That line in the last minute was dead. They put in the only effort of the game from minute and a half before the other line scored 30 seconds later.

Why send a gassed line to do nothing? The 4th line would’ve done better by far.

So what can we do now ? They dont have what it takes this year with these group of players . They loose games they should winn . After First goal they give One away for free . Just cant do that . They arent good without the puck giving away easy goals . They dont forecheck aggressive on the box play directly at blue line like Carolina does. They dont get dangerous chances playing on the outside .

They need to make some trade for impact leader/star .

Byram and pick for something better up front .

I’m pretty sure we are much better than the Islanders, but we play too stupid to beat them. They capitalize on mistakes and we make plenty.

It's not effort ... I'm so sick of people saying that. It's that these guys don't have the hockey smarts to play a real system and adapt their game to how their opponent defends them. They're only good against teams that want to play up and down the ice with them.
I hear you but not finishing checks and clearing our net or hunting loose pucks around Levi is effort

I think its preparation more than effort. They just come in flat and sometimes never get out of it. Today being a prime example.

Lot's of guys channeling their inner Jeff Skinner tonight.

What started off as a strong effort quickly devolved into typical Sabres low IQ hockey.

This is also a lame excuse any Sabre will do better when going to another team there is just no accountability for having several bad games. No one cares when D men are literally letting passes go right by them.
