Cant get past the neutral zone… when we do our passing is off… and we don’t shoot…

Kyle is fried 

I wonder if he realizes it and asks for load management (scratches).

That 2nd period was embarrassing.🤮

Not remotely close to the realm of acceptability. Donny needs to roast them. Can’t throw games away like this early in the season because of a lack of effort. Especially teams you are better then. 

[HumanSlinky39]

Pathetic period. 

This team is allergic to positive momentum this year. Follow up the Avs game with this bowl of butt soup.

[Pimlach]

We have so many talented passers and shooters and yet no power play.

I miss Clifton

Speaking of which, Bobby Knight passed away today.

Donny and roast them are not going to happen. He is a touchy feely coach.  If anything they are probably doing some trust falls

From the replay it looks as if Okposo catches himself mostly and not much actual weight lands on Hart’s leg

He did catch himself to a degree, but the leg still twisted when Okposo was on top of it.

So was our offensive output a fluke last year? Good grief. 

Our offense this year has been so spotty and often poor. Bad skating. Average puck skills. Skinner we know. Solid sniper. And Peterka seems to have life here and there. But the rest are sloppy offensively. 
 

Power play is inept! 

It has been for a long time.....not just this young season.  I really have no faith our coaching staff has any idea how to coach an effective PP.  Did I see Okie and Biro on the ice for part of the last PP?  Why?!?!

Several observed Philly wants it more… Have stymied us after the first 10 minutes of the first period… Philly is playing fast and strong… We are not playing at all…

Granato must be furious with our effort.

[French Collection]

OK, regroup here and play the third like you want it!

The Sabres are the faster team but can’t use their speed when hemmed in their zone.

Is that similar to Gazpacho served cold or just a hot steaming bowl?

They’re awful at entering the zone. Have been for a couple years.

98.6 degrees.

[Sidc3000]

It’s funny how many people say the Sabres need more sandpaper. How the hell doesn’t Adam’s see it

That basically sums up the 2nd period

[zow2]

Once again, we talked about this after New Jersey, it will be tied in the third period.  They so often give up the next goal or late goal and lose in regulation.  OT is mandatory tonight if they can’t win before then.  Need at least a point out of this. Bear down.

Meh. Not his style. Plus I think he has better ways of getting his point across than throwing around chairs. Maybe he can karate chop their god awful mascot in the throat. 

[JohninMinn.]

Got to give them some slack. They just played sunday afternoon.

This is it.   He can’t play every game

He’s added Greenway and Clifton. His mistake was not replacing Girgs and KO with NHLers

They are tentative tonight.  And every time their 4th line comes out we stop playing.  We should be blowing by them and scoring. 

[Second Line Center]

Under 30% FO wins

There is a clear and direct correlation when this team doesn’t play well with their continued inability to win draws.
