Kids gonna be a good one

Caggiula and Hino don't do anything for me, there's a better player in Rochester that should be here and playing on Cozens wing.

If the Sabres can keep peppering the opposing goalie and still lose because of sh!tty goal tending, what is that going to do to the young guys confidence?

Don't think the goaltending was to bad tonight, think the only one he might have stopped is Coyle, and that would have been a good stop.

I mean the Sabres played pretty hard and pretty well, but the play driving is going to usually outperform the box scores, because the scoring talent just isn't here. I'm fine with that. Play hard, I think it's a success if you come out of this season at 500.

I like hino and his speed. He should be on the 3rd line. As the Sabres have been doing for a decade, players are just a line or two higher than they should be.

Can’t blame Donnie much this year. Also dealing with injuries to Eakin, joker, mitts, can’t help.

Keep the effort up. We knew they weren’t going 82-0. Keep playing strong and don’t give up.

Nice recap Hank! Like the current Sabres, keep up the strong effort.

Yeah, think they outplayed Boston for large stretches of the game. Just need some more finishers. And Skinner needs to find the holes, he should not be trying to stick handle through 3 guy's, he's not good at it.

I remember an NFL game in the 80's (?) without announcers. It was good.

You mention all the reasons why attendance is low and all of them are proven reasons. But let’s not fool ourselves the main reason is the vaccination policy

Agreed.

I’d rather dress Hayden and Murray and at least get some jam in there

Agree, would like to see Murray's net front presence.

I am surprised there was nothing when Marchment hammered Dahlin.

On the bright side:
#1 Star Peterka
#2 Star Quinn
Hopefully, they keep that going and join later this season

Nice to see, we have prospects performing well throughout the different levels in the organization.

Yes it is. Hopefully they & others can keep that going.

A Sabre Win tomorrow puts us at 4-1 and everyone would take that so no doom & gloom (yet)

Not hurting the bill's any

74% of nys is vaccinated

10 years of crap will do that

Border ain't helping either

7800/41% in attendance. Ouch.

Why is everyone so surprised about the attendance. I mean there were a lot of people on here saying no one should by tickets, send a message to the Pegulas. Isn't this in that aspect what people wanted.

It looks as though the Bruins had home ice advantage. The white uniforms didn't help as well. Who's stupid idea was that?
