  1. This hurts. Comrie deserved that win so damn much.

  2. xBialyOrzel

    Putting Olofsson out 1st in the shootout was certainly a choice.

  3. i_identify_as_natty

    They really let Conroe down tonight. Brutal.

  4. Icommentoncrap

    Incredible first game for Rousek and a good game for Comrie as well, especially with that shootout performance. Some great physicality tonight but the game was far from perfect and we gotta take our point and hope for the best

  5. VGTGreatest

    Mind-boggling how a team of young, high-skill high-speed players is so completely awful in the shootout. It makes no sense.

  6. well at least comrie didn’t get completely undressed like UPL in the shootout lmao.

  7. Sgt-Pumpernickel

    That OT penalty was still straight ass and that ref should be suspended a game

  8. DenverCoder009

    Beat a tanking team to keep your hopes alive challenge sabres edition…

  9. aaaaaliyah

    Man that kids Tiger Williams celly to the lower deck Habs fans… just the cherry on top, fuck me. Also they called that a cross check in OT, that was truly awful reffing

  10. Burger-Feast

    I’m sorry but these are NHL players…. Can someone explain why the fuck every one of them glides in slowly and throws a wrist shot right at the goalie or wide of the net?? FFS

  11. Lugy_The_Meh

    Garbage S/O attempts by everyone except Quinn. I get that not everybody is a wizard but jesus.. shots from just below half on the circle right at Allen??? gtfo

  12. BloonsSniper88

    We cannot play a shootout to save our lives

  13. I’ll be back tomorrow with the playoffs scenario for Tuesday.

    Bummer a game but even like razor said at the end of the night a point is better than no points.

  14. ykcin978

    9 games to gain 5 points

    Just win

    April 4th vs Florida is the season

  15. trippyEDM

    I know they have to end the game somehow but…. Shootouts annoy me in more ways than one. No one did it but when people come in at a snails pace it doesn’t impress me. I think there should be a trailing defender that starts at the top of the circle or something. Other things idk how they fix. Get rid of it I guess.

  16. Kevinn_Yeah

    I don’t understand how we had that many shooters in the shootout and managed not to use Dahlin.

  17. churrosRyummy55

    Complain all you want about the shootout being fake hockey (which it is) and our guys being so plain in thier attempts during the deking competition. A team that can shutout NYI and beat NJ should’ve never come close to OT against the Habs.

  18. SamHinkieKnew

    Honestly, it would probably behoove Granato to call out the refereeing publicly. They’ve gotten screwed a lot with calls, presumably because they’re considered a non-physical team, and clearly barking on the bench isn’t doing anything.

  19. Dr3aMWeav3r

    That has to be the worst effort I’ve seen by an entire team of shooters in the shootout. Just cruising in taking pot shots. This ain’t fucking warm up boys. And that wraps a nice bow on the season.

  20. china-boy-tom

    If a man puts a gun to my head and says “you’ll live if the sabres win a shootout” tell my momma I ain’t making it home

  21. Sabres8127

    Not going with Dahlin or Skinner was a bad call for the shootout.

  22. BananaInPajama7

    When are penalties going to be challengeable

  23. sarcastic_man_13

    I am completely at a loss on Granato’s shootout lineup… UPL isn’t in the net so we actually have a shot in the shootout and he trots out that lineup…

  24. UncleOrton

    There’s the 1 OT loss in our 8-1-1 finish

  25. incaseshesees

    Comrie played great – his left leg pad definitely deserves first star.

    Man, we really needed that win, that sucks, but it was exciting af, I was on the edge of my seat. Nice to feel that way this late in the year. So points, looks like our highest possible ceiling is 95 points, which is normally 7 or 8th. I don’t think we’ll sneak in, who knows but I’ll be watching.

  26. Sonny_Zwack

    Stillman said he drive Rousek to the game tonight. They’re not being put up at Harborcenter?

  27. WorthPlease

    He guys, what if we just, try shooting right into his pads again? You think that will work?

    Meanwhile the first guy to try and go high wins it. Why are we so scared to challenge a goalkeepers glove or blocker?

  28. Blockbuster22

    Tell me you don’t practice shootouts without telling me you don’t practice shootouts. That was rough.
