>Last meaningful game of the year. Time to stick it to our rival and maybe luck out on a few games and make the playoffs.
Shut out with a 3-0 final, Matthews scores 60, 0/6 on power play, and the only fight all night was a brawl with half the team in Turks and Caicos and the other half in the Bahamas with Zach Benson the only one still in Buffalo because he cant afford a trip yet and has to house sit for Dahlin
If Adams doesn’t have the guts to fire the entire coaching staff he needs to be fired right along with them.

The lack of Sabres fans tonight was embarrassing. Buffalo should be ashamed by that showing, I thought it was in Toronto by the sounds of it.
This fanbase is really something else.
If we’re going to suck at least get some enforcers lol
I’ll welcome the influx of downvotes with this but Moneypuck has the xGoals tonight 4-2 in our favor. We didn’t play a bad game, we just couldn’t capitalize on the chances we generated, and we did generate quite a bit. Incredibly frustrating but they ironically played better tonight than they did last night or against Calgary, both games they won.
Fuck the power play though, that shit sucks.

Welp. That’s that fellas. Til next season.
ESPN is a hockey terrorist
Well at least 9-3 was fun
Alexa, play “Better Days” by the GooGoo Dolls
Unless something drastically changes this franchise won’t be in Buffalo anymore by 2040.
The fact that Donny wasn’t fired months ago is absolutely bizarre. I’m not watching next year if Donny is still “coaching” this team.
Make Benson the captain next season. He’s the only one that gives a fuck it seems
This lockerroom has to be nuked, along with coaching staff. This group is not going to be successful
0/6 on the fucking powerplay. That’s inexcusable.
This team’s front office is a joke. 0-6 on the PP this desperate in the season? Matt Ellis has been laughable for 9 months. Fuck the front office.
I didn’t care going into this game but I can’t help but feel embarrassed.
I get that fighting is all but gone from the game, but how do you have a line brawl where guys basically just dance with each other with maybe an occasional headlock for good measure. It was comical.
Got goalied. Hard to watch. Fuck you and see ya next year
I don’t think I’ve seen a team not know what to do when the puck gets on their stick more than this team..
F-I-R-E D-O-N-N-Y
Can’t wait to hear how scared Granato explains another pathetic game…
I hoped nobody booed those poor Sabres, they kept the Leafs off the board for almost FIVE minutes tonight!
Definitely doesn’t matter anymore, but Caps lost in a shootout. Missing this year is especially painful given how bad the teams around them are closing out the season.
Yeah I’m very much so of the mind that they can’t move forward with Donny. They just can’t find the next gear with this guy behind the bench.
If we could stop getting scored on the first 5 min of the game that would be great
13 years, KEEP IT COUNTING BOYS!!!
I can’t believe how horrendous our powerplay has been all season. This isn’t something that will just magically be better next season if something isn’t changed. Adams has to know that.
Let’s hope necessary changes are done in the off-season, but if nothing changes then I have no clue what the fuck is going on
Thanks to whoever bought my tickets for double the cost.
I don’t think they are mathematically eliminated yet, so we get to hear the players pretend they still have a chance still.
Should have started Eric Robinson
Look all joking aside, you have to actively TRY to be this consistently bad. Like I can’t say at what level the suck is being reinforced but at the very least I can say that, knowingly or not, Pegula/Adams/Granato/Ellis is making/allowing all the right moves to ensure this team remains in the same shitpit they all found it in. There is seemingly zero priority being put on genuinely improving this team at any level of the org. We all know the whole “insanity is the act of repeating the same action and expecting a different result” quote.
And so thusly I ask you, just what in that actual everloving choke-artistry fuck are you DOING, Buffalo?
Every year we miss the playoffs I think about all the things in my life I’ve accomplished in that time. Its partially comforting to know I’ve come far as a person, but also depressing to think that a professional sports franchise with 13 first round draft picks on their roster still hasn’t figured it out.
Is anyone defending Granato at this point besides Kevin Adams? The guy fucking sucks. The development, growing, hugs and kisses are over. Team needs someone that will chew their ass when they play like shit.
What do we do with Cozens? That boy is broken.
That’s probably their strongest 2nd game of a b2b all year. Nice to see the effort
I try really hard to be positive, but Jesus Christ. Out of any other game out there THESE are the games this franchise needs to win every single time. 85% of your home arena is packed to the gills with the opposing team so not only do you lay up a bagel but you also let Matthews score his 60th?
Fucking unacceptable in every way. Even the worst teams of the last 13 years know to show the fuck up for these Toronto games.
Sabres players sound like they’re crying in postgame pressers.
I’ve listened to a handful of these lately. The constant theme in the interviews is that no one sounds like he has _any idea_ how to fix anything. Ever.
That’s due to the words they use but it’s also the pauses, the monotones. The hard-to-measure emptiness of the responses. No one, including the coach exudes any confidence.
Why would anyone want to play or coach or manage here?
I’m less fervent a fan than I used to be (bc Sabres things and family things), but it’s sad right now anyway what’s happening w this org.
I don’t believe we need to ditch Pegula. He’s capable of success – look at the Bills. But I also don’t know what hirings or firings turn this ship around. It seems like that’s a long way off.
Here comes Granato now. I don’t even want to listen.
