GDT: Gee Dee Tee - Anaheim at Buffalo, 12:30 EST

[CaliSabresfan24]

They were both bad but neither of those chances should've been allowed to happen in the first place.

Gibson faced far more high danger chances and made more big stops but the turnovers and decision making with the puck didn't help either

 

[5 Minute Major]

UPL felt left out so he hopped on the fail train today.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Donnie come on man

 

[Ace]

That might be the most embarrassing quote yet.

Adams already runs his roster building on hope. Now its the coaches f***ing gameplan too.

Maybe he means after the deadline once Okposo girgensons and EJ are gone

Donnie come on man

They can’t walk chew gum at the same time. At this rate, it will take them years to get to where they were last year: A shitty team who can score some goals and be semi-entertaining. And that’s the peak that this franchise can achieve.

O/U: 7,000 total season tickets sold next season?

I'm taking the under.

In a perfect world it would be a big fat zero.

I thought they played well for the first two periods. For some reason were flat in the third. I know some of that was Anaheim clogging up the neutral zone but they didn't look like the cared that much.

 

[Howie Hodge]

Is it the players from all 13 years of ineptitude or the players who dressed today that yucked up a most winnable game today?

This team is unentertaing, and to be honest, somewhat unlikeable.

Or perhaps I'm being unreasonable, and it's all part of the learning curve....

-Sarcasm mode off.

 

[Ace]

I wish he meant anything. He doesn’t. He is out of answers and has been for months. 31 organizations would have fired him already in this position.

Did they salute the fans after this one?

In all seriousness I missed this one. Been a busy weekend with the birth of our first baby

Congrats! We could use good news more often in here

 

[JLewyB]

you cant throw away good goalie performances like they have because games like this happen. Our tank team won games exactly like the ducks just did. It happens. Some of Sabres other performances…can’t

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Got swept by Ducks .Great. Scoring will come back. Granato

 

[stealth1]

It's so strange how they tend to look so good on the road. They looked really good against Minnesota

 

[jd1970]

Give us your money snd shut up, dammit!

hey, congrats!

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Only watched the highlights but man it looked like EJ had a very rough game. Lost his man multiple times. I also hate the Okposo line blowing the d-zone early. Looks worse than the kid line in that regard.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

sigh

I mean, its obviously what the coaching staff is teaching them. It's the only conclusion at this point.

Yeah, I get that impression too, but it's one thing for a fast kid to blow the zone and another for Girgensons and Okposo to do it.

I wouldn't say they looked really good. They just found a way to make the plays when it mattered most, which is something they have done very little of this year.

 

[HOOats]

I get that results are what get recorded in the standings. But for a fanbase that's already written off whatever tiny chance the Sabres have to make the playoffs, why still agonize over wins & losses? Any victory is just a moral victory at this point.

We absolutely mashed a bad Ducks team today, 83% on the same deserve-to-win-o-meter that gets cited as gospel to detract from "undeserved" wins. Four braindead mistakes and some leaky goaltending cost us two standings points. Those two points are going to evaporate into the ether like all the other points in a season that sadly won't be remembered in detail.

A lot of the young players that I intend on supporting for years to come looked very good today. If you told me that one of Benson and Carlsson was the #2 overall pick last June, I would have had a difficult time guessing blind. JJ has the movements of an actual star at 22 imo. Cozens is back from the dead.

I know I can't argue people out of their own emotions, but I just didn't feel despair today. Disappointment sure, but I also understand why Don didn't commit seppuku at the urging of titans like Matt Bové and Mike Harrington postgame.
