I wish we could connect on passes more regularly. Such a simple part of the game but we chuck the puck around like it’s a grenade. On top of that, we overpass more often than not.

We pissed away all of our PP opportunities when just one of them could have been the dagger we needed in this game.

Playing not to lose is a sign of a mentally weak team
My assumption is the coach asked for this because the players try to free style higher at times but generally play way too low.

None of the wingers want to stand in the slot covering nothing with no chance to go the other way on the odd man rush.

Devils had success with the forwards being up high early but it got tight and I’m sure the coaches reminded them not to make mistakes.

Devils didn’t lose this game because they didn’t play hard, if you’re saying that it’s only because you think that’s the reason teams win or lose.

The Devils lost today becaude they were, I’m assuming, told to tighten up defensively in the third period. Whenever the Devils try to tighten up their defense it kills them, their defense and offense gets worse.
they were literally peeling away from the forecheck and conceding the red line to the sabres all f***ing period. legitimately the stupidest thing i’ve seen since sutter’s line matching in game 7 2009. just absolute weak defeatist shit in a must win game

TSN told me they’re seriously considering him tho!

I’ve maintained all year long that he may be a bigger problem with this team Ruff.

He’s been here all year. He wasn’t here last year when we were good.
They have to dump this clown but knowing Fitz he will be here next year👎

It's a players' coach mentality where guys who need to be sat down and told to frigging get it together aren't held accountable.

The Bahl turnover goal was gross on many levels bc they both floated back. The Meier turnover goal was gross bc it's been stupid negligence with the puck all season long. Marino was gross on two of them.

Our forwards are not disciplined, can't win puck battles and are somehow gassed despite being 20 year old kids.

I don't know who the most old school asshole there is out there, but this team deserves it.

What a disappointing pile of shit. Who wants to watch these guys lose out the rest of the way.
That Berube guy.

But we'll get Sullivan and like it.

maybe we’ll go 1-6-1 the rest of the way.

I figured 7-13-1 under Green sounds about right.

They did the same bullshit against Montreal earlier this year, in another 2-2 tie game with a weak team lol

Really though, who didn't see this coming?
Before the game, 50-50. After the first fifteen minutes, not really...but we HAD dominated the Sabres pretty well in our two home games this year and they'd been junk lately.

I already called my lawyer. He he told me to book a room at the nicest hotel in Buffalo, which is the Motel 6 in Cheektowaga and I should be covered for that as well.

Plus too many spanking shots pucks going over sticks and broken sticks on good shots

The deserve to win o meter was shit tonight.

Maybe the 1st period.

We were outshot 28-19 in the last 2 periods.

17-7 in the 3rd where the game was tied for most of.

Still 15-7 if you don’t count the two empty net shots.

It should be 0% because it's literally impossible that this team will even win 3 in a row again this season, never mind the 8 in a row they need to win now

The other teams would have to lose every f'n game for the Devils mamby-pamby Win/Loss/Win/Loss bullsh-t to even give them a sniff of a chance.


It's over, Johnny.

Everyone did. Someone even posted after the win earlier in the week "this is going to make Buffalos loss that much worse". We all knew this would happen but had a little glimmer of hope in this back our minds. I'm not even opposed to a MASSIVE reset including "untouchables".
