Maybe it’s just a matter of the player’s style fitting better with this coach than the last?

Greenway was the best player on the ice Dahlin must still be hurt Sabres power play = Blutarski’s GPA Liked how they played the 3rd with the lead. If excuses aren’t accepted for losses then they shouldn’t be offered for wins

I thought I just saw that Igor rejected $88M from the Rags (8 years I would assume). Wow!

I will as well @Night Train. And will continue to do so regardless. Fandom is like some sort of strange addiction. It was a tough weekend for fans of Buffalo sports, that’s for sure.

Very much this. NJ was a 112 point team two years ago. They've since added a few very good pieces and their excellent young core is ... dare I say ... developing quite well. I'd go as far to say they are a President's Cup and Stanley Cup contender. Last year was an aberration. I frankly didn't expect they would win any of the two games in Prague but was very disappointed they didn't play better than they did. Many of the problems that plagued this team last season have carried over and that's troubling. Let's see how they look in another 8 - 10 games. The possible range of outcomes can be big. I'll set my expectations at that point.

I seem to remember doing that a few years ago too. 😂😢

It was all risk and near zero reward. For example, why risk taking a holding penalty in the end zone? Safety. Game over.

It’s about field position at that point. Run the ball 3 times and gain 5 yards it makes a big difference on the other end. It’s all speculation at this point but the logic behind the play calling was totally wrong.

Play calling on that last possession was criminally bad. I would say laughable but I spent those entire 16 or so seconds swearing at the television. Unbelievable.

Totally agree with your first point @SwampD. Nobody can get open for Josh, who is struggling in his own right. Good chance he goes into desperate ‘hero ball’ mode and this game gets especially ugly.

PP zone entries…. or lack thereof.

Was that the ‘Luukkonen Crew’ (complete with buffalo hats) with the ‘Let’s Go Buffalo’ chant?

You need to select the 3- month payment plan to get NHL Network included. They won’t charge you until the trial elapses so it really doesn’t matter …. unless you forget to cancel.

That has been the case in years past. Perhaps being the International Series changes that - but I doubt it. I just signed up for a 7-day Fubo TV trial just to watch these two games.

If the Sabres start to play like a playoff team and are fun to watch, could more games be moved to NHL Network during the season? That would suck.

What the hell is happening here? 😀

Thanks. But it’s not started on Hulu either. Must be a problem with the feed from Pittsburgh if it’s not live streaming on Sabres.com either.

7pm start? ESPN+ is showing ‘Your event is starting soon’.

Joe Brady is putting on a play calling clinic.

If Benson goes to the 3rd line with McLeod and Greenway how much scoring can we expect from that line?

Read that article this morning. It was fantastic. Articles like that are the biggest reason I keep my subscription. There are hundreds of places to see the X's and O's dissected but to learn about these guys and their backgrounds is eye-opening. I just have mad respect for guys like Benford who can lift themselves out of sometimes unimaginable circumstances and not only survive - but succeed.

Isn’t his birthday August 7? (Hence his desired number).

Same AAV since '08-'09. Incredible. Perhaps if he leveraged the Pens into subsequent true market-value contracts he might only have one Cup to his name. He's done well.
