Goaltending and D was not the problem vs the Penguins last night. Minus some sloppy puck handling at times the Sabres showed improvements against one of the best teams in the league. It begs to ask the question are the Buffalo Sabres on the right path to becoming a better hockey team. With many new faces needing to gel and when you factor in time off from Covid 19 the team has not had the best of circumstances to come together IMO. I'm not trying to make excuses...

Well goaltending wasn't the problem tonight

Myself personally, I think Ullmark might even be a little above average IMO. To say goaltending is not the problem with Linus Ullmark out for an extended period of time tells me everything I need to know about Adams. Hutton and J J don't even belong in the NHL in my humble opinion. Without confidence in your goaltending how in the world could you have any confidence as a team. Truth is, you can't...

I think the team needs to get physical with Ralph

Sabres are playing better hockey minus goaltending IMO

OMG, Sabre goaltending will be the death of me

Speaking of stick How hard is it to get your stick down on the ice so you have half a chance.

Come on goaltender, good grief

No

What goaltending?

Sigh

Oh hell, we got a hockey game!

Skinner! Its about time!

You continue to blame Jack for the C on his back and the amount of money he makes. You missed my point completely...

Lets just give Hutton a free pass on everything...

Run to the store at the end of the 1st, get back and its 4 - 1 Islanders Hutton strikes again...

Well that was more like it...

I keep thinking where is a guy like Michael Peca when you need him...

As owner of a construction company its doubtful the worker you describe would be made a foreman or given any other position of authority or higher profile designation. ( unless he's married to your daughter) Its also doubtful he would even have a job for very long. So who's fault is it? My answer is whomever is coaching and above them managing the company/organization. It starts at the top...

I agree with the giving 110 % as captain and I understand your frustrations. Although I think its easier said then done when the organization you play for sucks and has for years now. Its hard to watch and I imagine its even harder to take part in. Well how about shouldering all the blame for managements failures. Jack came into the league with a bright future ahead of him. Not on this team...

Somewhere down the line having fun playing the game of hockey got lost in the shuffle. So as captain do you laugh or cry when your starting goalie is so pathetic the opposition smiles with glee at just the thought of facing him. As captain do you scream profanities at fellow teammates because someone did a bad job getting the proper player personnel into the building before the season started. As captain how do you help a team gain confidence when you have none. Buffalo Sabre's are a different hockey team with Ullmark in net. There is no substitute for good goaltending in my humble opinion.

Hall pretty much says it all with "no confidence."

These guys do know how to play hockey bad. Good point PTR

If you still have controlling interest and can lure someone in who has the capability of running a succesful hockey franchise. Its a win, win, win for all concerned. (Tim Graham is a clever guy...) Nothing from nothing leaves nothing You gotta have something If you want to be with me

A good business man knows when he's gotten in over his head and looks for solutions. When he can't find them there is only one option remaining IMO. I'm not a fan of losing the Pegula's as owners of the Buffalo Sabres. On the other hand the way things are going its become very hard to be a fan at all. I won't call myself a die hard hockey/ Sabre fan and can only imagine how hard its been for many of you. Buffalo used to be considered a hockey town. My how times have changed ...
