Yikes, I'm surprised by the Sabres. The Devils are a good squad but the Sabres are supposed to be as well, and this 2-game series was dreadful for Buffalo. Soft goaltending, no continuity, leadership, or offensive prowess. It's not a good look for Ruff either. Then again, why did they rehash him and bring him back anyway? As a huge Dahlin fan, I want to love the Sabres but there is always something "off" about them. Hard to explain.

Soft goaltending??? Levi was great today and UPL was solid yesterday too. Levi's the only reason this wasn't a complete and utter blowout.

Soft goaltending isnt something i saw in the games....

Casey 1st star. What a player.

Props where it’s due. I don’t venture on the main board/prospects board much but you’ve always been pumping Casey’s tires. I don’t follow prospects much but you nailed it with him. Well done. Now keep posting on the Devils board lol

Huh? I guess you just didn't watch the games?

If their goaltending were atrocious, they would have lost 7-1 and 8-1 instead of 4-1 and 3-1. 7 goals given up in 2 important games is not "great" by any stretch. The Devils are a good team but Levi and UPL weren't facing the 87 Gretzky-led Oilers and still gave up more than 3 goals a game. That said, the lack of intensity and invisible offense was more of the problem. But the goaltending certainly wasn't great, lol.

I said "soft", not "horrific."

Both of them gave up 3. UPL was perfectly fine yesterday. This game was literally all Devils from start to finish. It would've been much more lopsided if Levi was "soft"

 

[Rcknrollkillnmachine]

Could a Sabres/Bills fan clarify this but from what I understand the Pegulas are hands-off with the Bills but hands-on with the Sabres. Is this true?

Bills are doing well but the Sabres should not be underperforming this badly.

We'll agree to disagree then. Goalies can't give up 3 goals per game in two games straight and then claim to be doing a great job. Impossible. The goaltending was soft, not horrible. And certainly not great. The lack of offense and coaching was horrible though.

Levi stood on his head today. There's a reason he was given the third star.

Watch the games.

The shots were like 32-12 at one point and the score was tied. Levi kept them in the game way longer than they had business being.

 

[Mattilaus]

Greenway is a 1st liner ? Lol

Dillon concussed peterka in the first period and Benson got injured in game 1. We are short staffed.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

NHL teams trolling each other online again?

 

[goonybird]

Gotta feel for Peterka. Great young player. I think the head contact falls under what the NHL now describes as "OK head contact" (Trouba hits) but given they called it interference and it caused an injury, I'd be kind of miffed the 5 didn't hold up.

 

[lordtrillson]

Levi gets run over on that Meir goal and not one sabres player gets in Meir’s face….. Sabres are done

That's great trash posting

 

[Hisch13r]

I have to say it feels really good to be winning games again that I actually feel good about instead of being like "yeah the win is nice but they kind of looked like shit"

Something about Lindy Ruff. No Devils stood up for each other last year... and I am seeing a lot of last year's Devils in the Sabres. Yesterday it was a slow start and a too-late push.

 

[BB79]

Only 80 more games until the suffering is over.

We had a lead for 3 1/2 minutes, raise a banner

Getting ratioed 2:1 in shots is never a formula to win games. Defense sucks donkey, can't blame Levi

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Ok that’s actually pretty funny

The Sabre goalies faced a lot of high danger chances. Guys like Dahlin and Byram were playing like they were wingers. There was more of a commitment to try and score goals than playing sound defensively.

Sounds familiar

If the top minute big dollar guys buying and play the right way the whole group will follow. The Devils look like they’ve all bought in to what Keefe wants. They’re going to have a big year.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I watched both games in their entirety and I did not know Peyton Krebs was playing today until the 3rd period when Buffalo got their 12th shot.

Prior to that, and after that I didn't hear his name.
