Boston's up 14-9 in high danger chances. They've had a lot of great opportunities. Anderson's been strong.

Not saying he hasn't, both goalies face a lot of High Danger shots.

Sabres biggest issue is that they haven’t been able to at least get a loser point in some of these good efforts the last couple of weeks.

To come out with goose eggs in this game and the Tampa game is crappy luck.

They haven't been bad, but brutal start to the month.

Hope they keep Quinn with Cozens and Peterka for the rest of the season. Enough of the rotation.

5 straight losses.

Same old team

- sbroads24


And 4 of those losses they either outplayed the opponent or at least went punch for punch.

This is clearly a much different team that just hasn’t got the results they probably deserved.

The inverse of that 10 game bs luck win streak from a couple years ago

They were a legitimate top 6 line tonight and combined have less than 200 NHL games played between the three.

Power and Dahlin look legit.

Tage is blossoming into a legitimate top line C.

I’m the last one to drink the koolaid and I’ve never been more encouraged about the direction this team is headed in.

That's the future. Also a good line defensively. Need 3 kids to develop into another middle 6 line, with 4 1st rounders, that shouldn't be asking too much.

Top half of the team is promising. Gotta turn over most of the bottom half.

They need to send the PP coach to the moon.

0/3 on the PP tonight was a huge reason why they lost.

They are a solid team at even strength that just aren’t getting bounces right now and when that happens your special teams needs to pick you up.

I think that is a core issue holding this team back right now.

Are they ever going to win again? This bullship has gone on far too long. I cannot believe that people pay to see this crap. This team will NEVER amount to anything.

It's a funny PP. Scoring above average, but generates few chances than average. Not a sustainable combination.

Donnie runs some funny groups out there.

Connor Bedard is on an 18 game point streak in the WHL. He has 40 points in those 18 hames.

Wouldn’t mind winning that lottery after playing meaningful games in March.

You know that neither of the things above are going to happen.

I liked the forward lines without Okposo. The lines in general felt like they had more speed

Tampa and Boston are also significantly better teams.

It's more than just bad luck.

Yawn. Another moral victory.

Skinner, Olofsson, and Tuch need to score for this team. Good luck winning a game when of these three don't score. All of our offense goes through Dahlin and Thompson too many nights. They need help desperately.

Dylan Cozens needs to score.
Mitts needs to score.

These guys go way too many games without seeing a point sheet, like so many others

Choosing to see the forest through the trees tonight boys. At least we didn't get blown out and tried really hard against the best team in the east in front of our first sellout of the season. Progress.

Yet if Jeff Skinner scores on a breakaway in Tampa instead and Quinn buries on Kinkaid in the 3rd tonight they win both games.

Or at the very least, get the 1 point they deserved to get.

The way the Sabres hyped Quinn i expected more than 1 goal by now.

Was there any one of us who thought he would have less than 20 this season? I bet alot of us thought he should get 25.

I find it very hard to believe he'll get 15 this year.
