Tondas

Drew Stafford needs to go for both him and us. However, I can't help but like him. He tries and he's never bashed Buffalo or his teammates.

How can we be this bad? Why am I up watching us be this bad?

Heard he got married over the summer. That may explain why he's so pissed off.

I agree. They should make the take down an additional penalty.

Pretty dull now. Looks like the Kings are playing down to our level.

Did Tyler learn nothing from John Scott?

Good shift by Cody.

Agreed.

This is a telling time for GMTM. If he is serious about competing for a playoff spot and not tanking, he has to make a trade. Getting shut out twice in your building necessitates this. He's not going to fire TN. So who he trades will be interesting. He needs to hit the "core" (I know, bad phrase) to show he is serious. Someone like Stafford, Ennis or Myers. Anyone else and it's just a token "shake up" trade and shows he's into the tank.

Is it just me, or does Terry Pegula sound dumber and dumber every time he opens his mouth. I love what's he's done for Buffalo, but he doesn't seem too bright. Certainly, not billionaire bright.

Sure looks that way. Send all the rookies down or back to juniors. I don't want to expose them to this debacle.

Forgot he couldn't step on the Sabres logo.

This has got to make a proud man like TN ready to explode.

A little too late for the Karate Kid defense.

OK, would 1 goal be too much to ask in the third?

I've got to believe that GMTM thought that when he got the job, he knew that the roster was devoid of talent. I think he's coming to the realization that the roster is much worse that he thought. He couldn't believe they'd be worse this year than last. I think he's shocked more than embarrassed.

I have become comfortably numb.

Sadly, this might be as good as we can play. I thought rock bottom was last year.

Played one of their better periods, still down 2-0.

I gave them last year. Bottom out, get the first (2nd) pick. I liked what TM did in the off season. We'll be competitive, hard working, and still be in line for a good choice. Now, I'm concerned that we'll be worse than last year. I'm concerned that we have any NHL players (except Girgs, Ennis, and Myers). Do we have to start all over? Are we more like 5-7 years off?

It could get really ugly tomorrow. Where is the pride?

Getting pucks on net is a mindset. It's not that difficult for professionals.

So far, I like Enroth and Stewart. Did I miss anyone?

That's hard to believe, but we seem to manage that total consistently.

Something is fishy with the whole Zadorov situation. How can he be "too big" for the OHL? I didn't know the OHL had a "you're to big to ride this ride" stipulation. If he's not in shape, send him down to get in shape. TN saying we trying to do the best for Zadorov is disingenuous. Something behind the scenes has to be in play.
