GDT: Sabres at Jets, 3:00 p.m. EDT; March 23, 2025

[Mattilaus]

Maybe McLeod and Norris are our 1C and 2C next year.

I can't tell if comments like these are a joke or not anymore

Reiner won that game
1st period was not good team play

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Omitting a player with a 4 point night was an interesting choice.

and a guy without a face as 2nd star

Scare them into a Buffalo victory

Reiner is such a meathead though (All In The Family reference for the geezers here)

Maybe McLeod and Norris are our 1C and 2C next year.

please, please do not force a player good where he's at into something he is not. Lets be careful with that.

We keep being fed a line of crap on Norris, lets see when he plays again

Just got finished watching the game.

We should have gotten run out of that building today. Reimer saved 3-4 shots that really should have gone in, plus the Jets hit a post or two.

We cashed our opportunities though, so full credit there.

But wow....sooooo many primo chances against today.

Then I'll just skip the season.

Skipping the season sounds like a good thing to do anyway. There’s less anger then

continued anger for 14 years is the only thing we have left

Watch out McKenna, Buffalo's coming for ya.

Watched on DVR.

After yesterday, I see only 2 outcomes for this game:

1.) Winnipeg absolutely blows our doors off and runs us out of the rink
2.) A convincing Sabres win that leaves us thinking "Why can't they do this every game???"

Comrie giving up 2 on 7 shots is a very Buffalo-involved stat.

(and)

If it makes you feel better, the Jets doubled us up on shots and it was really just Comrie blowing it (looked familiar).

Wasn't the narrative when he was with BUF that he was either (A) playing well but getting no goal support, (B) letting in too many, (C) both A and B ?

I swear he's just laughing at that point in the game.

surprised to see Kojak on the PP

It was the extreme end of the PP. Sabres had just had their first PP SOG by Benson after nearly 6 min of PP time in the game (unless a couple of the point shots in their 3rd PP were stopped by Comrie - I think the 2nd point shot just prior to Benson's shot wasn't wide and was indeed on goal.

Nearly 3 full power plays before a SOG-for was registered...

Kozak with a powerplay goal?

I think scored 1 second before or after the penalty expired.

I’ve actually really liked Clifton as a bottom pairing D. He can stay.

I've felt that way all year. He's not the problem, and for his role is just fine.

Dahlin, Byram, Clifton for next year. Upgrade the rest. Bryson as the 7th (or more preferably) 8th.

Whats extremely frustrating about this team is they could win 5 in a row or lose 5 in a row at anytime to any teams.

They beat Vegas and Winnipeg but will lose to teams like Anaheim.

Thats why I am a firm believer in fixing the defense first and play better defensive hockey. I think the forwards although not great are good enough to win games 3-2 or 4-2 if the defensemen are competent. I also don't think playing better defensively means sacrificing offense. They need to play better as a unit.

The whole team is ill-built for puck possession. far too frequently they don't play as a unit. It's exposed dramatically when they are on the power-play. I've never seen 4 opponents so easily and consistently neutralize a Sabres PP.

Dance off!

They beat Vegas because a guy pulled a Leon Lett move and beat Winnipeg that was the most absurd example of dumb luck you will ever see.
