I know, right? Like what was he watching?which is... exactly what they did in this game???
I’m not happy with the start to the season, but this is basically why I’m not worried yet. I really won’t worry unless we get to a spot where it is unrealistic for us to be at true/deluca .500 by about game 62. It is a loooonnnng season.Friendly reminder that in NFL schedule equivalence, we've played 1.24 of 17 games, with a record of 0.41-0.83. Don't think I see any x's or y's next to team's in the standings yet...
2:1 you say?Yes they out shot the habs 2:1, but would you say they made it hard on Allen tonight?
It ain't going to last if they continue getting outshot like they did tonight. Gritty team, though. They make it difficult around the net.Habs are 3-1-1
I think Tuch is just playing too lean he has a lower Body fat % than Boxers/MMA fighters cutting weight.Tuch hasn't looked good - I agree, you almost have to hope that he's injured so there's an excuse for looking so bad.
That's what every coach has said since the Bush administration. They don't go to the net and will never go to the net. We've seen it before.
We score 1 goal and you blame the goalie? Score 4 and lose and I am with you.Until the Sabres have a legit #1 goaltender it's just wheels spinning in mud. That game winner was pathetic

Looking for people to blame start here.
That actually paints the picture of how I felt the game went. It sure wasn't the gap that some Buffalo fans felt that we outplayed Montreal by, but it also wasn't the "sky is falling" sort of game some others are feeling.
They are such a perimeter team. Nobody likes the dirty areas.
Bad: Can't get to the net. Everyone watching the shooter hoping to see a pretty goal instead of playing hockey.
Donnie said after the game he didn't think that they went to the net hard enough.
There was a point in the 1st I think where the Sabres had 5v5 sustained pressure in the o-zone, kept working it around, back up top, etc. Even had a partial change maintaining possession. And I'm staring at the screen. Because there was 1 Sabre up top middle center essentially straddling the blue line. Two guys at each point one short stride (3-4') inside the blue line. And two guys high in the slot above the top (closer to the blue line) faceoff-hashes, one at each circle but close enough they could touch sticks. I'm not a vocal fan when watching, but I simply yelled out "SOMEONE GO TO THE NET"That's what every coach has said since the Bush administration. They don't go to the net and will never go to the net. We've seen it before.
The gap was probably bigger until about 10 mins left in the 3rd. They lost some of their mojo aftet the second goal, and the rest of it aftet Power whiffed on the shot on the PP. They played a solid game up until halfway through the 3rd, though they do need to drive the net more.That actually paints the picture of how I felt the game went.

That's what everyone said to Bills fans after the Jets game but guess what -- the sky was indeed falling.That actually paints the picture of how I felt the game went.

Stats via Natural Stat TrickPuck luck and a better goalie stole victory from a winning effort.
Play like that every game and they will win way more than they lose.
I'd say 5 mins into the 3rd period Buffalo really took a step back. Buffalo, I thought did outplay Montreal, but having the puck a lot and not doing much with it, especially not creating many high danger chances with it, doesn't do much for me in terms of who is winning the game.The gap was probably bigger until about 10 mins left in the 3rd.
