Tonight the Sabres played in a terrible snooze fest of a back and forth game, losing 3-2 in overtime on the road to the pathetic Blackhawks. Terrible effort.
After quite the boring start to this game, nine minutes into the first, Jack Quinn off some nice work keeping the puck in the zone, passed it over to Josh Norris to setup a rip from Owen Power to put the Sabres up 1-0. Chicago tied up the game with 7:38 left in the first period, with Frank Nazar tipping the puck past Lyon on a cross crease pass from Connor Bedard on the power play. The Sabres answered with 4:14 left in the first on a power play of their own, with Tage Thompson quickly shooting the puck, getting set up with good work on the boards from Jack Quinn. Not bad, but pretty boring and slow moving game.
Even more boring second period, with nothing really going on for either team. We looked a bit better defensively at least.
Got these teams make a slow, lousy game of hockey to watch. The Hawks tied up the game 8:42 into the third period, getting in front of the net to redirect a shot from up top, knocking it down and five hole on Alex Lyon. Tied 2-2 game. It got a bit better with chances for both teams, but we’re on to overtime.
The Blackhawks were the better team through overtime, and with 1:48 left in OT, Ryan Donato got open in the slot wrapping around after Owen Power fell on a simple pick play for Chicago to win 3-2 with a questionable no call for interference. Never should’ve even been at that point against the Hawks.
FINAL: Sabres 2, Blackhawks 3 (OT)
How fucking pathetic that we can’t even beat this garbage team. And what a snooze fest it was. The offense couldn’t generate shit tonight.
