GDT: Sabres vs Canadiens 12:30 PM ET - TV:MSG Radio:WGR550 - 4 our Veterans

[5 Minute Major]

Some of you are a little extra today. We lost tage after 6:30 minutes of play. Down a defensemen not too long after tage went off. Goaltending was a stinker and that's on UPL, but with such a short bench for so much of the game, a win was going to be tough.

They weren’t playing the New Jersey Devils. They had a lead in the 3rd period.

 

[Mike McDermott]

Supervisors from my work were at the game for an outing/team builder thing. I’m blaming them for the loss since they were in attendance.

 

[Fjordy]

Dahlin and Byram have been playing for 30 minutes a day now, they can make mistakes, but this idiot GM has done almost nothing to make everything work, this bastard owner is just an asshole, I'm furious,

Owen Power hi, don't you need a mentor to develop properly? No, why, let it all go to ass.

Reimer on waiver

Levi just sit

f***ing Adams

 

[kirby11]

Why is anyone surprised that if you keep playing a goalie every night because the other guy shouldn't be playing in the NHL right now he's going to eventually get run into the ground and have a real bad night. This loss is all on the organizational incompetence.

They've super slow cooked everybody else in Rochester and ensured there are tons of veterans ahead of them that would need to get injured to even get a chance at cracking the NHL lineup, but also decided Levi was the anointed one off of a seven-ish game stretch two years ago. It's not even a matter of Pegula being cheap, this one just feels like Kevyn's a total ****ing idiot

 

[Reddawg]

Ladies and gentleman, Rasmus Dahlin!

Well, at least we’re only paying him you know what never mind.

 

[toomuchsauce]

This was a game that, had they won, would have put them in a playoff spot. So they lost, and looked ridiculously bad doing so. What else is new?

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

They weren’t playing the New Jersey Devils. They had a lead in the 3rd period.

blah blah blah...any team can win on any given night...blah blah blah. Hard loss. Move on to the next one. Hopefully we see tage back by then.

 

[Dreakon13]

Heaven forbid this damn team gives us something nice to think about for more than a few days

 

[Chainshot]

This was a game that, had they won, would have put them in a playoff spot. So they lost, and looked ridiculously bad doing so. What else is new?

It seems like we should've expected this - afternoon game, close to crossing a threshold, lower team in the standings on a long losing streak... TRAP!

 

[Fjordy]

It’s embarrassing how our 2 number 1 overall players played against the worst team in the league.

Pathetic.

It's not their fault. Dahlin played almost 30 minutes against Calgary 24 hours ago. Power no mentor. And you, bastard, are just provoking.

 

[zenthusiast]

Dahlin’s folly at the end of the period was laughably poor, but the man did tie the game up in the third on the way to another lead that they choked away. It looked to me like he left it all out there and ran out of gas

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Lankinen was available after Reimer was lost to waivers.

 

[toddkaz]

When will we see Lindy's stamp on this team?

They still play like Granato is the coach.

 

[Chainshot]

I was gonna buy one of those reversible jackets but I can't support this team losing to Columbus and Montreal like they did.

The team is also reversible - win a few, lose a few...

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

It seems like we should've expected this - afternoon game, close to crossing a threshold, lower team in the standings on a long losing streak... TRAP!

This team has done nothing to distinguish themselves from and to be able to look down upon a team like the Habs. As far as I'm concerned , they're on the same damn tier. We both will be sitting at home come playoff time. Sure , we'll finish ahead of them but it means squat at the end of each season if you don't make the dance.

 

[Fjordy]

When will we see Lindy's stamp on this team?

They still play like Granato is the coach.

What does Lindy have to do with it? They played well against the Rangers, Ottawa, and Calgary for half the game. But our lineup is simply not playable. Quinn is still playing (I want to ask Lindy about this). Dahlin and Byram are playing 30 minutes. Thompson left halfway through today, Samuelsson too. They are tired. It looks like a beer league. The goalies can't stop the puck, the defense is confused.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

It’s embarrassing how our 2 number 1 overall players played against the worst team in the league.

Pathetic.

TBH it’s embarrassing how they play most games.

 

[K8fool]

we suck in afternoon games


everyone other than Thompson and peterka can't finish and do stupid ahl things

we're back to the entitled first round nonchalance BABIES think they get handed a win in a parity league

they relax when they got a lead twice and deserved this loss

are you the detailed checking step on their necks team or this babies team

saw good plays by Krebs and dahlin bit equally goofy plays that led directly to goals

Levi needs to play a lot or he's shite he's always been a starter fook Reimer and get an older experienced goalie so what if it costs a trade . Then we have three goalies w Levi working on his game in ahl we don't know what goes on behind the scenes Adams is not to blame for this lame loss and they are all learning Levi needs reps to stay good has 22


This team needs to win games against b.s. teams and win without tage Thompson


how'd he , Thompson, get injured ?

Why was no Canadian killed if it was a cheap shot?


why wasn't Gallagher beaten just for fun?


wtf , why did we lose a game we were dominating possession 5 on 5 , we had two dumb and a ridiculously bad call by shite ref bit c'mon we still were leading 5 4 terrible soul crushing defeat against a team you're better than

why wasn't dude killed slew footing dahlin by scum coach st Louis Tampa scum that taught paciotetty and should be murdered at hotel or simply beaten by fans for having the nerve to breathe buff air we're slipping w our commitment

 

[sabremike]

A horrible play I don't think anyone noticed was Cozens with a completely open lane right to the goalie for a super high danger chance and he just holds the puck and skates back to look for a pass.

No IQ, Coyle 2.0 (before draft talked about it)

You can't be serious. If you think a coach has nothing to do with how a team plays then why doesn't Pegula save a few dollars and just hire a scrub.

All our yutes are tentative and Pejorative Slured a lot even dahlin and power

Benson is most reliable yute

They’re a dumb team

 

[Chainshot]

I don't think any of us were expecting Jack Quinn's autumn of our discontent. I know I would put him in the press box for the next game, even if Thompson is out.

 

[Fjordy]

You can't be serious. If you think a coach has nothing to do with how a team plays then why doesn't Pegula save a few dollars and just hire a scrub.

I'm f***ing serious, very serious. The coach has something to do with it, but in this game specifically, what could he do? Two injuries, goalies not helping out, defense in chaos, offense lacking proven top 6 guys. My only question to him is why Quinn keeps playing.
