Believer

Look at the Shot Patterns… Sabres nowhere near the net… Panthers all around the net… Amazing the team fails to forecheck after swarming the O-zone last game… Think the Panthers intimidated us early with their physical game… Hits are lopsided…

Comrie got some help…

Damn… Another opponent with the first goal…

Good action…

UPL lower body injury.

Fine by me.

Agree… We had a strong second half last year… and have to think our players were full of confidence coming into this season… Unfortunately, Adams and Granato used the last few weeks of the preseason to extend training camp tryouts for prospects… instead of sending out our first team regulars to establish the new defense and winning games for a fast start to the season… All on Adams, imo… What are the chances he doesn’t make the same bonehead move next preseason?

Takes years to develop a legit NHL goalie… Sabres made the investment in UPL… We are at the beginning of the payoff stage… Not even Adams can be so stupid as to let UPL walk… Pay the boy… He’s a keeper.

Agree… You cant train or gain aggression with experience… It is a personality trait… No evidence Power possesses it…

Greenway on point Postgame interview… He should do more.

Granato kept Skinner to modest minutes… Message sent.

A lot better crowd response tonight… Didn’t hear any boo birds… Lots of Luuuuuks

UPL… Awesome… So happy for him…

Power should have been benched for a few games a couple times this season… He gets big minutes so Adams can rationalize his contract in terms of Cost Per Minute… Laughable.

Greenway… Boom… Boys were buzzin’

Tells you something…

Tuch… Boom.

UPL… UPL is playing Alpha-like lately… Body language full of confidence…

Benson… Boom… At the net…

This group has a beer league identity… Easy does it… Unless someone or something motivates them to play hard… It is dysfunctional..

Dahlin… Laser…

He has 2 hits… Needs a few shots and a goal…

Just tuned in to see Cozens PP goal… 3-0 1st period lead??… Awesome… Makes you wonder why our guys didn’t play like this more often… Lost another season… Mind boggling.

A Sabre fan might wonder why this rebarbative team doesn’t get more attention from its owner, Terry the Terrible.

Both loyal Sabres and hardworking players on the wrong side of 30, neither of whom has won a Cup… and in the case of Girgensons, has yet to experience the playoffs… Both play a gritty 200 ft game… One or both packaged with prospects or traded separately should have value to Cup contenders… Let Pegula and KA show fans the Sabres are committed to improving the product this season… before the trade deadline and the offseason…
