Night Train

From the initial post YES

Dallas draws first blood again. Outscored Colorado 7-0 in the first period this series.

The Power Play sank into quicksand. That and the inability to win enough key faceoffs. There's your goal shortage.

Something was missing. Success.. Now Adams is basically forced to do something with this roster. No player or prospect should be off limits for movement to improve this lineup. Many of our top guys had down years after they got paid. PP stunk. Faceoff % not good. Easily intimidated by the opposition. Soft and floating many games. A lot is being dumped on Lindy but he needs some players in order to change things.

Lots of physical play . Current Sabres watching are horrified.

Reason I think RB will have more touches.. This guy. Beane already talked about how much he likes him. He was my favorite RB coming out.

How many Prospects actually have a shot to make the team over the next couple of years ? Asking. With the Lindy hire, wouldn't we expect more veteran additions and using prospects in trades ? Who is actually untouchable ?

Who's the Buffalo Jr. Sabres coach ?

One thing that hasn't been discussed. With Cook and Davis, the play calling will see more touches for the RB's. Run and catch.. OC Brady showed that late last year. I hope that means Allen sees less carries and exposing himself to bad hits. So I believe this so-called concern at WR is a bit overblown. Throw in Kincaid getting far more opportunities late last year as a rookie.

A lot of WR's going to camp. Many will be cut. At least it will be interesting. He's no lock if he drops balls. Was better in the 2nd half of the year. We'll see.

He could fight Hasek in an Octagon outside the arena before the opener . Good idea.

Corrected

Whatever. Sabres need a change in players to chart a new course. AKA..winning enough games to make the post-season.

In addition to 3-4 more players with grit. Leadership is horribly lacking.

McDavid-Draisaitl Edmonton era seems to only go so far. Up against the wall again.

Excellent.... Although your thread will get 10x the responses once they start losing. 😉

I'd like the Sabres to get 3-4 orders of Sam Bennett..

He'll be overshadowed by Lindy here . 😃

Will have mostly 5-8, 5-9 Swedes that need room to skate and abhor physical play. Ex-Sabres will be everywhere.

P/K Browning is a very interesting UDFA signing. Booming leg on punts. Hit a 61 yard FG. Signed back Haack since Bass was better with him holding kicks. Martin may be a cap cut. Browning the sleeper. We'll see. Glad they signed Frank Gore Jr. for RB. Why not ? Nothing to lose. Let camp sort it out.

Is Matt Ellis coaching the Carolina PP ?

Let's propose the standard Sabrespace trade terms. Matthews for Krebs, Rosen and rights to a Russian player currently missing in wartime.

I was at his last games Bills HC, a 48-6 loss to the Raiders. Bills won 1 game that year (1968). In all fairness, the roster was shot and injured beyond repair. Not his fault. He actually started the 3-4 look with the Bills. That's how they won the 1965 Championship game 23-0 over the Chargers. Dropped 8 into coverage and rushed 3.

Ruffs bowling buddy. Do you have news or wishing upon a star ?

A 5-9 player from Sweden. Of course !
