I thought it was a fun game to watch until the last 30-something seconds….for me.

I was holding onto my butt from most of the game, it was entertaining once it started to get going

That was incredibly unfortunate. We weren't great in the 3rd, were 30 seconds away from sneaking away with at least a point.

I dunno eye test and fancy stats tell me they had strong games, but what do I know, I am a sandwich-aholic

Grigerenko played 6:46 and had one quality shot all game. Sounds about right for him
Zadorov is a turnover machine and if he didn't act like an A hole while in Buffalo he could still be here. Now if he does end up being a solid player in the future. Which he's not now. I will always hold that against him. That he essentially forced the trade by acting like an immature punk during last season.

the game moved….a lot better than some of the neutral zone games the Sabres have been forced to play recently.

I wasn't happy with Mack Dutch the first 2 periods, they looked off, weren't connecting and finding one another. 3rd period they were in sync once again.

Sabres can move, honestly if you guys get some better puck moving D, this team will nipping at the heels at the wild card spot in no time

When you have one game left against Detroit of all teams and then have to sit without sports for what is it a week? Week and a half? Of no hockey it's infuriating to lose a game we should have won. At the very, very least deserved to get at least 1 point out of that game.

I'm chill with him. Just wont accept the fact that Zadorov or Grigerenko contributed at all to them winning this game. I was mad they got to win. Nothing against the poster.

I think thats the plan….we're a work in progress. Murray isn't done. I don't expect the playoffs this year, but I'd like to see them creep up out of the basement a bit.

unload at the deadline, get the assets what you can get. Lehner impressed me tonight, he looked sharp.

But thats hockey sometimes, played a good game but just don't get the reward of the W.

I don't know how to do the picture thing but I think Guhle was drafted to be that player

There's really not much we can unload... Gionta and Moulson who are the only players that should be moved have impossible restrictions on their deals...

Weber? Johnson? Gorges? Won't get much for those.
Ennis? Maybe if he comes back from injury soon and plays well.

Anyone else shouldn't be traded.

Was hoping to see O'Reilly score the game winner in OT.

A lazy 3rd period and a terrible and rare play by Pysyk away and we could have gotten it.

For me its McGinn, you can get a solid draft pick for him that can be flipped to help in a package to get a Dman.

If you go the Dman trade route, you always have to over pay for any Dman of quality. Do you think the Duck would move Fowler? Maybe if they are desperate to fix their Winger issues. Need as many assets you can get to over pay so you don't deplete the farm

McGinn? Certainly sounds like they're ready to move on.
