
Donny tried to teach them defense but they wouldn't listen so he gave up. Top notch coach right there.

It really is kinda like they just free-flowed last year, then Donny kinda tried a thing. Then he realized he has no clue how to actually make it work, now they’re back to pond hockey. Maybe that’s just cause it’s the Ducks, heyooo!

Krebs' line with 4-0 advantage at HDC's and 11-2 SDC advantage.

Seems like the stat line illustrates what I could hear about their play. Hope they continue to get runway.

Nice to see that now that he’s gotten positive press clippings, UPL also cannot handle reading them. A nice showing of solidarity with the rest of the team.

Day one. Game one. The Rangers clogged Granato’s zone entries and he has never figured out how to beat it. We are 3/4 through a season and he hasn’t found an answer to the first question. He is a disaster.

Its amazing that the GM, coach and players said at the start of the season the goal was playoffs. Then play games like this, put themselves in a bottom feeder spot and get upset that the fans boo or want to coaching change... Such a f***ing soft organization..

Substandard goaltending didn't help them today. They lost the game primarily on the difference between what Gibson stopped and what Luukkonen didn't stop today. Either of his leakers being stopped changes this to at least OT, both puts it into a probable Sabres win.
They were both bad but neither of those chances should've been allowed to happen in the first place.
