GDT: MTL @ BUF - 7pm TV: NHLN/MSG+/SN1 Radio:WGR - Quest for .500

They lost the lad with that last one. I'm not far from it either.

Same here. I think I’m done with Buffalo sports for a while.

 

[Matt Ress]

There's some really big talent at the top of the draft

 

[stokes84]

Game turned on Comrie letting in the softie. Get a goalie.

 

[MOGlLNY]

“what are we gonna do?? Play rookies who can’t play defense? That’s why we kept Okposo!”

I was of this mind but am now fully convinced I’d absolutely rather have Kulich or Savoie out there. Or both!

 

[Mr Orangeshirt]

Crackin' For Macklin?

 

[Ace]

Cheer up guys.

We get to travel to an Ottawa team that has been off for two days and play UPL tomorrow.

 

[sabremike]

This team needs a legitimate NHL quality coach and staff who have the chops to get it done in this league.

Simple as.

 

[CowbellConray]

Gotta hope the luck gets on our side here. Allen stopping 36 isn’t sustainable for the Canadians, and us scoring 1 goal isn’t the average either.

Have to hope we continue to push

 

[Chainshot]

Same here. I think I’m done with Buffalo sports for a while.

If it isn't already clear, I couldn't give two shits about the Bills. This is all I have left. And it's not fun.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

So Tuch and Power are deservedly getting criticized, but what's the alternative?

Bryson and one of Kulich/Rosen/Rousek/someone else?

For all our vaunted depth, I'm not seeing it.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Game turned on Comrie letting in the softie. Get a goalie.

Or maybe the game turned on the Sabres getting ~50 chances in the 2nd period and burying 0 of them. Not that that would fit your talking point.

 

[Beerz]

Fuxk your vibes, Kevyn

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Not really they got outplayed skater wise pretty heavily.

Nothing I observed is incorrect. Yes, the Sabres got out worked and out skated but They do not have a COMPRABLE DEFENSIVE SYSTEM to what Montreal has installed.

I've been a long standing fan of Granato but the defensive vacuum has existed far too long.

 

[Ralonzo]

Could this week get any worse?
<Goes off to pour martini, out of gin>
<Le sigh>
<Switches to ESPN, Berman with Bills highlights>

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Got goalied. Sabres controlled most of the game, but credit where it's due... Allen played great.

 

[oldgoalie]

If it isn't already clear, I couldn't give two shits about the Bills. This is all I have left. And it's not fun.

Yeah, I heard ya.

Sabres haven’t been fun for over a decade and a half.

 

[Chainshot]

“what are we gonna do?? Play rookies who can’t play defense? That’s why we kept Okposo!”

I was of this mind but am now fully convinced I’d absolutely rather have Kulich or Savoie out there. Or both!

I mean, we'd know why the GA was happening with Kulich out there since he is Skinner level defensively in Rochester right now. I'm having a hard time justifying spending time on them any longer.

 

[Chainshot]

Yeah, I heard ya.

Sabres haven’t been fun for over a decade and a half.

I would say outside of the Super Bowl years, the Bills have in my lifetime been far worse and less fun than the Sabres in that same span.

 

[stokes84]

Or maybe the game turned on the Sabres getting ~50 chances in the 2nd period and burying 0 of them. Not that that would fit your talking point.

Comrie didn’t have to do anything tonight, and he didn’t do enough.

I always wonder how the **** no one in the building has ever thought of maybe upgrading from Matt Ellis as one of their primary assistant coaches

 

[Fezzy126]

Comrie didn’t have to do anything tonight, and he didn’t do enough.

This is certainly a take

 

[Willgamesh]

I miss Lindy.

 

[kirby11]

Kevyn and co. better hope all kumbaya vibes BS turns around soon

 

[Zman5778]

Game turned on Comrie letting in the softie. Get a goalie.

Nah. The game turned on that PP shift where Tage basically killed Savard and we couldn't score.

I swear the air came out of the entire team all at once after that.....we looked lethargic AF after that.

Donnie/Kevyn have built some good vibes when things are going good...........but this team hasn't grown a whole lot mentally when the going is tough (and by going, I mean when they're not scoring at will).

 

[HOOats]

Yeah, I heard ya.

Sabres haven’t been fun for over a decade and a half.

Except the season just before this current one. But who's counting.

He came up with Adams running the HarborCenter concession stand. Some bonds are hard to break, blood in blood out.
