Granato's specialty is supposedly offense, yes? We've seen stunning regression nearly across the board in that department. Why are we keeping him again? They're totally punting this season by sticking with him. Why should anybody pay to go to a game? Why should we as fans give a ***** at this point?

Nice kill, lads.

5 on 3. Rad.

I don't know about that. We're not exactly making him work...most of the saves look routine.

Look gassed.

Like that the power play is actually generating chances.

Back on the power play. Let's do it again, boys.

Rat farts

TNT

Sabres power play.

We're chasing them this period so far. Don't like that...

Pavelski all alone in front of the net...

It seems like TNT misses the net with like 70% of his shots this year.

I'm usually lamenting their piss poor first period effort, so I'm actually somewhat encouraged despite the goal deficit. Need to be more deliberate with these scoring chances. Get some butts in front of Oettinger.

I don't think that's it. Defensemen often develop slowly, and I don't think he's getting the coaching he needs. He was really good for big chunks of last season, he's just regressed badly this year...like much of this team.

Rayzor looks like he's going to try to sell me a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero.

Power is a mess right now.

JFC, left Hintz all alone in front of the net. Fortunately UPL stones him.

Getting prime chances but these guys either fire buckshot or right into Oettinger.

Feels like we've possessed the puck for 90% of this period but nothing to show for it.

Solid energy/effort so far, we're getting goalied. Keep up the pressure.

BALLS

I don't dislike this team. I am wildly disappointed with the results thus far and think that lays more at the feet of the coach and gm than the team itself.

One dick kick after another this season. It's been a very rough 13 years, but I'd argue none worse than this relative expectations. I'm just ready for it to be over.

Love Lindy, but no thanks.
