Why does this team continue to suck?

Relatively speaking, the Sabres are better 5 on 5 this year than they have been other years. The difference is their special teams are God awful all around. The PP started very strong but now is abysmal, sliding down the rankings for a long time into the 20's league wide. The PK is among the worst in the league and we also both score amongst the fewest shorthanded goals in the league while allowing near the most shorthanded goals in the league, In fact it got so bad during one long stretch in November that our PP was outscored by the other teams Shorthanded units 4-1. I am not sure what the answer is, but there is no way a team with Eichel and Dahlin on it should be among the worst PP in the league, What is everytone seeing that is causing this and what is the adjustment? Dahlin still has a penchant for shooting the puck directly into the shin pads of the player coming out to guard him at the top of the blueline on the PP, why doesn't he use his dangle skills to move out of the way slightly before shooting?

Just so sick and tired of the PK giving up goals like they are going out of style. We can't win games with both special teams sucking as badly as they do.

Sabres should REALLY do whatever is necessary to have Seattle take some of these terrible contracts they have so they can stop being hamstrung with the cap. Make deals and give up picks or whatever you need to so we can get rid of contracts like Okposo, etc. These deals are KILLING our ability to really get better because we have to only go after the lower end FA's.

I had a damn hip replacement and was doing stairs under a week later with my PT, what do you mean?

Couldn't have happened to a better person. I hate this douchebag.

Eat there enough and you will understand, Very small portions for the price they charge(I once ordered chicken pasta and the meal came in a huge bowl that was like 1/4 full - for $20. I was still hungry after I left and had to stop at Wendy's on the way home for something to eat) and the food comes in various states of being cooked many times, including fully raw(I had a Korean chicken sandwich once that I bit into that was fully raw in the middle. Not a little undercooked. RAW!). They also serve meat to vegan/vegetarians at times as well even though they ordered something that had no meat in it. Used to work at HSBC and our boss used to come in monthly and take us there almost every time until we simply had too many issues accumulate to overlook and had to find a new spot.

Drinks are OK there...dont eat the food

Said he was having visa issues and it would take until sometime this week to get them resolved

Our special teams are God Awful. How the hell can the PP be this bad with Eichel and Dahlin?? It reminds me of the year under Ruff with the Sabres having Drury, Briere, Campbell and all kinds of firepower where they win the Presidents Trophy and we couldn't even get a zone entry on the PP. People were literally calling for the team to decline the power play because we were so much better 5 on 5. Not quite there yet with this team, but getting pretty close.

Uggh...that is really tough...no Skinner and no Olaffson on a team that already can't score outside a few players.

Good way to start the new year. They needed that.

Exactly where do you get this information about the players being locker room problems? Yeah Bogo and Rodrigues asked for trades so those are low hanging fruit for your list but where do you come up with the other 4? Picking them oit of a hat?

Wouldn't matter, we already lost a ll 4 games to the Lightning this year, we wouldn't need to be afraid til next year.

No we are the best hockey market in the US.

This team is a jokeshow

JFC...this team sucks.

For both PK and PP. Our special teams have been killing is except for the first 2 weeks of the season when nobody realized all you needed to do was take away one timers from Olaffson on the PP. The most embarrassing part was that stretch in November when other teams scored 4 shorthanded goals over the course of the month while we scored only 1 PP goal.

Sabres God awful penalty killing raises its ugly head again. At least Eichel got a rare shortie for us.

No lead is safe with this team. SMFH

The Eichel Tower!

Holy secondary scoring Batman. Sheary with a 3 point night.

I hate the Bruins so much. How is it the Sabres never score goals like this but they constantly allow goals like that???

For 2 minutes. JFC can we ever catch a break?

Uggh. Not like he was scoring but he was still dangerous with the puck at times.
