Doohickie Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 I will say this: The effort is there from Olofsson. He isn't very effective but he's forechecking pretty aggressively. Benson needs the puck. Feed him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 It’s the first period of the first game of an 82 game season. We are playing 2 rookies. 1. The Rangers actually do have a better team. 2. The Rangers have lots of veterans and one of the best goalies in the league 3. Give the Sabres a chance. 4. The whining about Power and Benson is ridiculous. 5. I don’t see the Sabres backing down or playing that bad Will you guys stop over analyzing this. 1 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanSlinky39 Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Not a BAD period. Really like the checking. One of the goals was just a deflection nobody could've stopped on a gifted penalty. Buckle down, come out and win the next two periods. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) The Sabres are shaky right now, but they are going to be better than the Rangers this year if goaltending is there. They're starting to control the puck, and starting to catch the Rangers watching Edited October 12, 2023 by Randall Flagg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickshaw Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Krebs looking good. Reffing? If this is what we’re up against already, gonna be a long year. NYR playing one high at blue line!

ExWNYer Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Better energy towards the end of the period so, hopefully, the nerves are gone. The calling card that is their offense needs to show itself in the 2nd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Well, not a disaster but not the start we need to be seeing. Power was horrible for sure, contract hangover? The refs didn't help any. Looks like we've replaced some goal scoring with some highlight reel hits though. Let's get those 2 back in the 2nd and add Benson's 3 for the rooks 1st Hattie to boot. My optimistic prediction, Buf 5 Rags 2 by the end of 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
