Dahlin had a delay of game penalty.

Better let him watch and get Hunwick a game, eh Phil?

Please decline the penalty. Odds oilers score short handed?

Bullpoop... MAKE a (frank)ing trade, do something sit some of the poop that's playing EVERY night and call up 3 guys from Rochester... DO SOMETHIMG.... besides sit on your ass and watch this poop.

with everything that has gone wrong tonight, it wouldn't surprise me in the least

I’m approaching 0 interest in watching this team the rest of the year.

I don’t think I can handle Ristolainen and Scandella playing top pair minutes or Elie ever playing, or Sobotka getting minutes, or Pominville and Okposo playing at all.

All while CJ Smith, Nylander, Guhle, Pilut get sat or stay in Rochester.

It’s a joke.

They had an opportunity to put the gas pedal on and improve the team when they made it to a good spot, and absolutely sat on their hands and blew it
- sbroads24

Imagine having two top 15 picks to go with Smith, Nylander, Guhle, Pilut ? Guhle and Nylander could even be moved in a trade for all I care. Short term pain for long term gain. Don’t blame Botts for Murray’s poop show. Botts is doing what Murray should have done in the first place.

I hate being this cynical

Can't speak how you want here, people cry about it if your opinion doesn't match there opinion.
- SABRES 89

I rarely agree with your opinions, but you are not crying.

You state opinions.

We're all disappointed. Expectations were high

guhle and Nylander have played well, but no where near how well smith and pilut played before getting the call

Donthe sabres realize that they have an extra player out there.

Ok, who put Sam's jersey on at intermission? He beat a man to the puck with speed and then laid a big(for him) hit.

Dude what I’m talking about has 0 to do with trading 1st rounders.

CJ Smith is an NHL’er. He’s better than 4 of our forwards at least.

Pilut is maybe our 3rd best D man.

Nylander has more talent than 6 of our forwards

We have 9 freaking NHL D. We could have (tried at least, maybe JB did) to add a depth forward with a hockey trade.

Jordan Weal is a decent player (better than (frank)ing Elie) and was dealt for a 6th because of roster issues

There is 0 excuse for this

Sam just out skated RNH... Why do we want that guy again????

This is comical.

Has anyone sat back and realized that this might be the worst season we have in the next 5-10 years ? Botts might be thinking this is his last shot to draft high. You’re telling me next year we won’t be even better with Eichel, Reinhart, Dahlin, Mittelstadt, Thompson another year older ? Why not throw in the towel one last season and potentially grab another game changer to add to that list (as well as Skinner if he resigns). We are not winning the cup this year. But next year we’ll have money to spend in free agency and a full stocked prospect cupboard. We have all the assets in the world to make this team a perennial cup contender it’s all up to Botts making smart moves in free agency and going 50% on our first rounders over the next two years.

Someone should be fired for this

Nylander isn't ready...sure he's got a great skill package but there's more to it than skill alone

I'm playing against him in fantasy hockey this week.
Or course he has 4 hits tonight.

from Harrington:
It’s hard to fathom. It’s all that’s bad the last six weeks going wrong in one night.

This is comical.
- hehateme

you don't like Larsson on the PP????

Wow, even the Carubba was weak.

This really is a problem. This was not the game to do this. This is embarrassing and cries out for change.

And we are suppose to sit here and be happy? Like 30 days ago we were the BEST team
In hockey. I realize we were very lucky but watching this team the last 30 days. It’s
Like we forgot how to play
And now we are out of a playoff spot. It’s frustrating has hell!! I’m sick of losing and watching shat hockey.

Detroit didn’t seem to suffer letting their prospects develop in Grand Rapids till they were 21-22 years old. Rochester going on a run will be good for those guys. We haven’t won anything NHL/AHL wise in a long time. Why not take the chance. Smith, Nylander, Guhle might make this team marginally better but is it worth it ?

He should NEVER hit the ice on the PP
