Good saves don't make up for bad goals. You need good saves and no bad goals to win consistently. The last bad goal lost a chance to keep a divisional opponent from getting a valuable point.

They look like a team with 7 or 8 new players in the lineup and very little training camp to get ready. They seemed to be skating into each other an awful lot. So out of synch.

Besides turning down Regier's offer to coach the Sabres, didn't he also turn down another NHL head coaching offer? I'm thinking Tampa, but not certain.

And Dominik Hasek

We'll probably score enough, but the team is still pretty weak in our own zone. That will need to improve.

Doesn't seem to have much of a shot either. And very weak defensively. What made him a lock at #1?

Sorry, just reacting to someone calling me clueless and getting on my case for asking him a question. But i guess I should dial it back.

He looks lost out there.

Did I hit a nerve there, thorny? I asked a simple question based on a comment you made and now you're about to cry. or if you blame someone, you could at least point out what they're doing wrong. But that might be a big lift for some of you.

So you don't really have a answer. You just need to blame someone.

He doesn't need to blossom, he needs to be competent. He's the least effective player on the team. He's old enough to be a much better player than he is now.

That's really not an answer to my question. I asked you what Krueger was doing wrong?

How is Krueger part of the problem?

Do we start donating to some charity now? Sorry, too soon?

When should we expect him to live up to the hype of #1 overall 'generational' player? I just see something missing with him. That little extra that makes someone great.

I watch him and think, not that fast, not much of a shot, weak defensively.... ,

Those were trades that helped both teams. It shouldn't be outlawed. This isn't charlie finley trading off his best players for nothing in return.

I would rather have a talented scorer on the wing. Take advantage of Eichel and Hall as linemates. It's possible Okposo can score a bit more because he has offensive skills, but I'm not concerned about having a 'mucker' on the line. Eichel is great at puck possession on his own.

Why put a 4th liner on our top line? Don't get that.

Playing only divisional games will likely keep the standings tight. I could imagine many 2 game splits on most of those back to back games. Hard to think one team will win 7 or 8 against 1 team.

Our goalie.

I already knew to ignore you. LOL

I got 3 notifications that you replied, only seeing one. Did I miss something?

Buffalo fans have such an inferiority complex. Really need to get help. Like George.

They'll say it's a huge acquisition for the Sabres.
