GDT: Rangers at Sabres: 7PM start

[truthbluth]

This is the sort of loss that could really get in their heads.

It’s f***ing in mine. I will be taking the day off Sunday. What a flaming turd.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Missed most of period and turned it on at 4-2.

Rewound to watch Okposo tussle and was sick to my stomach watching him get staggered

Hmm when i watched live i thought it was just a hilarious joke fight

Looked again..

Okposo got smoked, he didnt play again either

 

[Dubi Doo]

Not sure goaltending is as solidified as most of us believe? They've been bad for a while now. I mean...the whole team has been underwhelming, but the goaltending seems to get overlooked by most of us.

 

[Chainshot]

Lose for Hughes?

He was concussed, for sure.

 

[sabremike]

The result of an 8th straight playoff miss can not be a 3rd straight season of Housley.

Prepare to be disappointed. In every single way from ownership on down we are completely as big an embarrasment to professional hockey as the Oilers.

 

[GameMisconduct]

Sobotka is pretty reliable. Putting him out there always renders the same result.

Yep. He's regular like metamucil and produces the same outcome.

 

[Buffaloed]

The good news is Eichel's no move clause doesn't take effect until 2022-23

Yeah, it was sad to see. I want the guy off the team, but you never want to see a guy get staggered like that, especially one wearing the blue and gold.

 

[kirby11]

Well I'm glad I missed this one.

So the big difference next year is that since management has decided winning at the NHL level will finally be a priority, it will magically happen?

 

[CrazyPsycho]

He was concussed, for sure.

He was bleeding from the mouth too

 

[GellMann]

The five points that knocked the 2018-2019 Buffalo Sabres out of the playoffs: Cam Ward - The Carolina Hurricanes - Jimmy Vesey

effing christ wtf

It's fairly likely they miss by more than 5 pts

 

[sufferer]

Lafreniere is a winger

Damn. We might need that, too.

 

[ForsbergMoDo21]

I actually hated Sobotka more than Sheary on the 4th goal. He stood still forever just to avoid getting in the shooting lane, and then managed to avoid the passing lane to the guy on the doorstep too. He had so much time you could see the wheels turn in his head and him think and decide I’m not gonna get in front of this shot.

 

[SackTastic]

The Okposo situation is exactly what the NHL needs to address. Players should not have to fight after a clean, hard hit.

On the replay, there was some guy's head in the way. But I saw it live...Okposo got popped real good.

It's the consistent dedication to expending as little energy as possible that makes me dislike him as much as I've ever disliked a Sabres player.

[jd1970]

The Sabres are soft...like Flamingo Phil was when we dumped him for Hawerchuk.

 

[Intermission]

Some of the best hockey I have seen all year

They did better..

They missed a couple of great chances before that though.

They got flogged at the end..

This team has no fire...have never really been one to point fingers but when you look at Housley behind the bench...its almost a reflection of what I am seeing on the ice.

They got fire.. but they played with the fire..

 

[kirby11]

And yet because of the 10 game winning streak he'll probably be here through next November or December. Hockey heaven right here.

 

[toomuchsauce]

good point. I was being overly dramatic, trying to play up narratives - but yeah, ultimately this team is trash

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

6 - 2 loss. Pretty much puts the final nail in any playoff hopes as far as I can see.

I didn't think the Sabres were very good defensively for much of the game. Ullmark was not radiating confidence out there.
Buffalo forwards could not finish - other than Skinner and his shot selection went to pot in the later stages of the 3rd.
These guys really weren't ready to play. That's been a consistent outcome this season. Doesn't reflect well on the team's leadership IMO.

Eichel is supposed to put this team on his back and wasn't able to do so.
Hopefully he grows into the role in the near future.

Nah, I think he'll get canned.

 

[sabremike]

Someone tweet that to a certain Housley appologist in the local media.
