Even Miller wouldn't be so terrific with that D in front of him. My God it is so weak, all of them and it's year after year.

You'll never see it with this current crew.

I blame Connor Timmins for being light on his man in front. Kastelic just plain outworked him for the goal. Soft soft D AGAIN!

Who exactly is going to do that? Jesus this team is weak defensively. P.U!!!!!

To Rochester at the very least.

That was a #### goal. He looked like a pee wee goaltender on that.

No one laid the body on anyone on the Leafs 3rd goal. AGAIN! D is still suspect.

and yet many here will defend his defense. I think it's weak. He can skate fluidly, pass, and score but defensively, I don't find him all that great.

God bless Alex Lyon and an outstanding effort by the Buffalo Sabres. I think all of us needed this (and that includes the hockey club!!) A little more confidence but amazing where simple hard work and having each others back gets you! Reminds me of the Ted Nolan Sabres. Not loaded with talent but busting ass each game out. It goes a long long way! Great effort!

Lyon is quite a decent proven goaltender. Make it his job to lose. If he starts showing fatigue etc. Ellis time. I liked this deal when they got him.

But we would love him in blue and gold. He's there when the moments count!

A multi Stanley Cup winning child. Some might call him a spoiled child with all those Cup rings!

I know. It's in the back of my head also.

Good for him. They need to get him a victory. He was the only guy who showed up to play in the earlier games. I hope this game gets the boys playing again. Some confidence was sorely needed. Time will tell.

I'm actually surprised how bad they are. I know Tkachuk is out, but they have some other good players. Man, could be a long season in the Nation's Capital also.

You have to be sure "the upgrades" don't have "no movement clauses" with BUFFALO on it. I'm betting, most anyone with some kind of seniority will have this. (can't blame them either. It is the one "not so secret" no one likes to talk about.)

and then there's Paul Maurice........ old school!

Like, Krueger? Granato? How about a Ron Rolston type? Remember him? How did the aforementioned work out for this club? (and I'll include Phil Housley who hasn't seen another head coaching job in the league either.)

Really???? Wow! I can't believe there were no takers for him in North America? Hope he's not in a "target area"! Those Ukrainian drones have a way of periodically finding their mark!

I'd easily take DeBoer or Gallant.

Coaches the way he played the game- hard and with maximum effort. Love him!

I look at Montreal's lineup and they are giant steps ahead of the Sabres. Better drafting and better coaching and a much much better GM. Their rebuild will pay dividends long before this sorry club does (if ever) Unbelievable.

Yup, cross ice pass right to an opponent, Dahlin is no rookie anymore. Clearing bodies in front of his goaltender?

It sure as hell does. Absolutely.

Even if they did try and tank for McKenna, you know the Sabres, no guarantees he falls into their lap! McDavid II.
