Tage was the only one that played even remotely decent. Power and Tuch actively hurt us tonight. Dahlin is not the same player, back to Krueger levels of refusing to activate offensively.

The Sabres found success last season playing this style, but a season later, the league has figured out how to play against this team. You just need to slow them down when they wind up, you just need to get in the passing lanes and pressure the player handling the puck into turing the puck over. There is no support of the puck, there is no dump and retrieve the puck in the ozone. The league has adjusted and the Sabres and Granato are not evolving.

Power on for all the goals against tonight. Heh.
Good thing Donny has a lot of options!

If he wants Power and Joki to play fewer minutes, with Sammy hurt, he basically has no options besides overloading Dahlin or Bryson.

He’s being given too few quality, experienced players to work with. I truly don’t think any coach can make playoffs with this roster

This team just wants nothing to do with hard work

It's like they don't realize how easy they are to defend against, keep two defenseman back, clog the middle, wait for the sabres to be impatient and not work. Get odd man and high danger chances at will

They need to go back to playing pond hockey because somehow Donnie's system has made this team worse and boring

Will fix everything
After two very strong games, this stinker is disheartening.

Speed/skill team that doesn’t pressure and apparently has forgotten how to pass
