They all sucked tonight and fought it all night long. Pelech, Varly and Wally were the only ones playing.

Palms was bad totally agree Just saying they were all bad tonight. This one was bad for me. Some good some bad since the trade. Just not consistent.

Played 1 period only, if that. Didn’t deserve the win. Someone else said it. They had this game in the books at 2-0 and forgot there were 2 more periods to go.

A couple of Rangers games and some wanted to act as though all is well. This team has not been playing good hockey for a while now. One game closer to the tourney, they better figure it out.

Better hope they reset at the end of the season. Did chiefs post this already?

As has been said, this team is not blessed with a lot of high end talent, so that they can steal wins when half the team is mailing it in. The entire team needs to play 60 minutes, or they end up with results like this.

Most teams do. I mean they are all playing against other pro teams so any given night any team plays only 20 minutes that usually means a loss.

At the 10:42 mark in the 2nd period, they went up 2 - 0. That's about the time they stopped playing. And not the entire team, just the usual suspects.......the guys who nearly always opt for the poke check over taking the body.......the guys who always seem to be on the ice during goals against.

Some teams have the talent to bury more of their chances than the Isles who are offensively challenged. Those teams can win games even if a few guys aren't playing hard every shift. I'm not saying that teams can get away with playing 20 minutes a game.

I totally agree that the team was not close to being physical enough on top of packing it in thinking they had the win on the board at 2-0. There was plenty of culprits who didn’t play their game tonight. I said it before Varly, Pelech and Wally were the only ones who showed up for the whole game.

I still don’t understand why he took that slap shot from a bad angle when it seemed like he had an open lane to the net. Whatever though, I’m over it by now.

Yeah you guys had a couple calls go against you last night. But you got outplayed from the 2nd period on by a team with half there AHL team playing and a 5th string goalie because of all the injuries. Unfortunately bad calls happen every game, you guys have a decent team, games like this happen. Damn we as Sabres fans have seen it for a decade.
