  1. I honestly swear this league is playing a sick joke on us to see how much they can influence games and playoffs for their ratings over the outrage and making this league a joke. Not sure how many more of these no calls followed by a game changing call I can take. Fuck the refs, fuck the capitals, and fuck Ovi

  2. I mean I get it but like come on. Refs gifted them 2 goals with those fucking Mickey Mouse ass calls. Fuck off NHL.

  3. I hate the refs too, but facts are we blew yet another lead, and had lots of opportunities in OT as well. This team just struggles so much to put games away.

  4. Tuch has got to be smarter than that. Potential captain canr be pulling that shit with the season potentially on the line. Use your damn head

  5. Idk. Reffing could have been better but there is no feeling worse than watching them blow a 2 goal lead twice in the third period.. horrendous performance in the final 20

  6. Everyone crying about chemtrails in the NHL reffing are clueless. Our defense loses us games and continues to. Giving up 4 GAA + a game is not sustainable. We are close and I hope we continue to be right on the doorstep til the end this year.

  7. Refs were bad for sure, but with 2:30 remaining and on a powerplay, you can’t give them that easy of a roughing call to make. Bad decision making in the moment by someone who is supposed to be a leader cost us the game.

  8. Be mad about the calls all you want, but our penalty kill SUCKS. Kill the penalties and that’s two points.

  9. Tuch cannot take that penalty, and cozens has to know better. I don’t care about any of the other calls or non-calls. Those are both textbook penalties, and both 100% avoidable. When you’re up 1 and on the powerplay, you don’t take stupid penalties. Just keep the puck in and run the clock out, dumbass.

  10. Where’s the guy that posts the heatmap of chances our D gives up in games we lose? Wonder if this was one of them, feels like it was

  11. I’ll preface this by saying I don’t know much at all about hockey.

    Why is the Sabres’ defense so bad? Is it lack of talent, style of play leading to more opportunities, a mix of both or something else entirely?

    This team is just completely incapable of keeping a lead and I just have no idea what the cause is.

  12. The highs and lows are more extreme than any team or season I can remember following. They were dominating on both sides of the ice then I can’t possibly explain wtf happened in the 3rd period. The refs fucked us for sure, but we did it to ourselves too. Don’t forget how we were dominant in OT and screwed ourselves again. Man I love this team though!

  13. Greenway with some horrendous turnovers tonight. He then capped his night off by letting Wilson beat him to the net and tie the game up. He’s liability, the more you watch him, the worse he gets.
    Tage needs to put the fucking puck in the net. If he finishes just one of his chances we win this game.
    Allowing a team that played the night before to comeback from down 2 goals halfway through the third is a fucking joke.
    GOODNIGHT, FELLOW LOSERS!

  14. Officially 3-of-5 on faceoffs in OT but I’d score it 4-of-5. That’s how you get over 80% of possession. Just gotta capitalize.

  15. Caps thread calling us bad sports for posting every goal, what an absolutely moronic take
