My god they are fun to watch again.

What to do when Carrier and Girgenson are healthy?
It will be a shame to see Moulson take a roster spot from any of the younger, faster and better options!
What's the ideal line- up?
Bailey, O'Reilly, Okposo
Kane, Eichel, Reinhart
Ennis, Girgenson, Foligno
Baptiste, Rodriguez, Carrier
Gio traded and Moulson in press box?
I like this lineup and agree Gio and Moulson in press box/traded. I don't know if the veteran presence means anything or whether that is a trite phrase. Speed. The kids show fearlessness bringing the puck to the inside in the offensive zone. If I see Gionta skating to the outside one more time where he flings a catchable wrist shot to the goalie I will die from banging my head against the desk.

Like to see Baptiste and Bailey up here permanently. Speed kills. Liking Kane's game a lot too. Similar players in that they all pressure the defense with their wheels. Team's passing is a lot better lately.

Lightning ain't gonna strike twice...

Great game again. at 4-2 I left it on thinking all was lost. Not sure why I left it on - rarely rewarded by this team for such faith. Glad to be wrong!!!

Wow that was a good game.

God this game is dull.

You don't stop Matt Moulson, you only hope to contain him!!!!!!!!!!

What a great stretch of hockey last 5 minutes. Sabres are playing well. Feels like the team is gelling.

Team hung in there with a top NHL team. Too bad they could not get a point. Pleasure watching real hockey again. I hope that we can take this as the moral victory it is. The record is not very good, but I expect this team to go on a win streak at some point.

This team is fun to watch. First game of the season I am seeing. The go into the zone with pace. The get some chances. Most of the team seems to have real skills. I get the feeling they will only get better and better as they play together more.
Hope springs eternal.

Someday when the bomb comes, the only things left will be Keith Richards, cockroaches, and Luke Adam's potential.

If Tampa wins, they will have gone through 4 of the original 6: Detroit, Montreal, New York and Chicago.

The bottom is hit at the end of the season. The slate is clean and we start building with a bunch more good draft picks, a handful of guys worth keeping, a pile of picks to trade if necessary for established vets with good attitudes, open cap space for free agents, and a few guys coming back from injury who look to be difference makers.
I will start watching again in July when the off season starts, In the meantime, this was what needed to happen, and we traded away everything we could so we could start clean. This is what decisive, unsentimental people do.
Absolutely. I played in many a beer league and no matter how bad the teams I played on were, I always wanted to win. And all I got paid per game was maybe a beer or two and a case of chlamydia on occasion.
This wins the internet today. Laughing my ass off....

Foligno is a waste. He is on the team seemingly based on his pedigree based and one terrific goal a few years back against the Maple Leafs.
In a game like this, I miss John Scott.
-
I am not seeing much to build on. Pretty spiritless.
-
Sabres have settled down and are playing better.
But the Kings already have the insurmountable 1-0 lead.

I think the key question about tanking is figuring out when is the right time for Tim Murray to start spending in free agency. Once you have some home grown core young talent, you start using cap space to buy free agents intelligently. With high certainty we aren't buying anything but budget free agents this coming off season, and play with the motley crew of lower cost veterans who won't be floaters. Do we do the same thing in the summer of 2015?
If we plan on building building a new ethos with non-whiny ###### and non-smurfs (Darcy could not find character guys or power forwards who could work as a team) , we will likely be pulling high character/low talent guys to set examples and select reclamation projects off of waivers. If you have enough young guys on the payroll, we will have a relatively cheap team. Hopefully, it is a well coached, motivated group of spirited, competitive young guys getting better and better, and not a dispirited group who turn the talented youngsters into toxic headcases with lousy attitudes. If we have the cap space, we can start spending all at once to start moving in some expensive stars a stockpile of cash for maximum affect. But like a runner in a middle distance race, when is the right time to start your "kick".

He is one of the few reasons to get excited about the team. Hustle. Hard nosed. Not always 100% smart. Won't take crap. It is how I would like to think Buffalo is....

Sobotka, Sheary, Pominville, Okposo, Middlestadt - are they just not good enough to score? They seem to float. I notice Rodriguez, Girgs and Larsson.
I would like to see one more rambunctious guy with snarl. Bogosian/Risto have it and are difficult to play against - but do we have any forward with grit?
