Flames played last night? Sabres are probably a better team than Calgary? Buffalo just played their best game of the season?
5-1 Flames
Quote:
Former Sabres association? Shutout incoming. 8-0 Calgary.
Quote:
I think I said this in the Blues GDT too, but one way to show that "things are different" would be to beat the few teams below or near us in the standings. We failed to do that against the Blues losing 3-0.
Will we carry momentum from the beat down we just gave the Oilers into this game and build off of that dominant win?
Or will we come out flat and get outworked for 60 minutes and lose to another one of the few teams actually worse than us this season?
Quote:
Great comeback win, followed by the most complete game they’ve played…… last place Calgary at home….. what could go wrong?

Get Right Game for Calgary? I hope not.
Quote:
they looked super messy and disorganised against Chicago. Wolf started in the pipes for them last night so Cooley will probably start today, which bodes well for us. Tentatively excited, let's extend the streak
Quote:
I mean it sounds good and all, but I've watched the Sabres for a longggggggg time and you know the Sabres have had many Hold My Beer moments in the last 14+ years.
Waiting with bated breath to see what happens.
To paraphrase a wise man:
We should win IN THEORY.......
but IN THEORY..... communism works.......IN THEORY
Quote:
"Tentatively excited" is always my Sabres motto. Atleast until it isnt
Quote:
Bad team is on the second night of a back-to-back after a loss and playing their backup?
Yeah, this has all the makings of either a Flames blowout or an aggravating 3-2 or 2-1 loss where the Sabres carry play for the majority of the game, but get goalie'd by Cooley. Small sample size, but he's only surrendered 7 goals in 5 games and has a .935 save percentage. Also doesn't have a win yet on the season, so there's another seemingly random/inconsequential item that will work against the great deliverers of hockey milestones.
Quote:
Playing against a backup, against a tired team, who is worse than the Sabres. So the Sabres have every reason to lose this game.
However with Benny back and the black and reds, I am gonna go on a limb here and say the Sabres take it 5-2.
Quote:
At minimum the Sabres needed 5 out of 8 points in this home stand. Winning the easiest game on the stand tonight gives you a little leeway for the next two.
Quote:
This should be a fairly easy win. So of course we will lose.

