  1. Either Donny and coaching staff aren't teaching fundamentals or the team isn't listening....or both.
  2. Toronto opportunity started with yet another piss poor PP by Buffalo. Absolutely no effort to put a man in front of the Toronto netminder. If there's another PP opportunity, just decline it!
  3. Our D-men yet again fail to neutralize the man directly in front of the goal.....frustrating!
  4. They need to draft players who play with an edge vs. being timid on the ice. It gets frustrating how many times they get rid of the puck and turn away to avoid getting hit. They don't go to the hard areas of the zone. They need to draft young players who WANT to play a physical game.
  5. I don't think it's asking too much for a team that will finish checks, hit opposing D-men in the offensive zone (ex. causing them to look over their shoulder before going to the boards to retrieve a puck) and moving an opposing forward out of the way of your goalie to avoid a screen. The Sabres do none of this, which is part of the reason why other teams do not fear playing them. I don't need fighting, just a team that makes other teams respect their physical play (which is largely non-existent).
  6. IMHO - they keep drafting the same kind of players....based on pure talent, not necessarily heart or tenacity...or being "rugged" players who help bring some grit and snarl on the ice. We draft or trade for too many prima dona's and not enough who play with an edge. Our coaching history can't turn passive players into aggressive one, so they fail too.
  7. With every loss, GMKA has less leverage to do anything to improve the team. So I guess we're stuck with this a while (again).
  8. Zamboni drivers must look forward to Sabres games. They never have to bother resurfacing the ice between the face-off dots because Sabres players never go there on offense. Just a couple laps around the boards should do it and they're good to play another period.
  9. What the hell is Joki doing out there? No awareness of the Ottawa player behind him with a point blank opportunity.
  10. Imagine what Mike Robataille might be saying if he was doing hockey hotline.
  11. I love Cozen's heart, but IMHO he needs to be developed as a power forward vs. a center.
  12. Pretty easy to do when you have nothing but a perimeter game.
  13. Will any Sabre lay claim to the slot or crease? They act like they're playing basketball not wanting to commit a 3 second violation.
  14. GMKA needs to admit he only has one line generating offense and maybe one D pairing that can actually defend. He needs to do his job and not assume the fans will tolerate another season ending collapse before the holidays.
  15. No "KRUEGER" nightmare on Elm Street this Halloween....This team has come so far from the nightmare of Ralph's horrific coaching! Donnie is the anti-Krueger!
  16. The only thing that could have made this game better is if it was the Leafs instead of the Wings.
  17. Any stats folks out there who know when a Sabre last scored 6 points in a game?
  18. Nice to see multiple lines looking dangerous tonight!
  19. 5 pts for TT tonight....Halloween is his favorite holiday.
