That felt soul crushing...

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Probably for the best at this point

We're getting another Lotto pick, I can feel it!

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Between the refs and Scandella what can we do?

 

[gallagt01]

"Culture."

 

[Ralonzo]

Dahlin is a -3

Two rushes up the ice where his teammates stupidly turned it over and an empty net. I’m not overly concerned

It did.
Eichel seems to be the only one who gives a f***.

 

[MagnumForce2]

On the positive.., Ticket prices should drop on Stub Hub and Seat Geek

 

[oldgoalie]

WTF. I would have given Ullmark tonight and next game and let Hutton have Carolina and Detroit. Hutton still seems shaky as hell, and I don't want Kane, showing off in his home town, anywhere near Hutton in net.

I could see this coming a f***ing mile away. Told ya, Phil, you ass.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

I don't know what to say.

 

[sufferer]

I applaud you for still having a soul for up to this point.

Never too late for Scanny to get on the scoresheet. Primary assist there!

It was literally Bogosians fault on three of the minuses and an empty net. Dahlin didn't look great, but it was far from on him.

if theres a game that warrants big change, this is it botts

 

[Chainshot]

Kicking off the most important stretch of hockey for their season with a complete drubbing by one of the worst teams in the league. That's so Sabres. That? That is their identity.

 

[Buffaloed]

I guess we'll see Hunwick in for Dahlin next game.

MOAR Elie!!

Botts was on WGR saying how much he has liked how they have played lately soooo

f*** out of here, send a 2nd to florida and grab Brassard

It's a situation where Botts big head is so far up his ass he can't see the shit thru the pile of poop

 

[CarlWinslow]

Hutton was less than great. Ullmark is the better goalie at this point IMO.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Well, he's clearly in the minority with that opinion.

 

[Steddy33]

Botts was on WGR saying how much he has liked how they have played lately soooo

What he said was absolutely nothing. A whole bunch of blah blah blah. A bunch of GM speech. Absolutely pointless interview

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

This game was lost in the 2nd. IMO.

So let's look at this one and Dallas as 60 minute total packages. The Sabres play solid hockey in spurts in each game. But overall, don't exhibit the discipline, physical and mental fortitude to play a full 60.

Botts has to be seeing this. And needs to acknowledge that Housely is incapable of getting that kind of commitment from this set of players.

Something needs to change. I.e.; different players or a different coach? Maybe both....

Early in the season folks were asking....... "Are the Sabres for real?"

The answer is "Yes. But what version are you referring to?"

It's better than last year but the ship is taking on water again.....

This keeps up, I predict Skinner doesn't sign.....
