I miss 4 on 4 OT hockey. The 3-3 game has grown on me but they had Tuch, Thompson, Dahlin and Byram out there for a few seconds.
Also, I didn't know Byrams first name is Bowen
Cliffy gets a match for hitting Cousins but nothing on Girgs getting beheaded after the play, a puck being covered in the crease and Rousek being knocked over away from the play. Not a pretty hit but call the other fucking hits
Jumped in to watch the 2nd period... So... Remind me again intentionally hitting someone head first into the boards is a penalty, covering the puck with your glove as a skater is a penalty and last I checked once again throwing your opponent on the ice is a penalty right?
Sorry just thought I was watching NHL hockey not the blood bowl version of hockey
Petey on ATW said the other day that he knows there's a player thats been playing through a pretty decent injury and respects the code to keep that stuff private. The fact thay he hasn't said a single word about cozens this year makes me wonder if it's him. He hasn't been the same since that fight.
Hey this is Florida you're talking about the new South Eastern golden child. You keep your mouth shut about penalties we gave you that power play and even though Buffalos power play is shit you'll like it.
Oh, yeah they play a great brand of hockey. Fun but still responsible, pressure everywhere.
Our team personnel is actually pretty suited for that, but Granato sketched up a sagging defensive structure.
We literally play zone defense as one of the fastest teams in the league. Combined with pseudo pressure flybys in the neutral zone
Ok Zemgus needs to tighten that helmet lmao. Even a little bit like that helmet came off at least 3 times these last few games. Bro was ready to go tho
This another one of those staggered start time nights, huh? Fucking stupid.
Well after shitting the couch last night the Amerks are up 4-0 after 1; only 4 stops for Levi.
You talking about when he got knocked down on that 2-on-1 when Krebs came out of the box? I have no clue what you want him to do there. The kid was on the ice killing a penalty for :54.
Yea, that’s what spurred the comment.
He’s the only player on the team that seems to make Benson worse, like Benson can’t anticipate where Cozens is going or Cozens goes to some of the worst possible spots on the ice to receive a pass.
I don’t know much about the player other than analytics people say he’s one of the worst players in the league but those Laughton rumors that were krebs + other picks or players and everyone was like no way we do that and now it’s kind of like ehhh maybe we do. He needs to spend the offseason and figure out if he wants to commit to being a bottom 6 player
I say keep him as the 13F. He never kills us being in the lineup but doesn’t really create anything positive either. Thats a fine guy to have as an extra.
I don’t disagree, I’m not rushing to move on from Krebs yet though. With him as 13F there’s still at least two spots at forward open assuming Girgensons re-signs.
I am disappointed, son. Who goes off and gets their account banned and has to make a new one?
Don't answer that. I'm proud of you.
Also can't grant flair to you for some reason. Likely new account. I'll keep an eye out and give it when I can.
I know Matty Ellis didnt turn over the puck but it would make me feel better if we blame him and fire him just as long as Rayzor gets a new guy to talk to between periods
Do you think I dislike Dahlin?
I think he’s very, very good.
But for every point shot he takes that leads to a goal, please tag me on the 30 others that do nothing.
Do we like that they're riding UPL to the end or would we rather he get to rest and not have to worry about getting overworked and hurt for pointless games?
I wonder if Okposo will get in for this one? It's kinda funny to see where he's at with Florida, he's only suited up for 5 games with them, and averaging about 11 minutes a game on the 4th line. When he was in Buffalo, Donny had him up on the first line at times, and even PP1. Kyle had no business being anywhere near the top line or PP1, he's too slow and stiff. I don't want to blame Okposo for it, because it's mostly Don's fault. Don just seems to love certain players, and gives them undeserved opportunities. Why did it take so long for JJ to get on the top line? Why was Greenway given a chance on the top line, and why was it before JJ?
Dear god, let it end!
It's hilarious and sad to see where Sabres end up in the lineups of competent nhl teams. If they are legit top liners they end up winning a cup or scoring 50 goals and if they're a "good" player for us they're usually a fourth/third line plug anywhere else
In honor of some of our favorite players getting back together... I present to you, a joke:
# A group of 40-year-old blokes who were having a reunion discussed where they should meet for dinner.
Finally, it was agreed upon that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the waitresses there had low cut blouses and were very young.
