The Sabres allow 10 goals to the Stars, the second most in franchise history, in maybe the worst game of the season. Sneaky Joe tries to make sense of how that happened, including finger pointing at the forwards’ defensive game, strength of competition, and the goaltending.
Joe makes the case that Eric Comrie should never play for the Sabres again, despite his being let down by Don Granato.

Boos are understandtable.
I'm in the camp of these kids need to learn how to sustain the level of play over an 82 game season, I think they blew their fuse early and are now burnt out in the end. They will learn how to page themselves better over an 82 game season next year, they are young and unfortunately dumb and need more time to grow and develop and learn
That was awful to watch. Simply awful!
I think Granato was punishing the whole team for quitting again. He wants the players mad at him and not each other
I don't think we have the time to wait for Levi. We need a good goalie now. Someone we can sign for 3 or 4 years. That's if Levi even wants to be here.
It's the turnovers.. They're killing us … U want my homest opinion .. I honestly think .. If you look at the surges the Sabres have made, all coinside with Alex Tuch in the game .. Its not his play, which is great, but I think we are missing his great attitude on the bench
Dude .. With 25 to 30 games left … You never know what could happen.. .
Is Levi gonna do what Power did .. And come up fer a Lil bit at the end of the season… After his collage year stuff ends??
Adams needs to sign a UFA goalie for next season( Korpisalo LA, Varlemnov NYI, Andersen Carolina , Reimer SJ Cam Talbot Ott) to play along side UPL as im pretty sure Devon Levi will need a year in Rochester. Levi, and Subban or Comrie in Rochester.
Secondly, Adams needs to hire new D coach as the d zone coverage is BRUTAL! Speaking of coaching also promote Michael Peca from Rochester assistant coach to Buffalo assistant coach !
Lastly sign a veteran UFA defensive d man to partner Owen Power as he needs this type of partner and not a soft Offensive one like Jokiharju. Some up incoming UFAs are… Scott Mayfield NYI, Ranko Gudas FLA, Mat Dumba Minn, Troy Stetcher Cal, Gavrikov LA Carson Soucy Seattle , Justin Holl Tor and Luke Schenn Tor. Please please also trade Bryson !
No the playoff race isn't over, there is 18 games to go
Lol 10 4 poor sabres ☹️
I hope they make playoffs this year though.
you know Joe is a legend when you see this Hoodie 😀
Pull him after 9-3? Glad you’re not the coach lok
Sabres need to stop the 3 goalie rotation now. Leave it to UPL and Anderson. Comrie is just not good at all. Sabres a few players short of a real good playoff team. We need another top 4 Dman Jokijarjhu is not it and a Goalie like Demko for 3 yeard at the very least can help them get to the playoffs at the very least til Levi Arrives. As these kids rise up they need a Goalie to do the same.
Its been over a year I keep saying the Sabres needed to trade for a goalie, every body was like nan they need to stick to the plan and wait for levi blablabla 😂 look at them, missing the playoff while scoring 4+ goals almost every night 💁😅
It basically feels like the end of the season, so end of season thoughts:
Heard you on WGR this morning talking about are the Sabres a good team and the Caps and Wings who around them are not. I feel like they are a good team but have 0 depth. If anyone first line, Cozens, Dahlin, Power or Sammy goes down, this team is not in good shape. Really shows who's expendable though. Hopefully next year we maybe see Quinn/Peterka and Greenway have the same importance.
If they lose to the Rangers and Leafs these next two games, I'd like to see the guys who've been playing through nagging injuries sit the rest of the season (Dahlin and TNT). There might be a name im forgetting. Maybe see what some guys in Rochester have like Kulich and Biro. Make sure you tell them no pressure, just go out there and have fun.
the stars stood in front of Comrie unabated a few times but there were at least 4 stops he should've made. Don't really expect playoffs for a couple to a few more seasons
TBH at 5 goals for, we needed to switch. We needed to change momentum for the team and we definitely could of won the game if we did that. You need to do something, we do not have it in us to turn momentum. The coach needs to do something to spur it. Instead of the next 4 goals happening. We stonewall their offense which turns into confidence.
Jeff skinner is so under appreciated. No one has ever said a bad word about him. Great production, loyal, great team Mate , loves buffalo stuck around and never quits. Hope he sees a playoff run in a Sabres jersey one day
No they didn't quit, they didn't show up. Granato has let this become acceptable. Kevin Adams is at fault too. He said growth will come within over the next 2 years. So obviously they are saying give us another 2 years of losing. They continually make excuses. Losing is acceptable in Buffalo. Fans should keep the building empty until they get serious about winning. I guess we should be happy the total collapse didn't happen in November as per usual. Its all about the draft lottery now. Let's go Bedard.
