Dryballs

I appreciate Tuch defending Peterka BUT can't help but wish somebody would teach him how to fight. .. Love the guy but you can do better Alex. Ok.. yeah.. the league has changed. Pretty obvious but it's also obvious that it's still a game where intimidation still happens. So, it will always be necessary to be able to defend teammates. ... Thanks Alex but get a heavy bag and a trainer. .... All that said..... it's game two so gotta not over react.

Good point and I'm glad he flourished last year. He's on "easy street" now so he should be comfortable .... I can't help but think he needs Levi up and challenging him. This could be the best of both worlds. ...... We are so fuking due! .... Sorry but I'm not getting younger and that's that.

We all thought our Sabres were gunna make the jump last year. .. Maybe they would have, had they added some of the type players that they added today. But it took Ruff pointing out the obvious for them to get some NHL players with guts/passion/balls. .. Adams biggest mistake was not doing it last year. ... Terry Pegula hires and pays a lot for people to run his teams. This is KA's last shot but I support his work for the most part.

Before we can truly judge GM KA, we need to see if any of our high level prospects can play complement to our (very good/damn good) rostered forwards. The Sabres have some undeniable upper-level talent.

Coz trying to do too much...... fukin go sabes!!!

I'm sure ya can't play balls to the wall for 82 games but..... at least there should be a player or two playing hard. Hard to watch!!!

Most boring sissy hockey ever

The fact that this young man is willing to embrace this decision says a lot about his approach to his profession. His intelligence and dedication will play out very well because it doesn't appear to be a blow to his ego. ..... Levi is gunna be fine.

I've watched the Sabres since their inception. Especially when I was younger. I recall other teams often winning with some guy ya never heard of playing a big role. I'm guessing some Flyer's fans are wondering "who the hell is Biro" much like I've felt many times over the years. ..... We'll take it Gyro.

Dahlin had to adjust to a new culture and language. .... Hell, I love em both and can't be happier that they're Sabres.

A big difference ..... Thais year Raz started pushing back/refusing to be denied! ... I think that's huge. .. Also.. Power is starting to show and it/maturation should come more quickly to Power as he doesn't need to learn a new culture....... Oh man ..... the future's so bright, gotta wear shades

Love my Sabres but Hawks may be even more soft/softer....... Sabes still need a player or two who just can't help themselves but play balls to the wall regularly .... Ya just gotta have more consistent intensity!!!

Mittelstadt has been my least favorite for at the last couple years. He seems to be playing a little better recently but I'd package him with VO and whoever else for a solid R hand defenseman who can do a chin up. I think it was Casey who couldn't do one at his combine. (that's terribly lame) ... Move him (if there's any value) and also I think ya gotta keep UPL up this year. These young guys need to keep the group energy/mentality they have aquired and UPL is a big part of it in my opinion. ... I think you can break this playoff draught without mortgaging the future.

I'm no expert but our Sabres simply didn't allow the Bruins to intimidate/make them look like sissies the way they have in the recent past. These kids are learning and growing. Awesome to see !! ..... Also Razors quote (along the same line) .. gotta paraphrase here.... "ya push back and ya hit em back and that stuff goes away" ...

No .... I don't think anybody implied that. .... Just that he's a young player coming into his own and looking pretty good. ... Why is this so difficult to appreciate... (rhetorical)

Bottom line is .. Adam's approach seems to be working and it's pretty cool to see. .... Sorry if I offended anybody ......

perhaps .... but it seems you need to get some leg hon

Did your mom have any boys .... get a grip hon

About damn time somebody appreciated this.... Stay thirsty my friend.

Strong on his skates.... Has learned how to use his reach advantage. .. Doesn't back down from the physical game..... I'm damn glad he's on our side!

I also am really glad to see Dahlin playing a much more hardnosed game.... He's coming into his own big time.

If ya want your toughest players out there, they are Lyubushkin, Samuelsson, Okposo and Jost. .... Better not hope for a brawl

I think this looked like the kind of game that a young team grows from .... They didn't back down and they didn't give up.

Physical play usually indicates intensity. I always felt as though guys like Housley, Turgeon, Vanek and others could be intimidated off their games. Was really frustrating to see. I'm not saying you need to fight but I think in tight on the wall, ya gotta let the other guy know that you're gunna be balls to the wall so "buckle up"...... Play hungry!

I'm no expert but I know physical intensity in effort. I thought the game could've gone either way. .... This team is improving one hell of a lot. .... No reason to be pessimistic or negative. But keep it realistic. ..... The future's bright
