Nolan said Foligno banged up but could possibly be back tomorrow. Goalie change for Anaheim. If Nuevirth plays like he did in the preseason he will be yanked quick. I should say if you let another team outshoot you by a 2-1 margain it's going to be another loss. Tank on Buffalo Tank On!

Carolina will get some offensive help when Skinner and Staal come back.

I wouldn't count on McDavid this early I would be satisfied by finishing at the bottom guaranteeing at least one of the big two.

We are gonna be in a battle for last for sure if they keep getting outshot by a 2-1 margain. They had some bad games last year but you would think a brand new season they wouldn't be getting outshot this bad in the first two games.

Wow outshot 47-23. Isn't that two games in a row getting outshot by a 2-1 margin. I believe that is worse than last year. We can only hope !

That's what we want! This team needs some superstars. Can't blame Enroth for this. He's going to have to play flawless in order to win plus Buffalo looks like they are gonna have trouble scoring goals again this year.

I know it's early but Devils could possibly be back in the playoffs this year. Seems like they have a lot of cast aways that are playing well and then throw in a really good goalie and they might be playoff bound again.

Looks like Boychuck is having another big game against Carolina. Isles up 4-2 on Carolina. Looks like Islanders are gonna start 2-0 and Csrolina without Staal and Skinner don't look that good. Leafs losing again.

Looks like the nhl gave Buffalo the draft one year to late! Well I guess Murray is going to have to make some moves later to acquire more 2016 first round picks!

In talking about Myers and his contract.

Don't worry Arizona is gonna have their own problem called goal scoring. Plus throw in they play in the western conference and your talking lottery pick. I thought so to. I just don't know if you move a player like this so early still in his career. But Mantha is pretty darn good and this guy is a goal scorer. If he moved I would guess it has something to do with his contract.

Wow that was quick by Dreger. I don't know about Myers getting moved unless Mantha comes back the other way. As far as the other 3 I expect 2 of them to be gone by trade deadline.

I agree inkman, I will also say getting outshot by double at home is pretty darn bad. Zemgus had a great goal but the player moving at him missing the puck if he had played the body on him Zemgus would have been laid out.

I have to agree with tank. I live out in Las Vegas and have tickets to both Buffalo games in Los Angeles and Anaheim. Does it suck that they are going through this? Hell Yes it does but this was all started by Regier and Murray inherited this mess. He knew what he was getting into. It's almost like an expansion squad except they are loaded with picks and prospects. I'm really excited for the future and if we land McDavid or Eichel this group of youngsters are going to be exciting to watch. Let's face it, I have been following Sabres hockey for a long time and the year they lost to Dallas they were exciting but were outgunned by a stronger offensive team. I actually thought they had the best chance to win the cup after the lockout if it wasn't derailed by all the injuries to the defense and Tim Connolly who I thought was playing unbelievable until he got crushed. Other than that they were just an also ran for all those years. I'm all for this tank even though I have to admit its brutal to go through. I knew it was going to take sometime but once Darcy started the tear down it was going all in about the total rebuild of the new core. This draft is crucial. With 5 picks in the first two rounds should really help. I still think it's going to be one more year after this and then you will see possibly a playoff team and a squad filled with exciting players.

If we pick 1 or 2 it's still gonna probably be one more season before they could possibly be a playoff squad but in sure it would be pretty darn exciting if McDavid or Eichel are in a Buffalo uniform.

He did look like positioning was pretty strong from him but I think people will want to see him take off with the puck instead of moving it so much. It almost looks like he is too timid to hold onto the puck. He's young and most 18 year olds don't step into the nhl right away without being highly skilled. He will get there but he will be gone back to juniors at the end of 9 games.

Why do I have a feeling Vanek is going to be real good this year for the Wild. You think he's got something to prove to all the critics talking about his work ethic.

Very good assessment especially on Reinhart. I'm all about not calling up Grigs until the injuries mount. Larson, Kaleta and Flynn can fill the void until the tank is complete. I have to admit it sucks routing against this team but the offense if it looks like it did tonight this season will be bad. They looked like a pickup game with as many 2 on 1 Columbus had in those few minutes in the second.

Looks like they are going to struggle again offensively. I'm thinking when Reinhart gets sent back to junior don't even call up Grigs and let him continue to develop in Rochester. You still have Kaleta, Flynn and Larson to put back in the lineup. Complete the tank. I highly doubt it! I'm sure both won't be here in the next few years.

Well that's the game. Starting the tank on the right foot!

He's lucky that d-man played the puck because he shoulda been laid out

Zengus baby!!!!! Zemgus is lucky that wasn't Scott Stevens because he would have been laid out.

Enroth can play great but u give any team that many 2 on 1 u will probably lose almost every night.

Wow how many 2-1 are they going to give up. That keeps up all year they will almost guarantee themselves at least Eichel.

That would be a disaster if that happened. It would be another pick in the teens and a first round exit.
