Nice change we get a goal in the last minutes of a period. Focus!

Boom. JJ

PP. Now. Get the monkey off your back.

UPL makes the save. No help from Sabres standing around.

Damn.

Boom!

NHL Center Ice sync’s.

Boom! Tage

Not the right personality. Demonstrated this in his several haymaker overreaction after evening up the score with his hip check on Krebs. There isn’t a natural leader on the roster which is an indictment on management and the scouting staff. All those top draft choices all these years. Case in point, the post game interviews with Dahlin and Tuch tonight. Dahlin is a great player but clueless communicator who doesn’t inspire. Tuch is good player and articulate analyst who doesn’t inspire. Adams could have done better rotating the C every five games until he either found a player on the roster the team responded to or he came to realize he needed to sign a big time inspirational leader. He let Reinhart get away. Granted, Reinhart didn’t want to be part of another rebuild, but Adams could have resigned him with a long term deal. Money solves problems. Even Ruff’s post game demeanor and remarks were tired and lacked any positivity. Long season ahead if nothing changes soon.

Boom

Come on, Adams. Tell ‘em no plane back home tonight. We’re taking a bus.

Sabres remind me of functional alcoholics on the road to an early demise. Nothing will change until enough of them get sick and tired of feeling sick and tired about losing. May take awhile.

Boom.

Boom. Great decisión starting him tonight.

Power nowhere near the net.

Boom.

God Almighty, Tuch

There’s not one guy on the roster who inspires the team when inspiration is needed. On the ice, on the bench, or in the locker room Not one. Prove me wrong, Sabres. Show up.

They’ve got Levi’s number from the left circle.

Damn

Good kill. How about some offense, men.

Stay a little closer to home, Levi.

Damn

The team play reflects its Captain, imo. Too many are playing without poise and confidence like Dahlin. His frustration at practice the other day had less to do with Krebs and more to do with our miserable start to a season with big expectations. Trying too hard. Need to relax. Get focused. Stay focused. Eyes on the prize. Finish. Too many drop passes. Too many extra passes. Shoot the puck on goal. Attack the net. Surround the crease. Score a couple PP goals. Start tomorrow. Get the win.

Brawndo called it.
