Lot of unselfish passing Nice.

Kulich Boom.

Lyon

Quinn. Boom. He plays hard against Ottawa.

Doan got game.

Boom. McLeod

Good God. No energy. What happened to these guys.

Now that’s a great period.

Boom. Zucker. Again!!!

Boom. Zucker.

Finally. Playing with energy. Playing with emotion.

Boom. Tuch

Boom! Nice feed.

Sabres get no benefit of the doubt and Refs don’t respect Ruff much anymore. Given reality.

Quite a mask on Benson. Love to see him out there. Kid has heart.

Dinner party. Missed the 1st period. Tune in to see a tie. Ok. Let’s go!

Boom!

Just tuned in. Down 1 but at least we’re shooting.

This has been mostly ignored by the national media. My guess is this will be a national storyline shortly and creep into commentary about any losing franchise in any major sport. Look for an SNL skit at some point. Bring back Martin Short as Ed Grimley, put a pair of skates on him, give him a stick, with instructions from the locker room to beat Pegula like a dusty rug.

Show some pride, for chrissakes.

If you asked them to increase their level of compete during and after the 1st Period, they’ve tuned you out Ruff. You should resign.

Fear

In a word. Well done, Pimlach.

It’s a leadership issue all around. Dahlin is a talented player who leads by example, but this team needs an alpha male with a strong personality as a co-captain. Still confounds me Ruff didn’t replace the Assistant Captains. Not a one of them has the right stuff, imo. Want a jolt? I would strip them all of the A and give an A to Zucker, a guy who isn’t infected by losing and last season’s debacle who has the ice cred to get the attention of the group.

I’m exhausted. Between watching and commenting on the lackluster Sabre effort and the negativity on the board tonight, my own included, I will look forward to another chance at our first win on Monday. Goodnight all.
