The shots were totally misleading. Boston had complete control of the game in the 3rd and was more than happy to let us take garbage shots that had absolutely no chance whatsoever of becoming goals and were basically just padding the total. Tonight was a complete and total embarrassment on every single level. Also yet another Phail Housley Home Loss tm.
Oh I know the shots were misleading and it was embarrassing in ways, but I think it’s because of our patience what we’ve been through with this team. Had the last few years not happened, and we just looked at this game objectively it really wasn’t as awful as some are making it sound though.
It’s a long season, I have no problem losing to a damn good team with probably the most underrated first line in hockey with Marchand averaging 90 pts a game and pastrnak on the rise, they were all minus two last night.
Hey got a great coach.
They were beyond ready. I think we had enough Juno that had a couple of our early chances gone in the game could of been different. But it wasn’t.
The second period was awful, that was dreadful but honestly i am not about to lose my mind over one game.
This game was so bad but I see talent in this team. More-so then I’ve seen in any sabres team in ten years and we played a top team in the east who wanted to get the bad taste out of their mouths and were humiliated, halak is one of those goalies who come out of no where and stings you he is 11-3 vs buffalo now. I mean had just one or two of those chances gone in it’s 3-1 or 3-2. The empty netter makes it look worse as does the booing off the ice and the fans being tired of losing.
Believe me I’ve been patient too. I’ve been a fan since 1992 born in 87 and that’s not as long as many of you but that’s still a long same time of suffering.
I just think we come back and beT the rangers 4-2 or something.
I won’t be all positive and excuses and sugar coating everything if we lose to them too.
But tonight? I saw some jump and I saw a team that literally got no puck luck st all. Should they of put a better game together, absolutely.
It’s just one game. And it’s not like we lost to a bad team for no reason. It was a great team and they had a damn good reason, I cringed when I saw them get blown out, you never want to play a team (if there good) after they get blown out. I’ve been around hockey long enough to know that. Especially if it’s the next day. When teams lose the whole trip home they can’t smile they can’t laugh, teams have motivation to win for that alone. No way they wanted to carry that sting and star 0-2, I thought Hutton was good not great but good enough. If we play. Better I think we do okay with him.
If anyone actually thought Boston losing like that last night was good for us, I’d want to check if they were sane.
