    Would have been nice to pass Pittsburgh but can’t be mad with 7/8 points

  2. RefereeMason

    Fuck the shootout. Would’ve rather tied.

  3. Let’s not go to a shootout for the rest of the season

  4. One point out of the playoffs. Almost February.

    This is what we asked for at the start of the season.

    Also thank gosh the playoffs don’t use a shoot-out.

  5. Icommentoncrap

    Great game but tough loss. Would’ve liked that buzzer beater back but we got a point and onto Carolina

  6. Son_Of_The_Empire

    If only Dahlin was .1 seconds quicker

    Regardless, 3-0-1 in this road trip is EXCELLENT and we are right in the thick of things

  7. andyouarenotme

    Still in shock that these morons stole the shout song.

  8. KilterStilter

    That was a hard fought game at least we got a point. Not sure how people are going to suddenly shit on UPL in the shootout when he got us there in the first place.

  9. Unfortunately UPL just isn’t that experienced in NHL shootouts. However, great road trip, getting 7/8 points against some tough competition.

  10. ill take 7/8 points on a road trip any time, they played hard tonight for that point

  11. jfrent51

    Marty and Duffer with the hot mics at the end there. Whoops

  12. MoneybagsMcghee

    We are better than the Wild. That pisses me off just unlucky they got bailed out multiple times

  13. AggravatingFinding71

    Not a completely awful game. Got a point. Just be happy if we ever get to the playoffs we will never have to deal with UPL in a shootout.

  14. Green_hippo17

    I rly hate the shootout, I wanted to pass pitt so bad too man fuck

  15. xBialyOrzel

    UPL gotta work on his shootout form. He comes out aggressive but he doesn’t close it down at all just kinda stands at the top of the blue paint which allows guys to deke around him. Very unlucky with the Kaprizov one but dang I woulda liked 2 points here we woulda been tied with PIT for the wildcard spot. Oh well 7/8 points is there on a road trip.

  16. trippyEDM

    I’m going to remain bitter about the end of the 2nd. If the nhl is so obsessed with upping scoring they change the goalies gear, change that shit. All I have to say.

  17. Rockhardwood

    I mean great road trip all said and done. Great job by the boys.

    Krebs on the 4th line is wild to me. Hated it at the start of the year. Thought he was too skilled, not enough grit and it would hurt his devolmpent. Fuck was I wrong. He’s an absolute stud on that line. Completely different player than he was last year, and the skill is still there. Great move by Donny. Great mentorship by Ox and Girgs.

  18. Kitchen_Research_201

    Never play *THAT* line in OT ever again.

    You know who it was.

  19. CasualMark

    This team has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. A win would have been nice but they deserve every single point they get. GO SABRE!

  20. _dark_saturn

    honestly i’m thrilled with how this road trip went. especially this game, the last of a four game trip without cozens and sammy. definitely a trip to be proud of

  21. sarcastic_man_13

    7/8 points. Fantastic road trip.

    Kind of at a loss on the line combos this game but whatever.

    Shootouts are dumb. Get rid of them.

  22. sideshowbob32

    Crazy successful trip no doubt, but the loss is still disappointing because that eighth point was right there for the taking. Well, great trip and it’s great that they’re knocking on the door.

  23. canintospace2016

    They did good but lost, sometimes that’s all you can ask for, a loss where you gave it your all

  24. Kinger86

    The Sabres performed admirably on this trip and have points in 7 straight games. There is no need to panic as pittsburgh lost in regulation tonight.

    The Sabres also don’t play until Wednesday so they will have plenty of time to rest up to take on the juggernaut that is the Canes.

    Lets all stay positive! go Sabres!

  25. Who was that with the chunk missing from his nose

  26. Also, screw Minnesota for stealing the shout song

  27. BuffaloThrilla

    This next stretch of 15 games is gonna be interesting. Lot of good teams to face.

  28. Labattery

    The effort deserved better than the outcome. I just wish we had another game sooner! This team is fun to watch.

  29. Ellogovna11

    Played a strong full 60 mins and then some, I can’t be mad at this performance tonight. I hate shootouts. 🫠

  30. MidnightMass26

    Washington still plays two more times before we even play again! I know we’re only one point back but having so many games in hand feels like an unfair advantage for them.

  31. _dark_saturn

    also I can only imagine how happy this team is to not play until Wednesday then go into the all star break. some very deserved rest for these guys.

  32. jimmy_beans

    Hell of an effort, can’t be too disappointed with that.

  33. Despite his shootout performance, let’s not overlook that UPL made some great saves to get it to OT in the first place.

  34. Large-Fly2792

    It was a hard fought game with a couple shots off of the post(s). I can’t be upset with this result. 7/8 points and at the cusp of a playoff spot. I am just excited for what is to come in the coming months. Let’s hope the teams around us continue to lose and we continue to rack up points and keep playing hard and winning. A playoff berth would be amazing. They can do it. Go Sabres!

  35. FesteringLion

    We did that without Cozens and Samuelsson. Let that soak in. Solid point, tough luck on the extra point. Let’s get on home and get ready for Carolina.

  36. elabruna1

    Being disappointed in a loss is a feeling we haven’t experienced in years so I guess it could be worse

  37. 7/8 on this road trip i woulda signed up immediately. Great Job.

  38. Cough_Syrup55

    13 games in 22 days, now it’s time for 1 game in 13 days

  39. Mrbubbles03

    Shootouts are awful but we had an awesome road trip. This team is amazing!

  40. AlexLH12

    Don’t forget UPL made some incredible saves to even get us the 1 point tonight. He’ll get better with experience he played well tonight.

  41. Sarillexis

    Given how much time is lost off the clock after every whistle, Dahlin’s no-goal is a bitter pill. The boys beat Fleury a couple other times tonight, but not the post. Bit of bad luck.
