Buffalo loses a big lead against the Avs again.

They had 3-0, 4-2, 5-3 leads - the last one with 4 minutes left! And, still lost (6-5 in OT).

Drouin scored the game tying goal with 8 seconds left.
Buffalo could lead 8-0 with 10 minutes left in the 3rd period and still find a way to lose.

Being a Sabres fan sure must be hard man... I'd think most of their fans would be on perpetual suicide watch with the way that team goes.

Isles are a team with “serious coaching issues”….


They're a pretty boring team. Their strengths are their defense & goaltending. Forward group has no stars, but some good players like Nelson, who is UFA.

They need to at least re-tool & get a few high picks.

They currently sit at #5 in the draft. They need Buffalo to finish ahead of them to finish 4th, pray they don't move back & pick whoever is left of Hagens, Schaefer, Misa & Marton.

Get 1st round picks for aging stars like Palmieri, etc.

I'm not a big fan of Roy as a coach, but to be fair to him. this isn't anythng close to a good roster. He has to work real hard to get any bit of juice he can out of a very dry lemon.
Isles are dead last in the league in PK and PP… that’s on the coaching staff.

They have good G and solid defensively aware group of players the PK should not be 32nd

These Canadian teams are going to be tough to root for… Schiefele, Tkachuk, Marner…

Calgary have nice jerseys I guess and that Connor guy isn’t bad.
Would be great if all seven made the playoffs. Playoffs would be more exciting. I still cant get excited for the likes of no tax dallas and florida teams.

Dunno if they win against us then they are 6-4 which is their P% since the beginning of the season. So maybe they just lost against us?

They've actually lost 3 of their last 4 games with their only win coming against NYR, who are in a complete spiral. They were shut-out twice, too.

They scored 5 times against NYR, but have only 8 goals in their last 5 games, not including the Rangers games.

They had a fairly easy December. 8 of their 13 games were against non-playoff teams.
