And after all that bs, NJ goes to the PP. SSDY...Same Sabres Different Year.

Sabres have a way of sucking excitement out of the start of the season. 

[Bangarang]

This team is so unimpressive 

[pastajoe]

Kulich making sure he gets his name on the stat sheet.

[Sidc3000]

Thank you Greenway

[SABRES 0311]

Fourth line getting bodies in front of Allen and throwing the hits. Clifton separating man from puck and Byram looking to make good breakout passes.

Everyone else…

As of this post, he’s the only Sabres forward credited with a hit. 

[Wyldnwoody44]

Razor throwing shade at the call. Love it 

[Believer]

Bravo, Greenway

[Carmel Corn]

Looking for a sign of a pulse….at least Tuch and Greenway are in the building, but everybody else seems asleep.

[bob_sauve28]

Their PP so much better than ours 

[ExWNYer]

We should nickname our goalies 'Dr. Pepper' because they are going to be under siege all season.

D) Lindy believes the issue is in the top six, wants to let Kulich have a chance in his home country to see if he has a spark (plus he’s rested), and Benson is the low man on the totem pole in the aforementioned top six. Lindy doesn’t want to bump Benson down to the bottom six. Ergo, Benson sits and Krebs slots in (Krebs also being fresh).

I don’t agree with it. I’d sit one of Thompson or Cozens, start the rookie, and let that be the kick in the dupa the top six deserves. But Lindy also has to manage personalities and I guess he believes mixing up the top six sends a message regardless. 

What teams bench their core star centers 1 game into a season?  It’s going to take 15-20 games of putrid effort and that might not even work.  These guys are on cruise control.  They got paid.  Time for autopilot.  

[sodbuster]

Just not enough talent on this team. Shouldn't be surprising though. I understood moving on from Skinner, but seeing what he was replaced with has me second guessing it. I don't know what Lindy could possibly do to squeeze 92+ points out of this group.

What good is "talent" if you don't give a sh*t whether you win or lose? 

[bob_sauve28]

Great time for a stick break 🤷‍♀️

[PromoTheRobot]

Maybe those balsa wood sticks weren't the best idea.

[LGR4GM]

Good thing our 2nd best left wing is in this game... wait wait... no Ruff decided to bench him. 

[bob_sauve28]

Playing better

[SABRES 0311]

Never thought I’d say it but I like Power. He and Byram are our best pair.

But not getting any puck luck.

[Scottysabres]

Morning all, how's the team responding this AM?

They showed up 3/4 of the way through the first. Better than 10 minutes into the second.
