I just don't see it that way.  I like RK but this team needs more than teaching.  They need their a$$ chewed out and a swift kick.

Fundamentally, the Sabres are a horror show.  They had better zone coverage under Nolan, and that's not saying much.

Being gritty and constantly out of position doesn't fix their problems, albeit the games would be more entertaining (like under Nolan).

[Nitro60]

Better score.

[Pimlach]

Oh no, 5 on 3.  

[7+6=13]

On nights like this I miss Kaleta.

[Nitro60]

Geez lets get urgent out there.  You have a two man advantage and allow them to clear.  NO EFFORT

[Gatorman0519]

What kind of strategy is this????

[Crusader1969]

Embarrassing

EPL strategy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - SABRES, what a ***** joke

[Thorner]

Brutal pass by Johansson on the PP there. Brutal PP in general.

Huh? I didn’t hear you? Lol

[Randall Flagg]

They truly believe they aren't going to score on their PPs

[John Tucker]

They spend half the power play trying to get the right handed shots on the left and left handed shots on the right.  From there if a one-timer from the face off circle isn't available, just keep passing until it is!!  Put some bodies in front of the net and shoot the friggen puck

[Gatorman0519]

I’m not mad we lost.  It’s simply disheartening how inept we looked doing it.  I honestly have to wonder if RK knows what he is doing.  Great motivator but the tactics are astoundingly ineffective.

Nolan’s best forwards in 2014-15 were Ennis and Girgensons.  Just a terrible team. 

[Randall Flagg]

With league average PP and PK this team never gets to the psychological point that lost them this game. That's not a guarantee they win it, but they were up 1-0 with a 5 on 3. 

[7+6=13]

One excellent player, 2 good ones and one that's going to be good.  The rest of the roster is replaceable below average or trash.

[jad1]

So Vesey steals the puck at the point, can't beat the turned-around defenseman down the ice, and ends up holding the guy for a penalty.

50 years of Sabres hockey and this is what we've ended up with.

This is not true, they were routinely outshot 40+ to <20, which was because they were hopeless and listless in both zones

tthis team is soooooo ***** bad - this game looks exactly like the games in stockholm and this moron behind the bench takes time out and says:

OK GUYS, IM LOST. GOOD LUCK

[CallawaySabres]

I can honestly say that there are only probably four to five teams that will finish below the Sabres in the standings in the whole NHL.

Hopefully tage and cozens can be ready next year and we get lucky in the lottery.

That won't be enough!
