They couldn't even be in their seats to start the game. The damn arena was half-empty during the player introductions. Already seeing people on here turning on the team again... more of the same. My daughter is at this game, and she is booing. She sucks? you...…...she's a Niagara U player, she expects better, much better, and ya know what...…………………………..she's right! They look like hammered dog , period, end of conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Wasn't it the PK coach that they changed or something? I didn't like how they were positioning themselves out there. That'll be interesting to watch going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The onus falls to them to provide a product or service that satisfies the consumer. Can't blame the consumer for being skeptical. I understand what you are saying. But if your expectations for this team were so damn high that you were going to boo them after the first period then why wasn't your ass in the seat before the start of the game? That's the problem. Whatever anymore.... people are gonna be the negative pussheads they want to be. I'm going to have to refocus on tuning it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruppstahl Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Not the period I was hoping for...and just boring hockey to boot. Not a lot of physicality, not much in the way of scoring chances... I'm watching as always on NHL Center Ice in low definition and I am literally getting a little nauseous when the camera pans quickly; the image goes all pixelated and comes out of focus and it's giving me a headache.

erickompositör72 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 They just need to start shooting the puck in the o-zone. Only make the pass if it looks like a sure thing, too early to be getting too cute The PK goal looked like they were playing the neutral zone as if it was even strength, and then they got burned when the Bruins took it into our zone. Not very good situational awareness for the entire PK line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 I realize it's just part of being a sports fan to get excited before each season, but this team still lacks talent. We have some good young players, but most of our off-season pickups were castoffs and non-difference makers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so it's not just me! I posted earlier that everything looked blurry on my feed. You're right, the CenterIce feed is garbage. I checked out the Bruins feed, but it is the same.

The Sabres could just play better and the problem would solve itself. Am I supposed to only say nice things? Or am I allowed to be frustrated that Jack, for all his talent, is right back to making the same dumb plays? No.. just don't say anything. Accept the reality. It's the first period for the team. As if everything would change overnight and they'd be a 100pt team. No, they struggled a bit and the Bruins put two in the net and now it's the end of the world? That's the problem.

How do you want me to answer that? The fans booing the team suck, if your daughter is booing the team, then yes, for that purpose, she sucks. I don't know what her enrollment at NU has to do with anything. I played college level sports too. I coach hockey and baseball. I expect more, but I'm not a disillusioned turd blossom that goes around booing everything after 20 minutes of play. The fans have a right to boo. They suck for it. I'm not some blind sycophant of the Buffalo Sabres, I'm just a realist who expected this team to improve over last year. But 20 minutes in they could have played better, but I'm not going to boo them for it. Jesus. People acting like the damn President tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyhound Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Dam right we're booing, this shi* has to stop. We will praise you when you deserve it, and boo you when you're playin like a bunch of AHL losers. 4 minutes ago, Scottysabres said: My daughter is at this game, and she is booing.

These are professionals, if they can't handle a little criticism from the fans then maybe this isn't game for them. I don't believe there is a more loyal fan base in the NHL than the Sabres Nation, we love our team and we love our hockey. So put the big boy boots on and cowboy the F up.

The talent this team has comes courtesy of sucking so badly for the past decade (Jack, Dahlin, Reinhardt, Casey)… otherwise this is a weak roster. It just is. I'll disagree with everyone around here who says our off-season additions make us better (other than Dahlin). We let two of our top four scorers walk and replaced them with castoffs and non-difference makers, although I like Skinner.
