Alex Nylander, goal and an assist. Nice setup. Still some hope left. AHL playoffs will be interesting to see if he has another gear.

Agreed, but what, is the question.

Is it coaching? Not according to Botts.

They obviously are missing an entire 2nd line. A couple defensemen.

Really Housley, you play a goalie back to back games. Especially, having to try and save shots from Crosby among others. The team is much better than its record. The coaching is just bad. Housley was a good player, however, he just cannot coach. There is no way in heck you can make it to the playoffs so keep on losing and try and get a better draft pick. It looks as though it may take an entire decade to build this team with such poor leadership. I used to look forward to hockey season.

The Clown called a 5 - 2 score earlier today. I fear he may be right.

Boss, you are obviously a Sabres fan like myself. I am a LONG suffering Sabres fan. It is driving me nuts that we seem to be stuck in 2nd gear for the past 8 years.

12 years

Housley is one of the worst coaches in the nhl

Jackpot!

The system is terrible, the defensive coverage is brutal.

Good coaches get more from mediocre teams.

The worst part I hate about the system is the defence pinches but doesn't go to the net when the forward drops back.

It is so frustrating seeing the defence pinch, the forward drop back and the defence doesnt go to the net and when there is a shot on net there is no one in a 10 feet radius.

Just watch the system, its terrible. I know I am just a fan but its terrible.

Harrington and Eichel definitely not getting along after the game - it's gonna be an ugly end to the season, I think.

Can I get some Jack Daniel's with a splash of Grey Goose???

I just think the pieces are there, but someone needs to know how to use them

Bogosian and Ristolainen are the two worst players in the league. They make the Sabres so much worse, every time they step on the ice

The score tonight was very flattering to Buffalo. Should have been much more lopsided

Trade Risto while he still has value!

Eichel, Dahlin, Reinhart, Montour, Top 10 pick and boatload of cap space. Sign me up. Can add Skinners name to the list if he resigns. Risto is a good player but who knows what his future holds.

Hopefully his future holds the name Huberdeau.

His time has come.

He needs to go before it's too late.

At least my tickets for Monday's game are free.

I’d say watch out for the jalapeños, but there is no way Botts eats nachos with them. Too spicy.

Good call

Not sure if points are the best way, but it's a huge factor.

Tyler myers was a tall p@ssy

Risto is a beast


I cant even imagine liking myers as much as you do, but disliking risto.

What the f was myers doing in his own zone?
Big stupid bird

He allows fewer shots in his direct area of responsibility, net front, right side, than the rest of the team does around him. At least he had for the 3 years leading up to this one.
- Wetbandit1

Nope... Risto sucks
Just ask Sbroads
He’ll tell u all about how Sam reached his ceiling 3yrs ago too

What I want, you’ve got and it might be hard to handle,
but like the flame that burns the candle, the candle feeds the flame, yeah yeah

Love seeing Risto getting called out in the paper this AM

Harrington is a bumhole no doubt, mostly in his approach and tone....he tries to elicite a good quote he can toast a player in the paper.
He thinks he is some type of crusader, but he's just a bumhole.

That said, the points he made in the article are spot on, IMO. An NHL team with some excellent talent that cannot string two winning games together is a joke and speaks to a team that is mentally soft...fragile. This roster clearly needs several more players who take losing personally.
Botts has work to do.