Sabres playing the worst team in the league at home in Goat Heads after beating the pants breezers off last years cup finalists?
Quote:
Please please please do not follow up the great effort and result against the Oilers (a good team) with a clunker against a bad team. The Sabres have done it repeatedly over the last 14 years. It’s not mandatory, guys. You can come out flying against a bad team, too.
If the Sabres come out flat and allow one or two goals in the first 10 minutes, then my view would be WTF is wrong with you guys?! In such case, Lindy needs to bench everyone possible for as long as possible. Heck, if Tage and Tuch (two masters of the slow start) come out flat, then send them into the freaking locker room for the rest of the first period, and tell them to come out for the second only if they are ready to play.
Wrong Rasmus
Quote:
Gave up the early goal, rebound from the wrong Rasmus.
Quote:
Here we go with the stupid passes
Quote:
*sigh*
Rebound control.
Quote:
we're making calgary look like one of the best teams
Quote:
Bad rebound Ellis.
Greenway with controller disconnected defense to allow the shot.
Quote:
Pathetic start ... you can tell they're gripping their sticks too tight. This team has a hard time handling any sort of expectatoins. Like winning against a worse team for instance.
Quote:
Maybe that will wake them up
Quote:
Smelling their own farts since Monday night.
Quote:
Awful powerplay, followed immediately goal against. Sounds about par for the course.
Quote:
Dahls turned it over twice in the zone on that goal
Quote:
We are always sleeping vs dog#### teams lol
Quote:
in your heart you knew they’d come out flat for an “easy” one
Quote:
Yeah I could feel it in my bones that we’d give up the first one at least
Farabee from Kadri
Quote:
Just pretend you’re playing the oilers. It’s still a team from Alberta
Quote:
Definitely not the start we wanted.
Running out of excuses for this crew. Get your #### together.
Quote:
I f***ing hate this group of players so much
Quote:
Just pathetic D coverage. Its because i started watching
Quote:
OP needs to tie up his stick... The boys came out f***ing flat
Quote:
Sabres aren't interested in working the boards.
Quote:
I hate to say it, but if you thought we’d come out with any sort of jam or pop you ain’t been here long.
Quote:
Facing the worst team in the league on the second half of a back to back so I knew the boys would look like ####
Quote:
This is really unexpected if you’ve never watched this team before
Quote:
What a goddamn shocker. F****** clown shows.
Quote:
I have this radical new idea for Buffalo. Instead of all the stick checking, flailing at trying to break up passes and guessng which way an opponent turns or passes, can they just flatten them to slow them down, make them hesitate
Ohhh , Dunne just thew a check. Good job.
Quote:
I got tied up with work and am only now checking on the game. I see it's 2-2, which is not bad. I also see that the Flames scored 2x in the first 12 minutes and, based on the comments below, the Sabres came out flat. Who could have predicted that? WTF is wrong with these guys? How could everyone last person (and their little sister) know that it was a foreseeable problem, yet the coaches and players still let it happen?
Frosty with a Tap-in!
Quote:
Seriously?? No one could stop that pass??
Quote:
Krebs with a great play.....and then passes it straight to Huberdeau...
Quote:
Rosey.... Sad
Quote:
Jesus christ Rosen. Cover the back door
Quote:
Why were Bryson and Power on the same guy?!
Quote:
Why is the first 3 minutes of the third period always a trainereck
Quote:
ZERO shots in 5 minutes of the 3rd...
Quote:
I have think I saw the wave
Quote:
no shots on goal through 5 minutes
beyond pathetic!
Quote:
Just saw the Flames third goal. I never have a good feeling when Bryson pinches. It is ALWAYS a problem and he doesn't drive back to reestablish himself near his net. Rosen could have played that better, sure, but that was a supposed veteran player who #### the effort to get back after getting caught really, really deep.
Backlund on the Hunt
Quote:
Just a loser organization with a loser mentality. Absolutely disgraceful effort tonight.
Quote:
When it rains...
Quote:
Wow. The Sabers couldn't clear the zone and the Calgary scores.
Quote:
Alex Tuch "touch pass" is a funny way of saying blind pass. All you had to do was clear the ####ing zone man.
Quote:
Game over.
Tuch you clown you passed it right to Calgary with a no look between the legs pass.
Quote:
Greenway watching disney+ on his tablet pretending he's doing anything.
Quote:
Losing to the worst team in the league. Unreal
Quote:
Gave up four goals and can’t really fault Ellis.
Quote:
I’ve been watching this garbage for ten plus years now and I still keep coming back hoping for something miraculous! I am such a schmuck!
Farabee on the breakaway!
Quote:
Calgary is last in the league yet they still treat us like we're a joke
Quote:
Bro what are we doing lmaoooo
Quote:
THIS ####ING TEAM GOD ####ING DAMN THEY ARE ASS
Quote:
Oh look...... the Sabres have turned back into 1 period team........again.........
Quote:
Owen Power is actually ####ing terrible. One of the worst things about the team this year.
Quote:
Just getting outworked this period, plain and simple
Quote:
This is the worst loss of the season and that is saying something. This season is over.
Quote:
Byram played the pass on that 2 on 1 and let the pass through. lol.
Quote:
Yeah I'm just gonna go ahead and turn this game off. Goodnight everyone.
Quote:
3 goals in 7 min, to the worst team, who played last night and playing an AHL goalie, great start to the third, really showing that extra jump...
Quote:
People like to say this, but when you are on pace for 80 points, you are not winning many impressively. You are basically cherry-picking the occasional good game
Quote:
The only consistency is failure at critical junctures in every season.
Quote:
Dahlin as the captain needs to sit these clowns down and tell them give 100% of GTFO.
Quote:
Why does this team always have to hurt me? Why do I expect anything different?
Coronato helps the Sabres score an own goal
Quote:
Weird bouncy puck goal. The only real acceptable goal given up.
Quote:
That's just a bad bounce
Quote:
Maybe we’re the slump buster for the Flames and they turn it around from here? They’ve got great advanced stats, just haven’t been finishing.
Looking on the bright side this loss could be important for us in the McKenna sweepstakes.
Quote:
Listening to Tage Thompson interview it sounds like Lindy Ruff needs to go.
The game has passed him by. They did not sound prepared for the game
Quote:
I don't get how we go from making McDavid look lost to getting scored on by several fourth lines
Boeing Save Percentage
Quote:
Walrus with another outstanding goaltending performance .737
We are going to get absolutely f***ing torched tomorrow by Tampa. Nobby only played three lines and four defence men tonight basically.
Quote:
Let's start a fund to rent a billboard asking for a new goalie
Quote:
The Oilers just scored 4 goals, limited their opponent to just 20 shots, and still lost by a margin of 3. Either Skinner/Pickard get fired into the sun or Bowman does.
Quote:
5 goals on 19 shots?
You'd think some would just hit him by accident but nope.

Bring Mike Smith out of retirement. Would probably still have the fire and competitiveness and its not like the pucks are getting stopped anyway.
Quote:
My impression is this guy is in his room playing video games until 4am. He seems worse in first periods. Consistently worse. As if he's waking up. His GAA in first periods must be deplorable. I mean it is generally but first periods are his worst.
Quote:
Even calgary can beat buffalo. Are we actually a bottom 5 team? what the hell happened

I saw Yan pass to Yegor who chipped it and gave it away. You could tell he was pissed at himself when they scored.
Yeah, Sharangovich probably could have had a handle on that puck, but he didn't. I don't think anybody expected Kuznetsov to pass into heavy traffic like that. Guys swarming all over that bit of the ice.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
Great play by Huberdeau on the Frost goal. He can really shine in this kind of game where the pace is slow. Give him time and space like they did on that goal as he methodically skated the puck up the ice and he will make an elite pass.

Huberdeau is PPG on a team with really good linemates, IMO.
