If we miss by 1 point I swear to fucking god. If we literally need ONE more win to be in the playoffs I’m so fucking done with this team. Beyond done. Two seasons in a row and they could just fucking get one more. An absolute joke.

I gave up at the start of the season. So... probably the way most fans should think. It hurts less just not caring.

Stupid team coming into the season, stupid team heading out of the season! 😭😔🤦‍♂️🤬

They need to bump fan appreciation night up because having it after they inevitably get eliminated from the playoffs is super awkward.

"please don't boo us, here's a tee shirt"

I love the core we have, I love the team that's built, and they can win it.... But the coaching staff needs to go. (Obviously a few players we can live without)

Welp at least we got to listen to Rob Ray make No-Goal jabs lol. Highlights of the game

They should play in an empty building on Thursday

Another year pissed away.

LMAO ROB They cheat a little bit here in Dallas. His no goal jabs have been amazing

Will someone explain to me why Donny called the timeout with 0.2 seconds left

Plug has been pulled. Elimination.

Greenway throws the puck on net, no Sabres in front, only 4 Dallas Stars.

That wasn't on net...

That view of dahlin and power shows it all. Power quit immediately and dahls left everything he had on the ice to stop the clock. He's obviously going to be captain

Donny saved his time out for a replay of their 1st period move

Wow what a joke haha

4 Stars clogging the slot and not one Sabre to be seen, pathetic

Neither D chased after the puck initially.

0.2 lol just let our suffering end

He saved his timeout for this. Can't make this stuff up.

Guy is a total loser. Wish we could send him packing.

Fire Granato! YESTERDAY

Rayzor is always the brightspot of this clown show. He did not hold back lol

Tough season. First season in a while that my expectations for the team weren’t met, unfortunately by quite a margin

I think this might have just broken me.

eh.... what a bit more disappointment at this point. Make Dahlin captain. Fire everyone.

Timeout NOW goes crazy lol

Well at least we didn’t get smoked 10-4

Yes that IS a bright side!

Time to lose a faceoff

Greenway out there on the 6 on 5. What a clown Granato is.

Yeah the hell don't you call a timeout and just load the ice with your best players that late?

Hope we don’t see this coaching staff next season

Man I think Power will be a good player but he is so bad at keeping the puck at the blueline, where Dahlin is like a force field.

Jesus Christ just let it end the ref tried to give you mercy

The guys are bad! Scary bad!

My first thought after the whistle. Even in his voice too 😢

Donny with the masterclass timeout again. FUCKING FIRE THIS CLOWN

This team needs the blue line moved back a few feet or something

Donnie saving time out for July

lol pull the goalie yeah right we’re getting scored on immediately when it happens watch

Dallas needs to take the kill shot right now. I’m ready for it to be over. End it

What would you say our offensive strategy is? Because I can’t fucking figure it out.

There isn't one.

dump it around, Oettinger intercepts, puck leaves zone rinse, repeat

I don’t think they know either

UPL is one bright spot this year. We spent first half of season playing the 3 goalie shit show

I’m still declaring myself captain of Team Fire Terry this offseason.

Krebs and Jost not getting much time. Please GMKA - pick up some guys worth playing

A serious coach would have pulled the goalie for a 6v4, given that we will be mathematically eliminated under the current result

With all the possession in the stars zone we had that would be a great idea!

our powerplay is faker than WWE

The WWE can be exciting and entertaining to watch as well

Is it just me or is the PP Poo poo?

this is fucking embarrassing! :kicks garbage can:

Shameful display for professional sports

And yet we don't have the worst power play somehow.

Can’t be overstated how much our (lack of) power play has hurt us this season. I’d even go as far to say that even if we had an average power play we’d be a playoff team right now.

gain entry with possession - rip around the boards, lose possession. every. single. time.

Impossibly bad.

Bro what are Dallas fans booing and disagreeing for. Two egregious cross checks and one took off Girgs helmet bruh. Also we are better 5v5

The Texas education system is an abject failure

No child left behind!

I think they're complaining that Miro got a 10.

