Yikes… UPL needs work on rebound control…

Let’s finish strong… Send ‘em home empty and dazed

Group hug

Inkman is in a foul mood tonight…

Victor has become the board punching bag… Dahlin hasn’t played well, Thompson hasn’t played well…

Good period…

What a chance by Dahlin… How did that not go in??

Yeah, maybe… but the Sabres are outplaying the Rangers this period…

Quinn paused too long…

Damn…

When he came out of the LR he avoided the line of fans… He looked like a man on a mission.. Leadership determination…

Keep working… Keep shooting…

Boom… Skinner

JJ has wheels…

Geez Stillman… Shoot the puck

Set the tone early!… Hard hits, crisp passing, and plenty of shots

Hear!…Hear!… No reason they can’t… Got the speed… Got the skills… The rest is all in their head… Just do it…

Guessing most on the board saw this yesterday https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/ Thought Olofsson was sober and circumspect about his recent play and the play of the team… Good interview…

Wasn’t suggesting public floggings, and certainly not of individuals … Am suggesting when the team plays with little or no effort, DG needs to express disapproval vs dismay in his public comments… Think Cooper does a good job managing approval and disapproval… Let’s call it a DG developmental task.

Agree with your comment… Granato has not demonstrated an ability to manage expectations and consequences that I can see… He has the praise and patience part down… The players love him… Haven’t seen or heard the discipline and tough love applied much… It’s his first NHL HC opportunity, so he needs to grow with the team… I’m confident he understands this… Yet, DG likes to project a self assurance that seems to lack self awareness of the given reality of Buffalo fans… He needs to show fans it pains him as much as it pains us when we lose… Would give him two gritty veteran D, a solid veteran goaltender, and just two more seasons to produce a SC contender with this talented core…

Time to stop putting unrealistic hopes on the kid, I think… Sign him, give him a handful of NHL games, let him spend some time in Rochester acclimating to the pace and demands of professional hockey… Let KA find a goaltender to join UPL if it’s not Comrie…

Will take a miracle run after tonight… Rooting for it… Would be betting against it… Smartly, not a gambler…

It was the second period… Lot of game left…

We missed Dahlin for several and Tuch for all 10… Too big without these leaders…

And he needs to do it… A winning goaltender and a couple big, tough D Men with solid playoff experience… No excuses…
