Mustache of God

This team needs multiple wins in a row. This is a game last year that would be a guaranteed loss. Are these Sabres any different? Is tonight the night they figure out the power play?

I have to believe the injury he had on day 1 of camp is lingering and is a big factor in what we're seeing of him on the ice. It's clear somethings not right. If I'm the coaches I take him off #1 PP unit for now, anything for a spark.

Need to string some wins together. What doomed this team last year was the inability to win multiple games in a row.

I found this googling, not sure how true this is but looks like the pens had a rough start last year. Toronto went 51 attempts without a goal once but I'm not sure if that was to start the season. "I googled that Toronto holds the NHL record of most consecutive powerplays without a goal (51). Pittsburgh is now 0/34 and 12 games without scoring pp goal and they have allowed some shorthanded goals during these games as well."

We're already mid death spiral.

I believe this game is also on HBO MAX. Is tonight the night we score on the PP?

Whatever it is, I hope they pipe in some of RJ's vocals on it. "GOAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL" and then cue the music.

I'm predicting a blow out. 7-2 Sabres. Lets go!

Watch the Sabres get shutout tonight...

I never liked Reimer and at the surface don't care that he's gone, but this whole scenario stinks of poor asset management. You could have sent Levi down as a paper transaction and then waive Reimer as after teams have settled with their rosters. Now we have another position we're thin at.

If UPL or Levi go down with a week-to-week injury who fills in as our back-up goaltender? Do we then overplay the uninjured goalie until they then suffer an injury from being overextended?

Or Benson, which is encouraging.

We are one goalie injury from being in big trouble. Woof.

Last year the team couldn't string multiple wins together to save their lives. I'm not freaking out about 2 losses to start the season but the way they lost concerns me. I need to see them get a W and follow that up with two or 3 more wins to feel more comfortable.

Would anyone be unhappy if he sold the team?

Being outshot 28-11 after 2 periods. Absolutely pathetic. Passes aren't crisp and they look lost. These guys need some conviction in their play.

Bring back Matty Ellis, his system was just starting to set in.

That's Jiri Kulich's music!

Bye Felicia.

Called it!

Welp, at least we had hope through the end of the pre-season.

It smells like a dusty old fart.

Win or lose, the only thing I want to see out of this game is the team starting hot and fast. If we open the season sleep walking through another first period it'll be a portent of another year of suffering. When that puck drops I wanna see those guys flying around the ice and our bottom 6 hitting anything and everything. First goal of the year: Power.
