They killed the PP. So you have to give the coaching some credit there if you're also going to blame them for Dahlin blowing a tire, Tage being dumb, and Lyon not making a timely save.

You'd also like a save in that situation. Nice shot, but from that distance and angle, you need to make that save.

Not an ideal play from the Captain. That's a handful of boners from the last few games, concerning.

Well they battled back and got at least a point on the toad with a shaky Lyon in net It's a good step for them, win or lose.... they wouldn't have forced OT last season

Another bad penalty by him. Can't take those penalties as Captain.

I'm enjoying the fact that they're competitive. They've been in every game. They've had better starts at home, and their home record is much better since Jan 1st. PK is 1st in the league and the PP doesn't stink. Lyon is playing well in goal. Taking steps in the right direction, the points will come if they continue to focus on the details. I wouldn't say "they're for real" yet, but I'm encouraged.

At this point, Lyon is your starter. Alternate Ellis and UPL as the backup. Let UPL work his way back in, give him a start here and there over the next few weeks, or until Lyon falters. Keep all 3 on the roster for now.

Ellis was unable to go tonight with a stiff back. UPL was the next option.

If you trade Power, you might as well begin the tear down.... Dahlin, Byram, Thompson, Tuch, Benson.... all on the table. Fire everybody and start over with competent management who can build a roster correctly. It sucks, but this team is nowhere near challenging for a playoff spot, nor is there a clear path to do so. This team is a joke. At their best they rely on all-world goaltending to keep them in games. At their worst, they're not even competitive at the NHL level. The fact they're a cap team with < $1m is space absolutely astounding.

McKenna

this might be the worst Sabres team in recent memory

McLeod

true. any moniker they come up with is going to suck if the team is bad.

who's starting.... Lyon? backup is who?

Who?

staaaarting..... NOW

nobody on this team cares about winning when the games don't count 38 year old Crosby tho, in his 21st season, doesn't matter to him, he just wants to win anytime anywhere that's the difference

team still sucks, I'm out

this team is legit, I'm back in

Is Byram more physical than Power? Bryson? Johnson?

Bynam is hurt?

This team is so bad. There's nothing there to suggest they'll be anywhere close to average this season.