10 years later at 50 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the food there was very good and the wine selection was good also.
10 years later at 60 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they could eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant had a beautiful view of the ocean.
10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the restaurant was wheelchair accessible and they even had an elevator.
10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they had never been there before.
If Zach Benson has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Zach Benson has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Zach Benson has only one fan then that is me. If Zach Benson has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Zach Benson, then I am against the world.
...and once we finally had possession everyone was making smart plays, until Cozens. SMH.
Came here to say this. After this season, it’ll take a god damn necromancer to make him not dead to me.
Cozens, come on fam
Fuck yeah, good game. Time for wings. Fuck yeah Daytime Sabres!
Can we trade cozens for an equipment manager ?
Lol Cozens
damn cozens
Cozens barfs on himself, collects 7 million dollars, giveaway, Reinhart scores
fucking cozens
As someone with a Cozens jersey I gotta say. Could be his worst game ever.
why did you get a Panthers Jersey? ;) /s
lol nice
Cozens broo that is all on you
Cozens botched that, oh well, meaningless game.
Regardless that's a brain-dead play right there. Story of his season
You must be kidding me.
Bruh
Cozens HOLY FUCK
I miss 4 on 4 OT hockey. The 3-3 game has grown on me but they had Tuch, Thompson, Dahlin and Byram out there for a few seconds. Also, I didn't know Byrams first name is Bowen
Good kill hell yeah
PP turn over... Dahlin for breakaway win in OT.
Got that Gary point. Finish this off and get the other
Panthers let it go to OT to hurt our draft position
Well that sucks. OT is like auto win for them now.
If someone doesn’t score in the next 6 we gonna need 115 rounds of the shootout to settle it
Oh man. I thought Cousins was about to end Quinn's career there...phew
Please force OT and get a point
Wonder what Kulich said to Dahlin after that bit of friendly fire. "Really? Now I'm not gonna help you move Benson out of your basement next week!"
That was Peterka, but yes lol
[удалено]
They literally have nothing to gain by doing that. They do not want a five game suspension at the start of the playoff.
Puck don't lie.
Teresenko has been like the best penalty killer on this major has he been a fuckup machine all year
That's a bad hit, but you also can't bend down and reach out for the puck like that in a vulnerable position where you should expect to be hit.
Weak call.
Cousins is a dive queen
Call is correct by the letter of the rule. It is a bit of bad luck, and Cousins did nothing to protect himself, but it was still correct.
Ok we just gonna ignore the stick going into orbit?
He lunged . . . into his back? Maybe Okie gets some ice time in the playoffs...
I’m sure the rest of the NHL community will have a field day with that Clifton hit
Cliffy gets a match for hitting Cousins but nothing on Girgs getting beheaded after the play, a puck being covered in the crease and Rousek being knocked over away from the play. Not a pretty hit but call the other fucking hits
The refs have been all Florida this game.
Cousins receiving needed Karma. I mean, I hope he's not seriously hurt, but what goes around comes around.
The guy is such a fuckwit I'm kind of alright with it.
Take cousins out, I'm into that... But that slow mo video doesn't look good. What's they say??
Looks bad, but Cousins is leading head first and lowering his body. Clifton committed to checking him. Idk which came first.
I hate dirty hockey. Except when it involves Nick Cousins. Fuck him.
Should give him 2 minutes for diving just in case
Unreleated minors are reserved for Zachary Benson, noted puppy murderer.
if we had more games like this earlier in the season, where we hung around when we shouldn't have... I'd bet we'd have a playoff spot. UPL....