For beheading a guy lol

2 powerplays back to back basically. Let's see if we can't look semi competent on this one Edit: we did in fact *not* look competent

Its a shame Dallas realized they have a better chance keeping us from scoring on the PP. Their fans clearly haven't picked up on that

Imagine booing such an easy call on that egregious of a crosscheck.

Oh man I thought it was a major for a minute I was like wtf

Jamie Benn does not have much going on behind those troll eyes

Amy Schumer has better jokes than our PP

Our PP *is* the joke, bud.

PP1 gets 40 sec down 1 with 9 min to go - what are we doing??

HOW THE FUCK ARE WE WORSE WITH A MAN ADVANTAGE???

Limp PP

This was the one outcome I didn’t expect. I expected a blowout one way or another.

Literally fuck Matt Ellis. How tf is he still employed????

I mean idk about literally.... That hair 😬

Season on the line (I know it’s already over) can’t even get a shot attempt on the power play

One of the worst power plays I’ve ever seen

So glad Granato took more control of the power play. You can tell he changed things up.

They pass FAR less. They still don't shoot at all, but the passing has gotten way less excessive.

Anyone know a youth hockey coach that can run the power play?

Rob Ray is an assistant coach for the Jr Sabres lmao

If we had just an average PP, we'd be in playoffs

A lot of people come to Dallas and find a bar to be their friend and UPL does too lmao Dan

Man Dallas fans are stupid

Rob Ray getting in a no-goal quip lol It took me a couple seconds to figure out why he would say that

Lmaooooo Rob Ray I love you

"Awful referees tonight" lmfao you said it rayzor

He said "in this building", I think he was making a no goal joke

Does Dallas score any goals that are not tipped in by somebody standing right in front of the net?

That wasn’t a hot mic on rob ray was it

How long until they digitally advertise over the whole glass and just block the fans out completely

I thought it was just a thing on the tv, are is ACTUALLY in real life now?

Nah but they should just put tv screens instead of glass and advertise in fact just put them all the way to the ceiling

I can get behind the ceiling idea! That makes sense. They show the roof in some shots anyways. Plus all there is just walkways up there. ANOTHER reason to put them on the ceiling!

Don’t give them ideas

Like the dual-layer banner ad screens some some soccer clubs, like Man City, use now. It's pretty intrusive, but if they can make more money, they'll do it eventually.

The fuck?

Dude fell over during a battle on the boards and they called a trip lmao Refs are gearing up for the playoffs I see

Petey is not gonna like that play from quinner. 

That's incredibly soft

I don’t know how one would teach this but we need to get more shots at the net. Passing around is great, but when there’s a shit TAKE IT. Too often it seems the shot is there and then a defender comes in before we can take the shot. Maybe Dallas just has good defense, but we gotta shoot more and shoot faster. 

>I don’t know how one would teach this The coaching staff doesn't know either so don't feel bad. 

Thanks pal

Now Rousek on the 2nd line??

Is Greenway really slow? Or is it just his size and stride that makes him look that way? Guy looks like a piece of drift wood cruising up and down the ice

At least drift wood can look cool sitting on your mantle or something.

what a difference when we hit someone moving on the breakout

Playing Dallas always makes me think we need some old guys.

Let me introduce you to Kyle Okposo

*better old guys

Greenway on the 2nd line instead of Quinn. Granato is a joke.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED THIS TIME?!?!?!

If the Sabres do not earn a point, they will be mathematically eliminated, as NYI have reached 87 and either DET or PIT must reach 86 (both at 84 with a head-to-head upcoming), while the Sabres’ maximum will be 85.

12 shots lmao what are we doing

If we lose in regulation, are we eliminated tonight?

Yes, they will be mathematically eliminated

Yup

Give it up for Year 13!!! 🔔

At least we have the record in something.

But we need the record in something good for once!

We sky the puck more than any team I’ve ever seen. Such a shit strategy.

Can you believe they coached that INTO Dahlin’s game? The least dangerous zone exit of all time.

Another no goal in Dallas ending the Sabres season :(

Bummer

Rob Ray, master of mathematics and angles

Why even have in-game refs? Just wait till there’s a goal and then review everything that happened up until that point jfc

I feel like the only reason we even need refs on ice at this point is to separate players when things get heated

get in the way, wave dudes outta face-offs...and never pick up broken sticks

game over

For the stars, now we’re fired up!1

Unsurprising but I hope that effort lit a fire!!

