They have played much better from half way through the 2nd. Like they way they have pressed Canes all the way out of their zone instead of backing up.. Now keep it up and go get that 4th one..

Shoot the F'in puck.... Stupid is as stupid does.

Ok a little late to the game and looks like the Sabres are too. OMG, this is deja vue that will not do. Started here before turning on the TV.

Oh no we suck gain...... Or maybe still not enough talent ? https://www.tampabay.com/sports/lightning/2019/11/09/lightnings-fourth-line-pours-on-goals-in-win-over-buffalo-in-sweden/ I know we say we don't number lines on Sabre's but when you look at ice time and roles it often still shows that kind of distribution. IMHO we just don't have enough of that yet across all lines. Adversity has arrived. We will soon learn a lot more about this team. I am interested to see how RK handles this and the players that need help.

In before the start. Dinner date with my lovely wife so I will miss the start and also just found out my direct TV satellite is not working, high winds the last couple of days likely the culprit. Oh well will check in here when back and watch vicariously through all your posts. I'll know as soon as I see a lot of %^&$##%&* how well there playing. We need a bounce back in a big way. Can we start with a solid defense and 5 man play again please. Go Buffalo!

NHL network is crucifying the sabres players leaving open lanes and bunching in 3 and 4, not protecting the center of the ice.

wow thats being spanked right about now... and this was to be your coming out game ... I am in shock how unready to play we look.. When does ullmark get pulled not that he can be really faulted .

Ok Class, this looks like a failing 1st period. Wanted to run with the big boys and show offense but forgot our defense.

Stage fright. pushing offense just a little too hard against a good team..

Yikes look like we left the defense at home....

Class! Test begins in 1 hour and 9 minutes. Sharpen your edges Tape dem sticks. Checking In for da game....

Yep right now we are top of the league and already everybody(last 3-5 games) have been bringing their A game. That's what happens when NHL network and rest of the league takes notice. They want to measure their progress against yours. Good experience for the team to have. If you want to run with the big dogs gotta learn how to be a big dog. That said we are still a few players short and bit of experience from being a top 5 big dog but I am enjoying so far watching them learn. I am with weave here and sense a close to .500 6-8 weeks barring unfortunate injuries. Need to really see what we got and we are going too so hang on and enjoy the ride...

Well we have another test of just where we are coming up Caps and Isles on a back to back and then a trip overseas with another back to back against another top team... and then a real compressed schedule through the end of December because off the trip to Sweden. We will see whether we are a pretender or contender over the next 8 weeks... I was entertained and we got a point so I am not quitting on them until they quit on us.. But I am quitting on you all now... Later fellow fan boys and girls oh and anything in between...

I got the score right just not the team that won..... the Coyotes look for real, glad we don't have to play them but once more..

really we let a Smaltz score..

Big physical team and Sheary does not compute

OMG what did I just see there...

Because the top line needed a rest for OT.

Yeah where is all the pre-season conditioning we heard about...

this is no time for blind passes or cross ice unless its actually open. North south hockey is whats needed now

Come on Buffalo you are getting outplayed here at the end and you are more rested...

he has looked terrible ,. out of position, bad decisions , get him off.

Yikes Hutton has had the harder work tonight come on Sabs lets do this. Erod has been horrible tonight...

The Yotes are just playing clog the neutral zone and waiting for us to make a mistake... Lets not

Ok about time we clear the guy in front and tackle like we have been tackle on the other side.
