Some Thought and observations from last night: - This team and the slow starts are destroying any playoff chance. How many goals against us happen in the first couple of minutes?? That is all on the COACHES! - Bensen, Krebs, JJ, and Cozens came to play!!! The rest of the team not so much. - Lack of backchecking and physicality! I want to see our forwards sweating to play defense!! They are definitely not doing that. Our players need to play more physical and stop with the stick check. TAKE THE MAN!!!! - We are seeing some players step up, but way too many do not. It is definitely not a team effort. - You figure after watching players score in front of the net, more would go there and try it. Uhhhh nope. Tired of the outside crap. GO TO THE FRONT OF THE DAMN NET!!!! Weird game as i would say Buffalo dominated 65% of that game. Blues buried everything, while Buffalo, who should have scored 8, buried only some. I will always watch as i love hockey, but i am quickly losing faith in the coaching and management if they think this team is going to win consistent as is.

I can go with that. This team feels like groundhog day at times. They play so incredible but the next game is a total stinker

I know right!! I would have never guessed JJ with that Auto Definitely him though...

This was a total team meltdown defensively. Our defense can never seem to take the man in front of the net. Also on the faceoffs, it seems to take forever for our players to get in the proper position. Our backchecking was non existent last night. The sad thing is that our offense was clicking but everything else was crap! I know we are missing a few players, but at times we look worse then a AHL team. On the good news, the Bensen, JJ, and Cozens line looked good. I honestly think it was just one of those bad luck/Juju nights for the sabres. The perfect shots on the first 2 and lack of defense the rest of the game. LOL

Got mine yesterday! I got me a JJ!!!!

Thats was not a UPL problem last night. That was a serious lack of backchecking and where is my guy problem. The Sabres had a serious lack of defense problem last night. That was horrible in a game that was theirs for the taking.

Well........ There is that

I get mine tomorrow. Last year was Asplund and the year before was Tage. So i am 50% with good ones!! LOL Also did not notice the number on the bottom til you showed yours and i will be damned the number is on all of them!! LOL

I was hoping for Greenway for tomorrow, but i guess not. If we are going to have the kids up then they need to be put on a line together so they have an actual shot of scoring. Burying them with crappy players is not helpful to their development and helping them score.

We do have some good depth. I think our Defense top 7 with little J looks very good. We have a lot of scoring talent but we seriously need to start acquiring and or drafting some power forwards that make a living in front of the net. even the prospects seem to want to play on the outside. This team will be deadly when we get that

If 6K gets himself back to his former self before the surgeries, then he can be a stud. He has it in him. He has shown he can be a #1. I think he just needs to start.

Good!!! Not what this team needs

I hate to say i am already becoming numb to Buffalo sports. What started as a promising year has been stupidly dismal and gets worse every time a Buffalo sports team plays. This is going to be a Rangers asskicking. Rangers 6 Buffalo jokes 1 (That bounces off of 3 rangers and goes in the net). Very glad my phone broke and i cannot watch this game.

Can i please have yours then?? OMG i loved that!!! LOL

LOL I did see the story you are talking about. I thought there were just different words to Ohhhhh Canada that i did not know...LOL

I do not think Goaltending is this teams biggest problem. what i see: Levi - has been left out to dry on most of his goals. Absolutely stole the Min game. 6K - has been playing more good then bad. Comrie - was playing well before he got hurt. - Team looks slow and very slow to make decisions. By the time they actually make them, the hole and or opportunity is and has already closed. (Also effects the PP!!!) - Players are 100% are not paying attention to what is happening around them. Allowing 3-1 breaks means they are thinking one dimensional. - Chasing the puck instead of just playing defense. Just play your damn defensive game and stop chasing player around the parameter!! They are not going to score from there! - we may have bigger players but they do not play big. We need a TRUE power forward that goes straight the the front of the net. If this is a coaching problem, then the coach needs to change. - Go to the damn front of the net!!! Both the O and D are horrible at it. O is scared the the D when they do are not physical, just stick check!! WTF we have a majority of pusses!!! Grow a pair and play fundamental hockey!! - Management is more reactive than proactive. All teams make bad choices, ,but we seem to make them more and hold onto garbage players. Cut losses and move on! This team is not far off. I honestly do not think we need more vets either. Playing kids with starters that are worthless to begin with is setting them up to fail. (not meaning to be so harsh). I forgot to add shoot the damn puck!!! So tired of the extra useless pass that's done way too way too late and wastes a scoring chance. Ok, done ranting!! Made it through the Bruins game relatively quiet and did not break a thing!!! Cannot wait for Friday!! Go Sabres!!!

This team is going to need a serious injection of some scoring. Biron had a great idea about calling the Rochester scoring line up as a whole and let them play together as they already have some chemistry. Waiting until tomorrow is freaking stupid. This team needs to start being proactive instead of reactive. It is sounding like Tuch is not close and neither is Bensen. We cannot keep the status quo or we are going to dig a deep hole.

We need another goal scorer but Kane is not the answer. This team blew it during the offseason by keeping Olofsson and picking someone else up. Now we won't get a bag of pucks for Oloffson. Now, we are going to play meaningful .500 hockey because our core cannot stay healthy and our bottom 6 are generally worthless.

This team is and has been a seriously bad joke since day 1. Last night was just another cherry on the cake for embarrassment. The good that will come out of it is that this team will not get all these national night games next year!!! Watch our game and be tortured at 1 PM and be over the disgusting play by 7 PM. This team needs to lose out and get a good meaningful pick in next years draft. If Dorsey and McStupid are here next year i won't waste a second of my life watching. GO SABRES!!!

We are going to get throttled. Unless we get some help, this team is going to struggle. We need our walking (Or not) wounded back in the worst way.

Skinner-Thompson-Tuch Greenway-Mittelstadt-Peterka Quinn-Cozens-Benson Girgensons-Jost-Krebs

I guess you do not watch much hockey....LOL I think our bottom 6 has a collective 5 goals...... Pretty sad

We are going to get our ***** kicked tomorrow with those lines and the way some our top 6 are playing. This team just is not getting any luck at all.

No trade for McJesus is going to be worth what you would give up. Lets say he is 120 points average, giving up 3 players that produce 40 points average is equivalent in production. (Yes i know it is 3 people) Now for some of these trade ideas you are giving up Power, Dahlin, Tuch, Cozens etc, not to mention the picks that would go with it...... 100000000% not worth it. Now, on the other hand, we have some serious prospect leverage that can be used.

Definitely agree!! He needs a serious weightlifting regimen to bulk and strengthen up. Otherwise i see a lot of IR time in his future
