If the only thing Kreuger does is stop them from running around in their own end, turning the puck over as if they meant to right in front of their net and helps them to not be clueless as to opposing players standing wide open near the net with nobody around them, they can win an extra 5 games easily this year.

Fair enough but at the end of the day good coaches get good results and this team is tlented enough to get good results with.

I dont know how good Pittsburgh will be this season but i think this Sabre team has a chance to be a lot better than most people think. They are just all over the place and have had countless breakaways, mini-breakaways, odd man chances and slot chances this game...it could literally be 6-1 right now easily and nobody would think that was against the run of play. If Kreuger is as good as advertised this should almost be expected. Replacing a subpar coach with a very good one SHOULD produce significantly better results just from that alone.

Vesey a reclamation project? He isnt a superstar but we could use his consistent 17 goals a year on this team.

Wow he settled for a lot less than what i thought...but he did struggle at times last year

This is inexcuseable to be tied...they should be up 20

Strange schedule for pre-season where the Sabres play 3 teams twice each....is this the same for all teams?

What is the point of keeping a player up here to play 6 minutes a night? He is NEVER going to develop like that. If he is a top 6 forward then you send him down until you can give him top 6 minutes and he has earned those minutes.

This lineup is holding their oen and at times looks like the better team...cant really complain with how they are playing for the most part...

Its amazing to me that first round picks in hockey csn routinely be third line players and thats considered a good pick if its outside the top 10...baffling.

They are bad because poor people live there who can't afford to keep their homes in good condition and when people don't have much they resort to robbing and stealing or selling and using drugs. The neighborhood ends up declining like a snowball rolling downhill...slow at first then faster and faster as it gains momentum. If they want to fix the neighborhoods they need to fix the income level of the people living there first.

They do realize that people have actually died from being blown off the bridge, right? Do they plan on increasing the height of the barriers to prevent that from happening with it having people actually up there doing stuff instead of just changing tires?

Id rather have one elite one than 3 average ones.

Anyone who says a center group that includes Eichel is one of the worst in the leaugue isnt worth even discussing anything with.

Whats done is done. Nothing we can do about it now and no point worrying about something in the past that prevents you from looking towards the future.

We got a 1st round pick snd a 2nd round pick and a young player they thought could make a big jump in Thompson. Nobody expected STL to win the cup last year, most thought they would be closer to where they wwre at the new year... Hind sight is 20/20. Please don't even pretend you thought OReilly was the missing piece to Saint Louis winning a cup.

Exactly WHO is trading a 2C? He is supposed to trade with Casper?

Maybe because centers don't just grow on trees. This isn't EA Sports...you cant just offer a team 3 garbage players for a 2C and they take it...too many people think EA Sports AI is realistic when in all actuality as someone who designs AI, i can tell you its pathetic.

Just like Chubbs Peterson sang to Happy Gilmore.... https://youtu.be/6oly3TMCdfQ

A future star would have more than 17 goals and 35 points a year. Lets be real.

Can't remember ever seeing a team have 4 goals on 13 shots...who is the goalie coach again?? Dominating but tied at 4...amazing

Its hard to take much out of the preseason since most games are half NHL players and half guys that will not be on the team once the year starts. But we have looked far better than they have.

Anyone else find it strange there is literally no coverage of any stats outside of NHL.com for these games?

What the hell is OSP??

Oh please...are you claiming that you have never done anything that falls into a gray area? Those are the types of people you read about in the paper getting busted for embezzling millions of dollars from a company and nobody can believe it.
