Sabres are looking like a real NHL team...coulld we be seeing a transformation happening rightbefore our eyes??

Skinner has the jets!! What a goal!

Beautiful puck movement on the power play...Okposo buries it. I dont want to be too strong with it but I feel the Sabres are pretty much dominating this game. Am I being too optimistic? I mean there are times Anaheim looks like we did for much of last year...running arouns in their own end for 30 seconds clearing the puck out to the Sabres in the neutral zone and then we bring it back in and repeat the process.

Sabres are badly outplaying the Ducks even though they are down 2-0.

Sabres were the better team in that period

It was blatant sarcasm

At least 2 more years

Housley does not want to reward the team with wins for poor play in front of the goalie. So he wants them to lose 5-1 when they play poorly instead of getting a shutout and winning.

As bad as they have played the last 2 games is as good as they are playing this game. This team is an enigma. Also. Why is Ullmark not the starting goalie for this team? All he does is not allow goals.

The PP was bad most of the year even with them. Housley took the #1 PP in the NHL the year before he got there with mostly the same players and turned it into dog crap.

This team is playing with their head up their ass. Its unbelievable how bad they look in their own zone. Inexcuseable.

Then who do you blame when we continue to turn high scoring players from other teams into 10 and 15 goal scorers here? Funny how players leave here and suddenly figure out how to score again.

The problem is they SHOULDN'T be. They have enough scoring talent to be far far better than they are. There is really no excuse other than Housley's system is failing miserably to let them flow offensively.

Something isn't right when your team consistently turns 25 and 30 goal scorers into 10 and 15 goal scorers.

This team has way too much offensive talent to have the same damn issues scoring goals as they did last year. It is unacceptable to be shut out twice in 6 games with as much top end scoring talent as we have. Whatever system we run offensively doesn't work and needs to be changed.

Maybe he should focus on stopping a puck in a shootout

Nope. Games of skill. Same as Bowling.

I dont consider Golf a sport...its a game of skill. To me to qualify as a sport there has to be some type of physical interaction with the opposing player or team. Golf has no such interaction...now if you had to stand on the green and dodge tee shots of your opponent then maybe...

I should have clarified the 4 major sport leagues in the US....the Generals are not an NBA team

They don't play in a real league

456 Games!!

Sabres have finally done it! Unsure how many games exactly it was but I believe it stretched back at least 4 seasons...it was a topic of conversation on Schopp and the Bulldog last year at some point since the Sabres have been so bad and particularly bad to start the seasons they never even got to 1-0 or 2-1...

If the Sabres hang on to win today they will have snapped what might be the longest number of consecutive days with an under .500 record in sports history.

Its easier to start from scratch sometimes than trying to change habits of people that have already been there a long time. Different situations. Different realities. Starting from complete nothing can sometimes be easier than making tons of changes with leftovers mixed in. You can never have a true clean slate that way. If players were just robots with no humanness to them, then yes, I would agree. Players are not robots tho and reality doesn't work so easily.

Lots of new guys again. Might take a little time to gel. We have some talent we will not be as bad as last year by a long shot. I'm expecting a big surge after the all star break by this team
