Some good comments here. The Devils Core is better than ours. Last year it looked like Detroit's young Core was better than ours, and it looks like the Ottawa young core is at least as good as ours. So even if we improve, our division rival are improving too. There was a time just a few years ago when NJ was behind us. Adams drafting has been ok, but he has shown no ability to bring in the right complementary veteran players to help them grow.

I will be there on Thursday and I will not be booing them when they come out. Rome was not built in two days.

Well the Devils are a far better team and in part because Lindy did a very good job bringing the devils out of the lower echelon and into the playoffs. Last year he had no goaltending and a bunch of injuries. The Sabres players are missing open nets, standing around on the PP, and just not generating anything offensively - It looks clear in the last two days that we do not have the horses in the top 6. If this turns into another down year then they will have to look at the Core and shake it up. Unfortunately, the over his head GM is not the guy to do that.

Adams loves him some Appert.

Special teams are bad and a big part of the imbalance.

Allen seems to have big games against us. Unbelievable. An EN goal is coming.

We need a goal and fast. Someone has to step up.

Tuch engages but no way did Dillion answer for it.

You have been getting into the numbers lately? Pretty soon you will be rolling out fancy stats. We need to know: (1) Expected high danger fanning on the puck, (2) % of breakout passes behind the winger per 60 minutes, and (3) % of goals given up by standing around with stick blade in the air, - fixing stuff like this would improve the team greatly.

Damm ....

I get your point, but you will still be watching them on Dec 3rd. I will be there too.

.500 on Dec 3rd is ok, especially if its a Deluca .500. I just don't see any magic instant turnaround. This is a process, just like the Bills went through under McD. Earn the right to win.

Game 25 is Dec 3rd, at home, versus the Avs.

Sounds like a lot of insider info here from the Brawn Man. Thanks! Anyone involved in NHL hockey would flip out if Adams was replaced by Forton and not Karmanos.

It is going to take some time. If its 20-25 games they still need to stay near .500 while they get it figured out. If not this could snowball. The PP is something that we can complain about. Most of these guys have been together for several years and yet the PP is not even at a "pick up team" level of competency. Change the players and wake them up. Paul Hamilton on WGR Radio is saying that Dahlin is not right and playing hurt. hmmm .

No, not really.

Oh. OK. Carry on with your sarcasm then.

UGH. PK

No. This is the last thing you do. Bad idea. Goalie are strange. Levi might play better than UPL for awhile, and then vice versa. We have UPL on a good contract. KEEP TWO GOALIES. It is ok to have a lot of talent. TWO good goalies is better than one.

You play Levi a bit more and be happy to have two good goalies.

The expectation is to win. As in, win now, win today.

TNT getting the goal!

Yes, JVB was good and had his best seasons while playing as a Sabre.

"Malenstyn gave Mercer a face full of leather" ... not bad Dan.

I knew that Scotty did not like Robert and I hated the trade at first.