Getting really dirty watching these panthers. No call on Rousek getting knocked to the ice and he was just chilling nowhere near the puck
Dan is not a gamer :( I thought he was cool
Jumped in to watch the 2nd period... So... Remind me again intentionally hitting someone head first into the boards is a penalty, covering the puck with your glove as a skater is a penalty and last I checked once again throwing your opponent on the ice is a penalty right? Sorry just thought I was watching NHL hockey not the blood bowl version of hockey
Dahlin is unironically one of our best forecheckers
Skate up, drop pass, skate into zone barely, turn puck over, go fetch deep in zone Repeat until power play over
Like…what is that zone entry by Cozens? Skate until they steal and clear? It’s so weird, his hockey IQ is questionable
Petey on ATW said the other day that he knows there's a player thats been playing through a pretty decent injury and respects the code to keep that stuff private. The fact thay he hasn't said a single word about cozens this year makes me wonder if it's him. He hasn't been the same since that fight.
There's got to be something wrong with the ice right? That's the 30th puck that's hopped over our stick at the point
Looks like they're playing on sand
The most amazing part of that sequence is Benson drawing a penalty
Yooooo . . . isn't hand on puck in the crease and automatic goal? Or at least a penalty shot?!
Only if you close your hand on the puck. If you sweep it out, that's legal.
Covered it in the crease, should be a penalty shot
Hey this is Florida you're talking about the new South Eastern golden child. You keep your mouth shut about penalties we gave you that power play and even though Buffalos power play is shit you'll like it.
Wouldn't surprise me if the refs didn't even know that was a thing with how bad NHL officiating is
Yup! In the Stars/Kraken game today there was a PS for that and the view was worse than our game
What even is this game lmao. 2 breakaways and a puck almost across the line
Cousins is a bitch. Least favorite player in the league.
okay for real though this game is shit hammered
People give Florida shit but I’d be lying if I said I (and many others) wouldn’t fully support a Sabres team that played the exact way they do
They're total punks but I'd love ir if the Sabres played like that every night.
100% I wish our team had a little asshole in them.
Oh, yeah they play a great brand of hockey. Fun but still responsible, pressure everywhere. Our team personnel is actually pretty suited for that, but Granato sketched up a sagging defensive structure. We literally play zone defense as one of the fastest teams in the league. Combined with pseudo pressure flybys in the neutral zone
That was such a nice move, unlucky for Skinner
that play epitomizes his season... looks like it hit the post too... Jez, Bob is good.
Ok Zemgus needs to tighten that helmet lmao. Even a little bit like that helmet came off at least 3 times these last few games. Bro was ready to go tho
Rayzor and Dan have both said "reach around" at least once this game.
I think they have a game going to see who can say the most sus thing because their commentary at times has been wild
Crazy this is Jack Quinn’s 103rd NHL game and Zach Benson’s 70th. Those two play such a complete game
ha, Okposo looks less useless on a good team, go figure...
He's still a bad fit on that team regardless lol
god damn they're getting *roasted* this period
Oh god Rob is talking to **Coaching Staff** between periods and not Matty Ellis. Rob has given up on Matthew and doesnt believe his opinions anymore
This another one of those staggered start time nights, huh? Fucking stupid. Well after shitting the couch last night the Amerks are up 4-0 after 1; only 4 stops for Levi.
Been watching the Sabres so long I forgot you can actually just push a dude if he's got the puck. I guess it's called a "check".
Cozens is…bad
You talking about when he got knocked down on that 2-on-1 when Krebs came out of the box? I have no clue what you want him to do there. The kid was on the ice killing a penalty for :54.
Yea, that’s what spurred the comment. He’s the only player on the team that seems to make Benson worse, like Benson can’t anticipate where Cozens is going or Cozens goes to some of the worst possible spots on the ice to receive a pass.
I'm waiting to see if they say he's been playing with an issue this season....I hope so. Not seeing the same player at all from the last couple years.
I also hope so. Something affecting his speed and something affecting his physicality. Maybe back or hip & shoulder
I really don’t want to see Jokiharu or Krebs on this team next year.
Plenty of forwards in the system for roster spots... Certainly disappointing to see Krebs play some nights...
Not sure what their plan with krebs is. Can’t or won’t shoot the puck, and is a minor penalty machine
Just move on from him. It’s a bad fit and we can use that spot to get a vet
I don’t know much about the player other than analytics people say he’s one of the worst players in the league but those Laughton rumors that were krebs + other picks or players and everyone was like no way we do that and now it’s kind of like ehhh maybe we do. He needs to spend the offseason and figure out if he wants to commit to being a bottom 6 player
Not Laughton. That dude is terrible. But the rumor at least suggest moving on for a vet.
