My summation:
Kane
We didn't perform our best individually
We didn't prepare our best individually
Came back to early from injury
Sabres need more "bite and grit" in their game
Gorges
Need to be more consistently doing things the right way
We need to grow up a little bit
Coach and system is not an issue
If you're gonna be in the NHL you better be able to understand the system or you shouldn't be here.
You shouldn't need a boost to play the game
Trade? meh, I'm not quitting
Lehner (pissed as per usual)
Need string of wins, play 60 minutes
The open, back and forth game didn't work, keep it simple like other winning teams
We gave away wins, they weren't taken from us
Risto
Not enough win streaks, many ups and downs
D? - too many shots on our net
Fine with ice time, wants more
Reinhart
Not satisfied with his numbers
Team: Not consistent intensity
We could learn a lot from the PP for 5-5 play
Gionta
Team: Better mindset needed
Need more maturity and fall back on foundation, never established "foundation" style
All on players! Need to perfect all the little habits so that it's second nature
O'Reilly
A lot needs to change with each guy, accountability
Personally, be better leader, more vocal, consistent
Ice time not an issue, wants to play all 60
On maturity: tough to say "how to play the right way", finding the way to "play with success"
Coach is fine, changed a bit more aggressive towards the end
Gionta is awesome
Foligno
Thought he was consistent
Needs to play at the level of his linemates, whether 3rd or top line, change his play accordingly
They never jumped on the opportunity to move up in the standings
Ennis
Paraphrase "players need to look in the mirror"
Inconsistency is on players and coaches, whole organization
Need better mindset "what it takes to be a champ"
Eichel (in a "I'm just here so I won't get fined" attitude)
Ups and downs
Not happy being under a point/game
They didn't execute the coaches plan
Missed Okposo
Feels he hasn't scratched the surface on where he could be
Paraphrase: Some guys are just passengers on this team. If you aren't dedicated to being the best NHL player ever, get the f off my team.

Doesn't take a genius to see the issues here.
