  1. 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!

    The two goaltending performances are not sustainable. Not sure what you mean by different. 

    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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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! 

  5. 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!!!

  6. I have always like TT. I think expectations of him were too high and he was not ready when we first got him. He matured and took his lumps and he can possibly be a seriously good diamond in the rough after most thought he was going to be a career AHLer or maybe a 3rd line NHLer. His scoring touch has always been there and maybe moving him to center opened up for everything to really connect with him. A bit nervous about the extension after one good year but i believe we will see more of his last year performance and be happy with this contract in the end. Happy  he is going to be a Sabres for a long time.

  7. 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.  

  8. So far, i have zero problem with keeping these two together. They both seem to be on the same page and have something that the last couple of pairings did not have...... a plan to actually make the Sabres better from bottom to top. So far it seems to be working out well for us. Time will tell though, but zero problem with the improved product that we have all seen
