For all the analytics guys here, after two periods the numbers show we should have been winning the game, not down 5-1 at that point. This shows that you can't rely on charts to predict the outcome of games.

If I can briefly interrupt the arguments, are the Sabres wearing throwback jerseys tonight ?

Who “relies” on charts to predict the outcome of a single game?

Should be, it's 70s night.

Nothing has been announced but I had info during the summer that sad we would wear the OG throwbacks and the 90's goat heads but every other team announced their jersey schedules and every site I go to has nothing on the Sabres doing this.

It's a real long shot at this point.

Islanders have won 8 in a row

time for a loss

THIS TEAM DOSN'T LOST 3 GAME IN A ROW

Time to play connected tonight.

Sort of like the human centipede game in San Jose a few years ago where we had 3 guys on top of each other guarding one guy

play station doesn't count

They are wearing their 50th anniversary jerseys tonight.

Lost in the 4 goal against defensive meltdown, is that outside of the PP, this team does not generate enough offense, at all.

I’m a big Botterill guy, but he can’t sit on his hands and just trade Scandella for a 3rd and think we will be fine.

They need another offensive weapon.

Do something now

Ppl keep saying to do something “now”
But it seems to me that if a good trade were available, he’d do it
Don’t ya think??

Nope

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Sobotka sucks. We’d have definitely won tonight if someone else was in his spot, right???

Anyways... for those who care...

Whoa. Was just listening to them yesterday at work (I wouldn't recommend that, by the way). Every time I listen to them, it makes me wanna crash my car into buildings - repeatedly. Such awesome, angry music.

He needs to start being more aggressive, IMO.

He may be, but something needs to give. This team is getting pounded constantly and really don’t have a good 5v5 team.

There was a 4 on 0 basically yesterday. I’ve never seen that.

An under the radar guy I would inquire about is Blake Coleman from NJ. NJ has given up two 3 goal leads and a 4 goal lead. When tied or ahead heading into the 3rd period they are 2-2-4 and are being outscored in the 3rd 19-7. There defense is pretty bad and perhaps they would see someone like Scandella as an upgrade (considering Tennyson is one of their starting D it isn't unreasonable to think Scandella could help). Coleman has another year left at a reasonable $1.8m and would be a good replacement for Sobotka. NJ has almost $5m in cap space.
I know it's not a big fancy trade that people are hoping for, but I think it would be a more likely possibility than some of the proposals I've seen.

This team is a pretender (same with the Bills).

Sabres are close, but still not good enough. I liken us to the Leafs when they got Matthews. That young, good team was fun to watch and had just enough of the right kind of players to get into the playoffs. We're not quite to that level yet though.

Per Coach Krueger, Brandon Montour and Jimmy Vesey are expected to play in tonight’s game.

The Sabres played a brutal 6 minutes of the first period last night and it cost them the game. Analytics don’t tell the full story but do contribute to the full picture of 14 games.
