Sneaky Jod Biosi here between loss of the Bruins and a Saturday matchup against the Washington Capitals. The Sabres lose their third consecutive overtime game in a row. All by a score of four to three. I did look this morning if you are interested. The NHL record for consecutive overtime losses in a row is five, and only one team did that, the 2013 Red Wings. Will the Sabres lose back-to-back overtime games from here? I think probably not, but the way it’s looked as of late, maybe. Uh, we’ll get to all that happened in this matchup against the Boston Bruins. A lot of good, but a bad result, which has me feeling a little um conflicted about what we saw in Boston last night. the Sabres. I’ll get to some of the goalending conversation that is now surrounding them after not a stellar performance from Alex Lion and where that now currently stands. I want to talk about Tage and Dene a little bit because this is extending further and further. Those two scene of the crime last night. They’ve not been playing their best and there they were on the game-winning goal by the Bruins um at fault. So, we’ll talk about the best two players on the Sabres, and maybe they haven’t been their best two sabers, but that’s coming up a little bit later on on today’s show. 44 and three is the record. The Sabres, I mean, there’s a you could spin it however you want. You could, if you want to feel uh like things aren’t going well right now, you could easily do that by saying that the Buffalo Sabres have played 11 games and they’ve only won four of them. That’s very easy to do and I wouldn’t criticize anybody that wants to do that. On the other hand, you could also look at the Sabres and say, well, they’ve gotten points in seven of their last eight games. That makes it sound really, really good. You could put it as this is what kind of can happen early in the season like this and teams are all kind of jammed together, but the Sabres are simultaneously one point out of a playoff spot. That sounds good. and they also are uh there’s only one team in the Eastern Conference that has fewer points than they do. That’s a bad way of looking at it. So, do it however you want. Really, the reality is we all probably should meet in the middle to some degree because I think last night against the Bruins was a little bit of a microcosm of the season so far, which is I’m watching this team every night and I feel like they look better. I feel like they look like a good team, a a pretty good team. I don’t think they are all world. I don’t think they are a team that’s going to threaten to win the Atlantic division. I don’t think that saying that they should make the playoffs is even fair. I think they should be in the race, but that’s better than what they’ve looked like this early on in many seasons of the past. So, they look better, but the record is the same. the record is worse than it probably should be. I mean, in reality, again, this is kind of how you could do it. You could you could look at their losses and figure out how to make them wins. You could look at their wins and figure out how to make them losses. Well, let’s do the let’s do that. Let’s do look at their losses and figure out how to make them wins because it’s not really that hard. It’s three games in a row that have all gone to overtime. Two games that you had leads in in the third period and last night against Boston was a game the Sabres dominated. There was no question watching that game. I don’t care who you’re a fan of. You know who the better team was last night. The Sabres were far and away the better team than the Boston Bruins. We thought the Sabres were a better team than the Boston Bruins. And the Bruins do look pretty bad. They look like they’re going to be a really bad team. I think their results are really going to start to tank um as the games continue here. And why the Bruins won was they got a couple of oddman rushes and they scored on pretty much all of them. I mean, three of the four Bruin goals came by way of a twoon-one. The opening goal by actually, excuse me, not the opening goal. The the opening goal was the one that maybe wasn’t this Morgan Geeky. Um, David Posternok twoon-one going back the other direction after a turnover by Ryan Mloud and Bo Byum did the right thing which was I’m going to take the the pass away and I’m going to make Postnog beat Alex Lion. Well, he did. He beat Alex Lion. You might want a save there from Alex Lion. That’s an allworld goal scorer right there. Um, I guess it was only two because then the the overtime goal by Marat Hustadino practiced that name a couple times. Hadinov comes in with and it’s Jack Quinn back who’s not the guy that you want defending a two-on-one. It was almost a threeon-one in three-on-ree overtime and Quinn did the same thing Byron did. Made the right play like I’m going to take this pass away and I’m going to I’m going to trust my goalie to make that save and he did not. The reason I thought it was three is because I’m thinking back to the Lucan in Toronto goal which looked very similar to the Husnadino goal which was John Tiverus on a two-on-one or kind of a partial breakaway even more so and he has