"This team honestly ruined my desire to watch hockey anymore": Buffalo Sabres fans dejected over 11th straight loss after 6-1 blowout by Canadiens

Fans reacted as the Buffalo Sabres lost their 11th straight game on Tuesday, falling 6-1 to the Montreal Canadiens. Patrik Laine led Montreal with a hat-trick. Juraj Slafkovsky added a goal and an assist, while Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield each had two assists.

Dylan Cozens scored Buffalo's only goal. Sam Montembeault made 20 saves for Montreal, helping them climb up the Atlantic Division standings.

The Sabres posted the final score on X, where fans shared their frustration.

“This team honestly ruined my desire to watch hockey anymore,” one fan wrote.

Another fan referred to Sabres GM Kevyn Adams’ earlier comments about players avoiding Buffalo due to no palm trees or tax benefits:

“Through the Sabres 11-game losing streak, they have played 11 different teams. All 11 teams do not have palm trees in their province/state. All 11 teams pay taxes. What’s the excuse going to be now?”

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 WE WANT 12!!!!! FIRE SOMEONE NOW FOR FU**S SAKE," a fan pointed.

"Being a fan of this team is kinda what I imagine having a heroin addict for an immediate relative is like. You love them, don’t know how not to love them but they are helpless and ruining your life by being around you," a fan said.

Here are some more reactions from fans on X:

"The Buffalo Sabres after Terry Pegula PERSONALLY flew out to give the team a talking to," a fan wrote.

"DON’T WORRY THE SOLUTION IS “IN THE ROOM” EVERYONE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, WE’VE LOST 11 ‼️ SINGGGGGGGGGG 🌴," one fan mentioned.

"If it wasn't official before tonight, it is now safe to say that the Sabres are the worst team in the NHL. Don't trade that first round pick because it is likely to be a lottery pick, maybe even first overall," another posted.

Juraj Slafkovsky, though, restored Montreal's two-goal lead at 5:54, scoring off a rebound. Laine added two 5-on-3 power-play goals, one-timers from the left circle before Josh Anderson scored from close range at 19:15 to make it 6-1.
