Its the defensive breakdowns/details that killed Buffalo in those games (but really noticeable against Detroit) as they had those defensive mistakes cost 2 goals and the rest of the match was fine for Buffalos gameplay. The fact that they lost the whole game in that 2nd period defensive breakdowns, cost you the game. Bench Quinn! I've been swearing at Lindy for putting him on the ice on when they get an EN extra attacker.
Yes it's done. Lindy couldn't bring his own staff in. Gmka didn't make the moves for the top 6. Didn't find that rsd that has grit. The roster is incomplete.
They aren't a one-line team, but they don't have a functional second line. If they can get Cozens/Quinn going, then I think they'll at least battle for a WC spot. Without a productive second line, though, it will definitely be 14 years without the playoffs. As for November, other than the Ducks and Sharks, there are no games that can be called sure wins, not with the way the Sabres are playing.
All those first round picks and first draft a single first line player
Make some big trades, take chances, the entire chemistry is toxic.
Na season isnt close to being over !!!! Come on its 12 games. Hockey trade needed-Yes , better PP-yes , Better PK-yes , protect home ice-yes. SEASON OVER NOOOOOOO
For frigg sake 5 points back of 2nd in the division . Yes , we shouldn't lose to the islanders or wings !!! But over ??? No way
Lindy was fired for a reason…who the F would hire someone they fired a decade ago who can never win a cup? Poogoola!!!
The season is over…nothing has changed.
I guarantee that they will never make the playoffs again until they make some major changes. Kevy Boy needs to go.
Make Lindy the GM OR PRESIDENT OF HOCKEY OPERATIONS. Bring in coach Q & new assts. And make some hockey trades.
its simple to me. every mistake the Sabres make usually ends up in the back of their net.
Special teams is pitiful. Major reason this team is just like last years.
They need a 5 game win streak to make me believe again, not a dahlin fan at the moment and quinn needs to be scratched everynight.
Idk if it’s over but KA is disappointing. Coaching is fine things have gotten better but same mistakes every year. It’s like they quit for one period.
Its not the coaches its the players we gotta start dishing people out and new players in. How can a young ass team push themselves to the next level if they have never been there. they dont know what the next level is. levi is bad because the competition in front of him is medicore. He gets into a actual game and cant save a thing he doesnt have quality practice with next level guys.
The more I look at this team, I feel kevin Adam’s must go he has no clue on talent. He over pays and he built a horribly soft team.
Benson on PP and second line? Why? We don’t even know if he can score at the AHL level and he’s now an NHL top 6 lol…Kulich is bigger, faster, proven he can score at pro level
Still lots of games left but they got a hole to dig out of
the whole “the sabres shouldn’t have changed their style from 2 years ago” makes no sense to me😂championship teams needs to play GREAT defense, and they were a bottom 10 team defensively and they would have gotten swept in the first round. its fine if they’re better on offense, but they still need to be a strong defensive team.