to just beat the goalie clean and he does he does that to Lucin. So that was an overtime loss a couple games ago. Um last night the Sabres outshoot the Bruins 40-22. They came out of the gates hot too. Like I think they had the first seven shots of the game when uh the first period rang. When you look at some of the five on five stats in this game, the Sabres shot attempts, they beat the Bruins 52 to 42. Um shots at five on five only, 29 to 16 in favor of the Buffalo Sabres. Scoring chances were 29 to 14 in favor of the Sabres. High danger chances 12 to five. um expected goals at five on five only 3.7 for Buffalo 1.3 for Boston all situations if you include power play 5.7 expected goals by the Buffalo Sabres in this game compared to 2.3 for the Boston Bruins 5.7 and I know I’m including power play there but it’s not like the Sabres had 10 power plays in this game. That’s a lot of expected goals. It is the highest that they’ve had in a game this season. Um, if you were to go back previous seasons, they actually in the last three years only beaten it one time. They had 6.3 expected goals for in a March loss to Montreal last year. Isn’t it funny? They actually lost that game. Um, in fact, here’s a pretty crazy stat for you. Last three years combined, the Sabres three highest totals of expected goals for, they lost all three of those games. I maybe that maybe you’re in your car right now screaming that’s why expected goals don’t matter. I mean, sure, but it is supposed to tell you how the game looked more than what the scoreboard said. And that would match up with what last night looked like. 5.78 to 2.32 is what the game looked like. The Sabres were far and away the better team and were throughout the entirety of it. Last night, it’s kind of disappointing because I liked the idea of Alex Lion playing. I didn’t want to see Ukap Lucan in between the pipes. They put Lion in there and he came up short. He didn’t perform at all. I mean, he allowed by the numbers right there for you. Pretty easy to figure out. The Bruins were expected to score 2.3 and they scored four. So 1.7 above expectation was allowed while the Bruins held with not even their starting goalie Jonas Corposalo between the pipes. 5.78 expected by the Sabres. They score three. So 2.7 goals scored below what they were expected. Goalending really hurt the Sabres in this one. Some missed opportunities. Rasmus Dalene for instance had a wideopen net that he missed that was set up by Taage Thompson. So I don’t know. We’ll get to how we’re supposed to feel about this game. I want to feel okay. Like, yeah, good. They look like a good team and they dominated the Bruins for 60 minutes and, you know, bleep happens and sometimes you don’t win that. But this season’s not about, well, I hope they look good and show signs of growth. The season’s about the results only. This season is about the playoffs. And you got to find ways to win a game that you’re supposed to win. And that’s one out of a possible four points in two games against the Bruins that you’re supposed to win because that team is not as good as you are. Anyways, the goals in this game, by the way, very quickly, Dene with a blast one-time from the point. They made it two to one in the second period. Benson, Zack Benson, who I thought had his worst game as a Buffalo Saber to my eyes. I thought he was turning the puck over. He uh missed the net on a fouron-one opportunity. When have you ever known Zack Benson not make the right decision in a situation like that? really it was decision- making with the puck all night that I didn’t like from Benson. That’s his thing. That’s the thing he’s good at. I thought he was very off on this night. It is funny though that even while I say that, I thought watching him it was his worst game, but then I went to the numbers after and looked and he was 70% expected goal. So, um yeah, I didn’t love Benson in this game, but he did get an assist on that Den goal. A little behind the back pass on the power play. Josh Dolan with a really nice goal beginning of the third period. He continues to play well. His fourth goal of the season. And then Alex Tuck got a rebound goal to tie it up in the third. I mean, a good rally by the Sabres to tie it at three after being down three to one. Two goal game with 13 minutes to go. You lose that game 90 times out of 100. Um, and the Sabres fought their way back to at least get the point. A dumb penalty at the end of regulation. Jordan Greenway takes a dumb dumb penalty and he cost valuable minutes where the Sabres could have been attacking in overtime. They had to work really, really hard to get out of that. Matias Samson I thought played really well on that penalty kill. I thought he had another strong game and he’s been awesome this year so far. So credit to him. Um and then the threeon-ree goal. Let’s talk about the threeon-ree goal when we come back cuz Tae and Dene they were at the scene of the crime and they are not playing like the Sabres best players right now. That when we return here on the Locked on Sabres podcast. Today’s episode of locked on sabers is presented by FanDuel. Blue Jays going for the World Series tonight.

