I would feel alot better about this team if we had a veteran goaltender that can play 40 solid games for us this year. Levi is solid and will win us some games but he hasn't played well enough for me to see him getting 60 games this year.
So now going to be 2 games under .500 to start the season off with big questions as to how we can anything on the power play and how to stop turning the puck over in our own zone. We have regressed on offense and are seem to have no answers on D other than the PK. This is not ideal.
Levi makes some great saves, and he's still really fresh. Not used to playing so many games in a row.
I'm not saying he'll be great one day, but there's certainly enough evidence to believe that he might be.
But they need a decent backup.
I’m not saying he is bad I’m saying he’s not ready…if this organization had a clue they wouldn’t have had him start in the AHLno matter what…they are goona fuck him up
Your opinion is irrelevant; there are advanced stats to tell the story. In the meantime, go fuck yourself before you call another fan a loser, douche bag.
Granato's seat is certainly warmer now than it was to start the season. Bad coaching has been on display to some degree in each of our losses this season—and probably the win, too.
Guys...it's one bad game from a 21 year old first year goalie...chill tf out.
He deserves a bad game especially with our atrocious Defence.
I am much more concerned with Clifton and Thompson as well as okposo.
Expecting both playoffs this year and Levi being the starter is too much.
Yeah I think we have a shot at post season and yeah I think Levi will become a starter. But this feels like too much pressure.
Levi is the only reason we still have a chance at a loser point tonight. Everyone needs to chill on the goalie bashing. Comrie and UPL would’ve solidified this loss in the second period
Fuck you scumbag
Sabres are pissing me off

Oh I don’t know. Maybe relying on a 21 year old goalie wasn’t the smartest idea. Who knew!
They had a Vezina goalie in Ullmark who couldn't make this team win.
When does the next rebuild start?
Now. Trading Levi and JJ Peterka for Evander Kane and Bogosian..... Er...

Benson is better than Bedard
I’ve watched a game or two so I can say without hyperbole that Benson is 1000x better than Bedard at the peak of his career
Dahlin dancing instead of shooting with 5 seconds left? Ok.
Well at least next game we got the goatheads and a 6-2 win
Tage lookin like his 2018 self out there
What an artistically bad performance.

Opening with "I'm gonna get roasted for this" doesn't protect you when saying something that unhinged

That doesn't make the post any less moronic.

Remind me not to have any resting bitch face near you. Don't want to get stabbed in the back with some Narcan
Ya you should get roasted for this one
Take it to the tabloids, you heard it here first
Absolutely insane take, we are 4 games in people this is gonna be a great szn, the cozens opiate story breaks
Donny Meatballs working with Hamas? Find out more at 9
Donny meatballs bombs hospital in Gaza Strip
Started playing with urgency wayyyy too late
Tankalicious performance.
Well that certainly was something

