hopeefully this is the kind of beating that gets people fired for saturday morning

[OpIv37]

Might as well call them the "will Vanek get points or will the Sabres lose" threads

[The King]

Anton is going to be in net for Boston again.

[OpIv37]

Oh good. So it'll be even more embarrassing when we lose at home on two days' rest to the backup goalie.

[The King]

I believe I have said it here already but I think he could be the starter next season.

[trapezeus]

remember that year like 2 or 3 years ago where every team we played at one point was playing their back up against us and we kept losing.

the proof is in the market. if other teams are going to trot out their back ups routinely against us, it doesn't matter what pegula, reiger, black think about this unit. the nhl sees us as a walk over, doesn't take much effort to beat these guys team.

Do the sabres need this to be pointed out to them or do you think they'll finally get it? My guess, they'll just say, "hey, this is a multiple games per week schedule, we will face some backups. all is ok. by the way why are all the other sabres fans on life rafts. This boat is floating perpendicular to the water because it's excellent!"

[SabreEleven]

Sabres are already in playoff mode.

[YardRat]

Woo hoo.

Great thing about the bag avatars in Buffalo, they are fashionable all year long.

[OpIv37]

Gotta love giving up a PP goal to the worst PP team in the league. I guess we should be happy it wasn't another shorty.

And **** Stafford. He finally gets a goal then negates it with a lazy penalty.

[OpIv37]

This is just a bad hockey team.

[coastal]

This is just a bad hockey team.
Yes it is.

its a one line team with what appears to be one decent defenseman.

[don137]

I am a live long Sabres team and it truly pains me watching such a dysfunctional team

[OpIv37]

People have been complaining about Miller, but he's the only one who is playing well. It should be 6-1.

[YardRat]

But it's 4-2 :D

[OpIv37]

I still have no confidence in this team but it was great watching the wheels fall off of Boston late in the game.

They played a very Buffalo-like game: outplayed us early but only had a one goal lead and couldn't sustain it when we came on late.

And the officiating was horrifically one-sided.

[YardRat]

Might've been the best period they've played all season, especially considering the circumstances and the opponent.

[The King]

Ouch.

[Skooby]

Boom!!!

We are now on the Bottom of the East in February.. Draft Picks.... 2 points from the 8 spot.

[SabreEleven]

I'll need 4 to 5 wins in a row before I get back on the bandwagon. They could easily lose the next 4 games.

It's hockey, they might run off 5 in a row.

[SabreEleven]

It's hockey, they might run off 5 in a row.

It's the Sabres so they probably won't

[Skooby]

It's the Sabres so they probably won't

True but we need to fall 2-3 points from a playoff spot to make our season complete.

[OpIv37]

We need a 6 game stretch with at least 10 points to make anything of this season.
