Ya, Doan is third line on many teams and 4th line on a really good team. He's playing too far up the line up because we lack veteran Zucker types.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying YOU need to ignore stats. You do you. I'm just saying stop trying to convert me to your world view. We will never agree and you can throw boomer around as a faux insult or whatever else makes you happy but it's pointless. We see the game differently and always will. You do you, but also let me be me.

Meh. His effort and being a black hole when he has the puck are annoying enough to make me consider moving him.

Checks notes, came with Seth Appert from Rochester. Makes sense

You know they will.

and this is why you don't jump on the bandwagon too soon with this team. I'm not surprised by this. It's much like the Boston games were. Philly plays a tight D first system with movement along the boards. Very north south and very in your face and tight. Sabres have not done well against that sort of thing for years and it doesn't change. Too many lost puck battles, bad net front, and sloppy mistakes. Don't blame Ellis, their goals were all dirty or tough to stop efforts. Ellis made some big saves when he had a chance. As many of you know I've been comparing the Philly plan with the Buffalo plan since they started around the same time. This is far from definitive but tonight they were the better team and look like the better plan. I see a better foundation there even if they have less high end skill. Again, far from definitive, but at the moment that's what it is. Refs were a little too active in this game for my tastes but that too is what it is and their PP won out. So ya, back to fire Adams.

As has been stated many times before. The power play coach needs to be fired along with every one else

Almost but not quite. I want a Lindy redemption run. It’s highly unlikely but I want it anyway.

Went to the David Byrne concert. Not sorry I missed the game.

I knew we shouldn't have hired Carter Hutton

That video coach isn’t blameless, either.

Should have called a Timeout after the failed challenge to calm the team and reset. That’s on you Ruff. You are an awful Head Coach.

and thanks to Howdy Doody fify same team @Pimlach

They don’t get the little things, they take short cuts, and they play without passion much too often.

Never going to go 8 in 10 or more with our goaltending. Never.

Calgary. (Might even surprise us with the regulation W in Winnipeg too.)

They just gotta, right?… I mean, RIGHT?!

The team struggles to score. Im not thinking of trading Tage. Tuch on the other hand ....

I'm tempted to see what I could get for Tuch and Thompson. Give me more guys like Doan over Tuch who disappears for stretches and Thompson who doesn't do much unless he's putting the puck in the net.

Disappointing effort. Couldn’t capitalize on Zucker’s early goal. Penalties hurt us throughout and the failed Challenge was too much too early. Our D was dismal. Power’s play was pathetic. Never played with our speed. Didn’t shoot enough. Wasted our PP chances. In the end we quit. No character from our vets and leaders, imo.

Wow, they looked really bad tonight. Pretty weird. Twice the puck was near the blue line and two Sabres were near enough to get it but hade their backs to it. Philly kept it in and scored on one. WTF?! It may have happened more but I barely watched. What little I saw didn’t inspire me to keep watching.

And how would you say Erson played?

The coaching is sub-par (maybe sub-bogie?), and that’s on the GM, and that’s on Pegula.

On national TV of course. We play our worst on TNT
