So …. No shows = no points?

Is that the benchmark for “no shows”?

They're paid to score, so...yea

[Wyldnwoody44]

They just haven't been able to put 60 minutes together. Still sloppy hockey overall. D is atrocious again.

Greenway is playing with size tonight.  None of our other large forwards are showing any physical tendencies at all.

Greenway has been our best player through two games. Great for him. Doesn’t say much for our “superstars”

[SABRES 0311]

At this point I wouldn’t oppose different combinations of the top six. Two games in and they are irrelevant as is. Don’t touch the bottom six though. 

[TheAud]

Can Dunleavy please stop continually ball washing these guys while the game is live?

Skinner and Thompson have been complete no-shows thus far through two games. 

Yeah, I've barely heard their names.

Add Tuch…

Power's contract is egregious. He still has so much to learn, holy ***** man

He is not on that big contract and we are aware that he is 20 years old.  Don’t say he is slacking off.  He is young and learning fast. . 

[Cascade Youth]

Sabres were the better team tonight despite the outcome.  
 

The guys who got paid need to start playing well.

No. Most team PxP guys do exactly the same thing.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Pure crap. Isles win again on a goal that shouldn't count 

[Nitro60]

This team gets out hustled with the man advantage.  Hold over form the past two seasons

Right now, I would not be against moving Krebs up to the first or second line though.  He at least has a pulse, where many in the top 6 are too sleepy

[Gatorman0519]

Donnie did not have this team ready for the season. We are still a joke. This is not looking even close to being ready for the next step. 

[Wyldnwoody44]

Next game is becoming a MUST WIN,very quickly

😕

Clownato needs to learn how to coach.

[lowsabre]

man this sucks

[GoPuckYourself]

Another season of this? 

[Wyldnwoody44]

You want fans in the arena... This ain't how it's going to happen. These guys don't get any benefit of the doubt at all and they have 11 years of futility to try and make up for. 

[Cheektorado]

Much better game (by some) but like you guys have been saying, the money players need to start earning it.

[SwampD]

Another game this year the Sabres didn’t deserve to win.

 

The only positive is that it looks like we actually have a goalie.

 

[Scottysabres]

Well, they better figure this out pretty quick. They played well enough to win this game, but many players are riding coattails here. Cozens, Skinner, Tage, Tuch, and a couple D men are just not good enough. There's a lot of our cap tied up in a few of those names. If they can't contribute, what are they doing here? Figure it out.
