BillsFan4 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) I feel lucky that it’s tied 3-3 heading into the 3rd. Tampa is all over us. But the refs are also allowing them to get away with an awful lot. Tampa’s goalie is their only real weakness. Buffalo needs to ramp up the shots on net.

snafu Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Each goalie is keeping this game close, in different ways. Big difference this year is the Sabres goalie is good enough that they can get away with sloppy play against a better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Wow. Lightning FINALLY called for an interference penalty. They’ve been doing it all night long. Edit - Well maybe the refs were song us a favor not calling penalties on Tampa... that PP was awful.

Alaska Darin Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 If the goalies are swapped in this game it's about 12-1. Their goalie is so bad the Flyers are probably trying to trade for him right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Well, we knew it had to come to an end eventually. Kinda figured it would be tonight. Buffalo was actually lucky that it was a 1 goal game. Tampa dominated for large stretches of that game. Rough game from a few guys, too. Dahlin with some big mistakes. Hutton, for as great as he was, let in a couple that I’m sure he’d like back. Defense struggled without mccabe. But they had s tough task tonight, being down a d man most of the night + beaulieu’s 10 min. misconduct with McCabe already down. They looked exhausted by the end of the game. Oh well. Lets hope they get right back on the winning track tomorrow and start a new streak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Didn’t play that well, down a couple defenseman for big stretches against a cup contender on the road, and a late goal is the difference...Got a ways to go, but man I’ll take where we’re at right now. Will be interesting to see how we play over the next 10 or so. If we can keep from falling into a funk, I’ll really start to believe this thing may be way ahead of where I thought it would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Tampa was a half second quicker and a bit sharper. They won the battles to loose pucks all night. Dahlin and Eichel had some awful turnovers tonight. No shame in losing to the Lightning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said Tampa is a cup contending team. They outplayed us because they have more better players and deadly shooters. Kucherov is terrific. My takeaway from this game isn't discouragement as much as encouragement. The Sabres battled throughout the game. Although it was apparent that Tampa was the better team the Sabres fought and never quit. As I have said in almost every game our first star was the goalie. He was too often left exposed in the slot in front of him. He's tough! In the not too distant future Tage is going to be one of our primary scorers.

It was encouraging because most of them played very poorly, the officiating was poor, and they got beat on the road by 1 goal. I look forward to another streak and a rematch between the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to another streak and a rematch between the two. Tampa is one of the top teams, if not the top team, in the NHL. In watching this game you can see that they were the better team because of their offensive explosiveness. Yet, no one can come away from this game and say that we were out-classed. We battled and battled. Whenever they scored we responded and scored back. What kept us in this game against an elite team is our relentless effort throughout the game and our better goaltending. It is evident that the Sabres are a playoff team. Prior to the season most of us (including me) were hoping to be fringe playoff contenders. From what I have witnessed I have raised my expectation and consider them playoff team. If they don't qualify for the playoffs I will be deeply disappointed. If you put things in perspective the projection for the Sabres by most analysts prior to the season the and where they are now is beyond anyone's expectations. No one can deny that this is a tremendous leap forward. And it is safe to say that have jumped up the ranks more than any other team in the league. That's a lot more than I expected. And that is terrific. 6 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: This was a dangerous hit. Even Jack realized it after he did it. Does he deserve a suspension?

I would say yes. IMO I don’t think it is. Eichel just kind of gave him a little push. Its a play that happens 50 times a game. McDonaugh just happened to lose his balance. Probably 8 times out of 10 Eichel does that and nothing comes of it because McDonagh doesn’t lose his balance. I thought a 2 minute boarding penalty was all the punishment needed. I’d be surprised if Eichel faced any type of suspension. But who knows with the NHL... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
