This is response to my post? Or just a chance rant? One, I haven't forgot what a winning franchise !looks like. Actually some look different than others but let's not go deep into that. Second, I myself would have preferred more experience with both coaches and GM but that again was not the subject of my post. Many if not most posters on here have talked about the two areas I mentioned. Two games into the season we are two losses to a very good team. Our power play was terrible and that cost us not getting a split. I share much of your frustration but getting back to my post. Carry on. Yes. And it's still true.

We really had two major needs. Build a second line. Improve goalkeeper. They accomplished the second line hopefully. We do need to see how some of our younger players develop. Not getting what's wrong with the power play. Cost us the game last night.

Probably but there are WAY better.

We make backups look great.

Power play cost us this game. We were terrible with man advantage. We played a good game except there.

Hope we don't regret lost PP opportunities.

I'm depressed already and it's nothing to do with the team as we've played only 60 minutes thus far.

So get Entercom challenged by another outfit. WGR is a joke of a sports station.

Who else but WGR would go with an outfit by which you can't coherently listen to their programming? We so desperately need a legitimate sports station here

Get used to it. This is a money machine as are most sports. My brother actually no longer watches football because of all the ads. He just got fed up with them. Hockey if it goes the way of the NFL I just may stop watching altogether. I only watch the Sabres as is.

Like these lines.

Agree wth much of this but I'm not happy to bury one of my better goal scorers and 9/M a year contract on a third or fourth line on this team. I don't like it and hate that contract but it is what it is.

One game after no preseason games and only scrimmages. I'm not making big deal of last night. Hopefully you hold your own for first couple weeks because it will be that long before teams are in game shape. Skinner should be moved up. Hate that contract but he is a scorer and needs to be on our second line if not with Jack and Hall. Hall-Eichel-VO Skinner-Stall-Rinehart Those players should be top six VO or Rinehart could be switched. I would have a third line of Cousins with TT and ?. At least for now. Having said that players get shifted around during a game so set lines aren't really all that set to begin with.

We're Buffalo. Whining is our trademark.

Some of you guys? Two pp goals we're great then we stink. Take a breath.

Bottom line? Skinner contract a disaster. Could Hall extension possibility be effected by our experience of the KO and Skinner contracts? I would think so.

Rivet was a very good hockey player but frankly I don't like him on the Instigators. He makes the most simple statement sound so profound and is a total homer in most cases. I like Marty,Rob and Peters much better than Rivet. JMO.

I do like Krueger. If there's a problem with Skinner, and I hope there's not, it's the player not the coach in my opinion.

With the condensed schedule Mitts and co. will get playing time I think. Although I have doubts about Mitt's mentality to make it in this league. He's still very young so there's hope.

You shouldn't necessarily. I'm not sure if I do but for gosh sakes I'm going to at least let the season begin before white flag day.

I may agree with you down the road but I think you've made this judgement pretty early in their tenure. I see nothing yet to draw the conclusions you have come to I think prematurely. We'll see and I also hope your wrong.

So articulate.

We're off to a great start on here. We're talking like they've lost ten straight already. They will have it tough in our division for sure but I think the moves they've made have improved the team. I worry still about our goal tending but other than that I like the moves they made.

Who else does. I agree to a great extent with what you say but we're talking about WGR right?

Hope you're right on Skinner. With that albatross of a contract we're stuck. Hopefully him and RK are not at odds and Skinner is motivated. Guaranteed contracts you better be right because they become an anchor if not.
