Thank god TM stuck to his guns on deadline day.

He won't be pushed around. His team he assembled on the other hand....

Lehner is and RFA. He's going to want s raise. He worth it?

No. He's an average goalie right now.

0 shootout saves!!! 000.000

Why trade players for some player that wasn't working for the other team ? And have him leave at the end of the season ?

Lehner sucks as does this team

As long as youth continues to shine, I would prefer to not gain any more meaningless points, even with some self inflicted wounds as well as fluke injury to Jack, we've accomplished a lot this year.

Yes cuz shootout % is the key goalie stat.

We let gudas get a goal, 2 assists and is +5. Wow. So a team really can get a lead and try to score more. Interesting. (frank) wienerhead dan

I agree about losing at this point. Don't agree that we've accomplished a lot. Eichel and Kane yes, maybe Rodriguez to a certain extent. Not much else other than that.

Sabres need taller hockey blades

Accomplished what ? losing still

I'll refer to my statement from after last game:


All we got is Eichel. Yeah he's special, but we ain't got nothing else.

No goalies, no coach, no Gm, no direction. Just Jack Eichel.

So I take it we didn't win?

We lost 7 of 8 and we're still 5 points above Detroit, 29 points Above Colorado. What a year in the NHL.

So I take it we didn't win?
- chilliard77

Yes we won....

You guys see Jody Gage score 3 points tonight? Got lucky.

We're not tanking. We'll end up with a 8th to 10th pick in the draft and a kid three years away.

Highest ranked defenseman on central scouting is 10th ranked skater. No savior coming from this draft.

I'm so frustrated that I'm posting on hockeybuzz again. Lord help me.

Sums up the season.

Yep. Murray's going to have to give up big assets in trade and overpay FA's sucks but need to do it to improve the blue line.

This team has unraveled and I think that's a good thing. No masking the problems. They're all laid out on the table for everyone to see.

I remember the end of the 03-04 season and our team was really starting to come around. They won 9 out of the final 17 games, got points 13 of those. While those numbers aren't great they were coming out of an abysmal period and they were really starting to play with purpose. Then they parlayed that by becoming one of the NHL's hottest teams when hockey returned and I wasn't really surprised.

This team on the other hand is quite the opposite. Down the stretch when it's mattered they've just folded. They've exposed that the moves they've made clearly aren't a step in the right direction. They can't(and likely won't) ice the same team next year and hope for better.
