Not defending Strait and I don't like him, but Donovan isn't good defensively. At all. He's not the answer to Brain Strait.

WOW NABAKOV LOOKS AWFUL.

What a ridiculously poopty loss. This team can't compete when their coach is a (frank)ing idiot.

Crapuano needs to go.

Congrats....you lost against the worst team in the league....THE WORST. YOU ARE CRAP. ANYTHING BUT TAVARES FOR ANYONE WHO CAN PLAY DEFENSE. ANYONE.

We can bring back Peter Laviolette

Can he knock someone on their a$$ in front of the net, or block a shot? If not, we don't need another one, thanks.....

i dont understand how can they just keep losing leads in the last 2 minutes of play

Bring back Donovan for Strait Thurs night.
- islanders1717

Absolutely.

As I said earlier Sabres going for their first win I knew they would get it.....they should be embarrassed ......pathetic game for the isles.....really think they thought the sabres would give them the two points....

Just a brutal loss. Cannot protect three leads. The playoffs last year seems like 10 years ago.

The constant tinkering with their 20 is gonna drive this team (and us) crazy.

How did this jackass come up with who played in overtime?

Brian Strait gets the star of the game for the Sabres...he makes a lousy clearing pass in his own zone and then he screens the goalie...he (frank)ing sucks...get him the (frank) out of here...

Will Cappy call out PMB for MISSING two fairly easy goals???

Credit to the guys who thought Snow was wrong to sign Strait so quickly.

I don't get how watching these defensemen how ANY of you, ANYONE, can say we can't part with ANY of our precious prospects for someone who can play the position of defenseman. This team CLEARLY has the horses up front to win hockey games. I am so tired of seeing 5'8", 130 lb. players on their a$$ in front of their own net. We need to trade ANYTHING we have for MEN who can play defense. ANYTHING, at all.

I'm saying it one more time: what the (frank) was Strait thinking? There was no one (frank)ING NEAR HIM and he just shoots the puck from behind his goal line?

Then...how the (frank) does Capuano put him on the ice for overtime? What is this, rocket science? What does a guy have to do to ride the bench?

Yet (frank)ing Grabner cAnt sniff the ice? Fastest guy I the league doesn't play during a 4-on-4??? Are you (frank)ing kidding me?

I was fine with Carkner in the game tonight. Time to bring in a rookie for one of the spots on D.

Hickey needs to get stronger- he's way too weak to be playing with the big boys.

No need for Boulton to play when Clutterbuck is playing.

These smurf dmen cannot clear the front of the net and give the Isles zero offense.

All part of Garth's plan.

No need to get any more talent on the team this year 'cos NEXT YEAR, according to Dan, Garth will sign the BIG NAME free agent.
If that doesn't happen tho, it will be because, as Keaner likes to remind me, Charles isn't a Billionaire and so he can't afford to field a contending team.
Woe, woe, woe is us!

Offense looked good minus a few. Clutterbuck and KO were great. Lots of positives. while this team they faced is awful they still played with a lot of heart and you can see they wanted a win and they earned it.

According to Garth, Strait is a Top 4 DMan in the NHL.
