The Sabre Dance worked well back when they were a good team.

Kesselring is more likely to be.

I won’t be as good without you.

Malenstyn- Selke

Mally - save them for the real games.

Teammates I decided to watch some of this game, streaming on ESPN +. I have complained in the past about the ESPN+ App and poor video and audio quality. I now have 1G fiber and the video quality looks so much better. Go Sabres! Gonna be hard to stick with a preseason game though, the Lions and Ravens are on MNF. That should be a good one.

Pretty sneaky of Ruff playing four on the fourth line

I will always follow the Sabres as I have from day 1, game 1. Unless they leave Buffalo. Then I will leave them, like I did with the NBA Clippers. I will voice my dissatisfaction at poor management and poor play, as is my right to do so. I will applaud excellence too. I consider myself to be a very fair critic. I will not harass die hard Sabres fans, such as the ones who post here, for being surly or negative, especially given the organization’s performance in the past 15 years.

Kesselring says he wants to play meaner. Ok. I accept that. The Sabres are highly scoffable. Good teams would shake off a bad start and pull it together. Goods teams would find a way to stop a a 13 game losing streak from happening. Good teams are not out of the race at Christmas. Good teams don't miss the playoffs for 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 years. Good teams actually improve year over year. Good teams win at home and on the road. Lots to scoff at and the fans "pay the bills". The fans here are some of the best fans the Sabres have. They can scoff with impunity in my opinion.

Vets slowly shake the rust off, rookies and prospects try to show something. Its an opportunity for a few players. Similar to football and baseball.

Fair assessment. We will revisit this in April and see how Power did. I want you to be right and I want to see it this season. Right now he is a big defenseman that does not have a physical game, has offensive skills are offset by his inability, or perhaps unwillingness, to play good defense. This could be the year, or he may not take the step we are looking for until 25, so we get his bottom 6 years. That means others have to be better and play more minutes.

If the rest of the NHL GMs thought this then we could trade Power straight up for Robertson or other players of his ilk. Yet everyone here packages him with first rounders and top prospects. This is the year that Power has to make a significant improvement in his game.

My Yankee fandom goes back to the mid-60's and the end of the Mantle era. I loved the mid 70's teams and the Billy Martin- Reggie Jackson era. I'm stuck with them as a fan but I do agree that this version of the Yankees is not very likable. Baseball in general is no longer a big thing for me.

I just hope he is good enough to play in the NHL because we need exactly what he said. I want players that other teams don't like playing against, and I want Buffalo's arena to be a place that teams do not like visiting.

No Sox. I am a Yankee fan, but they are not kidding anyone, even if they make the playoffs. Would like to see Cleveland surge and make the playoffs. No Sox.

Our #1 goalie.

shocking. Wishing them all the best in the recovery.

Good win. I expected Miami to play a good game and they did. 3-0 and 10 days of rest. Go Bills!!!

What is Matty’s job this year?

Must be some good beer

Go Bills! Miami should be playing hard to turn the season around and save their coach. We shall see. I always expect a tough game but would love to see the Bills thump them. I think they can.

Grown ups like Tuch and Greenway will help this group quite a bit. The 2nd line as shown is a low minutes line, unless Doan becomes his father in one season he is bottom 6.

Danforth will be a role player on the bottom 6/ bottom 3. With injuries to account for he could get 40-50 games and bring some veteran experience. But keep in mind he is 32, 4 NHL seasons, zero playoff games. His playing could keep a kid like Bozak in the minors.
