3rd times a charm, right?
I HATE THE POWER PLAY
I HATE THE POWER PLAY
I HATE THE POWER PLAY
This power play is mindboggingly fucking shit. Fire Matt Ellis’ useless ass into the goddamn sun.
I swear only this team can turn an OZ faceoff win into an offside instantly
Time to promote Matt Ellis, powerplay is thing of beauty
Are we allergic to taking shots in the slot?
It’s kind of depressing that if we had just an average powerplay we’d be at least competing for a playoff spot
Lol their power play makes me laugh a lot. At this point I just use it as comedic relief
How does Matt Ellis still have a job?
Why are the Sabres on national tv?
“That’s an awkward looking zone entry.”
Yep that’s how we roll here in Buffalo.
This is some wild Okposo propaganda.
“How rare is it to have a fourth line captain”
Lmao
🙁
Skinner is playing fucking awful
I wonder if there are any soccer executives Pegula has on his radar to replace Granato.
Is it that difficult to control a pass with the other side of the blade? We looked like 9 year olds there
Don’t have to have any control of your stick I guess 🤷♂️
Sabres have effort but lacking in confidence with the puck. It should be 4-2 Sabres but of course it isn’t. Making Blues look better than they are.
These national games can go suck a fuck. I want to hear Rayzor insult someone’s mother, not these jabronis.
Remember how good Peterka – Cozens – Quinn looked for like 3 games? I am dead inside.
The fact that they’re this disjointed and unorganized in their 52nd game tells you all you need to know about how this coaching staff has to go.
I’ve seen more structure on random beer league Thursday nights.
At least we can stop pretending this team is like Uber talented, now, right?
They are just a normal hockey team that is poorly coached
Ottawa behind by 6 points, 4 games in hand. Bottom 5 in sight!
Debating if I should leave the arena.. This snooze fest is putting me to sleep if it wasn’t for the screaming children
