The Sabres just can’t get on a run with a loss to the Flyers

1. Sabres playing down to teams for the 3rd year in a row

2. Need a hockey trade to happen. Shake it up a bit.

3. Levi needs more seasoning. He let in a few soft goals the past 2 games. Maybe in all his starts. He swims to much for my liking

4. 8 to 16 seeds in the east all similar. Nhl slowly becoming like nba.

5. Eichel and Reinhardt trades not looking so good…in retrospect…..they have a bunch of 3rd and 4th line forwards….their #1 center would be playing wing on most teams….starting to hear “I need to be better” too much…..shades of Ryan O’Reilly….

6. Garbage dumpsters fire poor defence poor puck management undisciplined penalties too much pinching not enough shots on goal mediocre goaltending

7. You're making it sound like the Sabres are supposed to be world beaters,they're on the same level with the rest of them.

8. Around 20 games in you know what team you are. I think we are just a .500 team again like last year

9. When Levi came straight out of college into the Sabres lineup at the end of the season that year he was incredible! Since then he’s kind of regressed. What is it with the Sabres that if you come to the team you don’t play so hot, if you leave the team you become a top tier player.

10. With the 9th Overall Pick in the 2025 draft, the Buffalo Sabres choose………

11. At some point, realisation should come that this group of players just can't cut it, that they aren't even good enough to challebge for last wild card spot, not even for realistic "in the hunt" coonversation. That is the bare truth, but false hopium is the drug that keeps getting consumed in Buffalo area it seems, where overrated high draft picks are busts in reality. When I see their body language in first 10 mins of the game, that is screaming that they are playing intimidated, I immediately realised they will lose, and sure they did, convincingly.

    So just keep drafting players, like 6'6'' fake No.1 overall cream puffs like Owen Power, who is affraid of his own shadow it seems, what a joke. There are many more duds drafted in recent Sabres history, but I had enough of these bums and losers, until they start drafting guys with character, set of balls and spine, and who actaully know how to slapshot properly, instead of wrist shotting into the goalies crest/pads or miss net completely. What a disgrace.

12. Really disappointed in Levi

13. How many times can we have a chance to go above 500 and squander it.

14. The JV goalie needs to be released. I'm done with him. Dahlin doesn't deserve the C with his atrocious play so far this season, I actually believe he's overrated

15. Too many teams in the league, too hard to make the playoffs

16. ROAM hockey prolly reading these comments crying lol

17. That last step up to the NHL and to be able to play at that level has always been the toughest. Maybe Levi like many young goalies will just take longer to mature. I would not give up on him yet.

18. Taylor Swift 😂😂😂😢

19. Levi needs more time in Rochester, where he should start. Don't ruin his development.

20. You have to make some trades here.

21. There is just no fire in this team… these players. When our Captain say's after the loss "we just didn't play hard enough" there is a problem. 13 year's of not making the playoffs and we aren't playing hard enough?! What kind of incentive do these guys need? This team has a culture problem. There is a reason guys like Eichel, Reinhart… and PLENTY others can't play up to their full potential until they LEAVE Buffalo. At this point the issues are too deep. I have no reason to believe this won't be year number 14.

22. Yea levi really needs something different or idk. He mqde some good saves in this one bht still allowing lots of pucks to slip thru

23. This all goes all to the top. To the ever-expanding league. The more teams they add, the more watered down it becomes. Millionaires who never would have made it back in the days of real hockey…

24. This team needs a healthy Tage and UPL. Those 2 simple things are 50% of the issue now. Levi doesn't have it right now. 1st line when healthy is playoff caliber. 3rd line is playoff caliber. 4th line doesn't matter much. 2nd line is a huge black hole sucking ice time and wins into it.

25. Same old sabres. bring back drury pommenville etc lol

26. The Flyers looked really good last night, and the Sabres had key injuries, but still…..we seem to lose to all of the bottom feeder teams in the conference. This team is too young, too undisciplined, too inconsistent. I thought that Levi should have been in ROC to start the season.

27. The worst part about this season is there is just no development happening. At least last year Peterka and UPL took big steps. Aside from Tage, who’s improving? Greenway, but he’s a UFA at the end of the year. Maybe Byram. Anyone else?

28. The benson thing is because the refs have fragile egos so they take it out on a 19 year old child

29. Joe, this Game can't fairly blamed on Devon Levi. 1stGoal-He is freezing the puck while no Sabres picking up sticks. 3rd Goal-Redirect. 4th Goal-Flyers2-0 with Michkov.

30. What people need to understand, especially with goalies, progression isn’t linear.

31. Not having tage in the lineup feels the same as when eichel was injured and out. Just a huge hole in our team without him

32. Quinn is actually so bad this year he needs to be traded while he still has some value. Same with cozens even tho his contract is horrible. Peterka is horrible (Idc what you say) he forechecks lazily besides when it’s against the boards then sometimes he does good but he’s 95% offense and 5% defense unlike tuch who is 50/50. Power is probably the worst 1st overall possible im starting to think that scouts seeing “6’6” is the only reason he got drafted he seems like he was just blessed with a big frame and 0 skill all thought he is good at puck handling it proves to be useless and half the time he passes everything in front of our net.

33. I think benson gets penalties due to the fact he back checks/ forechecks much harder than most players on this team (besides him, greenway and tuch) he’s really the only one who looks like he’s trying so the officials are just shell shocked watching it so they’re gonna notice it more
