I have to agree with billsarecursed. Having the Center Ice package allows me to watch every team in the league playing that night, and it seems like alot of the other teams are playing a completely different game than this version of the Sabres.
What is exciting about hockey as a game to watch? The speed, the scoring, the hitting, spectacular saves, etc. The current Sabres come up short in all those categories. Although there may be players with speed, the Sabres always seem tentative when carrying the puck up ice. Scoring is limited to one line, and with the inevitable pending injury or cold streak, that will disappear too. Hitting? forget it. Other than a couple guys, this team thinks a poke check is an aggressive play. All the goaltending has been generally terrible so far this year.
For me, its really a struggle to watch this team night in, night out.
