Cater to the negative bravo bro you nailed it
Like I've been saying, this team got worse and that's on Kevyn Adams. So who's gonna score? Thompson was invisible, Tuch was invisible Cozens was invisible. Tomorrow morning's game won't be any different. Yay Lindy's back, it didn't matter UPL gave up some softies but may have gotten injured too. So how bout them Sabres?
2 seasons ago the team embraced a run and gun offensive style and found offensive success. As a result teams started playing them differently. We are now a full season later, and the core players still have not developed an answer to that tactically. Pretty sad. Everyone wearing a letter disappointed.
I feel like a loser admitting how many seasons in a row i saw every game. But i gave up trying to catch them all, listening to pre and postgame, etc. It just felt like they didnt care as much as i did. I got that feeling again today.
The Devils are a better team and seem to have the Sabres number a little bit. Still a fair amount of perimeter play from the Sabres, which is not winning hockey in the NHL. If Adams is serious about making the playoffs, I think he will have to make a significant trade (not Farabee) to upgrade the talent in the top-6. Thompson and Cozens as centers 1-2 may not be the answer.
Real bad start for sure, I would not panic just yet
That was embarrassing. Not ready to play, again.
Maybe Granato wasn't the problem.
Considering UPL is a dumpster fire. Once GMKA gets his head out of his arse and send UPL to the ECHL where he belongs, they may have a chance at playoffs
1st game relaxxx
miss the game, but i eas able to catch last 5mims. Ruff was ticked regarding the poor play upon entry with Thompson. Wonder what he'll do.
Atleast Owen Power is on track to score 82 goals this season
Settle down everyone 81-1 is still possible
What a hype over Lindy Ruff. Adams should be fired asap.
The only REAL positive I can take away from this game, is the fact that Devon Levi gets a chance tomorrow to up his value. We already feel as fans that he should be #2 over Reimer this season, but if he comes out strong, it would get him closer to a 1B.
Only time will tell if of when Levi becomes the 1 or 1A, but a strong game tomorrow is a great place to start.
I would like to thank the awful Mattias Samuelsson for giving the puck away not once but twice in a 20 second span before the 1st goal.
What a waste of money.
Let's also not forget: WE PLAYED THE DEVILS MINUS TWO OF THEIR 6 STARTING DEFENSEMEN. No Hughes; no Pesche. That's two 20-minute a night defensemen who didnt play.
The question has to be asked: Why would Lindy take a job where he could not pick his own coaching staff?
I hope this goes well, Lindy, because the worm will turn real quick if it doesn't. It looks a lot like Lindy came back for a paycheck. Shame.
I cannot tell you how stupid it is that you can only watch the games if you have shitty cable.
Did the Sabres really need to spend time playing EHC Red Bull Munech last week? 🤔 This loss was a wake-up call for them to get back to real business (not sideshow scrimmages) and play better tomorrow! 👏
People act like 13 years is a long drought!! Idk how about being a cubs fan
Kulich should be in top6. Whole sabers supposed deep forward group sucks ass. Only guys on sabres roster worth mentioning is Thompson, Peterka and Quinn, that's 3 guys, and none of them are stars, also Cozens is single most overrated guy ever 3rd line center at best and i think only Ostlund has chance to be your 2nd line center. I bet if Kulich was Canadian he would be in top6 a year ago. Whole Czechia wants him to be traded somewhere else. I am sorry for harshness but this club along with Red Wings has bad reputation here. Also not playing Kulich in his home country before his parents is dick move.
