Power is a pylon at best.

The offensive stats, man. And the potential. So much potential.

Why?

Because Dan.

Sabres around the net be like...

Haha! Grok is still thinking about the Sabres.

REVISED GAME PREVIEW This team has taken what should've been a season of f*$king glory and turned it into a godda%n circus of errors. They're so off-target, they couldn't hit a cow's a$$ with a banjo. Their offense? It's like watching a bunch of blindfolded nuns trying to score in a brothel. Their defense? Holy s@#t, it's like they've got their heads so far up their a$$es, they're seeing out their own mouths. They've made "defense" sound like a dirty word, and not in the fun, kinky way. And this losing streak? It's not a streak; it's a f*$king saga. Ten games? That's not just a slide; it's a da%n cliff dive into the abyss of mediocrity, with fans strapped to their backs for the fall. Pegula's pep talk? More like a f*$king funeral speech for their dignity. "We have faith in you"? Faith? That's like having faith in a colander to hold soup. The only thing they've got faith in is their ability to f*$k up spectacularly. And their strategy? It's like playing chess with checkers pieces, blindfolded, and high on cough syrup. There's no plan; it's pure, unadulterated chaos. The players look like they've never seen ice before, or maybe they're just allergic to it. It's not just infuriating; it's like watching someone try to light a cigarette in a hurricane. The fans? They should start a da%n support group because watching this team is like watching your favorite series get canceled after a cliffhanger. It's a f*$king travesty, an embarrassment, and it's pi&&ing off anyone who cares about Buffalo hockey like a bee in your shorts. So, the Sabres are a f*$king disaster, and if they don't get their s@#t together, this season will go down as the most pathetic in history. Pull your heads out of your a$$es, Sabres, because right now, you're not just losing; you're setting fire to hockey, and we're all just watching the smoke rise.

Tonight's Battle on Ice: Buffalo Sabres Face Off Against les Canadiens de Montréal Puck Drop: 7:00 PM EST (or whenever the Sabres decide to stop curling into a fetal position on the ice). Watch Live: On TSN2 or RDS for the Canadiens' faithful, hoping to see their team not accidentally score on themselves, or MSG Buffalo for Sabres fans who might be tuning in just to see how many new ways their team can lose. Streaming available on ESPN+, RDS, TSN+ - perfect for fans who enjoy watching their hopes slowly drain away in HD. Where: Bell Centre in Montreal, where the Canadiens host the Sabres in what might be less of a hockey game and more of a comedy of errors. Current Standings: Canadiens 11-16-3, Sabres 11-16-4 – a matchup to see who can make their fans question their life choices faster. The Sabres are on a 10-game losing streak that's so bad, they might need to start issuing refunds for therapy sessions. The Canadiens, not ones to be outdone in mediocrity, are just trying to keep their heads above water in this sea of despair. After a promising start, the Sabres have turned into a team so directionless they might need GPS to find their own net. Meanwhile, the Canadiens are no strangers to struggle, but tonight they're the slightly less lost ship in this stormy sea of hockey ineptitude. Owner Terry Pegula's recent pep talk to his plummeting Sabres was essentially, "Keep doing what you're doing... but better?" Tonight's game promises to be a defensive clinic... if by "clinic" you mean a place where you go to get your hockey heart broken. Both teams are sporting young defenses that might be better suited for a game of pinball with their penchant for giving up chances. And with goaltending that's about as reliable as a chocolate teapot, expect plenty of goals - most of which will probably be scored into their own nets out of sheer confusion. The Sabres' power play is so ineffective, it's likely they'll score more goals by accident than by design. Meanwhile, the Canadiens' penalty kill has been about as successful as trying to stop a tsunami with a sponge. So, grab your popcorn and settle in for what could be a historic night - not for hockey prowess, but for how many new ways a team can lose.

What time is the game?

Lindy has to neutralize 4+ years of bad coaching and teaching while implementing his system. That is no small ask. Kouzens, Power, Quinn, Joki, Muel, Thompson and to some degree JJP all have the same problem: poor puck management, slow or over-thinking in game, inability to cover assignments, prolonged shifts. That's the core of the team and it can't survive as constituted. The level of frustration over the lack of success will always overshadow the small gains they make and it becomes an endless cycle. These players needed competent vets to play along with them, to cover for their slack in the game while they learn. Instead, they were not only thrown together to "figure it out" themselves, the coaching staff trying to help them "figure it out" were unequivocally not qualified to be in that role.

But he has great offensive stats don't you know. He scored last game, even.

Maybe they need to explore CBD.

If only he had any competency as a defender.

And at this point he may need it or he'll have permanent shell-shock.

Of course he is.

Power =

See, tripping is redefined for KeyBank Centre.

Obviously not. If he had forward skillz he wouldn't have hit the post.

It is at KeyBank Center.

Cozens, Power and Dangles are not smart players, and yet Adams has all but staked the future on them.
