I’m not really concerned about the announcing. Just wondering about the quality of play against a top team.

They look good. The look like a young team playing a really good team.

The only officiating I had a problem with was the no call on the slash. A 5 on 3 would have been nice.

Just tuning in. Other than the power-play is it even?

We played well in the early part of the first but Carolina has slowly kind of taken over. They aren't killing the Sabres but we are having to work really really hard in both ends and are having trouble getting shots to the net between the blocks and the back checks getting sticks in lanes.

Sabres are doing a lot of circling in the Canes zone without any real shots on goal.

Imagine the Canes will forecheck hard… Stop us in the neutral zone… We need to find the seams… Granato could unleash our best shooters with more minutes… Mix up the lines… We need a spark… We need Vinnie!!

Carolina is the best team the Sabres have faced this year. This is a good measuring stick game. First team we've faced that is as fast as us. They are smothering us in their end. But we aren't out of it. 

 

Good call.  Carolina is playing great team D and is creating a ton of clean high-danger chances on O.

The Sabres can beat them but they need to turn up the intensity on the forecheck and realize how little room the Canes are giving them to stickhandle and pass.

Sabres are doing a lot of wheeling and dealing in the offensive zone but it's all to the outside. Whenever they try to get inside the Canes either converge on them or get sticks in the way of passes.

They are really good...very impressed especially with the way they play team D.

Sabres are getting destroyed on faceoffs again too which doesn't help.

ESPN has shown the Sabres love (at least in the 1st). They want Tage to get giraffin' but the Canes take away his time and space really well --- like the first 4 games of the year. 

They have I'm mostly joking. They love love the Canes though.

Let's see how the third goes.

They have been saying a lot of good things about the Sabres, but they are having a major drool fest over Ahole, but for good reason. 

Gramps is having a pretty nice game in net. The Canes could easily have a 3 goal lead right now.
