That was a good game. I needed that.

UPL’s glove provides the coup de grace I’m entertained!

JJP wanted that hatty

way to answer. No passive Alamo please.

Terrible powerplay zone entry and we take a penalty. SMH

He is not the problem. Thompson will score a ton of goals in the correct situation.

Nice hatty for Tage.

Benson will be a middle 6 winger in time. Still a puppy growing and learning.

You get to live in a cool town.

That was a fortunate period. We won it 2-0 but UPL was called on too bail them a lot. They better play an aggressive 3rd period and go get the next goal. Stop the Alamo style of play. That means you Lindy.

Wake up Sabres. End the period with a PPG.

That was pretty bad play after the PK. Good to get the whistle UPL.

Ray endorsing wasting power play time

Ok. Dan Dunleavy made a decent call on the Peterka goal. Thumbs up 👍

That was a nice goal. Tage is a finisher. Get Tage a 1C playmaker. That will be a impactful start to improving the team.

Cozens overpass leads to 3 on 1 against us. Nice looking taco. Or is it a “street” taco?

Yes. And we drafted a bunch of centers too. Even more bizzare is that Kulich played wing in the AHL.

Good evening Teammates. This is a winnable game. We should beat this Bruins team in our rink. Of course, not sure we will, but this is not a good Bruins team.

As bad as Adams off season judgement was on his player and coaching moves (see bold), he was even more wrong on the majority of players that he knows and keeps in prominent roles on this team. Below was the opening day forward line up. This team does not stink because of the 4th line. The 4th line was never the reason they were losing last season, and it is not the reason they are losing now. The problem is that the first line and the second line are overmatched almost every night. Peterka - Thompson - Tuch Benson - Cozens - Quinn Greenway - McLoed - Zucker Malenstyn - Lafferty/Krebs - NAK Tage is the only true first line forward on the team, and he is not a very good center (for those who think he is a center) but he is 40 goal sniper that might greatly benefit from a playmaking center. No one else on this team can play on contending playoff teams first line. Tuch is a 2nd line player and is probably a 3rd line player on top tier teams like Vegas, Colorado and Florida. All the rest of the Sabres top 9 are 3rd liners. A few of the young guys still have second line ceilings (Peterka, Quinn, Benson) but do not consistently match up well when real bullets are flying, especially when they play together or with Cozens (a third liner too). Adams was wrong.

No. Do not count on it. He doesn't learn and he has little say in how much he can spend. Look at his past veteran acquisitions, Zucker is an outlier.

He doesn't have to say a word. He just tells his agent he is going the UFA route and wait for offers.

I will be watching the Sabres but I just don't care about this team right now. I will be still thinking about why the Bills couldn't muster up their "A" game last Sunday.

This. I hope there is no trade. Fire Adams in April and bring in an outsider with real NHL Exec and GM experience. Let that person run things.

Elam, Kincaid, Coleman (trade down to second) are his top picks the past three years. I still think Kincaid will be a good player. Coleman possibly, if he figures out how to consistently get open then yes. Elam has had 3 years and there is no sign of him coming around.

Only counting my Buffalo professional teams you have to go back to my childhood days - The AFL Buffalo Bills (64, 65) and the AHL Buffalo Hockey Bisons (69-70) won league championships.
