The laugh olympics have officially begun 

[7+6=13]

McCabe just fires the puck in any direction for no apparent reason -  a lot.

WHY DO THEY FAN THE PUCK????

IT'S NOT FROZEN ENOUGH AND THEY NEED TO COOL IT DOWN?

[Tondas]

This team is the Wizard of Oz team.  They all need a heart, a brain, and courage,

The last period they played in before the night he got a primary assist on a beautiful stretch pass to Olofsson

Proving my point.? See what happens when he passes?

I actually remember that.

Who is going number one in the draft?    Asking for a friend.

This team hasn't been able to play team defense for the last 8 or 9 years.  Either the players are un-coachable or the coaching has been terrible.

Look at the players rotated in and out in the past 9 years.  There is your problem.

Botterill has to see his standing pat was a mistake.  Blow up the roster.  Bring in guys with heart, grit and the will to play hard.

[7+6=13]

Eichel skates too much upright for my liking.  I'd cut all his sticks down 2 inches without telling him, haha. 

[PromoTheRobot]

Trade Eichel.

Whoever it is, tank for him so that we can pair him up with Curtis Lazar.

Failed clearing attempt up the wall led to that goal 

That happens all the time. There's no excuse for Olafsson there.

The forwards were no where to be found

True. They all sucked there.

Serious question, when they talk all offseason about lowering Risto's usage, are they just lying? They are never going to do it.

I actually agree with this,

You got a defense pairing in behind the Sabres bench.

One SOG in 7.5 minutes ?

It happens a lot more with Risto-McCabe out there, McCabe had another one his next shift

The thing that's going to start coming into focus is how management and ownership view this team. Last year both admitted they thought the 10 game winning streak was a fraud, basically. Did they feel the same way about 8-1-1. I can easily believe they did. I mean, Botterill wants to keep his job. "We're not there yet, Terry."

Last 5 games outscored 18-7  (so far) => 3.6 - 1.4 on average.  Pathetic.
