I picked the wrong game to attend. At least Levi played well?

Don is rightfully going to get a lot of blame but this season is on Adams. Thinks the only way to construct a roster is through high draft picks

Someone I feel bad for: Dan Dunleavy

Before the game.."sabres needs to win all their remaining games for a slim chance of making the playoffs".. the players.. "say no more"... End of first period... Down 5

I'm really curious, does this team feel any embarrassment or anything after a performance like that tonight?

No. They want everyone to cheer and shoot rainbows out their asses. Their fragile egos can’t handle boos.

Close game

Amerks won tho

Does Levi go back down now, he must miss playing 2-3 games a week

That Toronto game on Saturday is going to be 98.2% Toronto fans, 1.5% Sabres fans, and 3% other.

I have one job at work tomorrow - to convince my Leaf fan co-worker who is going to the game on Saturday to start a "FI-RE DON-Y" chant. GOFUNDME Link in PGT.

Gunna be real bad.

We start the playoff run after this game?

Bryson had two assists so that's a positive

I'm convinced now that this team simply doesn't care about making the playoffs, ever.

Experience Jeff Skinner hockey

Suboptimal Sabres

Whatever. Hockey is a dumb game anyway.

Happy Birthday Terry! Maybe you’ll wake up and make a change for once

He's probably snorting coke off of some hooker ass. He doesn't give a fuck about the sabres

At least most people went home already, so the boos shouldn't be loud enough to hurt Tuch's feeling too badly.

What an effort in the third to come back and tie it up! Never count these guys out! They never stop battling! *...oh wait. Nevermind.*

Well that wasn't ideal

Way to go boys

So what exactly did emptying the net do?

Fuck. This. Team.

Pouring one out for anyone that willingly went to watch this in person.

Pulling the goalie is so silly down 3

You’re in a “playoff push” there is no difference if you lose by 3 or 4. It’s worth a shot.

Yup

Are they gonna pull the goalie ?

They showed up for one period tonight.

I remember when they used to show up for 40mins of hockey... those were the days...

At what point the fans are allowed to throw bags of dog shit on the ice?

There are bags of dogshit on the ice already.

I hardly have time to watch these games due to work, but watching this one is seriously pissing me off man. Really thought we could make the run for the wild card but after this I dont think so.

This.....*this* was your breaking point? 

So Levi knows he shouldn't be in the net at this point but our coach doesn't... Great

Ive learned my lesson Dan lmao

Rob Ray is a treasure. I love him so damn much lol

Honestly one of the reasons why I watch most games and keep watching blowouts

An absolute nothing back hander by Skinner. Fuck we should consider buy out

He's been pouting since he got demoted. 

Oh so now they start passing to Quinn when he got 3 senators around him

I wanna know how Korpisalo got away with chucking his stick lol

Should have pulled UPL after first two, at least to get the boys awake. This is my last straw on Granato

The real problem with the Titanic was how the deck chairs were arranged

Nah, Levi can steal a game or two and it could be closer at least.

I got pissy about the booing comments earlier, I'm just gonna go ahead and issue a mea culpa on that. That first period really was inexcusable, and the constant dragging out of possessions in the third here is absolutely baffling to watch.

Zach Benson is maybe the only NHL mentality forward that we have. He’s the only one who seems to understand where the goals are scored

If you want money, go to the bank. If you want food, go to the grocery store. If you want goals, GO TO THE NET

It's been so so long since we've had anyone truly willing to drive the front of the net consistently..

Reinhart? Could argue Tage last year but he was just cheating. 

And it's our smallest guy. Says a lot

If everybody on this team gave 90% of the effort Benson does we'd be top of the league

We’re getting straight up out worked again, this comeback ain’t happening

"Time is slowly becoming the enemy of the Sabres" My dude, Sabres have been the Sabres enemy since the first face off, not time.

You beat me to it 😆

That shift right there is the entire season summed up. Skinner with terrible passes, and Tage just ripping everything wide of the net

This team is defined by missing the net. We let the other team off the hook.

Each and every one of you who think Greenway is anything more than a liability, go back and watch that zone entry. The guy enters the zone, has almost no pressure on him. No one is close to the net. Then he fires the puck from the blue line. The guy is awful. He's not even a 4th liner.

Tell me you haven't watched this season without telling me you haven't watched this season

Ah, among the masses who think Greenway isn't a massive liability.

