I honestly swear this league is playing a sick joke on us to see how much they can influence games and playoffs for their ratings over the outrage and making this league a joke. Not sure how many more of these no calls followed by a game changing call I can take. Fuck the refs, fuck the capitals, and fuck Ovi

Shootouts are fake hockey for Mickey Mouse teams

What a disappointing end to what was otherwise a very entertaining game.

Well, at the very least if we lose now we lose in overtime. So at least we get a point
whirlwind87
Well that sucked we never trailed until we lost that was frustrating
Sabre2230
No one to blame but ourselves for blowing that lead
puffypigeon16
I mean I get it but like come on. Refs gifted them 2 goals with those fucking Mickey Mouse ass calls. Fuck off NHL.

Kuznetsov sucks at hockey. I hate his bitch ass shootout moved

Refs can and should eat a burlap sack of cocks

Fuck that was brutal

UPL is not it and we shouldn’t waste more resources on him, I’m sorry.

Someone with brain cells explain the remaining playoff picture to me please

I hate the refs too, but facts are we blew yet another lead, and had lots of opportunities in OT as well. This team just struggles so much to put games away.
gobills1365
Tuch has got to be smarter than that. Potential captain canr be pulling that shit with the season potentially on the line. Use your damn head

Shootouts should be out of 5. Change my mind.
Should also be able to have a chase guy. Change my mind.
sunyoung-luna
Fuck the caps and fuck Ovechkin, the refs literally handed them that game
Lugy_The_Meh
Idk. Reffing could have been better but there is no feeling worse than watching them blow a 2 goal lead twice in the third period.. horrendous performance in the final 20
TheresA_LobsterLoose
The fuck was that shootout attempt?… why don’t we all do that? Just slowly walk in and then tap it in. Is there no time limit?
acornhiker
Everyone crying about chemtrails in the NHL reffing are clueless. Our defense loses us games and continues to. Giving up 4 GAA + a game is not sustainable. We are close and I hope we continue to be right on the doorstep til the end this year.
BARDLER
They really found a lot of ways to lose that game
Oilybuffalo
WTF? No seriously WTF!!! UGH!!!! Seriously
churrosRyummy55
Refs were bad for sure, but with 2:30 remaining and on a powerplay, you can’t give them that easy of a roughing call to make. Bad decision making in the moment by someone who is supposed to be a leader cost us the game.

this is so sad alexa play better days

Be mad about the calls all you want, but our penalty kill SUCKS. Kill the penalties and that’s two points.
TheFerricGenum
Tuch cannot take that penalty, and cozens has to know better. I don’t care about any of the other calls or non-calls. Those are both textbook penalties, and both 100% avoidable. When you’re up 1 and on the powerplay, you don’t take stupid penalties. Just keep the puck in and run the clock out, dumbass.
RumBum09
Brutal game, they must rebound against Philly. We are absolutely still in this!
tgeekb
Quit making excuses for them. You sound lame. They had a 4-2 lead and lost. Painful but this is how you learn.
Sabre2230
Where’s the guy that posts the heatmap of chances our D gives up in games we lose? Wonder if this was one of them, feels like it was
YankeeTankieTrash
Fuck OT altogether, but there should at least be a shot clock. This slowdown shit is lame as fuck. I’d have to see avg shootout times, but it should probably be something around a 5 second limit.

McBride055
I’ll preface this by saying I don’t know much at all about hockey.
Why is the Sabres’ defense so bad? Is it lack of talent, style of play leading to more opportunities, a mix of both or something else entirely?
This team is just completely incapable of keeping a lead and I just have no idea what the cause is.
LeftLanePatrol
The highs and lows are more extreme than any team or season I can remember following. They were dominating on both sides of the ice then I can’t possibly explain wtf happened in the 3rd period. The refs fucked us for sure, but we did it to ourselves too. Don’t forget how we were dominant in OT and screwed ourselves again. Man I love this team though!
ziggywatson
Can anyone comment on the legality of Kuz’s shootout attempt? Why didn’t him floating the puck into the zone not count as his shot? I understand that the puck and player were moving forward, but he isn’t possessing the puck up to the point of the shot.
pucks20
On the positive, yes we’re down a point to WSH but we are also 4 points out now with 2 games in hand. Not going to win them all so if we don’t get the sweep but still get a point can accept that
Lanlis12
Greenway with some horrendous turnovers tonight. He then capped his night off by letting Wilson beat him to the net and tie the game up. He’s liability, the more you watch him, the worse he gets. Tage needs to put the fucking puck in the net. If he finishes just one of his chances we win this game. Allowing a team that played the night before to comeback from down 2 goals halfway through the third is a fucking joke. GOODNIGHT, FELLOW LOSERS!
ksettle86
Fucking fuck and fuck are bullshit fuck fuck clear the fucking fuck puck you’re on the fucking penalty kill! Three guys in zone just staring at Wilson tie the game up. Tack on UPL once again being unable to close a game out, and getting positively torched in the SO. Go kick the shit out of Philly and regroup. Fuck
Fradulent_Zodiac
Is every post game thread following a loss now a ref complaint thread?
Sonny_Zwack
Officially 3-of-5 on faceoffs in OT but I’d score it 4-of-5. That’s how you get over 80% of possession. Just gotta capitalize.
LaruePDX
Let’s keep things in perspective. We are fighting for a playoff spot!! We can still do this. Meaningful hockey in March is awesome.
boring_tomato
The consistent blown leads suck. I know they’re young but they have to learn. UPL wasn’t great. Meh
