Eleven

Hey look another example.

Why not? Because Anderson played 36 hours ago? If that's the case, then Adyms and Granato both are to blame.

If DG doesn’t pull UPL, it is a sign that he doesn’t care.

I like Levi but you are SO RIGHT.

UPL didn’t wake up this morning, just pull him now.

The last time the Flyers were down 4-0 to Buffalo, as well as I can remember, Robert Esche lost it. He blew his cool. He flipped his lid. Did anyone see any sort of that passion last night? No. They had quit.

My man, they quit yesterday. I don't need five paragraphs for that. I'm trying too hard?!

I don't think they have this yet. It might be very soon, depending on goaltending, but I don't see it right now.

I don't think you're quite addressing all of it. They quit before they showed up in Philadelphia. 21 shots in a third period that featured 6 minutes of man advantage doesn't vitiate that. Tuch was around for the first two periods, no? And the Sabres' shots increased in the third because of three power plays, no? This doesn't mean that Tuch sux (rhyme!) or anything, but he certainly isn't a panacea for every Sabres ill. It just means that they are subject to the same low-effort BS no matter whether Tuch is in the game. I wouldn't mind him or Dahlin as captain (but I lean Dahlin), and I remain firm in my long-held belief that it should be a player vote anyway.

The quick answer isn't always the best answer. Three Flyers penalties--and no Sabres penalties--in the third is a more than plausible explanation.

Many things, and I've done some of them quickly. On top of that, US-based NHL teams--especially among NA sports--are used to getting work permits for players on a minute's notice.

Come on. At no point last night did they look interested in playing hockey. They looked like a bunch of pouty teenagers.

And Comrie and Anderson are the ones in their primes.

I don't think he even can practice with the team until they get him a work permit...and I don't see why that wasn't done approximately 90 seconds after he signed.

Any updates? Surely the team has acquired work permits in shorter time frames than this...

Please, against Boston. He'll have extra mo. PLEASE.

This is where your opinion and mine depart.

1. Bad lineup. 2. Bad effort. 3. Bad goaltending and another refusal to change. Leads to 4. Granato. I am running out of patience. The fact that his name is not "Ralph Krueger" is insignificant. I am beginning to wonder about Granato's decisions and whether he can lead an NHL team.

And now? I love you, man, but no. This team has a lot of "quit," and it's nothing to do with Tuch or Dahlin. Let's just say I'm aching for NJ to go out in the first round even though I'll be rooting for my guy.

There are at least three problems with that lineup.

They both do, too early and too often.

He sidelines as an usher at the AMC on Maple Road.

You're also some weird priest of the occult who destroys civilizations so maybe that takes time to cultivate.

This guy's watching movies at 2pm on a Friday instead of tracking Sabres news.