The Sabres and the Bruins. It goes to Boston. They win both games against the Sabres in the first 11 meet 11 games of the season and they are not a good hockey team. So in this game, Sabres get goals from Dallene Don Tuck. Dene actually had two points on the night. And you look up at the stat sheet and I think that you could look at Dene and say, “All right, nine points in 11 games. Not bad. It’s a pretty good pace, right? That is a, you know, doing some rough math here. It’s about a 70 point pace on the season. That’s good for Dene Thompson. Little less so, but still fine. Nine points in 11 games, four goals. That might be the area where you’d like a little bit more. That’s not quite a 40 goal pace or anything close to it, but it’s again about a 70 point pace for Tae Thompson. Fine. You think he’s capable more of that? I would agree. Um, I think we all watch them right now and know that they’re not at their best and know that Taige has had some turnovers. He has had some fumblings of the puck. He has not been scoring on the amount of opportunities that he probably should be scoring on. Thompson on the year has 50 shots on goal through 11 games. That leads the National Hockey League. Nobody has more shots on goal this season than Ta Thompson does. 50. So I look at that and I think all right well he’s getting his opportunities. Um if you look at his expected goals or not even well yeah I guess but a comparison to some of the other players of the league he’s scoring a little bit below what he probably should be for the amount of chances um that he is getting. I mean, he has had 38 scoring chances. Um, Posternok, for instance, has had 35 on the year individually, and he scored on seven of them, while Thompson has scored on four of them. So, you’d like a couple more goals from Ta. Are they playing horrible? No. But there are mistakes and these guys got to be great. And they got to be great every night. The Sabres only have so many great players. They have some good players. They don’t have many great players. And these two got to be great. And last night you cannot have in threeon-ree overtime, which by the way is the time of the game where you need your superstars to perform because the ice now is wide open and I need my best skaters and I need my best offensive players. I need my best playmakers because it’s a lot more one-on-one hockey and you got to beat a guy straight up. Whether that’s with skating, whether that’s with stick handling, the right moves at the right time, one-times, you got to have all of that ready to go in a threeon-ree much more than you do in a five on five situation. And the open ice part of it, I mean, Thompson, Dene are guys that should be out there all the time in threeon-ree or as much as you could get them out there. Whereas other Saber players that have performed really well this year, look at their two best forwards, Zack Benson and Josh Dome. I think they’ve been the most consistent forwards on the season, right? They don’t really play three on three overtime. I mean, Don does a little. Benson doesn’t really much at all because the ice opens up and these guys who are really good at battles and, you know, playing the team game at five on five and rebounds and whatnot, like those those areas of ability are not really needed as much in three. So, they kind of take a back seat, which means you need more out of the guys that have the physical traits, um, the elite physical traits like Tage and Dene. And what do I get? I get a Saber team that is doing pretty well in threeon-ree. They killed the penalty. They had the puck for a while. And now here comes Dene. He’s got the puck. We are, you know, couple of minutes left in overtime. Less than three minutes to go in overtime and he’s by himself. Sabre’s actually making a change behind him. And Dene is a defenseman. So going up on the play and there are three Bruins around him. No saber around him yet. And I thought watching, all right, he’s doing the right thing here. Dene is taking the puck. He entered the offensive zone and he’s going to take it over to the wall. He’s either going to spin around or he’s going to fire it around on the boards because now at that point his teammates will have joined him. But nobody’s with him yet. You got to delay. You got to wait for everybody to get there with you. And instead, what Dene tries to do is he takes the aggressive line of trying to pull the puck back and then go between the defenseman’s legs and then through to the net. He doesn’t even get close to that because by the time he pulls the puck back, he’s wiped out. Big mistake. So already what Darene has done is he has stuck his teammates with a threeon two going back the other direction and two forwards meanwhile that he is stuck going back the other direction. Now the puck is turned over and I get another mistake from the other Saber best player which is Tage Thompson. Thompson who I mean he’s not even in the picture when Darene turns it over. He’s got ample time to loop around and join Jack Quinn defending and he could have