Buffalo Sabres Fan Chatter: The Race To Two Goals Continues In New Jersey

Published Jun. 30, 2017 6:28 p.m. ET

The Buffalo Sabres travel to New Jersey for the second game in the home-and-home set.  Sadly, we all have to watch this snoozer – but join the fun with our fan picks!

The Buffalo Sabres suffered yet another 2-1 loss Friday evening, this time at the hands of the New Jersey Devils.

For those of you keeping score at home, that is the sixth game the Sabres have lost 2-1 this season – and we’ve only played 14 games this season.

So yeah yeah yeah: the Sabres are a tough out, if only they could put a few more pucks in the back of the net, blah blah blah.  Personally, I’m getting sick of that story, but at least this year the Sabres have a good, non-tanking reason.

    With Jack Eichel still out rehabbing his sprained ankle, Dmitry Kulikov sidelined once again, and Tyler Ennis out indefinitely following surgery on a double sports hernia, Buffalo lost Ryan O’Reilly in the third period against the Devils Friday as he re-aggravated the injury that caused him to miss Wednesday’s game against Ottawa.

    Let the good times roll!

    Somehow, the Sabres have to try to find a way to win tonight’s game in the Prudential Center – Matt Moulson, anyone? – and we fans have to find a way to get through another offensive snoozefest without raising our blood alcohol level above .40%.
