Unfortunately a bunch of Bruin fans for that game.... yuchhhh almost more annoying then Laff fans

Wish i back in the area.... would love to be going to those games. Will be happy when the fans start coming back!!! They are missing great games!! I am sure they will be there on Thursday though

Can we please get our defensemen back from the Bills disease!!! I would love to see a healthy blueline play against some of the top teams to see where we are at. Hard to gauge the team missing 1/2 the starters

This is going to be a hard game for the Sabres. Canes have an insane aggressive forecheck, and we all know the Sabres do not do well with that. Canes are also not a team to play tired on a back to back. Definitely a test for the boys in Blue. The beginning of a rough 5 games coming up. Would not be surprised if we ended it at .500 or ended it 10-5-0. Time to see what this team can do!!!

If they are rotating him in, then he is not ready to play

Some thoughts and observations of last night's game: - I know i am in the minority but i love the white on white. Looks almost too clean. Although i think the blue pants idea would look a tad better. Overall i love the reverse retro. - We really need our walking (Or not) wounded dmen back!!! Wayyyyy the hell too many odd man breaks. Pitt maybe old, but they have the skill to score more often then not on them. (Unlike us last night!) - Even though we are down 3 of 4 top dmen, our replacements definitely came to play!!! They throw the body and skate like demons!! Definitely helps this team! - goals, goals and more goals! Once this team smells blood they have been rolling teams!! When was the last time we had a team that would hem the other team in their own zone for minutes at an end???? 90's??? The more they do, the more confidence it gives them to do it again. Love that the most! - Comrie is definitely an upgrade to what we have had the last couple of years! He has been a bit snake bitten (I think Power has 2 goals against him) but he stays the course and make great saves when needed! He is much better then his numbers. - Still needs to figure out how to deal with the tight checking team. Always been a problem for this team, but seeing slight improvement as the year goes by. Also, was it me or did the Pens look a ton bigger then our team? But the positive is that our boys fight like hell along the boards, size or not! Love this team!!! I think they are playing a tad above their heads, but damn they are fun to watch and i never feel like they are out of the game. Once our defense gets healthy, it will be even better!!!

That had to have been the most dominant i have seen this team over the last couple of years. Even though Detroit had the size, Buffalo would just hem them in their own end for minutes at a time. Their goalie looked physically exhausted!!! LOL When he took that inference penalty, i knew he was done like dinner. All i can say is i would like some more of that play please!!!!

That's great they all acknowledge it, now let us try something new and actually do it. 😁 Or, lets find someone that we can pick up or trade for that makes his mark in front of the net. Hell, let us find one for every line while we are at it. Sorry, this story of no net presence is getting old. Can we bring back Andreychuk?

That's because we are back to "Scared to go in front of the net" Sabres. We have needed that for a long time.

Ok.... was going to post last night but decided to wait until my anger was diminished. Some thoughts and observations from the game: - Our PP is too predictable with zero creativity other then feed Goaloffson and Tage. That needs to change ASAP - As much as folks say it was just a puck luck game that we should have won...... not buying that. When the Habs penned the Sabres in, it was for long periods of time. They created their own puck luck!!! We would would get into their zone and be one and done. Yes, we had a ton of shots, but a lot of them their goalie could easily see and NOBODY parks in front of the net!!! - We looked small and undersized next to Montreal and did not win a lot of the board battles. - We suck at faceoffs when it counts - Same old Sabres: always panics when a heavy forecheck happens. - Team overall looked ungodly slow: Maybe lag from trip, but not the first game i have seen this. I know only a few games in and i will watch win or lose, but some things were changed from last year that were working well. Some smaller tweaks and we should be ok as the season progresses and the kids develop. On a side note, i love what i have seen from Comrie. Once we are back to normal on our Defense he will be awesome!

Just happy to have an early game!!! No west coast trip let down boys!!!!

Not going to get bent out of shape (Great album BTW) over the last game of a 4 game west coast trip. 3-1 is a very good way to finish that road trip! Missing 2 of the top 4 dmen does not help but a bit of adversity will help the team in the end. Pilut will be fine with some more playing time. The Sabres as a whole does not play well against tight checking teams so until they mature and figure it out, expect to see this when we play teams that do. Off to home and hopefully a decent packed house on Thursday!

This times 1000!!! The Sabres cannot afford to be so lax on defense and play 2/3 of the game running around in their own end. We are starting this season with some rough teams, hope they learn and figure it out and fix quickly. Just think of how much better the goaltenders would be facing 10 less high quality shots a game!

Love what he brings to this team. Can we have another please!? Hope he returns soon. Wish they would have brought up Pilut for his absence

Happy to see Hinny back in the lineup..... after watching the first 2 games, his speed is really needed.

After watching this game i came away a bit bummed that our team cannot handle a trap or heavy neutral zone pressure, but happy that they were fighting and trying to go toe to toe with the best team in the NHL. It is only game 2 and i am not going to make any judgements for now. Lots to adjust to and they all seem to be sticking up for each other. I do think they need Hinny's speed. For some reason, the team looks a bit slow.

Does GR still have the post game show? I did not see it on my Audacy app this morning

I have to say, watching the games a few thoughts came to mind: - Same old Sabres - Heavy pressure on them and they move quickly away from their game and start to panic. - After same old Sabres, the team figured it out and came back hard in the 2nd and pretty much dominated that period, That was something we did not see a lot of until recently with Granato. He pays attention to what is going on and makes adjustments in between periods. That is very refreshing! - All the D were pinching when they could. That definitely will wreck havoc as the team gels. - Ottawa is going to be good. Damn they are fast! At times it looked like we were in slow motion compared to them. Not going to pass any judgement on this team, but they have potential to be decent. I can see some lines being juggled after a couple of games, and that includes the PP. It was a fun game to watch and fun to watch the kids flying around the ice!

I thin this is going to be a good signing and a deal for years to come. Muel is a good defensive physical dman which this team needs. 4 Mil for a top 4 dman is not bad at all.

Totally Ok with a rotation and lets see if Comrie does good with a NHL team in front of him.

There is going to be a ton of flame spraying over this loss. But it is just that. We were not beaten, we lost this game and the stats show that. Other then about a dozen bone headed plays and mistakes, we did well with the limited roster we have. Not worried about Miami, they will still lose this division unless we lose another dozen to injury. The Bills goal should be simple. Make the playoffs and be healthy when they do. I do not want to hear about the heat.... they all knew what it was going to be like. They are professional athletes. They should have prepared better for that! Unless we keep piling the injuries, this team will be ok. On a final note, that temper tantrum in the box was embarrassing! Love the passion, but he has to know he is being watched and at least shut the damn camera off!!! They have a week until we play Baltimore. Get your ***** together and kill the crows!!!

I think it is Joe Benninati? I know i misspelled his last name. The Caps broadcast is crap and the only one worse is Boston

Still 3-2 good guys?

This whole situation is bad for everyone all around. Whether it is true or not there is someone that is or will be totally life changing. If they are guilty, then they deserve jail time, plain and simple. I totally get the Bills trying to get as much information as possible before making their decision. In this day and age of false accusations, they were in a no win situation as there was no way they were going to get a definitive that he was guilty or not guilty. That this is majorly being played by the victim's lawyer did not help either. (Who i still believe is a total Douche) Either way, this is beyond football and i hope there is healing and justice if this is true and also if untrue.
