If KA was the reason for the non Cozens trade, he is going to regret that decision. He needs to be out of here ASAP. A bag of pucks is good enough at this point.

With Kruger it was him. With the team now it is the whole team makeup. They are not built for a physical heavy forechecking game. They are more suited for badminton at this time and i would still worry about some of them getting hurt....

Ok, so this is weird..... i was watching the game and shut it off and fell asleep after the end of the 2nd. I dreamt that we lost 5-2. That also included the empty netter.... So the real bad news is that i dreamt the Bills lose and Mahomes gets beat in the SB. 😵

I get what everyone is saying. Do we really need another undersized non physical kid that they are going to draft??? I do not care how much tenacity they have. A 180 lb 5`9 forward will eventually get pushed around. I LOVE Benson, but he is a unicorn, not the norm. We need power forwards that can go to the front of the net and not play the perimeter and be easy off the puck. We need defenseman that will ride a forward into the boards when they try to enter our zone, not stick check. I get that there are always exceptions, but thats this teams problems. We have a team of stick checkers and wimps in a physical sport.

Sounds like our 1st rounder could be better used to trade for a need then.

Uhhhhhhh no. We still do not have a defensive spine, and Cozens is still here.

I did not watch the whole game. (Not staying up to 1 AM for a non playoff bottom of the league team!) I did watch the 1st period and i was actually impressed the way they came out and played the 1st. They actually looked decent. Some thoughts and observations: UPL - he is a starter. I have always liked his game. He was playing hurt and banged up, which should never ever happen. A goalie should always be 100% to play. He looked comfortable from what i saw. If he was hurting, he should have sat earlier and let Reimer play. Defense - We need to trade one of our puck moving defenseman for a physical defensive defenseman. This a huge must do!! I thought Muel would be that guy, but he is a bottom pair dman. Cozens needs to go. He is the piece i would use to get a Middle 6 center that crashes the net and is physical and can forecheck. I do not give a flying monkeys ass on what else you need to give up to make this happen but it is a must. We DO have most of the pieces needed to do well. I see it. But some serious tweaks need to be made. So throw a real GM in there as well. Adams honestly has no clue.

We do not have any player with the kahunas to do something like that. Can you get suspended for an aggressive stick check??? LOL

This is just 1 of about 50 things this team is bad at. Just a drop in the bucket for the despair of this team.

This team has zero clue. They deserve the ***** outcomes as this is the team they built. 2 year olds are more aggressive than our team. You notice that everytime we tried to get into the offensive zone our player with the puck was getting hit and followed??? When they come to our zone we run from contact and seem to have no idea where they should be. Either the coaching and system sucks or the players we thought were going to take us to the promise land are inept.

I hate to say this but i have zero faith in anyone in the Sabres organization to be able to correct this team. Even if they cleaned house i would not trust them to hire the right people to fix our problems. I am almost happy for the west coast late games so i wont torture myself watching their pathetic wimpy uninspired hockey. Please sell this team to someone that actually knows hockey and wants to freaking win. I have a closet full of Sabres gear that i am actually embarrassed to wear! I hate being a Sabres fan.

A part of a problem with many wrong parts. This team needs a blowup

That's because this team never changes.

They can trade the whole damn team for all i care.... they are trash

10 years NHL experience does not a leader make. LOL 7 even.....

Not really fully Dahlins fault. He should not have been made captain. Not enough experience. He tries, but try is not enough anymore with this team.

Not even gummies work anymore. LOL Just honestly will watch as always until we blow it and move on to something else. Laundry, wash the floor, shovel snow, anything! LOL As much as i want to see this team win, they are just not built for that. Will enjoy the few games they will dominate and tease before they go back to their normal disappointing embarrassing play.

But true

I think they missed that memo....

Does it really matter at this point??? WHat are we playing for?

Ok, he is embarrassed. We have been that way for 13 years!!!!

I do agree we need to give to get. Just my quick thoughts..... Cozens and Byram (Or Power) for a vet center (#1 or 2) and a top 4 DEFENSIVE PHYSICAL defenseman. That should be attainable with maybe a pick or lower prospect thrown in. Will it happen? Nope. Zero faith in KA.

This is one of the best forechecking games i have seen the Sabres play in many years! Sens got a lot of shots but UPL was able to see them all clearly with no rebounds. The team as a whole had each others backs and were hard on the puck all night! More please!

Only thing Sabres fans have to look forward too. Sad

We are not far enough out of the playoff race that the GM should not be trying to improve this team. Status quo is a fail.
