    So glad we decided to crash and burn on Saint Patricks day where copious alcohol consumption and incoherent rambling is festive and not an issue

  2. YoungTroubadour

    VO singlehandedly preventing us from being outscored 9-0 to one of the worst teams in the league on the season.

    But hey the refs are out to get us or whatever

    Approaching “win out is your only chance” territory.

    Welp I’m going to the game against Boston lmao hopefully it’s a better time

  6. If I hear “it’s one game” by some of the copium blind ass fans in this sub I will puke. Why do we shit the bed against shit teams?

  7. Olofsson heard all the shit the sub was talking so he decided to score, only at a time where it didn’t matter at all.

    Disappointing as this was my dads one game to attend in person. But as a seasoned Buffalo fan, he understands this kind of thing happens.

    We knew it would be a season of ups and downs, so let’s just hope we get on a good run for next year =)

    This team can’t play against teams with structure. We need them to cheat as much as we do

    I just really hate that when we lose to shitty teams we LOSE to shitty teams. And no I don’t expect Granato to explain it bc honestly who the fuck could?

  11. Running out of runway real quick with loses like these.

  12. Pork-Roll

    Got to find a way to stop losing to this team in embarrassing ways.

    Team is still just not ready yet, we have games like this where our youth shows.

    Adjusting to an 82 game series at an NHL pace is no joke, like 1/2 our teams conditioning has been to play 40 games at a lower level until this year. The result is we have games like this where mentally and physically we just don’t have it.

    Erase those games and we maybe make the playoffs next year with more experience and off season training alone. Erase Clague and Bryson from ever taking the ice and it’s near guaranteed next year.

    Wild fan here:

    Noticed that Greenway hasn’t been contributing lately and is a minus 3. Question: Do the Sabres have what you could call a shutdown line? Like a line of just defensively minded 2 way guys?

    Greenways entire career with the Wild was played on what fans called the shut down line or identity line. Not a huge upside on offense but a line you can put out against any teams top scoring line and you know they probably won’t score but definitely won’t allow many goals.

    I genuinely don’t know if you guys have that so I’m just curious.

    Brutal. Don’t know why we didn’t start Peterka dude was getting his mojo again and Jost was always a threat. Sorry to say but Jordan Greenway is a slower Girgensons. We dominated the first fifteen minutes but had lower danger to the chest shots to Hart and once they scored it dissolved. Really tough.

  16. StalinsStallions

    Looks like we are exactly even with Washington in terms of results, but on opposite ends of the age curve

  17. MonteCristo314

    At least I got to sit 5 rows away from both of our goals.

  18. This is most frustrated I’ve been with Granato since early in the year, and his post game comments saying “can’t have guys sit too long” just made it worse. I’m fine with the team not making the playoffs as I never expected it but let’s stop with the lame excuses for who we scratch. If it’s truly a developmental year then why are we scratching Peterka. If we don’t care about pushing for the playoffs I’m fine with that as well but at least make sensible decisions in regards to the lineup.

    Like if we only care about hurting peoples feelings then Granato is never gonna be able to lead this team to the next level. I don’t get how we’re at a point in the season where it’s a must win game and we scratch two guys who have been producing well lately for the guy we had in Rochester for the last little while. Just baffling decisions.

    What an absolute joke of a franchise
