everything that is wrong with our beloved Sabres...

The video is good, and this is a topic that has a lot of answers, but it can be summed up pretty easily.

 

-Goaltending is average at best.

 

-Contributions from the blue line are awful

 

-Team is SLOW, and it shows in 5 on 5 play.   Since the start of last year, there are almost 100 players (98) in the NHL that have at least 20 goals at even strength. The sabres have 2 of them, (soon to be one if Kane is traded).  Yep, Eichel BARELY is above the 20 goal line even strength (he has 22) and without Kane, NO-ONE else over 20.  Not Okposo (16), not O'Reilly(14), not Reinhart(11).  They rely in the PP to score goals.  No wonder this team has no transition game.  Total over the last 2 years, the Sabres have 168 Even strength goals, the only team worse is Colorado, with 167.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
