    This season has been so bad I have gone out and bought ice hockey equipment and I am starting to play hockey again after a 15ish year hiatus. Watching the Sabres these past years has literally sucked the fun out of hockey for me to the point where I've said "forget this, I'll do it myself."

     

    Instead of watching the game last night I was at a stick and puck session at Prospect Park whacking around pucks and practicing my skating. Looks like I made the right choice.

    Would showing Bisons games as the 'primary' show in the summer allow them to even sell enough advertising to cover fixed costs?

     

    Sabres games & ancillary programming and Bills ancillary programming could, isolated by themselves, make money. Would that be enough to cover the non-money makers?

     

    Why not give some players some reality TV shows to act as "fluff" during the off-season. Maybe force Kiko and Girgensons to be roommates for a summer and put the cameras on them, 24/7. I'd probably watch that.

     

    Or maybe have a "Punk'd"-eque show where someone follows around Leino and throws eggs at him, keys his car twice a week or maybe even cold-###### him just for the f of it? I'd probably watch that too.

    Oh Lord, though are so great and powerful and magnificent. How just and good though are, and how low, insignificant and meek we be. Grant us just wish in this short and uncertain life, our noble saviour. May we see a Sabre's power play goal oh merciful one. A light to guide us in this oh so uncertain times. Though we be wicked and lousy win sin, allow us just once to taste the fruit of success on the man advantage

     

    Only 3 other teams are scoreless on the Power Play: Rangers, Wild & the Jets. Who will hold out the longest (probably us).

     

    Looking over the stats page it's also alarming that the Sabres are dead last in Face-off % at 38.5%. The next team is the Rangers at 44.7

     

    It's gonna be a loooong year.

    Did you see the replay of the John Scott goal? HE'S GOT MAD SKILZ.

     

    Happy to see Big John Scott pot a puck. It was nice to have those "character" guys to lighten the mood from time to time, lessen the suffering of our team. As it stands now, I don't have a favorite Sabre. I like Zemgus for his effort but that eastern European charisma isn't exactly winning me over.

    I'm shocked at how bad they're playing. Where is the compete? Were they this bad last year, it's hard to think that far back when I've tried so hard to block it from my memory.

     

    A quick look reveals this after 3 games last year.

     

    2013 1st 3 Games:

     

    Sabres goals: 2

    Goals Against: 7

     

    Sabres Shots: 76

    Shots Against: 115

     

    2014 1st 3 Games:

     

    Sabres goals: 4

    Goals Against: 14

     

    Sabres Shots: 57

    Shots Against: 131

     

    We've doubled our goal output but have also doubled our goals against. It's gonna be a long season without miller.

  22. Prediction time: Which player will take the biggest step up in 2014-15?

    #1 & #3 I chose Grigorenko. He's been dragged through a real $hitparade so far by the organization. I hope he can use that as a chip on his shoulder and be able to compete & produce at an NHL level.

     

    #2: Tyler Myers. Everybody here seems to be agreeing with the goalies which I agree with to an extent but for the first time in a long, long time the team is devoid of a goaltender who is going to steal a game for us when all other parts of our game break down. We need Myers to step up to the player he's shown he can be and more importantly paid to be. He needs to set an example to the rest of our D-Core. If he plays confidently it will trickle down to the rest of the team.

     

    Personally, I don't think that's going to happen and poor play in our defensive zone by the D & Goalies is what is going to keep us nestled tightly in the bottom of the standings all year. I do predict our offensive to be more productive this year (how can it not be?). I sincerely believe Leino had some sort of kinetic vampirism that sucked the goal-juice from everyone on the team. Getting rid of the waiver scraps and having the younger guys become less young will help as well.
