Carmel Corn Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 1 minute ago, Doohickie said: My concern coming into this game with 11F/7D is that the forward lines would not be able to find a rhythm due to changing pieces out. It kind of seems like that's what's happened thus far. Passes going to nowhere because linemates are being changed up too much. Agree, this is why IMHO an 11-7 lineup is completely worthless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Can we not attempt to maintain possession a lot more? You know what the Sabrez need? They need to assemble a practice squad not made out of skilled players, but beastly players who will hound them one on one and aggressively guard the net. Then they should run drills where the Sabres attempt to maintain possession and take the puck to the net. Goals scored from the point or anywhere outside the slot are not counted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 I honestly liked last years team better. At least it was exciting losing 6-5.  As of right now I don’t think this is a playoff team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This years team not only hasn’t taken the next step, I think you could make a healthy argument they have regressed and not sure there will be any help from above forthcoming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmel Corn Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 The Pen's look like the younger team tonight....plenty of jump in their game (despite being so much older than our guys). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Last year it seemed like the Sabres were really good at puck possession and obviously scoring.  What happened to that club?  They are so boring to watch nowadays and last night was just a stolen game by Levi.  I didn’t think Buffalo played very well, especially a rested home game against a team on a back to back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 I do not like to blame referees. That said I do feel like Sabres competition are seem to get the benefit of the doubt much more & Sabres more likely to be assessed calls of the tiickey tack variety…. Just sayin’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
