2-1 Shootout loss.

 

[Cirris]

Sabres shouldn't be thrilled after how Tuesday's game ended. They need to light these guys up 4-2.

If not, they need a brow beating. Carolina isn't that good. The Sabres are relatively healthy now. There's no excuses anymore.

 

[Nibbler]

Jack needs to get back on the scoresheet

Lehner back in goal tonight.

Lehner back in goal tonight.

Sounds like Carrier our, Des in. Ehh. Also Jack watching 1st PP unit is interesting.

Multi-point game from Eichel incoming. Sabres fall behind early and then Cam Ward does Cam Ward things. 4-2, good guys.

Can I complain about bylsma now or should I just not worry about it since des is a just a 4th liner bit player?

Boooo. Des was only ever really good for hitting, and he's stopped even doing that. He just skates by guys half the time now rather than finishing his checks. No way should he be playing when we've got 12 other healthy forwards.

 

[Myllz]

Rotating guys in and out is fine, but Des shouldn't be in the rotation.

To be fair, he hasn't really played much hockey fully healthy.

While I don't necessarily care for him to be in the lineup, let's not blanket his poor performance last game - in which he wasn't physical - to mean he can't hit or won't hit anymore.

And you still have Jake Bean and Hadyn Fleury on the way

Even sexier. That's how you build to win!

Deep Defense with no scoring = Nashville 2.0.

There is a thing called trades. A young top 4 D is a major asset around the NHL.

 

[Aladyyn]

Is Carrier hurt/sick?

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

A mostly healthy and somewhat rested team. Any excuse for not winning this game?
