Benson great work on the boards.

Skinner is finding the net.

Not gonna stand

Good Evening Teammates, Punch checking in. Wolfed down dinner for this spastic start time. GO SABRES!!! MUSCLE WEIGHT

I just noticed that two. I read that as he ranks VO ahead of Jost, like he did to start the season. I do not like the 4th line.

This is game 7. We are well past excuses.

Since I still think they are better than their record shows, I have two factors to consider: 1. Other teams are not sitting back against Buffalo, and they are following a blueprint to beat us - play hard, slow them down, keep the score close, and count on us to make the first mistake 2. Preseason was a long tryout that didn't give the core much work together. We are still in the tryout by carrying 3 goalies, plus Benson and Savoie. We were not ready to start fast, so instead we are starting way too slow.

But we are a just one step away.

These words we also said twice for Bill Bellicheck and three times prior for Andy Reid. Sometimes it takes time, sometimes you have a step backwards. McBeane are not deserving of losing their jobs.

please no. If McD gets fired we are likely to drop. If Beane leaves, Terry could very likely turn the Bills into the Sabres, just by being Terry.

If they are on ignore how are you following this?

I have been harping on goaltending for too long to say this Rico. Playing hard should be a given. Goaltending has to be taken care of first. I actually think that UPL will play about as good as Comrie tonight. Sometimes the boys play looser and score more goals with him in the net. Tonight would be a good night for it.

Timing? He had a hit, he took it. That is the game. The teams identity is another issue separate from Dahlin.

Another strange take here on sabrespace. A bad performance by UPL could cause a loss when the rest of the team played hard and deserved a chance to win. Make up your mind. Be a fan or not. Watch them or don’t.

It was a good clean hit. He had several. Are you looking to blame him ? Dahlin was not the problem. He is one of the few with any edge to his game. We need traffic in front of the net and more people moving on the PP. We need dirty goals.

You didn’t watch and you’re blaming Comrie? Why? The Sabres outplayed and outshot the Habs. They dominated for long periods. But they did not finish. Despite all the shots, they had very few high danger scoring chances. They are still playing way to cute. Too many shots were passed up looking for a perfect play. Comrie was not the problem.

Lots of Poles in Buffalo. Very unique to see Polish restaurants and cooking. My wife is half Polish and makes a few of the traditional dishes.

McD will survive but Dorsey won’t. Granato, it depends on how the season goes. There has to be more progress in the W/L column

Not so sure. He may prefer vets but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like young players. Gallant is known as a players coach. His player work hard for him, until they don’t. Either way, it’s way too early to make a coaching change.

Home loss, division loss, a lost to a team that is supposed to be below us. We dominated for much of the game but as EJ said, we have to take the play thats there, we didn’t do that tonight. Too fancy and no follow up after the shot.

Ok, execute the Matt Ellis of game plans.

Well their PP got it done.

Sounds like a fourth line.

Tuch playing hard but nothing is happening for him. Even this penalty is just bad luck.

They are getting great goaltending. True. We had great looks and no shot far too many times I might add.
