  1. This Godamn team is literally comprised of 1st round draft picks……..meanwhile our prospect pool is full of high tier 1st & 2nd round draft picks.

    Probably drafting top 10 again this upcoming draft – trades are probably going to be needed now at this point; who goes??

  2. I was at the game. The first period was something we've seen over and over and over. I hardly moved in my seat in the second period, not even for Dahlin's goal. Suddenly, in the third period, we played like it was a do-or-die playoff game. It was just too little too late. Our team defense is totally rotten. Benson never quits. Mittelstadt played hard. Krebs sticks his nose in. Okposo never quits. Skinner was a monster out there. It took the Sabres getting pissed to show up. I saw Detroit throw elbows and take other cheap digs. The Wings played with the kind of grit we should show night in and night out. Thompson makes a difference out there, but he tries to do too much. Dahlin makes a difference and also sometimes holds onto the puck too long. Comrie was atrocious on a couple of those goals. Not impressed with Samuelsson tonight.

  3. The Sabres suck.
    GMKA needs to change his ways.
    I've been saying for about 6 months now… WE NEED A VETERAN GOALTENDER!!!
    Where is our offense???
    I'm thinking if the coach & GM don't get their shit together, they need to go!!!!

  4. Just like our captian the sabres are trying to lead this team from the rear instead of getting a leader on the first or second line to be an example. This team needs someone to follow not a 4th liner to watch. Is the entire team inspired to play like 4th liners, sure looks like it. Accountability is on leadership and coaching and management, this team is the same team from last year almost they are capable of better

  5. I don’t think they started Levi because they were afraid of sending him mixed messages. “We’re sending you to the minors to work on your game, we’re going to start you in the first game we call you back up and then send you back down again”.

    I honestly believe that by sending Levi down, they’re letting UPL and Comrie fight it out and force the Sabres to keep them. They NEED to move someone (or BOTH), so let them battle it out and let Levi develop until the dust settles.

  6. I loved that they mounted a great comeback but the terrible start is just too much to bare. This losing streak may extend to last years 8 games. The next 6 games will be very tough.

  7. Slow starts are killing us. Donny Meatballs needs to work the boys harder in practice. We continue to allow teams to push us around to start the game. By time we get to our game its too late.

  8. Eric Cormie needs to go enough of this 3 goalie BS. If the season continues like this. Frigg it start Matthew Savoie, Jiri , Rosen, Levi the rest of the year. Owen power needs to benched in place of Ryan Johnson or put him on the 3rd pairing. I cant wait for Tuch & Quinn to return.

  9. Cozens can't find the back of the net againnnn just like year one. He is a huge part of our missing offensive fire power.

  10. Donny's message to the boys. Don't worry boys we will learn from this 🤔😕. Same ole same message. This isn't the AHL this the NHL.

  11. I don't get starting Comrie again when UPL is playing well. 🤔 I was also irked to note that Malcolm Subban (now contracted to St Louis) has a solid record in the AHL whilst Buffalo's depth (Tokarski/Houser) continues to struggle. What's with this goalie blind spot? I get the impression Granato would have benched Hasek. Very perplexing. 😕

  12. i wrote an outline for a resume for Peyton Krebs

    Experience: 158 career games with 17 career goals

    Career Goals: To surpass Wayne Gretzky career goal total of 894 goals, and at my current pace I will achieve this in 2121!

    I have mastered the skill of not hitting a guy with the puck but have mastered waving my stick at him.

    I will help a team by not getting injured because I hate and avid contact.

    I raise morale of my team by getting beat up in fights, cuz they love to see a little guy getting after it!

  13. Comrie played quite decent, but the team left him hanging out to dry. They tried coming back, but, it was too little too late. It looks like they have to make some trades, if they're going to salvage this season

  14. Detroit is older, because two years ago, their GM decided to go another direction. He(Yzerman) did that because they've had zero lottery luck and couldn't rely on winning a couple draft lotteries to stock their blueline. Like Buffalo, Detroit has a cupboard full of young talent waiting for a chance to show their stuff, but unlike the Sabres they've built a team of vets focused on defensive play and being a PITA to play against. Then later they'll slowly add in their kids. This way they avoid developing a culture of losing and their kids can enter the league on a team that wins once in awhile. If you think Detroit is going to go away in a few years, then I suggest you look into their prospect pool…which is typically rated top 5 in the league with the Sabres, Bedardhawks, and Ducks.

    While Ottawa and Buffalo fans have been patting themselves on the back for allegedly assembling playoff teams, Yzerman has been quietly rebuilding his entire team through free agency…with a few draft picks sprinkled throughout. The results speak for themselves, as Detroit has gone from 39pts when Yzerman took over in 2019 to 47, 74, 80 points and they're on pace for 106 pts this season. Time will tell which teams are doing this right, but with Buffalo on pace for 69pts and Ottawa on pace for 82…it seems clear which team is nearest to breaking through and hosting a playoff game.

  15. This month will end the "hunt" unless something very, very weird happens. So many great teams ahead and with that current trend for giving up 3-4 goals before any life… Some heads are going to roll soon. This streak is already ugly and can get very much worse than that fast.

  16. Jost annoys me, he had 3-4 point bank chances to score and shoots puck into a guys leg or loses the puck. Should have played Rosen more, he had 5 shots in 8 shifts. The goal isn’t the cup so we might as well develop prospects, Okposo and Jost can sit on the bench.

  17. Cozens zero hits, Power zero hits, two sissies. Trade them for American or European players…the top 6 hitters on this team are all American or European players.

  18. Kevin Adams clearly dropped the ball this offseason, not getting proper veteran NHL goalie, there is no doubt about it now. Another game where I ask myself, how did Power became No.1 draft pick. He is a cream puff who is easely pushed and shoved. Send that big frame child to toughen up in AHL first. We need defensemen who aren't affraid or shy away from physicality, like Zadorov for example, but no, our clueless GM wants Hanifin, another finnesse D.
