You beat the Oilers! Mind you, everyone beats those pieces of poop and it isn't much of an accomplishment.

27-17 bills

You think management is throwing in the towel? Also, why is it shameful?

You're lucky I'm terrible.

Because the only team that can tank with dignity is the Toronto Maple Leafs. Duh.

I don't write the rules.

Since the Sabres are playing for another top draft pick, are there any great defensemen in the draft?

The Bills are laying down and dying.

Clarify: On Offense.

The D has looked good.

specifically last night? Pommer, Okposo, Gorges, Lehner. Press box Moulson/Bogosian. The rest can be attributed to not having a complete core.

Im not a Scandella fan but I recognize that his play would probably look a lot better if he was the #4 instead of playing risto like minutes.

Lehner is a $4M goalie. He is. He makes market value. He's having an odd season that sees him absolutely lights out at home, and dogpoop on the road(away 4.24, home 1.75 and .868/.943). So if he "sucked" he wouldn't be able to put up those home numbers of 1.75 and .943. And last year the numbers were almost identical home/away, 2.78 away, 2.59 home and .920/.921. The season before he played much better on the road, 1.99 away, 2.99 home and .940/.907. He's the 25th highest paid goalie. Just because he was acquired with a 1st round pick does not make him overpaid.

Dennison is god awful

Dennison needs to get fired tomorrow win or lose, his play calling on 3rd down is absolute garbage

And if all of our games were at home that would mean something. He's paid like a low end starter and overall performing like a low end back up with the rebound control of someone who should be in the ECHL

Oh, FFS. 3rd and 12 and let's run a designed QB draw.

Dennison is god awful

I was just coming here to say we need to fire him immediately after the game today.

Right because the team in front of him is so awesome, right? Jesus Christ. What do you expect from the 25th highest paid goalie when the team is using their 11th defenseman?

Alex Smith 23 career GW drives and they got him for a bag of socks.

I'm still pretty salty we didn't acquire him then.

I'll take it even further.

He has awful endurance, is beyond slow, has awful recovery, terrible crease presence and cannot feel the puck.

He's putting up numbers like he plays in 1987, not 2017.

oh my god what?

And it will still be 23 GW drives after today.

That defenseless receiver personal foul was an absolutely terrible call.
