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

[Wyldnwoody44]

Thompson is NOT a "star" 

Cozens is not consistent enough to be a top 6 player. 

What happened to our illustrious captain, he looks so disinterested. 

Krebs... Nuff said. 

Ruff in all of his glory, benched out only. Player with heart for said Krebs. 

We let a dirty hit basically go, hung Levi out to dry, couldn't out skate anyone to a loose puck and quite simply looked like a college club team. 

I'm struggling to see any light here, the tunnel isn't just long, it's collapsed and we're running out of oxygen.

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

Good thing he has family in Germany he can go stay with at least.

Mods are asleep ?

Probably. They must have been watching this game.

[Berg]

Big disappointment..

[Goldseatsaud]

Ruff leaves his old team and they win. Hmm

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

Donnie’s resume looks a lot better today.  He got a year of exciting hockey out of these guys.  Snooze fest this weekend.

Just noticed we posted the same thought at the same time. Great minds indeed!

The Sabes look slow because they're thinking too much, hesitant... you can see it they're not sure of the decisions they're making.   

The intent to play how Lindy wants them to play is there, but they're second guessing themselves.    Can't play hockey that way, it's instinctual.

Ill give them a month or so to show improvement... but it's gonna be tough to watch for a bit here.

Can't wait for that month to go by and then watch us fruitless try to dig out of a 15 point hole to miss the playoffs again

Are the Sabres gonna get booed onto the ice Thursday?

It’s what they deserve.

I reluctantly feel fortunate I stopped buying tickets.

[Two or less]

 

Sabres PP stats (4 MIN)

Shots: 0
Faceoffs: 0/3

Woof

[bunomatic]

As far as the game goes for me personally all of the positive feel good gonna slay the dragon drivel we heard pre season is gone. We essentially look like the same team with a different bottom 6. Totally outplayed. Levi had a good game. Can’t say the same for anyone else in the forward ranks. On to the next one I suppose.🤷🏻‍♂️

The fans will cheer them until they get down a couple goals, then the Fire Kevyn chants will start.

Ok this was good

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

Do they even have any top prospects. Does not seem that way when they get to the big club

Watched about 10 min of the 2nd period and then left to run some errands. 
 

Pegula & Co. have ruined this franchise.  I stay with Spectrum in WNY in order to see the Sabres on TV, but I am so close to just giving up on the Sabres and the NHL. 
 

Just tired of a BAD & BORING product. 
 

This is the nightmare that just won’t end.

Donnie is the reason that this team is a disjointed mess with no clue how to play fundamentally sound hockey.  

Ruff is a high-floor/low-ceiling coach, but is good at installing a system with solid fundamentals.  The young guys on the Devils used the fundamentals they learned under Ruff to destroy the Sabres this weekend.

Looks like another long season ahead. They actually look worse under Lindy so far. Both Games were non competitive. Quite disturbing.

Perhaps they’re overthinking it as you said and that’s certainly a contributing factor, but I think they look slow and hesitant mostly because the Devils flat out have superior speed and skill from top to bottom.

I gave up on the NHL and Bettman's clown show years ago. I'm currently on life-support with the Sabres. They are the only reason I still watch the bigger "product". Loyalty can be a real beotch.

Benson has a LBI

Peterka obviously has a concussion