easily done it. And instead, what does Tage do after his teammate, his captain Dallene, has just taken the ultraaggressive play and had it fail? Taage takes the ultraaggressive play and he goes for the hit or the immediate poke check along with the hit. What that does then is allow a pass around him to create an oddman rush to where really it’s kind of a threeon-one going back against Jack Quinn of all people. And credit to Jack Quinn, he actually plays the play well. Um but it’s not a guy that typically you’re trusting back there in that situation defending a threeon-one. Diene’s turnover which was unnecessary followed by Tage getting lost in the play and getting behind everybody because he made the wrong read. Now Boston comes back the other direction and this is what happens on the goal. It’s Jack Quinn has to make a decision. I got to either challenge the shot or I got to take away the pass and he does the right thing. He takes away the pass which was Elias Lindholm and then Hus Nadino just rips it past Alex Lion. So sure I want to go I want to stop there from Alex Lion. I really do. But it should have never got to that spot because your two best players made two errors that got you into that position. And that cannot happen because I don’t know what else to tell you about what they should do in threeon-ree overtime. They’ve lost three in a row. And I would love to sit here for 20 minutes in this podcast and really break down what they should do differently. I mentioned that Benson and Don really don’t play a lot in threeon-ree, but I’m not really itching for them to go out there. I mean, Benson’s improved his skating, but those aren’t those aren’t open ice skilled guys that that I’m thinking are better options for me at those at those times. Um, do you want me to take who off the ice? Power? I said that the other night. Maybe he should play less than three and three, but he didn’t play in this threeon three overtime. Um, there’s no, you can’t take Den off. You can’t take Tage off. They You just got to trust them to make the right decisions. And when they don’t, and when they don’t, when they they make wrong decisions back to back, man, that kills. I mean, there’s nothing really else to say on like, hey, how should they be better in three overtime? Well, they just need their best players to make better decisions. And I I’m not taking them off the ice. I’m going to trust them to do it. So like I don’t think this is critical. I don’t think I think it’s kind of a coincidence. It’s a couple of bad plays here and there. Kique makes a bad play on one. Uh Power makes a bad play on another. Here and Ta make a bad play. Lion, you’d like a save. Lucan and you’d like a save. All this kind of gone together. It’s a lot of it’s like seven, eight actions that all are going against you. But I think personally if the Sabres continue to play threeon-ree overtime and they keep getting these games to OT, I think they’re going to the results are going to start to turn. They’re not going to lose every overtime go game. I don’t think they’ve been so bad in these overtimes where they’re just getting wrecked that I shouldn’t expect they’re going to win some of them. I do. I think they’ll clean it up and you keep the guys out there that you’ve been playing. Um, the best I can do for a take on like what they could do differently. I had this idea last night after the goal because Dene shows there like he’d like to be a little bit more aggressive and I do think that even though he’s a defenseman, he’s your most talented offensive player after TA in that overtime session. So, let him play forward. This is not the guy that calls WGR and says, “Oh, they should put they should put Dali at center.” Uh, it’s not that. It’s go with two defenseman. Put Byum out there with him or put Owen Power out there with him or put any Timonss. That one I might not want to do um as much. But like Byum, you want to put Byum out there with Dene, kind of free Dalene up to be a little bit more aggressive to try to play one-on-one hockey in the offensive zone a little bit more cuz he’s got somebody back that he could trust. Not that Jack Quinn was at fault last night. That’s an idea I had. Go two defenseman when Diene is out there on the ice and three on three. Have him and Ta have that freedom to really be as aggressive as they want to be. Um, well, not this aggressive, I guess. Dial it back from what we saw last night. But if they still want to be a little aggressive, I think that’s fine. So, there we go. I think you just got to cross your fingers that your best players are going to make better decisions. Three straight overtime losses. It’s weird. 43 in all of them. Um, but hopefully that luck turns when we return. What about the goalending? We talked a little bit about Alex Lion here. What should the Sabres do next? Because now that Lions had a couple of rough games in a row, I think it’s a really interesting question that when we return here on the Lockdown Sabres podcast. Today’s episode of the Lockdown Sabers podcast presented by Monarch.

