***Crushing*** loss. Boys had their opportunities tonight. Plenty of good looks on Lyon. To concede that 2nd goal with Tarasov’s glove getting touched and yet the challenge failing… it’s just been a season from hell on all fronts. Luck, injuries. Getting that 2nd goal with 33 seconds left reminded me so much of the Utah L earlier this year lol
Getting late for a turn-around. Super rough 2pts to cough up tonight. It is what it is.

Damn, lost 3 of 4 games to the Sabres 😆

Jess Blaylock about to be salty from that GI non-call 😤

Can we please just make up our minds on if we want to suck or if we want to dominate. The literal worst case scenario is middling around and finish between picks 11-15

Brutal. Needed to go on a run after the Olympic break, and beat teams ahead of us. This won’t cut it.

The script won’t let this team make it to the playoffs again. That’s at least 4-5 games now that were completely decided by poor ref calls.

It’s just not their year. It shouldn’t be this difficult for a seasoned team, at a minimum, to make the playoffs. The injuries killed them. Winning a game against good teams is just too much for them.

Two goals gift wrapped for buffalo while our team fought tooth and nail for it. If it wasn’t for that no call on goaltender interference and the inevitable empty net we would’ve won

Can this team make up its damn mind. Either fucking LOSE or WIN because I don’t WANT a season without any merit other than all of our players getting permanently damaged .

The Panthers are too slow. They also need shooting practice and why are there two or three Sabres rushing the Panther with the puck? If two or three players are on the puck carrier then there is a serious Panthers coaching issue.

Garbage goalie interference call. Garbage.
Gigalisk
Refs absolutely fucked DOG on that call.

Kind of just accepting maybe we don’t make playoffs. Lot of injuries, coming off back to back cup wins. I’m not angry about it, see you next year.

See you guys Sunday😔

Just a timely reminder that we are smashed to bits by injuries and are nowhere close to good enough to make the playoffs this year.
Going to be an utterly boring end to the season.

Rule 69 nice
TB12_GOATx7
They just pulled up the rules on goaltender interface and you couldn’t paint a better picture of what just happened in the game. Literally word for word

That go ahead go pissed me off so much. we had a 4 on 2 and we dont just shoot the puck? four guys rushing the net, someone will get a rebound if you shoot it. no, let’s just keep passing it for no reason. allergic to shooting.
For those interested, the Scripps Sports postgame is doing a good deep dive on the infamous Rule 69.

I *almost* want to get r/hockey’s take on that call but I can’t take the karma hit
startupsalesguy
Goaltender interference is so subjective and random but I was convinced that was GI.
They passed up too many chances to shoot tonight. CV needed to get a puck on net instead of turning it over and maybe this game goes to OT

Losing is obviously disappointing, but it’s extra disappointing because of how many of these games feel like they were determined by a bad call.
Still plenty of time to be a bottom 10 team and get a juicy pick. I think this shaves it down to like 5 or 6 games we “can” lose before definitely not making the playoffs.

Is there a chance? 🙁

As they said in the film “Babe”
“That’ll do pig, that’ll do.”
Season is over.
Rest up boys no need to get hurt just to miss out on playoffs.
Come back rested and healthy for next year
And sadly, probably a goodbye to BOB before the end of next week

I swear said tarasov said something about what they were smoking or am I hearing things

these late goals are so crushing, especially when they shouldn’t have counted 😑
i see a lot of people here mad over the GI call, but what about carter verhaeghe? bro tries to back pass on a rush while he has an amazing chance and turns it over, leading to the buffalo goal. then he loses the board battle and that leads to the empty net goal.

Bs game, bs refs.
Went to my bi-monthly game, so sorry everyone
