Another strange take here on sabrespace. A bad performance by UPL could cause a loss when the rest of the team played hard and deserved a chance to win. Make up your mind. Be a fan or not. Watch them or don’t.

It was a good clean hit. He had several. Are you looking to blame him ? Dahlin was not the problem. He is one of the few with any edge to his game. We need traffic in front of the net and more people moving on the PP. We need dirty goals.

You didn’t watch and you’re blaming Comrie? Why? The Sabres outplayed and outshot the Habs. They dominated for long periods. But they did not finish. Despite all the shots, they had very few high danger scoring chances. They are still playing way to cute. Too many shots were passed up looking for a perfect play. Comrie was not the problem.

Lots of Poles in Buffalo. Very unique to see Polish restaurants and cooking. My wife is half Polish and makes a few of the traditional dishes.

McD will survive but Dorsey won’t. Granato, it depends on how the season goes. There has to be more progress in the W/L column

Not so sure. He may prefer vets but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like young players. Gallant is known as a players coach. His player work hard for him, until they don’t. Either way, it’s way too early to make a coaching change.

Home loss, division loss, a lost to a team that is supposed to be below us. We dominated for much of the game but as EJ said, we have to take the play thats there, we didn’t do that tonight. Too fancy and no follow up after the shot.

Ok, execute the Matt Ellis of game plans.

Well their PP got it done.

Sounds like a fourth line.

Tuch playing hard but nothing is happening for him. Even this penalty is just bad luck.

They are getting great goaltending. True. We had great looks and no shot far too many times I might add.

Ugh. They get an ugly one. We are over passing. Time to stop and get 2.

Rob Ray should be saying the have to take the play that’s there. That means shoot the puck.

We are so much better than Montreal. Sabres need to keep knocking on Allen’s door.

We could erupt at any time.

We threw a ton of rubber at Allen on that PP.

Tage, we pay you to shoot on that PP. Sick guy. Buffalo Bill.

Spooner, way to “check in”.

Excellent. I had to call Spectrum and all I had to do was reboot the box. The tech is in Buffalo and is a Sabres fan. I was on the line with him when Skinner scored. We got this. Go Sabres !!! MUSCLE WEIGHT

Good evening Teammates, Punch checking in. looks like I took nhl network off my cable in a cost cutting move. It says “channel should be available shortly”

So you meant WHL then?

Why are we talking about waiving and trading UPL right now? We still don't know what we have. When you have 3 goalies you don't have a goalie. Pre-season was not enough to sort it all out. In our case we have a rookie in the mix. A real NHL rookie goalie, how many of them step in and do great with no other professional experience? I suspect we will rotate the 3, with Levi getting the majority of the work unless someone else is playing better. Comrie should play again tonight. I would go back to Levi in Ottawa because the game is very important, but if he is hurt then you go with UPL or Comrie. It will take some time to sort this out. UPL will get his chances and when he does he was to earn his next start, they all do. So we get to do this 3 goalie thing and work tirelessly to improve our team defense (an absolute must), and still score enough to be in playoff contention. This is going to be a great hockey season.

You don't believe this do you? Sabres will win it 6-3 and our fans will be happy. Here is a picture of Montreal's top prospect, Pierre LaPuck, working on his breakaways.

First of all the AHL is not lower competition for Savoie, lets see him compete down there and earn a callup. I thought you wanted trades to bring in vets to help us make the playoffs? Now you want to sink or swim with two under 20 rookies? Which one is it?
