    The problem isn’t between their ears.   The problem is Bryson and Pilut can not play in the same game 

    maybe you can get away playing 1 of them but not both.  lyubushkin is still hurt and Joker is in his first game back, doesn’t help

     

    no way power and Dahlin can play together an entire game.    Please come back soon Mule!! 
     

    add in avg goaltending at best and your gonna lose 

    Adams needs to make a move for another Dman and not another 5’10 puck-moving dman but a big body Dman who can actually play D. 

    We need a good goalie also. Comrie is at 3.65 gaa And Anderson is well on his way to being over 3 gaa. Tuff to win consistently when you have to score 4+ goals every game. Would be nice if our goalie would steal a game now and then as well.

    Coming from behind for a win never gets old.

    Love the veteran moves by Okposo and Girgensons (inspiring the younger players and providing valuable lessons of how to play).  

    It was said many times at the beginning of the thread but the uniforms are bad.  It was distracting to watch the play at times with the white.  Next.

     

    Agreed. To much white. I think a time or two I lost a player in the ice.

    This will be my first Halloween the Sabres have a game as a homeowner. How do you handle games that fall on Halloween? I imagine I'll have the tablet out on the patio while I hand out candy?

    Sell your house move two miles to the end of a dead end dirt road. We did this and haven't had any trick or treaters in the fifteen years we've been here.

    Goaltending makes a world of difference 

    Hence my harping about needing a good goalie for the last two years. That has really been my only complaint with management. I just don't understand why it took them so long to address it. And really this year they just took a flyer on commri. So far it is looking like it will pay off.  Hope it continues.

  5. Great game. Hopefully Comrie's game last night was the rule and not the exception.  If so we will be in the hunt  for playoff spot.  TNT's goal was great. Dahlin has got it figured out.  Now if we can get Tuch and Skinner going. The young kid's are holding their own and will improve  continually although it will feel  agonizingly slower than we like.  We want them ready now. But it's fun to watch them grow.

  6. Yeah.... I'm still pretty disappointed that this is the best management could do concerning goaltending this year.  Goaltending usually makes or breaks the team.  If they lose confidence in the goalies, it's over. You don't  necessarily have to have great goaltending but you do have to have good solid goaltending for the playoffs. I just don't think this collection of goalies will be able to do that. Hope I'm pleasantly surprised. 

  7. A great game to finish out the season and give RJ one last victory. To much to say but just a couple of things. Thanks for the memories RJ. Suban was a nice touch. The guys wanted it to much early and were gripping the stick to hard. They finally settled in and pulled out a victory. Only way it could have been better is with a 5-2 victory. Going forward fix goaltending first and foremost. Then upgrade a couple of lower players and next season will truly be fun to watch. They definitely made big strides the last half of the season. Overall I'm a happy sabres fan looking forward to next season.

  8. I know this is a Skinner thread and he has definitely helped this team turn around. But I read some where yesterday that with the 37  goals TNT has scored this season he has scored more goals than Jack did in any one season as a sabre. I hope they don't separate them as line mates. They definitely feed off each other.

  9. I'm not going to be happy unless we get a true number one netminder. Bring up UPL to be the number two or whatever. But we don't need to mess around any more. We lacked 30 points from having a solid playoff position. Thats 15 wins short. Lack of good goaltending especially earlier in the season is a big part of that. It will be a disaster to miss the playoffs next year because of one position. Do not take a chance on a maybe or hope player. If we can pick up next year in play where we are now we will be there. Please fix goaltending.

    That would be a big mistake imo going into the off-season thinking we just need a goalie. Still need a solid RHD, Starting Goalie, upgrade over Hinostroza, are we re-signing Olofsson? I'd also hope they find an upgrade over Middelstadt. They need to spend 22M to get to the cap floor so some upgrades will be in order and much needed.

    Yes I agree we definitely need to tweak the lines a little. I was just pointing out the most glaring position that needs fixing. The point I was trying to make is we are doing a lot better in the goal scoring department this year compared to the last several years. I'm willing to give Mitts one more season. Dahlin just since the all star break finally got his game figured out. Mitts wasn't drafted till the year after Dahlin. Mitts makes some really good passes and comes up with the puck along the wall pretty well. He just needs to start scoring more.

  11. Another entertaining win. When they went down two goals early I wasn't worried (that's a good feeling for a change). We now have a legit team that can score goals across all our lines. Just fix the goaltending for next season please. Power is going to be great. I really believe that he will come into his own quicker than Dahlin did. Power made a couple of rookie mistakes but overall he is playing solid hockey in just his third game of his career.
