Well that sucked, per usual NHL sets Buffalo up to lose in Game 1 by putting us against a team that already played a game and with a Top 3 goalie. We go 0-4 on PP and every good chance was stopped by the jackass in their net. Feels like no matter the players, the coaches, the front office and even the effort doesn’t make a difference.

Bastard tackled our guy to get the ENG

Control most of the 2nd and 3rd yet just can’t buy a goal.

Got better as the period went on, not surprised that the Rangers came out fast after their lackluster game against Pittsburgh. Refs seem blind though to any Ranger infractions.

Thompson now since Benson is out

Benson from Thompson & Norris

Early in his career, he’d play solid for 3 to 5 games when needed before sitting in the press box a month. Likely because he’d play simple hockey and not try to over play to keep a roster spot.

Jacob Bryson, great guy, used to be a solid spot starter but has become more and more of a liability and pariah to fans as he’s been used far too much the last 2 years.

Neither did I, but the market is certainly helping cap his contract numbers. Also Kaprisov is starting to look ugly for at least 2/3 years.

Thank god, was terrified he was going to Boston next year to bail them out of prison.

I wanted Silovs too to be honest

Oh I’d like to still have Ullmark but he was going to leave regardless after his father’s passing. Had we extended him earlier maybe we could of kept him.

Frankly I'll always believe Ullmark would of just continued to get hurt in Buffalo; completely unscientific but just a gut feeling.

To announce a game once in awhile, perhaps but I still feel it creepy.

Can anyone tell me what exactly Geogiev was trying to accomplish in OT? he's a big goalie, he doesn't need to take overt risks like Levi to make up for his size.

I know technically Thompson was tasked with the Dman but in that specific situation the Sabres D man should have shaded over to Karlsson since Thompson was trying to intercept the initial draw.

***** Crosby

Krebs got high sticked again

Finally the domination gives us a goal

Happy no injuries, and it’s preseason. Dumb goal call but can’t really fault any Sabres player so that’s a good thing

What absolute BS

Who?

Just give him his 10 and make him happy, if he wants 12 tell him 6 years max

Don't think it truly matters; this franchise cannot afford to have a re-re-rebuild. At this point they just need to make the playoffs and keep their core happy enough to get there. If you have to give him 8 years 10mil per then do it; its a bad contract for sure but keeps the food on the table, so to speak.

Thompson's TNT off the draw
