The Sabres had another slow start Wayne so they were fighting from behind the whole time. They fought the way they did out of desperation, and yes UPL didn’t have the best night, but it wasn’t his fault they lost. The team hung him out to dry. And when they fought back, it seems they thought they could take a breath when it was 3-3 and they were dead wrong.
You even mentioned you wanted a 60 minute effort like the Ranger game and we didn’t get that. We got a 50 minute (at best) performance and tonight is what happens. We deserve better man, no more moral victories.
EDIT: no team in the NHL is embarrassed when they score a touchdown on you.
Is it just me or does Power look bad out there?
The Sabres Achilles Heal is the coverage of the cross crease passes. The defensemen are leaving players wide open on a regular basis and out goalies aren’t anticipating and reacting like they need to to come across and give themselves a chance to make a save.
It’s long over do to trade for a goalie. Sabres will not make the playoffs again. Send Krebs, Okposo to AHL.
Our defense is awful and good teams find ways to win and we cant find ways to win unfortunately we took a step back this season
I figured that never ever winning a face off would come back to bite us. Second goal right off the face off leaves little chance for any goalie.
Check the standings. Detroit etc. pulled further away. "Dominating" game but losing it doesn't give you points. This is why this franchise is not going anywhere. People are fine when the team plays okay but loses.
Good news is benson and peterka are the real deal
When does quinn come back? Ha miss him
I saw owen power take the body one play. I was shocked. He didnt look as bad tonight but he still didnt look good haha
Why didn’t Granato pull UPL ????
It always the same with Sabres, win good one to lure you in, just to lose the very next one or two. Can they even win 2 in a row every now and then or is that too much to ask for this team?
Roam I love the videos man, but ur giving these guys way too much credit.. they went down 3 goals 12 mins into the game and a dumb penalty right after the first goal. No discipline. the blues got anything they wanted and probably thought it was gonna be a cakewalk could tell eased up a bit after their 3rd goal. (Plus we had to respond in someway) I believe this team is much better than this and I think it’s time to go out and find a coach like tortorella esque. Enough of the babying!!!! We should have won this game easily
Wayne, I know its still early. However, im telling ya detroit is going to be the team that gets in and buffalo doesnt. On paper we are so much better. As I said in ur one video its coaching and leadership. We are about to really fall back when we lose to carolina
What’s up with goalies coming way out of the crease to challenge shooters? I get it- you cut down the angle but then you run the risk of that player passing it to another player with a wide open net. This seems like an unnecessary risk to me, especially when the goalie knows our defense fails at tying up other players in the slot. Make it make sense.
Sorry anything but a win is a complete failure CONSISTENTLY INCONSISTENT! How can you be happy with this outcome?
My problem is them giving up a goal in the first two minutes of every game. Its totally ridiculous at this point. I just turned it off after that and went to bed.
Power needs to be more consistent and team defense overall is still a big concern. Offense looked like they should have had 10 goals.
If we could only play team DEFENSE. Goalies on this team get hung out to DRY!
Now fans know why last year I was so pissed off Peterka only played 4th line minutes, dude is a high end player
Why in the world is Mittelstadt on left side of PP as left shot? The way he stands he has zero opportunity to actually shoot, not that he would ever shoot but this coaching is terrible.
Buffalo has won against Carolina only 2 times in 17 games, they will be 80% against us on faceoffs and have us for roast chicken dinner
The longer this goes on, the win one lose one thing were on, the more it looks like coaching…
No complaints Wayne? Our defense was shit last night. And the physical game was ziltch. Costly giveaways, nobody standing up St. Louis at the blue line, nobody clearing the front of the net, nobody winning board battle. Just pathetic.
Are they ever going to string together 2 wins?
The Eastern conference, while tight, is very plainly dividing up between the haves and have-nots…with Buffalo 2nd amongst the latter. Boston, Florida, Toronto, and Detroit are battling it out for playoff spots at 2, 3, 5, and 6 in the conference, while the also rans are jockeying for draft lottery position. Tampa, Buffalo, Montreal, and Ottawa are 12, 13, 14, and 15 in the conference sorted by point percentage. Don't kid yourself into believing the "it's early" crap…it's December. 26.8% of the Sabre's games have been played. They're on pace for 78.4 points. Sure as the weight of expectations declines, the guys will dress up the season a bit by climbing over a few overachievers, but all it will do at the end of the day is give the team lower quality draft picks.
The current WC2 team by point % is the NJ Devils…who are on pace for 89.9 points. That's not likely to be enough as teams continue to address areas of need. Even so, to even reach 90 points the Sabres would have to go .576 the rest of the way to match that performance. The Buffalo Sabres have spent exactly one day above .500 this season…November 10 when they were briefly .536 following a win over the Leafs, an OT loss to the Canes, and a win over the struggling Wild. That's the high water mark after 23 games…five of six points in a three game stretch. The guys haven't won three in a row even once this season.
Stick with UPL, why not, there is No plan anyways. Slow starts and bad GT that's a losing combo. Last time we made the playoffs was the last time we had consistent GT. UPL will prolly play great next game, but we won't score then and the beat goes on. Personally I'm so sick of moral victories and this team going Nowhere fast. Without any points it's just the same old thing of Not progressing in the league. Hard to get excited over that ! On to the next…
It hurts upl to keep him in. Sometimes this coaching pisses me off. Sometimes coaching needs to steel a game.
