That hurts, need to fix are D. We need another top 4, we don't have the depth to cover up for that when one goes down.
- Buff36

Are. Could it be anyone else

The issue is it went off his shin pad and not his skate.

You can’t “kick” something with your leg I guess.

If it hits his skate instead of his shin pad it’s probably no goal.

I think the rule should be changed and those types of goals should be allowed regardless.


The Sabres have gotten 2 points out of their last 10 possible.

They really can’t blame anyone but themselves.
- ImThatGuy

The broadcast last night said it didn’t matter if it was skate/foot or shinpad. They also had no problem with it being overturned.

If that’s the Sabres, do you want that goal to count?

I 1000% do all day every day.
- ImThatGuy

No, its a kick.

at no point in the game last night did I feel we were the better team

78.5, states a goal should be disallowed "when the puck has been directed, batted or thrown into the net by an attacking player other than with a stick. When this occurs, if it is deemed to be done deliberately, then the decision shall be NO GOAL.

this rule is as clear as it gets.

and yet we were tied 2-2. Some times the worse teams wins.

Who cares who was the better team.

We were fvkcin robbed again by the inconsistencies of this league.

team was in a great spot to make the playoffs and went 1-4 in the last 5 games and looked lost in 3 of those games


not our year

What's the point of refs on the ice.

Just review it all.

Have a whistle blow through the speaker whens there's a penalty or offside.

Make up the rules as you go

It was a struggle to watch that game last night, reminded me of the Ralph Krueger era Sabres, a real snoozefest.
You can pick your favorite whipping boy from the front office down to the players and coaching staff to make a case against him.
Interesting. Moment from Granato about the team not shooting enough...I thought the exact opposite of shots taken from traditional low danger areas. To me they didn't seem to get into middle alot.
Also, somebody mentioned Greeway being invisible out there...he was, I had to search for him. He certainly didn't make his presence felt..NStatTrick shows 0 hits given, 3 taken. I hope that isn't what they paid a 2nd and 5th (?) for...very underwhelming for a 6'6" 225 guy. Should be more of a bull dozer than a drive by guy.

Your just saying bad things about greenway, because you're afraid he's gonna replace girgensons.

Did we think it was going to be our year? I can only speak for me but we are right were I thought we would be, I predicted 85-90 points, just on the outside looking in.

Here is to praying that GMKA can get a short term goalie fix and another top 4 D in the summer...

They got caught in a trap game, playing down to the Islanders style.

That's on coaching.

UPL plays like last night we don't need a goalie.

Get Bryson and Clauge away form this team.

also, even though Cozens Scored, I thought he played terrible otherwise.

If you score goals and stop making mistakes you don't have to blame the refs or rules on not winning.

- Boss34

People raking on Greenway but he was huge out front on one goal, almost had a nice assist and nearly a goal the night before.

All with 1 morning practice.

Hes been the least of our problems the last 2 nights.

The refs had it right.

Bush league.

Mistakes are part of the game. That goal should not have been.

Ill take the Under for a billion. No way in hell he plays like that all year or remotely even close to it. But I would love to be wrong.

I laugh with Bryson. I have disliked his game ever since he pulled the jersey over his head. I was once told on this site a few years ago that Bryson was the key to the Sabres offense. I laughed then too.

Clauge is an AHL dman so is Bryson, trade, waive or bury in the minors..

Pilut coming up atleast excited me that Bryson was going to be shelfed but oh my we send him right back down.

Bryson top left circle wide open shot on net and passes it away to nobody.

The worst player we have by far.

Come on 89.... you better then that. Even though the Islanders were the better team yesterday you hate to lose on a goal that IMO should not have counted.

Plus goals are always at a premium when you play a trap team. hell The islanders are tied for 6th GA.

No.

You realize that if it was “fixed” you’d have lawsuits left and right?

If it was fixed don’t you think each league would have “given” Buffalo a championship by now.

Yelling sports are fixed is no different than yelling the earth is flat.
- ImThatGuy

Sure let's give buffalo a championship in both sports, the die hards would be long satisfied and the teams would have been moved by now.

Stick to the ny jets "ovepaying" rodgers and hoping he lands in NY takes.

You walk around upside down?

That was a goal and the mistakes are on the Sabres part the last 2 games or more.

This is the most invested I have been in sabres hockey in like 10 years, that play you are talking about I wanted to throw my phone at the TV.

wide open for a shot and passes to literally NOBODY. I would of stapled his ass to the bench right then and there.
