GDT: Bruins at Sabres. Oct 4 7PM

[Billznut]

I guess the fans shouldn’t have booed the Sabres off the ice again?  Give me a break. It’s WELL deserved.

Sleepwalking.

This is Eichels first game as captain and he has been the most invisible player on the ice

Maybe he's a part of the problem...

If this team has a bad October, fire Housley. This game has been completely unacceptable. This team looks like trash and it's ridiculous. 

The thing is... we’re set up for a bad October with the long west coast trip to kick off the campaign. 

[Randall Flagg]

Jesus that crowd is booing loud. 

[Weave]

LOL Razor.  They're only down 3.

[Iron Crotch]

I miss Ryan O'Reilly. ...I do.

His team is playing in line with its talent level. I'd be interested to hear specific parts of his "system" that are failing the players. 

They're ready to play. They aren't very good yet and have a lot of glaring roster weaknesses. 

What's really happening is that all the players that aren't actually very good but feel like they're good in the offseason are still showing they're the same players. 

Not buying it. Lack of talent is not an excuse. Boos after 2. Deserved.

[Thorner]

Ryan O'Reilly is already waiting on hold for the post-game interview. 

[LGR4GM]

Good. This team's effort and execution aren't acceptable and if the captain and coach won't hold them responsible then the fans should.

Well we gotta stay a little lighthearted. No excuse for their play but at least it’s hockey season.

[MODO Hockey]

Not going to watch the third, 

I was so hyped for this game, i was expecting sooo much more than this trash, how can they not prepared more than this, home opener and the team show the fans this pure trash gameplay
Hurts to say but gonna try get some more sleep becuase we will not even score a goal in this game as it seams.

Good night ya'll

[Hoss]

This is going to take some real leadership from Jack and co. This has been so bland and disappointing that I could easily see the booing putting them all right into “here we go, we all suck again” mode. They can’t think like that.

Don’t want to overreact but this is real bad. Need them to bounce back as soon as possible, preferably the third.

While you are sleeping you are more awake than this team

On the bright side, maybe we can have another poll to see who scores the Sabres first goal?

[Tondas]

Where's the entertainment?  Where's the enthusiasm?  I didn't expect a Stanley Cup but I did expect more than this.

[hockeyhound]

Booed again, will they try for three straight periods of spineless hockey.

Hockey is a contest of wills and Boston is not going to just roll over and surrender their lead.

 

[RonHextallsShoulderPads]

Dahlin has 15 mins of ice time. Where is the impact?

Same, got an appointment in 8 hrs at 11.00 am, was only planning on watching the first two anyways.

Sad to miss the 4 goals we'll score in the third ?

The problem is he isn’t a “generational” talent as he was touted years ago. Unfortunately Sabres fans expect McDavid or Matthews type performances out of him. He’s NOT in their universe. He will need much more talent around him for this team to do anything.

If you paid me Eichel’s check booing would not affect me.

[Stoner]

Phil set the stage on 'GR before the game when asked about expectations: "We're young. We have to better in December than we were in October and better in February than we were in December."

Yay.

Night MODO, not gonna lie, I expected more swedes In the line up, it would have helped.

[Hoss]

The two biggest issues I’ve seen offensively is the absolute refusal to shoot the puck when there are open shots and passing to literally nobody. You don’t need to have a wide open net or a pile of bodies in front blocking the goalie’s view to shoot. Make a play and beat the goalie when you’ve got him one-on-one.

I’m still hopeful the passing is purely a chemistry thing.