Power is really struggling, he needs fewer mins until he gets his game back..imo
The fact that the sabres have yet to win Back to Back games this season blows my mind…. Its extremely frustrating.
At 11 mins in the 2nd ,I remember thinking wow the Blues look like the Sabres ha ha,Dahlin needs that Puck to stay on his stick,to many errors by him 4 what he is ,Nice to see 19 get his due
To see the potential is always positive.
The Gods are not very good to Buffalo in hockey or football.
Granato shouldve replaced UPL when it was 3-0 and another 10 or less Hits a game! If Granato is sticking with 12 forwards and 6 D then Owen Power needs to sit the next game as he is a turnover machine, gets caught out of position too many times and he is too soft!
Dont mean to sound like a broken record but Marty Wilford the Sabres D coach needs to go . Shouldve been reolace in the summer by Rochester coach Mike Weber who Adams let go to St louis!
Let’s do this, and the fans of every team regardless of sports can do this; Suppose, we create three columns in a spreadsheet, COL_1 is for all the areas the sports team needs improvement (the outcome of this column will be the combination of COL_1 & COL_3), COL_2 is for all the areas where team is consistent game after game and doing at the very least good (NOT Average but good, hits, plus/minus, Powerplay, PK, shorties, goal-tending etc.), COL_3 is for game after game what the team is doing Average or below average, this includes tangibles (elements you can see empirically) as well as intangibles (Body language, how players & coaches answer after each games regardless of the result, head-coach’s approach toward the players, meaning force them to play to their strength and take them out from the areas where they’re NOT at least good, leadership, accountability, locker room chemistry, sense of urgency (today could just be my last time on the ice sense of urgency) playing full 60 minutes game-after-game, you can’t measure these empirically), then we compare all 32 teams on these criteria, the teams that emerge at the end are the teams who concentrate on “Intangibles” like FL-Panthers last year taking care of business against the best team in NHL Bruins. Now the Bruins coach got fired and went to the Knights, installed all these intangibles in the team and won the cup. Until and unless Sabres coaches and players don’t take care of the above mentioned intangibles, nothing is going to happen, it’ll be just another day in the office until you find another place to work or you’re out of work. Secondly, if the fans make excuses for the team’s poor performance like “they were or he was due for a bad game”, imagine what kind of mentality the players have for each other. It is a defeated mind group mentality.
UPL made a miraculous save in the opening shift, then proceeded to not play the rest of the game… just one of those games. Onto the next one. And you have to go back to UPL in Carolina. You have to see how he's going to bounce back from this loss. Putting in Comrie would just destroy whatever confidence UPL had gained this season. And since it's a back-to-back coming up, Comrie would start the game against Nashville.
We will be a very good team if we can solidify the defense and goaltending . Offense was stellar minus the opportunities we didn’t finish on.
Lol this team will continue the drought,
Is what is,
Looks like noth Buffalo teams underperformed
Does Terry Pegula know the season started? Does he even know he still owns a hockey team?
Also…. where the heck is Dylan Cousins? What is going on with him this year?
On to Carolina. Hoping we stay at .500 until we get Tage and Quinn back. Our goaltending is what it is. It was too soon to expect Levi to come in and be the answer in net. Sabres are still finding their identity as a group. D has got to be more consistent.
So next year this team will look the same except Mittelsstadt will be making 7 million, Power 8.3 million, Dahlin 11 million, UPL is starting goalie so he will get 5 million, Ollofsson will walk…this team probably will never be good, they have a team filled with guys who are always hurt so even if we make the playoffs half the team won’t be able to play due to injury like in 2005 when our GM Darcy picked up zero backup players for the best chance we ever had to win a cup and then we had 5 starters all hurt. If I’m the GM tomorrow what I do is trade for a very good or great starting goalie who doesn’t get hurt a lot, make some bold trades for two way forwards who have grit and hardly get hurt, we can’t just keep going like this, saying “oh better luck next year our guys just have bad luck with injuries”.
The top line with Mittelstadt or Tage is always scored on, we need one really good two way winger who can play a top 6 role, Peterka who is built like a tank should play Matthew’s and Marner minutes(22-23), let him do his thing while all the other guys who get hurt every other week can put ice packs on and get foot rubs from instagram models.
This team is soft as mink fur, no wonder they don’t hit, if they did they would be hurt every other game.
This thought about how we can’t move on from certain guys because it will hurt their feelings needs to stop. Make a trade for Hanafin or Pecse, quit screwing around with guys who can’t play defense. Move on from Girg, Jost, Okposo, boo hoo, they will cry big deal, you want to win a cup or be nice guys?
No more excuses. UPL is not the answer. Make a change in net. Get a face off man. No nights off your a professional hockey player. You want nights off go play in Europe. Changes need to be made. Or no playoffs this year. I'm sorry that's the way I feel.
Power is way better than Dahlin was at this stage.
Need a top four stay at home dman. Surprise.
The defense this game was the worst all year. Im not happy with this game
I am surprised Wayne would be satisfied on this effort and blame goaltending. Four of their goals were basically tap ins. Wayne wants the goalie to make a stop on 2 on 0? WE still have not found our identity. The Sabres want to run and gun but last night forget on to cover in the D zone. They don't have the guys that know how to finish, either. Casey missed a tap in goal. Hard to watch but overall entertaining game for the league. We have a 20% chance of making the playoffs and percentage is going down quickly.