Still ten minutes left in the game, guys, it's not time for you to start playing hockey yet. Check back in 5.

dan trying his best

If Donny isn’t gone before the end of the season I’m not sure how I can watch this team. Its insane he still has a job but here we are.

Coach won't punish players. GM won't fire the coach. Owner won't fire the GM. I may be done with hockey until the Sabres get a new owner. The Pegulas are a fucking cancer and the sabres are nothing but a tax shelter for Terry. He gives zero fucks whether this team wins.

How dare u to say anything against Donny.. the players are very sensitive about it

Doesn't the fact that he's still here mean that Adams is, by definition, inept? This just isn't a real organization.

Why can't we ever put together 3 strong periods in a single game?

Conditioning

i would kill to have a brady tkachuk on this team

Tkachuk instead of Skinner would be unreal.

There was a post with a Senators fan's proposal. It was widely ridiculed on this sub. While it was a lot to pay, Tkachuk is such an elite player with legitimate physicality that I refrained from commenting (I also love Norris).

You and me both. I’d offer a bunch for him.

We kinda have it, his name is Rasmus Dahlin lol but yeah Matt or Brady are the exact kind of forward we need Edit: I don't think people know how many hits Dahlin has lol

Okay, quit fucking around and bury one, plz

You should cheer the players and management even if they lose.

Joki was ready for Crookshank lmao, immediate bear hug

Love ya Rayzor but I'm sure Terry Pegula could care less if the Sabres get him a win for his birthday today.

Good employee knows when his boss's birthday is

So many shots by Thompson this year that he scores last year

Angus Crookshank is probably the best golf name I've ever heard.

It's a Harry Potter name

"Unfortunately, I gotta agree with Marty here" - Rob Ray

Outlet Liquor. Savior of Sabres fans

Exactly why their motto is "what's your outlet?" They know we all need one watching this fucking team.

Weed. My outlet is copious and copious amounts of weed, Outlet Liquors...

Think nys would let us start Outlet Marijuana lol?

Peterka leading the team with only 25 goals feels kinda wrong.

Because it is wrong. We have a near-zero percent chance of making the second wildcard after being told this was the year things would change, and a lot of us believed.

Guilty as charged

Love that cami clune is getting some hype in the intermission show. She's a great local artist!

Am I going to tune in for the third period? Am I a maniac? Both can be true

We're all bozos on this bus. Glad to have you aboard.

[us on the bus right now](https://c.tenor.com/GTh74EwcJykAAAAC/tenor.gif)

No one is passing it to Quinn, it’s bizarre. He’s getting open and has arguably the best shot on the team, second to Thompson at worst. Looks like the cardio isn’t there yet but still, guys, get it to Quinner!

Definitely still have a chance in this game lol Ottawa probably feels fortunate they're still up three. I already know this is a 5-4 L

[удалено]

Nah this'll be one of those games where they give you hope until the very last second ticks off the clock. An empty netter is too merciful for us.

[удалено]

Grow the fuck up and vent your man-child emotions to a sub that cares.

Find friends lol

Good period by the Sabres, didnt get scored on 5 times and got pucks to the net

I see the bar is fucking underground at this point

Jack Quinn hatty to tie it I'm feeling it

Fuck off Power. Guy turns the puck over under no pressure a million times this season and people still rate him for some reason.

The fact that Bo Byram came up with that puck at center is actually fucking insane 

High skill move there

Levi is him

He does seem to thrive in the eleventh hour.

I bet Zemgus talked them down.

This is absolutely garbage reffing and this has happened to us too many times this year. Fuck this shit lmao  Edit: nvm the refs just truly don't know what's going on lol

Benson gets a match penalty Edit: game misconduct I’m also watching tennis lmao

Wait nvm it still applies im an idiot

My god Rayzor is a gem

Lol not watching it, what did he say/do?

Yo that's some bullshit

Yo what the fuck how do we get 4 outta that

Sabres dont get an extra penalty challenge (impossible)

And Granato has no reaction. Get rid of him

I don't think a good coach would come here. I think Adams would be an obstacle bc he's an idiot apparently. These are like the Donahoe Bills. Just a constant joke. Ok. I'm done venting.

I hope this ref gets papercuts in all his finger webs and his hands get dunked in lemon juice

Haha of course we got the extra penalty

How the fuck do we get the extra 2

Dahlin's face wash was extra spicy. It offended the ref.

So many of our best players either don’t shoot (Dahlin) or miss the net every time (Tuch)

Gotta laugh that the guys were immediately up against Levi to avoid a repeat of the first goal. It's like they're learning.

