(frank) it

Big 2pts, UPL came up big when it mattered

It actually was nice for him and the team to grind out a close one. But slightly stomach churning. Can’t give that high of quality of shots to a better team. And the Sabres have many of those on the schedule.

The schedule leading up to and coming out of the trade deadline is rough.

Yeah, unfortunately they do it game in and game out.

I know part of it is the uptempo, pedal to the floor offensive philosophy. But there’s a sizable chunk attributable to some deliriously played defensive zone madness. Sounds like Clague was benched for the 3rd.

Lyubushkin worst game in awhile to

Games in hand sound nice, until you squeeze them in the schedule.

@Tor, @Was, @Phi is the easiest of the next 5 weeks...and that's not an easy week.

He was supposed to have a steadying effect on the back end. Instead, too often hes been exacerbating the shortcomings.

They could really use a whole new bottom 3

Peterka sucks.

He's 20 or barely 21, playing in the NHL....patience.

Yeah, big time.

or put Bryson back in and keep evaluating.

Bryson has been a disaster this year = turnover machine, producing nothing offensively and around -18.

I though Buch was fine tonight, Joker was the one I thought was shaky. Klague is what he is - should be a 7th D or a top 2 D in the AHL

Can you find Richard?

Half this team stinks

If we think of hockeybuzz as we do the sabres, we all suck

Peterka sucks.

Kinda like last year when everyone was ready to give up on a kid named Cozens because he didn't score enough?

Jeff Skinner last scored a goal of any type, in this case an even strength goal, 1/24 against St. Louis.
Tage Thompson last scored an even strength goal 1/26 against Winnipeg. He has had two PPGs since then.

Need more, boys. Let's go.

I do appreciate when people listen to me. Clearly they're on the thread.

Clague and Lyb out with the top line every time has to be getting old for the forwards
- lulags

You noticed that too? We almost never see that, but I couldn't not see it this game.

Did Clague get injured or plastered to the bench? Ended the game with about 7:30 ice time.

What is that Tuch's 85th empty netter this year? One trick pony.

Tuch has 4 empty net goals.

Olofsson and Okposo each have 3.

Tuch does a lot more on the ice than Olofsson does, that's for sure.

Starting with the home game this Tuesday against Toronto, the Sabres play every other day, including a couple of back to backs, through March 21st.

They have 6 games over the 10 days from 2/21 to 3/2, leading up to the trade deadline on Friday 3/3.

Lot of Conference games over that stretch

UPL had a great game. It's a start. It was the Sharks not a power house like Dallas, TO, Boston, etc etc.. Some guys give UPL too much credit. It's a great game and that's it. I'd be concerned if KA rolls with him trying to get to the big dance. If we had the dual of Ullmark and Hutton from a few years back we would be in the playoffs. We couldn't score a goal when they played and now it's 4 or more.
