  1. Sabres have to work on face offs. Losing too many tonight.
  2. Back to back periods where they give up a goal in the first minute. Have to play cleaner and not take penalties.
  3. Minor mistake by Johnson ends up in a goal. This team can not afford to give up easy goals.
  4. The Sabres are showing fighting spirit. Hope it pays off.
  5. force the play...all or nothing time.
  6. Ekblad with a bad penalty under pressure.
  7. Sabres are pushing the play. Keep it up and the goal will come. Don't see apathetic gliding out there like we saw in past seasons.
  8. The number of fans in attendance is a shame. Quebec City wants a franchise...how about a move?
  9. There are plenty of empty seats to move to.
  10. First game of the season that I can watch. Sabres look better than the squad that started last season.
  11. It is sweet. No major holes to fill. The rebuild is going to be a quick one
  12. Not a great year for FA but several solid vets can be had:. Look forward to seeing if the Sabres add a body or two.
  13. This year's goalie talent in the, per Central Scouting, is developmental only. See a run in the late second or early third rounds. Sabres can draft a goalie and develop him for the next four years. This is a smart trade. Lehner is entering his prime.
  14. Since January Murray has over turned the roster. Here is who he brought in: Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian, Jason Kasdorf, Chad Johnson, Jack Nevin, Robin Lehner, David Legwand, Ryan O'Reilly and Jamie McGinn 3rd (2016 conditional), 5th (2016), 7th (2016), 2nd (2017). He traded away: Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux, Brian Flynn, Michel Neuvirth, Torrey Mitchell, Chris Stewart, Nakita Zadorov, Mikhail Grigorenko, J.T. Compher, 1st (2015-21), 1st (2015-25), 2nd (2015-31) I think he got value and rid the Sabres of Darcy's mistakes. The parlayed guys he picked up in trades for better talent. Sure he got rid of 3 premium picks and young talent but he got very good talent in return. The rebuild will not be very long. No Edmonton model of suffering a decade for a chance to make the playoffs. Murray wants to make the playoffs ASAP.
  15. One can hope that the second pick is mid first and ready to step up.
  16. I wish they went back to the ping pong balls and all the GMs in studio. The looks on their faces tells the tale. TM has 3 picks in the top 31 this year. Add a few free agents to the mix, they will not be a lottery team next year. The young squad will be exciting.
  17. Sorry to disagree but it does for hockey TV ratings and exposure. Majority of NHL audience is East of the Mississippi.
  18. Bingo! Hit the nail on the head.
  19. Yes. Astute observation. It is been missing from the Sabres.