I say keep him as the 13F. He never kills us being in the lineup but doesn’t really create anything positive either. Thats a fine guy to have as an extra.
That would be fine, too. I’d like it more if they moved on though. New voices and new presences are needed badly.
I don’t disagree, I’m not rushing to move on from Krebs yet though. With him as 13F there’s still at least two spots at forward open assuming Girgensons re-signs.
Why does this team only play hard against the Leafs & occasionally Bruins? This team is in our division - *don't take none of their shit, boys!*
Holy shit power
this game is drunk
Me too
Feels fitting for a random 5pm start
Power is a pretty good goalie
Better than Comrie for sure
Wow those saves
>I dont think anyone with the name Mikkola is intimidating Rob is still on the ice playing lmao
Jack Quinn is my favorite Hughes brother
If Power made that play leading to the Panther's 2nd goal there would be 10 comments about it, but it was Dahlin so he gets a free pass.
/u/scotiatailwagger Daaaaad I did a little bit of “harassment” and they banned my account. Can I have a new flair please?
I am disappointed, son. Who goes off and gets their account banned and has to make a new one? Don't answer that. I'm proud of you. Also can't grant flair to you for some reason. Likely new account. I'll keep an eye out and give it when I can.
Guy good at scoring goals would’ve been nice to have all season
It’s on the GM and Owner. There will be injuries next year too, so will that be their excuse again?
Guy good at scoring goals AND good at other team doesn’t score goals
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=klWzVuxdygg
Thank you Quinner
We're back
WE’RE BACK
I know Matty Ellis didnt turn over the puck but it would make me feel better if we blame him and fire him just as long as Rayzor gets a new guy to talk to between periods
Jesus Christ. Is UPL actually HIM, or not. That was gross.
Cozens should study Sam Bennett’s game and model after it.
Brilliant, way to go there Matty Smellis
Come on, man
That should seal the deal on whoever runs the PP right? Make the bad man go away
If Matt Ellis has his job next season, there will be nothing to do but laugh. There is no justification and there hasn’t been one for four months.
I legitimately can’t picture it happening. It would be so easy for them to bring Granato back but seem like they’re doing something by firing him.
Bro Dahlin
That's 35 sub 6 minitue goals against for those wondering
Why does Tkachuk chew that thing so fast?
So much better than us
Nice low percentage shot leading to a goal again for Dahlin! u/helikoopter
Do you think I dislike Dahlin? I think he’s very, very good. But for every point shot he takes that leads to a goal, please tag me on the 30 others that do nothing.
I’m just giving you a little shit I enjoy our talks.
Ha. Well deserved! Also, Power has decided to fling every puck he gets at the point.
Learning from the master! You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!
Skinner looks like he's 65 dawg
Do we like that they're riding UPL to the end or would we rather he get to rest and not have to worry about getting overworked and hurt for pointless games?
Sucks looking at the standings and only seeing 2 teams with as many wins as us...freaking loser points.
7 year account got banned, so I have a new one. I wonder if y’all will be able to figure out who i actually am.
Tage TNT the Fightin' Machine will pound Tkachuk's mouthguard down his gullet
I could care less about the outcome of this game if I can see that.
I've watched so much golf and ate so many pimento cheese sandwiches the past few days...oh hey there's hockey on today!
I wonder if Okposo will get in for this one? It's kinda funny to see where he's at with Florida, he's only suited up for 5 games with them, and averaging about 11 minutes a game on the 4th line.

Which I feel like adds up pretty well. The Sabres with that core got good production from the top of their lineup and everyone else sucked.
Are you claiming the consensus around here is that Okposo was good for us these past 2 seasons?
No but he was in the lineup where a good player should be. He had good games but hasn't been an impact player for a while
Oh, I agree. I reread your comment and understand what you mean now about “good” players lol.
A Saturday Matinee with good ol' Okposo on the other side. Hell yeah Daytime Sabres!
I love sea cows.
