You think the players who he's coached these past 8 weeks will care? They are the main issue, to soft, unwilling to commit, unwilling to do what is necessary to win. That's what I've seen this game, and these past 13 seasons, long before Lindy for that matter. It's not just talent, it's not just coaching, it's believing in themselves, in each other. That starts with leadership, not only in ownership, in management, but on the ice. This team has no rudder. Hasn't for over a decade, even with ROR, Eichel, Reinhardt. What's the solution? When you successfully answer that, you can be Sabres GM.

I agreed with your premise of discontent, I don't agree with your premise they go to the net. A player who stands there or glides in to the area means nothing if you can't maintain puck control on the boards to get it there. Going to the net means DRIVING THE PUCK TO THE NET! We have seen 0 of that this game. That's on the forwards, that's on Lindy's coaching. Try and spin it as you wish, but the drive, the passion, it's not there. The scoreboard tells the tale.

I agree. But let me, and many of us, voice our discontent.

If this game play is an indicator of the season to come, get used to it. As a fan, who pays a lot to go to home games (200 lvl only), who buys merchandise (countless jerseys, shirts, hats, etc, etc) I have paid for the right to be disgruntled over these past 13 seasons. That doesn't mean I don't love my Sabres, always have, always will. What it means is I'm one of those financial parents that will put the oar to the ass cheeks if disobedient "winning" behavior isn't adhered to. It's what's expected.

Did somebody FINALLY go to the net? A defenseman? Joy!

I hope so LG. I count on...nah.....depend on your input on this. So, do we need to tank, or do you think there's redeemable top line pieces here is the question I have for you.

4th jack&coke, I'm almost out of coke, so ya, ***** up it is....

Yes, I concur, it starts at the top. I have to believe it pains Terry to see the past 13 years, but making decisions matters. Stop, just stop. Hire the top guy to lead an NHL franchise, throw the money truck at him. Then put back, mouth shut, ears open, and let it happen.

Ya, great, so ship him to Nashville, I want others to share in our 7 million dollar pain.

It's an....."off draft year", so 1st over all will be a 5'9 1/2" defenseman....

On my 2nd jack & coke, wait up, I'm coming....

Cozens sucks

Thorner, I can take one thing away from this game......."habits". Habits in game flow, player reactiin to game flow, coaching, coaching reactiin to game flow, but most important of all....I can take away the feeling a d I l d o feels for going on 14 seasons in my balloon knot as a fan. Yep, I still feel it.

Yep, and that's one of a dozen or so core habit problems.

Cozens = sucks Thompson, Peterka, Quinn = non-existence Tuch = is he playing? Entire Defense = Here opponent, would you like the puck...

They can be beat. They didn't win the cup last year. It just takes a coach with a game strategy and players willing to commit to said plan to do it. Say, maybe, a coach that knows them.......DOH

Fold? Nah, you don't need to lead that charge, they're doing splendidly on their own.

The Bills make the playoffs, can you blame them?

Ya, I'm seeing it again as well. Slow break out and/or transition game due to lack of effort at puck possession battle in the D zone. I mean honestly, that 2nd goal, 2 D 1 forward in our zone for the dump in, all 3 coasting, no one went to the puck to challenge. Just unacceptable as they all strolled along pointing sticks. Ridiculous. And Samuelsson on that first goal.....yikes.

1000000000000000000% + more correct LG. Looks like much the same as seasons past.

Nope, that was 3 Sabres against 1 devil on puck flip in, all 3 didn't do f all.

There were only 3 on 1 for zone entry......Don't go after the puck!!!!

I don't want another seadon of "play from behind" Sabres. Either s h I t or get off the pot Lindy, this isn't 05 to 07 and you don't have a "run'em" line. Gey these guys heads out of their balloon knots, NOW!!!

I agree, his contribution to the roster can be replaced by more committed player. He has the size, not the marbles.

Devils are just toying with the Sabres at this point. Men to children. Come on Boys!!! Snap out of it.
