GDT: Sabres @ Devils (in Prague), 10/5 @ 10am ET, MSG (local), NHLN, 550

[Pimlach]

Allen seems to have big games against us.  Unbelievable. 

An EN goal is coming.

I couldn't quite find the words. Shallow grave was going to be in my response. Thank you for saying it so I don't have to.

Shallow grave was also in my thought process too.

Well at least the guys got a European vacation paid for by the team  NHL and got lots of great pictures. I’m sure we will be told there was lots of team bonding that will carry them through the season. 

Let’s not give Pegula credit on the NHL’s Dime 

[Bangarang]

Let me guess, we're going to be really bad only to have the top prospects be defenseman

Outshot 37-17. Pathetic.

Special teams are bad and a big part of the imbalance.   

 

[ExWNYer]

Here is my positive spin...they played at 10:00 AM EST so at least I have the rest of my Saturday to enjoy.

Appert and his zero NHL coaching experience will fix the PP

Better than what we had the previous 4 years.

[CallawaySabres]

I agree the Devils are good.  I have said all offseason that I think they should compete for the top of the conference. BUT, this 'core' has to at least be able to compete with that. This core...Dahlin, Cozens, Tuch, Quinn, Power.....THIS is the group that is going to make a run at the cup IF its ever going to happen. If this core is so far away from other teams they need to beat, then you aren't getting a new core for close to another decade.

This core is a trash bag full of broken toys.  It's what happens when you turn your organization over ti an incompetent pencil pusher/kiss-ass like Kevyn Adams.

[Second Line Center]

Why is Greenway getting so much ice time? 
 

Is it the injury to JJ?

[bob_sauve28]

We still have a chance! 

[ExWNYer]

They didn't allow the empty-netter today. PROGRESS! 😂

[Big Guava]

They can't even get a ***** shot on goal

[K-9]

Hey, we didn’t give up an empty net goal. Something to build on. 😂

There were a couple of months during the 2022/23 season that our power play was among the best in the league. With largely the same guys we have now, minus Skinner. I don't understand how they can't even find a way to even approach competence now 

[ASlugAbove]

Is there a wgr postgame show? I feel sorry for that lad if so

That 'has been' coach had a better record with that team than they were after he was fired last year, and probably had the most decimated roster in the NHL by injuries last year.  Plus I think if there is an issue with this team, we are seeing its the players (or owner). The have had enough coaches, with different backgrounds, different styles... over the years, the results never change.

Yes, Brian Koziol is at the game.

[HumanSlinky39]

Two goals in two games against a team missing two of their best defensemen. I'm sorry, that is unexcusable.

We should not need the mods to come in and clean up a GDT full of political nonsense.

There is a well advertised Club for that talk.

There is not a mod online now, so I suggest that anyone who participated (you know who you are) delete your political based post and we forget it ever happened.

Opposing teams figured out how to neutralize the Thompson one-timer.  It's taken the coaching staff a season and a half to come up with a plan B.

Okay Rob. 

Too punches to the head

If Peterka has a concussion he likely won’t be able to fly back for a couple of days.
