I'm not worried about Dahlin, like you said, he's 20. But to give him 20+ minutes a game while he's playing like this, NOT GOOD COACHING? Sorry, just had to twist the knife while it's in.........

Makes me love Skinner even more. A true professional imo.

Someone needs to speak to Terry and Kim. They should be aware this coaching staff isn't the droids they are looking for. And it better happen like right now if they want any chance of salvaging this shortened seasons chances for the playoffs. If they want Jack to stick around for that matter. It's that bad here in Buffalo. Go out and make the trade for PLD, size, grit, center, 22 yrs old, very moldable. You grab that if available, because they don't come along often. But it's abundantly clear the Capitals just came in to the Sabres house and stuffed a big FU, our points, in RK's face. Just horrible, and I mean truly gut wrenchingly horrible to see our team basically kicked in the balls 2 nights in a row. Ralph's on now, explaining away how we had them in every category except scoring. Well no ***** sherlock, it's your job to coach the players in to scoring positions, change strategies, make adjustments that find success in game. I have really never said anything about this coach or coaching staff, but they suck, and I'm being earnestly blunt.

If I'm Adams, I'm topping any offer by Montreal. PLD is a package Buffalo needs, Center, Size, Tenaciousness and Skill. You acquire players like this, especially at 22 yrs of age, under team control, a bit raw, but very moldable with the right coaching staff. Foolish not to grab this guy imo.

Good question. I look to the bench as well.

And there in lay a big problem for the Sabres, they aren't physical nor tough in any sense of the words. They lack heavily in puck possession and puck control, and it shows, that's toughness, that's physical play. As a matter of fact, I'm just going to keep saying it, the only player on this roster capable of sustained physical play is McCabe. I see no others. If the team continues without changes, goaltending, defense, size, toughness/physicality and coaching, I see another 3 to 7 spot draft pick and another reason for Eichel to say I'm not interested in sticking around.

I'm actually going to say it, 0-8 start, this team is coached that badly.

Yep. It's definitely culture, and culture starts with coaching at the ice level. The talent is here, strategy and deployment of the talent is seriously lacking. The old schtick of buying in to the system or some other quick one liner isn't going to cut it. You just let another division team come in to your house and waltz away with 4 points, on a very short runway, un-fracking-acceptable, and that starts with urgency from those that are guiding the on ice game play imo.

They need to show they can control play, control a game. They can't.

They literally, and I do mean literally, did nothing to fix anything. You can bring in all the talent you'd like, but it's definitely the team culture that is the problem here. They have heart, no grit, no size. Meet the new Buffalo Sabres, same as the old Sabres.

Nice, good things can happen when you throw it at the net.

I take it you caught that play where he could have pressured the Cap player deep in the O zone but turned away..... I caught that to

Oh snap, me oldest devil spawn just put Monty Python on.......... I love me pal gal, a Sabres fanatic like dear ole dad, but knows her go to post game film........

All of this goal scoring talent, and no goals........... I am holding out hope Lazar get's one and gets the team rolling.........

I'm sorry, but Thompson doesn't belong with Eichel and Hall. Stick Skinner on that RW.

What is up with Jack, is he hampered by a lingering injury maybe? He doesn't look his normal self.

I'm already looking at classes for essential oils, prep work is everything...........

Skinner definitely looking like he cares enough about being here.

I'm game for some team work, it only enhances the polish of the product

I would like to apply for the shipping job..........

I think so, he made the mistake of not passing to Jack in front on that rush, but he's driving play most definitely while out there. Trade for PLD and have him center Skins? I like it..........

Please put Skinner with Eichel, please.

Sam's back, that's great news. Now score in rage Sam!

Reinhart did not look good.

You have just given me my "scouts, SCOUTS!!!!" player of the season. I concur and thank you for seconding my motion to dismiss..............from the team as quickly as possible, post haste even. 😉
