Claude Balls Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 I think maybe we're not giving the Islanders enough credit. They were a cusp team last year. If they're a playoff team this year then this game makes sense. Which means the Sabres really suck? Islanders on paper aren't very impressive.

Scottysabres Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) When is Eichel going to show up? The absence of goal scoring from ROR and Jack is more than concerning. 17.5 mil as between these 2 come next season.....Its an omen.

Ogre Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Finally found my way back to my laptop. The Sabs looked like they were skating in mud through two periods. I'm listening and not watching now, but I was not at all happy with what I saw. And I know that many of the goals weren't Lehner's fault, but if Housley's system is going to work, they need more of Ryan Miller and less of Darren Puppa back there. He will have to make some "miracle" saves for this to be successful. I'm not sure he's the guy for this system or vice-versa. Lehner will not be a starting GT for very many years in this league.

darksabre Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Which means the Sabres really suck? Islanders on paper aren't very impressive. I disagree with that. The Islanders have a number of nice players. We're just trained to assume they suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Happy to see Eichel to get on the board with a greasy effort in the slot. Crosby scores plenty like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Trailing 2 going into the third period, we take 12+ minutes to register a shot on goal? But a good deflection goal there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing, but on paper these lineups side by side, other than Tavares, the Sabres look much more talented. Lets go Bills!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Lehner made some good saves in the first, but anyone expecting him to make any of those 3 saves on our PP and right after is crazy. I mean beaulieu made a bad move on the 2nd , the 3rd yeah maybe he could have gotten that one but that was a great shot and even Ladd with soom room can do that. The 3rd he has only Antipin and 4 Islanders moving on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
