Just win tonight boys. Go Sabres!

1 for 7 on the PP with 5 of those PP's being a full 2 minutes. The lack of adjustment to Anaheims high pressure PK is a bit concerning, but there are larger problems being exposed 7 games in. For example, the 3rd line is non existent and physical game lacks a bit. Physical game and poor passing we can expect from time to time, especially game 1 of the West Coast road trip, but that lack of anything from the third line game after game is more than just disconcerting now. Plus, right handed shots, they lack them up amd down the organization, Vesey slung one to the net in the 2nd and the rebound was missed by Mitts, had there been a eighty there I think that's a goal. A clunker, every team has'em, respond to it and move along.

Just a bad game with old habits creeping back in. We really do need to do something about that Mitts, Vesey and Rodriguez line. It is just a non factor. An entire line basically non existent most games.

WTF is that crap?

Exactly

still unable to handle the high pressure pk. and the passing and puck control isn't helping.

I also agree with this. The problem I see is the Sabres don't have a lot of guys up front that can go body to body with Anaheim. Not for nothing, but a guy like Ferland comes in handy in a game like this. Girgs has the body size, but doesn't engage.

Concur. They are pressuring to not allow the set up. Which is baffling because Eichel and Dahlin have the ability to dance around those guys when they come in to pressure and instead look like they panick a bit.

Every team has a bad game. We are no exception. We're early in to a long season, obviously the Mitts line is a shambles. They don't contribute and are actually a defensive liability. That will have to be addressed.But the hit 99n Olofsson, and the jump on Sobotka, yea, we lack an enforcer or 2 for sure.

E rod on defensive coverage, horrible. They are getting schooled on size and effort right now.

That was just horrible. I mean everyone standing there while the wingers play tic tac toe passing for the goal.

Sabres making to many mistakes. Passes, playing off the body to far and turnovers. They need to clean it up.

Buffalo allowing way to much body space between the Ducks.

GOALOFSSON!!!

EICHEL!!!

Mitts especially needs to start rolling with more consistency. It's early seadon yet, but already I'm a bit concerned at his lack of production.

I agree with this. 2.5 x 2 or 2 x 3 maybe?

Am I being JBotts context catfished, your catfishing me, that's it, right? ?

When you have the GM saying Jokiharju and Olofsson should get a house, that doesn't sound like he agrees with you.

He's a steal for 2.9 seasons if he's traded in the next 7 days.

Looking over the Capfriendly Buffalo page. Man, we are flush with NHL caliber D men, but then, this has been discussed at length. What I am looking at is the winger situation. We are flush with left handed shots, and our prospect pool in the AHL is filled with 18 to 21 yr old C/LW's. The Sabres need RW'ers, at every level, no?

Waiting until next off season? Or is there a chance we re-sign Scandella?

So how long in Rochester? 10 games? More?

Apparently it wasn't Columbus day in Boston, it was Pastrnak Day, he netted all 4 Boston goals.

Solid Win Boys!!! Now Go West Young Men...…………..
