Ristolainen had two sequences last night that lost us the game

Didn’t hustle and get the puck out on the Bruins first goal, loses Marchand in front and he deflects the goal

Misses Olofsson with a freaking easy breakout pass that ends up icing, tired Asplund then takes a penalty on ensuing face off, they score on that PP.

Him being used as a #1 is once again killing the Sabres

Well maybe if Rhino doesn't lose the puck battle on the wall that goal never happens

That's a great way to lose the entire team

Ralph better figure it the (frank) out. Starting Sunday.

Good thing we got Botterill to manage the toxicity he solely created. He'll be breathing in the paper bag under his desk if you need him to step in. They want the coach fired!?

"Despite scoring a power play goal, the Sabres were minus-one on special teams. Against Minnesota they lost by three and were minus-one, against Chicago they lost by three and were minus-one, against Carolina they lost by one and were minus-two, against Tampa Bay they lost by two and were minus-two, against the Lightning they lost by one and were minus-one, against the Islanders they lost by one and were even, against Washington they lost by five and were even and against Arizona they lost by one and were even."

idk, trading for a player who was definitely wanted by other teams, then he gets benched because you made no room for him

thats pretty rancid

To be fair we gave up a future 2nd rounder, he hasn’t been really good since the first part of last year, and it’s the 3rd team now that’s benched him.

I don’t like it, but it falls short of being disastrous IMO

the reality of it doesn't matter much, the optics are what would play in to the reputation for the players

It looks awful because our forwards aren’t good.

I really wonder what he’s gonna do. He has to make trades, we know this, does he make a ballsy one or a nothing move.

The stone cold reality is this team has to sign Montour, Jokiharju and Dahlin within two years.

Risto and McCabe are FA’s in two years. They won’t be able to afford all of them. The smart thing is to get value now and not let them walk

I'm usually against desperation moves but (frank) it. Make a big splash, even for a rental.

Like can you imagine still getting mad at watching ristolainen making a terrible play. Whats the point. Sports are supposed to be fun and this franchise has gone out of there way to make it not fun.

Reason why I get angry

When we were good, I loved the team but was 20-22 years old and cared more about other things

Now I’m 32, have a family and look forward to coming home for the games and In the 7 years my life has been like this.....we’ve been awful the entire time

It’s possible the team put together here was never intended to be any good. But it would’ve been nice if they were at least mildly interesting.

Interesting ....... can Johnny hockey’s makes be thrown in?

And that Samuelson might be our least talked about prospect. Atleast he is for me
