Two or less

Yeah but not every 0-2 is the same. Bengals starting 0-2 and they can probably overcome it because they have proven talent. Someone like Carolina Panthers start 0-2 and they're toast. Sabres core and youth have never proved they can do it over the course of a season. A slow start, will only put them in a hole where they won't be able to get out of. And after getting steamrolled two games on neutral ice, it's hard to believe they will all a sudden start to click and stay above water in the near future. FWIW, in terms of Kings having jet leg, they are already on the east coast. They play in Quebec tonight and staying there until they come to Buffalo for the game.

You would have to be living under a rock to vote NO.

The Sabres are just a very flawed build team. Always a year too late. After the 2022/23 season they needed to restructure that entire fourth line. They wait until this summer. Only 9 teams scored LESS then the Sabres last season. Sabres didnt have a player in the TOP-93 in scoring last season (Jay Skurski tweeted this) and the Sabres let go of Jeff Skinner and his 24 goals. Without replacing him. I have no issues with dumping Skinner, they knew they had to dump him the second they did the fake coach search to convince Lindy Ruff to come work here. And by some reports it sounds like they tried but Martin Neces rejected them. They had no plan B? Plan C? It's not nuts and bolts. They are build very poorly and it shows. And mixing up the lines or playing some kids who have potential but are not ready yet, is not going to be the answer.

I bet we don't make it again til they expend the playoff field.

Sabres PP stats (4 MIN) Shots: 0 Faceoffs: 0/3 Woof

Yeah, today seems like a very important October game. Crazy how we got to this point. lol

I thought it was interesting how Lindy deployed the fourth line on the PK. SH TOI Malenstyn 0:20 Lafferty 0:15 Kubel 0:00 (Was in the box for 1 of our 2 penalties) I thought they were going to rely more on those guys to kill penalties. Greenway led with 2:24.

Sabres won 58% of the faceoffs in this game, a change from a year ago. However, they only went 1-5 on faceoffs on the PP. The one PP they won the faceoff, they ended up with 5 SOG. Not winning those key faceoffs is going to drive Lindy crazy.

Awesome, thanks for setting it up, i will be there.

These boys gonna face a legit roster tonight. Good luck to them but i have a feeling this might be the opposite of the first time we played. haha

Not exactly their best, but Ullmark is playing.

EF mentioned this morning on 32 thoughts that he had heard rumors that Krebs could be traded, but Krebs wanted it known that he wanted to remain in Buffalo.

per who?

Practice starts at 8am tomorrow morning. Kevyn Adams will speak shortly before practice to open training camp and Lindy Ruff will speak after practice.