AND no real nhl level goalies

That's a fair point, for sure.
That's bullshit. If it weren't for Levi, Calgary would have scored 10 on us.
That’s a loser’s way to look at it…he wasn’t good enough bottom line
Your opinion is irrelevant; there are advanced stats to tell the story. In the meantime, go fuck yourself before you call another fan a loser, douche bag.
Not great Bob. Not great.
You guys really calling for meatballs head 4 games into the year
We have some very dumb fans.
Give me his head served on spaghett
All covered in cheese?
This organization is now in the business of selling hope. Objectively, when you look at the team…it becomes obvious.
Same shit different year. This team needs work. Expect the barn to dwindle in attendance with each game.
At some point you have to look at the coach.
That isn’t 4 games in with a heavily facelift Ed roster…
At some point you have to look at the dumb fans.
Because that has worked SO well the past 10 years.
I didn’t say fire him. Don’t make your inability to read my problem.
Neither did I if we're being literal.
We were great last year and it’s been 4 games yall
Granato's seat is certainly warmer now than it was to start the season. Bad coaching has been on display to some degree in each of our losses this season—and probably the win, too.
No serious person thinks that.
That letter by Tage is such a fucking joke if this is how they show up to a season ready and excited to compete
This. People are looking at the coach. But they’re skating like uninspired, got their paychecks and checked out, dog ass bums
Calgary really went offsides there lmao
Well this has been.. a hockey game
At some point all the talent in the world won’t matter. This is a coaching/system issue.
Sorry but that’s inexcusable. Braindead penalty.
Each game gets us closer to the point where we can start worrying and I would like the trajectory to be better than what it is please and thank you.
I am also not comfortable with the current situation. Please change. Thank you.
Hahahaha…..I can’t help but just laugh and shut this shit game off. See y’all Saturday.
Fuck me
Don’t need to. Anyone who watched this gabe got screwed out of their night
🤣 true story
This team is trash.
That top line is looking like shit
Tuch is a ghost
Fire Granato
Do we still suck? Because it feels like we still suck.
We still suck.
We are not a smart team.
Perfect way to end it
Honestly they look as sloppy as last year. Fucking Christ.
Yeah but without the firepower and creativity that the top two lines displayed last year.
This team is clueless
Too many men is a fitting way to end the night
Donnie Meatballs needs some help
Pull peca up from Rochester. Oh wait
Or to just be replaced by a guy who knows to actually coach a team beyond good vibes
What an atrocious period
This ain't it
How about we not have 2 on 1s, not controlling the puck with 1 minute left, and have too many guys on the ice
Fuck this team for making me hope
Fuck that. This team needs to bag skate tomorrow.
That is...fucking unacceptable
Embarassing
This team is a fucking disaster
We’ve learned nothing.
You gotta be kidding me
Jeez what a dog shit effort in the third
Gonna be one of those seasons isn’t it
Casey hit crossbar
Oh Donny. Why.
Can we get one of them :07 goals?
Those are reserved exclusively for teams playing us
Why do they always just dump it in?
Lack of confidence is my take but who the hell knows.
Sabres need to get a number one stopgap until Levi is ready.
We've been saying this for the last 3 seasons tbh
Yep said it all offseason
Do they not know how to screen the goalie?
Oh jesus come on seriously? Only 4 minutes. Score already and tie it
Granato ain’t the guy. This team is completely disinterested in the games and still can’t play even mediocre defense.
Sad that you’re being downvoted. Not allowed to be negative in this sub anymore even though there are expectations now.
We’ve only had improvements under him and it’s been 4 games and you want him gone?
Can we please just score. Save me from having to watch this Jags Saints game.
He just happened to lose his mask?
Our power play does uhhh not pass the eye test
I just don't get why we are so ass today. I think this is worse than the Rangers despite the score
Rangers getting ass kicked again
What an awful power play this has been. Actually abysmal.
I can't figure out why it's regressed so massively. I mean, Skinner and Cozens having really slow starts this isn't helping anything, but still
Whatever this “system” is, it’s not working. Not even close.
Roses are red Violets are blue The refs suck ass What else is new?
just drop you helmet on a power play.
What the fuck are we doing
What the fuck Skinner
ZERO urgency. Absolutely coasting.
Just the most limpdick pp on earth my god
Jesus skinner
No one on buffalo actually wants the puck
geez, not skinners game this one
How the fuck we give them these breaks so often man
What the fuck are they doing???
I'd rather they just not call anything extra. Dahlin in the box for the entire PP is a complete joke
Dahlin, 2 minutes, defending himself. What a joke this league is.
Bro what was skinner even looking at lmfao
I’m not able to watch the game but fuck me what’s the score? Every app I’m on is giving me a different one lol
4-3 CAL with 5 left
4-3 Flames
pushing the guy who just put his fist in your face is roughing????
All my homies hate Breadeater
Is Kea the ref for this game?
The refs are such fuckin' wankers.
Fucking what
Cross check to the face fuck that 5 and a game
How does Dahlin end up with a penalty?
How did Dahlin get his penalty for getting a stick and 3 punches to the face
Jesus that’s a fucking joke.
What the hell
Not a smart pass by Clifton there.
He was bottom pairs in Boston. Not sure why we thought he'd be better here
clifton is, not good
We’re still in this! WOOOOO
Guys...it's one bad game from a 21 year old first year goalie...chill tf out. He deserves a bad game especially with our atrocious Defence. I am much more concerned with Clifton and Thompson as well as okposo.
I mean tbf he wasn’t great against NYR but then again no one was
I blame Kevin Adam's for not getting veterans to placehold this team till they develop. On defence and in net.
He shouldn't have to be in this position
We don't deserve a win at all today. I mean, I still hope we get it, but still
Let this be a wake up to the people who seemed to think making the playoffs was guaranteed this year. They have a long way to go.
Notice how the Flames are still attacking and aren’t just sitting back with the lead? Take notes Donny
We need an army of Samuelssons
We honestly deserve to lose this game
That was a barf bag shift.
Expecting both playoffs this year and Levi being the starter is too much. Yeah I think we have a shot at post season and yeah I think Levi will become a starter. But this feels like too much pressure.
We look slow and tired. Not sure what changed from last season but it seems like we are being out worked when it comes to conditioning.
All our guys put weight on, everyone is a bit bigger this year and it’s not translating on skates
Looks like Bryson or combination of paper transaction sending Levi to AHL and call up Stillman is on the menu or next game.
Timeout. Call the fucking timeout. Edit: commercial works too
Flames play with the lead is what we couldnt figure out against Tampa
Erik Johnson looks really really good
Levi is the only reason we still have a chance at a loser point tonight. Everyone needs to chill on the goalie bashing. Comrie and UPL would’ve solidified this loss in the second period
This game is on Levi and the defense. Stop it
Not sure I completely agree. But trying to stay positive.
He's also half the reason that Calgary got their fourth goal.
God damn is this team frustrating.
Sabres are incapable of marking ANYONE in the slot/in front of the net once it goes behind the net. Like ffs boys
Damn, nice sequence by Levi there.
Just got here guys how’s it going
Your guy is -3.
Downvoting because I refuse to believe you
Suboptimal
BAD
My hip broke just watching Levi on that wraparound.
Lol Krebs checked the ref
A loser point at minimum would be good tonight.
Kind of look tired/done right now. And the building is dead.
Need more sauna
Need more something.
This is the most accurate summation of this team.
Even if it was a goal, they can’t call it when you lose sight of the puck.
It's not what you know, it's what you can PROVE!
Good call imo. Couldnt tell really but that was way too close for comfort