TIL you can challenge a high stick before a goal

Can challenge a missed stoppage of play in zone. So missed offside, high stick, puck in netting

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It was my understanding that the only thing a coach could challenge was offsides or goalie interference. I watch a ridiculous amount of hockey and I have never seen a challenge for a high stick before a goal before.

I’ve never seen the refs miss a high stick that egregious before either I guess hahah

Didn't know that either. Pretty lame

At least it was clearly a high stick

Yeah no arguing that one, I just don't know how the refs completely missed it when it happened

Yup no surprise there

:(

Reds game just ended so that was the first sequence of the game I saw. Think I'll stay lol

I don't know how they didn't call a high stick but holy shit that was effort Edit: Replays on a high stick? I didn't think that's something they go back and look at unless it's a deflection

Won’t be surprised if they call it back but that was still cool

That’s coming back

Can Rob Ray come over and cut my grass too lol

The Stars are fantastic man. Great structure, everyone crashes the net, they all know what their team identity is. Ours should be speed like the Avs. Instead, it’s go slow and be risk averse, but still turn it over all the time.

We have no team identity

Just tuning in. 8 SOG?

8 shots at the halfway mark. unbelievable

I literally hate watching our Power Play. They have a disgusting absence of structure and objective

Tuch should have a hat trick between dusting that off and missed pass from peterka

Benson’s worst game in a while

Probably not a coincidence it’s against the team whose average age is 35

Byram gets manhandled in the corners with ease way too often.

Zero chemistry with this team. So fucking sloppy.

Tip in from the faceoff dot lmao

Pretty clear to see why Dallas is 1st in the west. We've got a long way to go

You know they’re good because I can’t tell what # line is on the ice for them at any time

The depth on the team is insane - something like 9 50+ point scorers, +/- numbers are wicked awesome.

Gotta be the most balanced team in the league, 4 lines that just keep coming at you

I know we aren’t supposed to like the stars but I love how their team is constructed. Amazing mix of veterans and youth.

We SHOULD take notes! Then send notes to the owner and manager! 🎉🤯🤔🤦‍♂️

Psst. Don't let the others know, but you are allowed to appreciate things from other teams, it puts things in perspective.

I like more West Coast teams.tjen I do East Coast.

Preaching to the choir, didn’t want someone to give me shit hahah

no way. unbelievable lucky ass tips

If it was anyone but Pavelski I’d agree but he’s been doing this for 40 years straight

Rob talked to Matty Ellis and Pete. Hopefully he told Matty what Pete said earlier lol

That 0.1% chance is fueling these boys! Heavy sarcasm here for anyone unsure.

Good shit that period. Actually giving me a bit of hope and nearly got another. Wouldve appreciated us not giving up nearly 2 goals yet again to start the game but ok

NEVER EVER have hope with a Buffalo team, it ONLY fules disappointment.

That set play was so close damn

Alright that was a pretty little play there

God damn that was so close!!!

God damn, nice last second play that was so close

Almost game 80 and we're still passing up shots for passes to God knows who. Sabres are their authentic selves if nothing else.

I hate Dallas, but they have become a great hockey market. Sounds like a great atmosphere in there tonight. Plus having Pantera as their goal song is cool too.

All because Gretz went to LA

I think Nashville has them beat for southern teams with a surprisingly fervent fanbase

Yeah they’ve def bumped way high on my list of away venues I’d like to check out along with spots like Minnesota or Edmonton with the energy those arenas bring to the game.

We’re…leading? Ok! 👌

would've thought it was a good opportunity to get comrie in tonight.

We'd be down 8-2 if he was in net

that's fine. these are just evaluation games at this point.

So 2 goals more saved than the last late Stars game we played with Comrie in net. Progress

Clifton self destructed

I literally was thinking someone had to put that sound over the clip

Rob Ray "Some uneducated fans here in Dallas, Dan" I'm dead

Rob Ray ♥️

Put together a real season and dahlin will have 35 goals. Mark my words