Sabres and Capitals tomorrow. what the Sabres should do in net going forward. So, not a great game from Alex Lion here. Alex Lion his worst game of the season. All right. Like he allows um two goals above expected really in this one. If you go back and look through what goals you actually would like back again like this is kind of where like the expected goals can come in handy cuz would I want him to make all these saves? No. But between the the Husnadino goal at the end of in in overtime, the Posternok goal, which is a two-on-one, and the Morgan Geeki goal, the first one, which is a power play goal that’s kind of a one-on-one shot. Great scoring opportunity. He’s in the slot. Sabres had a lot of those cross ice passes go against them and then the penalty kill. Um, so that one like I wouldn’t on its own say Lion’s got to make that save. Or even Apostro, Lion’s got to make that save. Who’s Nadino little closer, but still not 100% Lion’s got to make that save. What I’d like to say though is of those three goals, I’d like him to save two of them. At least one. At least one. You’d like two. Three’ be great. None of them is a bad game. That’s how I treat those three goals. the the Castell at goal that’s kind of on the goal line. It’s kind of a bang bang play. It’s a gritty goal like that just kind of happens. The other three where you just had a wrist shot beat you one-on-one clean even if you didn’t have any help defensively. I’d like I’d like two of those saves at least one. So bad game for Lion. And he also wasn’t fantastic. Um I think it’s fair to say in the uh in the Sabres previous um loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, not terrible. didn’t think he was great though at all. Did let it four. Um, what do you do coming up next? I’m not ready to go to Lucinan. Lucinan scares me. I’ve been hard against Lukanin all season. Listen, he’s coming back from injury. So, am I 1,000% against putting him back in there at some point, especially now that Lion might be struggling a little? I did say what my how I would treat it is keep UPPL out of the rotation until somebody else gives them a reason to put him into it. Well, again, Lion has kind of done that here, but that doesn’t mean that I would go UPL next. Now, I’m kind of settling into how I think I guess they should do it. There should be really a line here. There’s a there’s a line next at the window is the guy it this point would be Colton Ellis. That’s what I would do. I would start Colton Ellis against Washington. He was going to start against Toronto. He didn’t because he was tight. He played the game against Detroit before that and looked really, really strong. I like his background. I like his potential. I’d like to see him play and think there’s a possibility he could actually be a good goalie for the Sabres this year. So, at home against Washington, I’d go with Colt Ellis. And this is how I guess I would treat it for all non-backtobacks going forward. If Colton Ellis plays well against Washington, you go with Colton Ellis against Utah. If Colton Ellis plays well against Utah, you go with Colton Ellis against St. Louis. If he plays well against the Blues, you go with him against Carolina. So on and so forth. Ellis’s turn. Ellis, it’s kind of it’s make it, take it. There. There we go. That I’ve been searching for the right analogy. That’s right there. Was a layup. Uh no pun intended. Make it take it. The Sabres goending situation should be make it, take it. Now it’s Colton Ellis’s ball. If he makes the basket against Washington, he should get the Utah game. He makes that one, he gets the St. Louis game. On the flip end, if he misses his shot, if he plays poorly against the Capitals, then I go to Lucinan against Utah. And if Lukan plays well against Utah, Lucinan gets St. Louis on a Thursday. If he plays well against St. Louis, he gets Carolina on a Saturday. If UPPL plays poorly against Utah, then I’m back at Lion. So on and so forth. That’s how I would go with goalie coming up. I think Lion to the back of the line. He might get back in quick. Who knows? Colton Ellis has played one NHL game and UPPL’s been actually a bad goalie for four years uh in the totality of it. So, uh Lion could get right back in there. If you think, well, Alex L should be the team starting goalie even though it’s two bad games. He played really well in the first six. I understand that he’s got a shot to get back in. He doesn’t have the strongest competition. Um, but that’s my favorite idea at the moment for how the Sabres should treat their three goalie situation. All right, that is going to do it today for the Locked On Sabres podcast. Sabres four, four, and three. Little odd uh that record, but it is what it is. Check out locked on NHL game night. You want more on all the games across the NHL? Don’t have a lot of them tonight because of obviously the Blue Jays game. Uh, Toronto fans all in on that.

The Buffalo Sabres have had three results in a row that are exactly the same result. A 4-3 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins has fans asking what is wrong with this team once they get to overtime? Sneaky Joe looks at mistakes by Rasmus Dahlin and Tage Thompson which led to Thursday’s loss, as well as the worst performance of the season by Alex Lyon.

Should the Sabres change up anything in overtime? Plus, what Joe believes Lindy Ruff should do with his goaltending trio, a make-it-take-it strategy involving Lyon, Colten Ellis, and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.
