Well here we go for another chance at a 3-game win streak. No lineup changes is the Lindy Ruff coach I expected until someone else earns it or someone else doesn't play up to the standard, which is as it should be. LFG go Buffalo, keep the home fires burning and win the fans back.

Another chance to see which team shows up tonight. If Lindy is back to being a coach that holds them accountable, I expect the same line up as the other night. When changes do happen, it needs to be because they were earned not just given. LFG Buffalo, beat the Rags because my insufferable brother-in-law is an in-your-face Rangers fan from Long Island.

ding, ding, ding, winner, winner, chicken shaught dinner! I liked the article from Torts LGR4GM had a few posts above. His coaching style is what this group of youngins needed to figure out the wheat from the chaff. Lindy has sounds like too much of the friendly grandfather giving advice instead of when he was barking out orders and benching the ones not listening.

If this team is going to sniff the playoffs, I expect to see a team that bounces back after the last loss and uses the home ice advantage for a win. LFG Buffalo, make it so!

Tapping into the adage even a blind squirrel finds a nut I see but I fear it will be a left one when what we need is the right one. If it finally kicks him to the curb well then let's have at it but the compounding effect to record for futility and demoralizing of the fan base has been shameful.

Hocous, Pocous, this team goes in and out of focus if I say yes, I fear they smoke us. They will tease us all season but confidence in this group is lacking, I fear the result, hence close but no cigar unless we replace the Czar (KA).

Like the momentum they have started building back and a legitimate positive home record. Looks like Fla is back at full strength, so hoping to see the compete level and results they have been getting work against one of the top contenders. Let's Go Bflo, we want four, keep the winning streak alive.

Very well explained in layman's terms and appreciated for us not master class tactician fans.

Had to give up my mini packs when i moved to Pittsburg 30+ years ago. I used to come home for a few games a year but also gave that up several years ago with the way they have been playing. I would come back for some games on family visits if they turned into a good less frustrating team.

if it walks and quacks like a duck then .......

Well if he really is another Risto then my answer is you try and trade him and get the most you can like we did with Risto.

Last night was one of the few games I get to see all of here in Pittsburgh. I cannot believe we looked out physicaled by the Pens. I agree with all the players called out in this thread for poor play. Correction, Owen Power for a defenseman does not play to his size or position, poor decisions or neutralize the players he is covering. Cozens should not be centering the 2nd line with how he is playing, he looks like he gained no strength or stamina in the offseason which should have been his off-season plan and currently is not worthy of the A he's been gifted. Quinns game also appears off but maybe it's the center he has and coach change, but his confidence appears lacking. Last where is the coaching, where is Lindy we used to know who shuffled lines and players when they weren't always needed and now needs something to change this team's mojo. At least I don't get to watch that again tonight and can just check online to see what they are or are not still doing right. If they win, I am guessing Levi will have a lot to do with that not necessarily better PP or execution by the forwards or D. Let's go Buffalo, Mostly Wishful.

Curious which goalie gets the start tonight. Will they alternate or go with one in back-to-back games if he plays well and is the reason for the win. I expect them both to play and hope they show us the team we need to be for the playoffs. LFG Buffalo make it so.

Let the redux begin. Clean the dirt off that trip and show us what you got and are going to really be Sabre's. Mud Wash. LFG!

Yeah a bit disappointed they didn't show better in the first two games, but possibly it was too much of a distraction with the hype and sightseeing for a young team. I really want to see a solid start here at home for the next two games, wash the stink of that road trip away and start building back their confidence. Let's go Buffalo make home ice an advantage this year out of the gate.
