I disagree. This team just got shutout again, that’s 2 in 3 games. The top 6 is the biggest problem. They are weak at center and the top 6 is young, soft, and flawed. I’ve been saying this all off season. If Thompson is your 1C then they don’t have a 2C. Cozens and Quinn are not top 6 forwards - they might have 2nd line “ceilings” but they are not there yet. Quinn does not deserve any ice time right now, he simply does not contribute. I don’t get why Tuch gets so much grief either. Tuch is a great 3rd line player on a very strong team, a 2nd line player on a good team. He does more than most. I want more minutes for guys like Tuch, McLeod, Zucker, Greenway, and Benson. I’m tired of seeing Quinn and Cozens get tossed around like children.

Fine. One week ago McLeod was helping fill the void with Thompson out, Zucker was contributing in multiple ways, Malenstyn was hitting everything in sight. We win 3 on the road, come home and get Thompson back and poof. Everything changed. The shots stopped going in and they are folding.

These Sabres forwards are losing minutes lately - Malenstyn, McLeod, and Zucker. Does this seem odd to anyone else? They brought them in for Lindy to add toughness, speed, and NHL experience. I don’t get what’s going on with the constant line changes either.

They looked like 6th graders playing 8th graders.

Very poor performance. A team below us just advanced.

Very telling. Benson playing to the end. No one else though. Terrible.

Dunleavy sucks. Add that to the list of grievances.

I heard Imlach is tired of Mahovlich, give him a call.

Nice PK by McLeod who is somehow the 4C in minutes

Who says Adam's is even in trouble? Just us. Who will Terry get? Another disaster? We really need Adams to succeed so Terry does less.

Worst excuse for a power play right now. Terrible.

Ray said to “stick to the game plan that they haven’t been able to get to yet”.

Palmeiri retaliated but there is no call. It was only Benson, he probably deserved it.

Figures. We get the penalty. lackluster effort by Power on the PK.

If Benson does that he gets a roughing penalty.

Was Ray told to pump up Quinn’s Rep?

I’m confused. Why are these linesmen looking at it. What about Toronto?

Warm up the PK

Ugh. Martin of all people.

Competing for the Cup as a serious threat is a big step up from just making the playoffs. I will be happy if they grab the WC rung and make the playoffs. If they exit in round 1 it’s ok, we see how to shape the team from there forward We need to be realistic, make the playoffs - step 1

Good evening Teammates, Another night of Hockey in Sabreland. Lots to learn about them tonight. MUSCLE WEIGHT

Way to represent tonight Rico and I hope you can bring us a W. Quinn, JJP, especially Cozens, and even Benson ... I am not leaving any of them out. They are top 6 on this team, Adams went with them in this pivotal season so they need to show up. Reimer is a big key also but it would be nice if we had an offensive explosion tonight and a comfortable win. Me and my Woodford Reserve will be watching.

We have the roster to compete with the middle band of teams that fight for the last few playoff slots. Until we get there and see growth in the Core from it, I don't think we will see hungry guys that are hoping to get a Cup willing to come here if they have options. Agree we need help but not the GM will take any risky moves. McLeod for Savoie surprised me.
