Doing my best to find the positives in this one. Eberle had a good game. There is that.

I don't know, Toker being serviceable? (Best I can do)

KA may field three straight lotto teams to begin his tenure. Fun times for the fans.

Take it easy, killer. 

 

Have a drink. Or take a walk in the pleasantly cold and damp air. Breathe deep the gathering gloom (for you Moody Blues fans)

I do love the Moody Blues…..

Much worse.  The Kraken took one Sabre in the draft, and he can’t see the ice. 

And if the Sabres got their hands back on him, he'd be on the top pairing with Dahlin.

He’s certainly trending away from being the elite generational defenseman we were promised.

At least Eichel knew how to properly break a stick after an empty netter.

That's the Sabres in a nutshell for the past decade.

Fitting end...after the empty net goal, Dahlin attempts to smash the puck with his stick, fans on it and trips himself...

He’s going to be the next wanting out if this keeps continuing.

Eichel is probably laughing himself to sleep about right now.

He’s got garbage to work with. Most of the current Sabres should be in the AHL. How many outnumbered attacks did they give up in Tonight’s game? Pathetic. They are coming back down to earth now. Like others have said it might be time to send Cozens down because playing with Skinner is just poison. That’s got to be the worst contract in the nhl right now. 

[Zamboni]

“We were promised”

 

That’s F’in rich 😂

He'll be fired by then.  Terry will turn on him, like he did the others.

[DarthEbriate]

Uffda. That was as bad in person as it was with Sabres coverage. Tokarski actually gave the team a chance to make something of it. And they folded instead. The passing and the pass receiving was garbage. And there was no battle won all game. Yeesh. 
But the local fans were super polite and indifferent to me. I didn’t get heckled once. It felt weird.

Told ya, those Kraken are a tenacious team. They're like pit bulls just coming at ya and coming at ya. Normally don't score a lot but never rest and never quit. 

imo they have building a team right. Start with a really good goalie, build out from there and build a team that competes and works hard every night, if not every shift. 

Hopefully now that we've turned the Eichel page we can try to build something in the same way. Start with a goalie once this tank is over.

When I watch Dahlin, I think of the old hockey adage, "Bend your knees until you think you can't go any lower,… you're halfway there."

Make no mistake. The Kraken, like Vegas, assembled teams of high-effort 2nd-3rd  line guys. And got goalies, too. They should make the playoffs in their division. 
The Sabres got their high-effort guys but they were waivers and throwaway guys. 
Butcher has looked OK at times this year, a pleasant surprise if you will. Tonight, he looked like the guy NJ gave us a 5th to take off their cap.

The Kraken are not that good.

What would we be losing though?

Good grief 

[Cal Naughton Jr]

One of the most frustrating things about the last decade is seeing expansion teams come into the league and being leaps and bounds better than us immediately

We’d be losing a lot of grief watching him try to play defense.

Not saying they are "that good" just that they have the foundation for a strong build. They have to add the talent bit by bit to the existing structure and concept and they will be good. 

I'm hoping we can do something similar now that we have no more "stars".
