signing a punk like Phil Kessel just might push me over the edge as a fan.

Yes is playing better and is more useful right now than all of the players that you listed. Only the Sabres .... (shakes head and looks down).

Good post. It will sting to send Benson down because he is one of our better forwards this season - and that says a lot about the roster that Adams has constructed during the off season.

See bold. Where do you get this from? They look at every shift on an iPad. That is to see what the opponent is doing and then adjust. That is correcting on the spot, you can point it out all day long but the player has to execute. Last night they kept attacking to try to score the 4th goal, they just didn't do it. DG is not a perfect coach but look at the roster, for every up and coming player there is either a boat anchor or a kid making rookie mistakes. If you feel they need more veterans you should be talking about Adams, not the coach.

Please. We will never know if UPL gets a shutout or if he stinks it up and gives up 5. Same with Comrie. Why bother discussing it? The loss is a team loss. The effort was there for most the game, but not enough of it. We still are not going to the net enough. Benson does it, why won’t more of our forwards get dirty? I thought Girgs played well, especially when paired with Benson and Mitts. Yet, he missed his man on a goal. I thought Levi played ok. Some big saves, and then some mistakes, like with 4 seconds left in OT. We outplayed them but they hung around and took advantage of our youth and our propensity to blow up under pressure. As for Levi? Are we going to develop him in the NHL and take our lumps watching him play every 5 or 6 days? Or, can we send him to Rochester and he can play almost every game, get better, build confidence and come back later. Same with Krebs. If he truly is waiver exempt then send him down to find his game. Tage and Mitts needed it. It’s not a big deal except we are seeing how thin we really are at center with Tage out. Adam’s has to find help at forward, especially at center. We can’t rotate 11. Winning teams run 4 lines.

Sounds more like it. I am not giving up hope. I think they can be a team to hit their groove and take off. We need Tage back asap, and hopefully Quinn can really contribute by the end of Jan. That will enable us populate 3 good lines, with the 4th being filler, but is forces 2 low performers out. The biggest question is will UPL and Comrie hold up? Damm Adams , he just didn't leave much margin for error.

I thought the OT was close but we didn’t shoot enough. We don’t shoot enough period. I thought we outplayed them for most of the game too. Levi was good and Levi was bad. He needs to play more - in Rochester. It will help him immensely. I don’t know if they outcoached us either. They out vetted us. There are still a lot of old Cup winners there and they pulled it out.

Ok. But I think they might. I think I’ll keep watching to see what’s up in January. Then I’ll keep watching to the end.

They played well tonight. They will start winning the close ones.

Cozens was out of gas, as they all were. They used it all trying to score. Hence a 2 on 1 and Levi blew it. Power correctly took away the pass. Levi incorrectly did not play the shooter and was out of position and late. A rookie in the NHL.

Wow. Goalie gets the shooter Levi

Hard to believe Cozens starts In OT

No time to sulk. Win in OT. Get 2

Let’s get one on regulation.

scumbag Wilson

EJ is really smart out there

OMG

Wow. Lots of action. Sabres playing some good hockey.

Ovechkin is still such a load to handle. Caps are diving. Looking to draw one. We need to get our insurance goal now.

Benson really plays like he is unfazed by the NHL. He really gets involved.

I don’t say that. Granato is safe for now. It’s way too early change. You really want Matty Ellis as interim? Thats not what we want. This team is just starting to catch on. They are playing good tonight.

Ok. 3-2 lead. Let’s see them dig deep and play a strong road period. Win the 3rd and win the game. Sabres have played well.

Too many men. Could it be the line shuffling???? 11 forwards????

Cozey. Nice. now get another.

Skinner sells another one.
