What a pathetic franchise. At least they will be able to roast marshmallows around the fireplace and enjoy Buffalo winters.

They simply are a horribly flawed team. I don't care if they come back and win this game. The Caps suck, too.

Sadly - for both teams - I can't shake the feeling that I'm simply watching some mediocre hockey between two average (at best) teams.

I don't know what's worse, our "depth" on the forward lines, or the fact that the Caps have fallen so low that Joey Crabb is playing in their top-6.

Team is slow, no offensive creativity, awful defensively. Our only redeemable trait is goaltending.
Goaltending minus the puck-handling part.

Anybody still think Vanek should be captain. If Pommers is out, are we this much worse? Guy takes all the whacks and bruises, and Jason does the best interviews.

I didn't want to believe that, but now I'm not so sure.

Lol...I'm surprised Crabb doesn't have 2 goals on us yet...

I'd give the Sabres a total of 2 threatening shifts that whole period. Both at the end of the period.

Grigs-Hecht-Foligno and Ennis-Scott-Kaleta.

4th line solid but not threatening.

Gerbe definitely not working on 1st line. But neither Poms or CoHo playing inspired.

1st line is -2 .

Pretty much, I've watched a lot of hockey because of the free CI preview and both these teams are just flat out bad.
