Levi was in GOD Mode today. I truly hope the Sabres can find some consistency. This team has the talent to win some games.... let's make this he first of several straight! Let's Go Buffalo!! ⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔

[@marekstano9045]

Buffalo is one of the most boring and uninteresting teams ever.

[@MrSoosas]

whatching the Habs defensive work is painful. They are just leaving their tendy out to dry. I am happy to see goaltender interference called as ya you can't just push your way thru the crease.

[@misterl2875]

Iffy goalie interference call. Could just as easily been ruled that he was pushed!

[@user-bm6cm4ii3m]

Goaltender alleN is an ALIEN in the NHL. This INSIGNIFICANCE is simply off the charts! I remember what a burden this passenger was to St. Louis: each time he appeared between the pipes caused trembling throughout my body... There’re a lot of goalie rubbish in the league right now, but aleN is an absolutely top quality NONENTITY ... You can NEVER count on him. EVER! This is the ENEMY wearing your team's jersey. Many years have passed since this LOSER WAS ESCORTED from St:Louis but I break into cold sweat every time I remember this jerk in their net

[@Mas0n0saM]

My one gripe with MSG coverage

[@giff74]

Good to see the top end of the roster and PP 1 get things going. Lots of money tied up with those guys, they need to produce. I think Vegas guesstimates the over/under at 98 points to make the playoffs. The Sabres would have to have about a .750 winning percentaget to get there now... SNAFU as always.

[@trvman1]

Buffalo at the beginning of the season already booked their golf t-times because they didn't want to break tradition of not making the playoffs :)

[@giff74]

@@trvman1 Hard to disagree with you! I don't dislike Adams or Granato and there's finally real talent on the roster, but a shakeup and some genuine grit is needed.

Agreed for Allen, however Matheson has high ups and low downs, not only downs... It's a bit different. No one played well besides Armia for the Habs in that game.

inconsistency..... Sabres has signed all top guys for big contract and so t is whether they win or lose. Sabres will not be a playoff team before 2045

[@user-cj6tn4rq1c]

As a Habs fan, it hurts me to see the team completely out of shape. Many of our players felt really tired. Although, I'll admit that the Caufield-Suzukii-Slaf line played a solid game tonight.

[@nikshill8767]

maybe still tired from road trip

[@jonathanlegthigh8264]

Solid game? They had ZERO points. Just stop already FFS!

[@user-cj6tn4rq1c]

@@jonathanlegthigh8264 It's true that they failed to score any point. However, they carried the team from being absolute horrific. For exmaple, during the 1st period, they applied immense pressure for a good entire 2 whole minutes, therefore creating many chances but did not manage to score. Armia's goal was a lucky given from Dahlin's mistake. Without that, the game would have finished with a catastrophic 6-0.

[@Piterally]

No, the 1st line did not do well today. Too many mistakes like caufield kept passing to the other team and suzuki was like invisible in the ice.
