Fire the GM due to another slow start following another off season where he didn't do enough? I like it. I think TP likes Adams too much for that to happen though.

One outlier season was not a road to a 30 goal scorer. Adyms really jumped the gun on that signing and he also blew the Mitts trade. Both moves were the opposite of what a normal GM does. It is over and it happened. Now all they can do is put Cozens in a position to be his best at this point in his career, which is a 3rd line player. He should not be a 2C right now. Tonight: 1. I would try McCleod at 2C, find a way to give him more minutes at the expense of Cozens. Cozens plays about 19-20 min, McLeod plays 15. Change that. 2. I just might play Kulich tonight and sit Quinn. Hard to say since I don't see and hear all the details. Kulich could be due to score a few. Quinn needs to look at the game from above for a night or two and figure it out. It will help him to stop pressing and just let it flow. Beyond tonight: 1. UPL should rest tonight and not play a B2B, especially since Levi looks sharp. But if we want UPL to return to form they need to let him play a few in a row and see if that gets him going. He is a goalie that needs work to be his best. 2. Move Cozens to the 3rd line for awhile, he should not get all the minutes he is getting. 3. Getting Dahlin back to 100% is critical. Something is missing in his offensive game.

No it isn't. You are way to negative after 5 games, and you are not alone. There are already people bailing on the season. You can't change 13 years of disfunction in a few months. They looked pretty good at times. They got a road point. Sure, they blew 2 leads on the road and that sucks. The biggest problem I see is that they are not good enough up the middle, and I knew that before the season started, so did a lot of us. They are a work in progress and the coaching staff has their work cut out for them. The game last night was made much more painful by the uneven and biased broadcast and officiating. You knew Pittsburgh would get a PP in OT, they got all the calls, they had 6 power plays (to our 1), and they won the review on the offside. Lets see how this road trip shakes out.

There are vets in there. Young team sure, but they have some experience too.

Buffalo still has a real fan base. That cannot be disputed. It sure seem like a scripted Penguinfest.

Thank you Kevin Adyms.

Still too early for this. I see some possibilities.

I thought they played good, and bad. They got a point, it should have been two. Next game. Beat CBJ and CBH and things look better in the standings.

That was too easy.

A real fan will buy tickets and go. Come on Joe Schmoe, you can do it.

He has played quite well actually. Is this your first game of the season?

It has to be Crosby. It’s a Hollywood script for TNT to give us a Milestone Night. Perfectly Scripted. Hey we get a loser point.

Of course Buffalo penalty. Right on script.

Blaming UPL when Power fu@ked up is crazy.

You could see that coming. Power played that with no Power

This TNT crew has made this game feel like I’m listening to the Pittsburgh feed.

Great guy. But as a player he isn’t going to see the ice on a PK against a team like Pittsburgh.

I want to spoil their party. The Sabres need to dig deeper.

Another Pittsburgh Hall of Famer, another milestone.

Cozens great play. UPL amazing save.

Every team has. Many times.

This is crazy. Sabres not protecting UPL. Clear Rust away, immediately.

Perspective. I thought Pittsburgh interfered with Lafferty. That guy got pummeled. These announcers are pro Penguins and not hiding it.
