15 more hours. That's all I need

So I take it I shouldn't bother to watch the Bills and Sabres games I DVR'd today ...

Ah, that felt good.

we can blame the goalie all we want but playing the 3rd like we have a 2 goals lead and just dump the puck thats the result its on granato. i guess he didnt learn from toronto. can we put donnie in the press box for a game?

eagle blowout?

I think so, and then we held Washington to like 150 yards the next week with McDermott calling the D

“In the wind, the rain, down 24-7, and the Bills unable to stop Jonathan Taylor, the head coach opts for a 49-yard field goal attempt. Strange.”

McDermott also doesn’t have to delegate either…..

He’s the captain of the ship but gets absolved of all blame cause of the assistants he is paid to manage and delegate responsibility too ?

Strange flex but ok

McDermott has made a few questionable decisions this year but this had to be his worst game, and that's with the Jacksonville game still in the rear-view.

Big Thanksgiving game coming up.

I also hear that sound a lot.

Refs gave the Rangers two free goals tonight and took one away from us. It was ridiculous. Multiple touches on that delayed penalty, then allowed a goal where they interfered with our goalie right after disallowing a goal where our guy didn't interfere with their goalie...

We won this game 5-3. The officiating tonight was an actual travesty.

maybe this loss will get us the first pick in the draft.... glass half full.

I might look it up tomorrow but I’m curious what the 3rd period shot differential is over the last 3 games (pens, flames, Rangers), I think…

Pretty sure they are getting worked pretty hard in the final frame.

56-25 going back to toronto, if my addition is correct...and if you take out the calgary game that was already over with the sabres outshooting the flames 11-10, it's 46-14 against toronto, pittsburgh and the rags



Oy vey

Seems like we just get caved in in third periods quite frequently.

I think you let Skinner, VO, and Bryson off way too easy. TT was the one working to kill the clock, those guys were pylons. He didn't leave 2 guys wide open in front of the net for no reason.

Dell is terrible...why are they still playing him? He has never played well for any team he has been on. They could have won this one with a halfway decent goalie.

Warm body

Why are they playing Dell?
UPL isn't ready, Andy is hurt, Tokarski can't play every game, a breather is necessary...especially after getting smoked in a 0-5 loss posting a sterling .781 sv%.

How about why 5 guys left 2 players wide-friggin-uncovered for an easy tap in goal.

4 guys. TT was actually working for last 20 seconds of the game.

Yoy can give me UPL isnt ready all you want, but this is one week that was clearly marked on the schedule as more important than other weeks, and instead of putting our best out there we've got Aaron Dell. Yuck.

I hope attendance drop to 4k then 2k. But, hey, when it's really important (you know March when we're 20 points out of the last WC spot) we'll see the youngsters. Because one week in November would break all of them. If theyre that fragile they wont make it in the NHL to begin with.

Not to be a d!ck, but why was this week any more important than the rest. We all knew what this year was. We new there would be some high and some low points.

Totally agree.

Blaming Tage is baloney.

Not "giving you" anything. UPL hasn't proven to be the best except 1 year in Juniors. His proper development is far and away more important than the 26th team winning a game in November.
Good grief.

Trust the Process.

The Bill's are NOT who we thought they were!

Playoffs?! PLAYOFFS!!!?

When asked about his team's Execution, he replied I am all for it

Very fitting for this team at this point. They need to get their collective heads out of their asses.

Beaner has some holes to fill

The Aaron Dell experiment needs to conclude.

UPL needs to earn a roster spot.

At this point….I’d rather see Houser than Dell or perhaps there’s someone else playing somewhere else they could get. It’s a shame watching points with valiant efforts go wasted.

Part of this team improving/developing comes with confidence in net too.