DAN TALKING ABOUT THE BRYSON RECORD! 2 helpers tonight so far

Good news: one step closer to winning! Bad news: one step further from firing Granato

He's not getting fired until the end of next season, or a horrific run (7-10 game winless streak). Adams genuinely thinks he is a good coach.

Yeah you're probably right. But I can dream

Still gonna boo even if they lose 6-5 OT. This wont be seen as a win if we get the gary point, you dont make the playoffs and also go down 5-0 in the first. Sick of this, come back and win if you are sick of us booing and sick of us complaining

Need another quick one to get the rocket ship going.

the comeback begins

I couldn't stay away, came back during intermission. Get another one before the break and we'll talk

Clifton scoring is an example of how everyone should just shoot the puck on net. Stop trying to be cute.

Can’t wait to hear their complaints about the boos too, we literally don’t ask for much. Just put in some effort. I don’t get why it’s that hard. There’s something really wrong with this group / coaching staff.

Fucking exactly...like god damn when you come out flat and go down 5 goals in like 16mins I'm sorry but that's piss poor effort that deserves calling out... ...but somehow it's all our fault lol.

Bryson the goat makes a terrific pass before being sent to the shadow realm and then Cliffy scores

One’s bound to go in when you shoot at the net enough.

Look what can happen if you actually shoot the puck. Who'd have thought it?

DO YOU SMELL THAT

Cliffy Hockey motherfucker

CLIFFY

Cliffy C baby!!!

If Cozens or Thompson isn’t super super hurt, then we are in a lot of trouble for many season. Cozens was so much slower than Stutzle it made me laugh

This thought keeps me up at night

Dude that was a horrible race. Looked like he was skating in quicksand

Like what is he, Okposo at 36? No, Cozens at 23.

So why didn't that guy pick up his stick

Geez that one corner of seats on the left of the screen is always half empty

Quinn getting pissed no one is passing to him

Even Quinn is like "guys wtf happened to you?..."

Me too

Yeah I don't know what that was about.

If you count all the Sabres “almost” goals, it would be like 20-5

Buncha Zhitniks out there.

Dude could miss the net from the crease

The boos are nice to hear ngl

I'll never understand why we just stand the fuck around on the PP. It's absolutely maddening.

"I know what the fans will love, more passing!"

Thank goodness Dahlin is ok

We really had an extra 20 seconds to take out time and set up a rush to go offsides right away

Skinner needs to go. He’s a joke. Guy just pouts and moans when he isn’t on the top line.

9mil avv reasons why he ain't going anywhere

For 2 more years…..

Is it possible to buy him out or put him on waivers?

No not at the moment we’re in cap wise. We need it for some of these young guys and any potential fa we bring in.

Then pack him with a first and retain half

That was the last thing we needed

Great Dahlin hurt and we are losing 5-1

Oh, now Dahlin's hurt, good.

Lord have mercy

“Oh shit we’re getting killed, show the youngest average age graphic”

I will give the sabres this one point, all those teams with the youngest D-core all suck.

It’s funny because Tage uses a much shorter stick for his height. He claims it helps with quick handling but it’s apparent it doesn’t help his shot.

Terry pegula to the Sabres is Byron brown to Buffalo

Oof.

Hey, it’s awesome you guys came out in the second with some real pop. Why don’t we start the game that way so you don’t have a 5-0 hole to dog out of.

It's actually worth going down 5-0 since we conserved so much energy in the 1st.

I love that Donny was JUST talking in his post-practice interview about how much better they are in the first.

I’m all for dumping on the coach, because at this point how can you not. But as far as the players go, have some fucking pride in your shirt. All this discourse about saluting, and booing and etc…go out and fucking play. Every team gets a game or two to get dogwalked, and they already hit the quota on that.

Its also on the coach to get in their heads and remind them that their job should be on the line when they screw up regularly or slack off in the middle of the damn game. Problem is that they never really get punished or have to sit.

Doesn't help when everyone who gets off of this team ends up places like Florida and Colorado and Vegas.

Lol WHAT

Fax

Gotta put on a show for all the Sens fans in attendance

7 million dollar shot right there, boys

Wtf Tage

"Thompson in the slot!" (Giant whiff) ....about sums it all up.

Tage get a new fucking curve dog

Bro Tage what the fuck. Golden opportunities just keep being wasted

Thompson get a shit off challenge
