Sick of getting smacked around by other teams, they score and start yapping.... Do something about it. We just turtle. Lindy Ruff hockey 

Rasmus Dahlin literally scored that period after Zadorov ran his mouth. 

[Gatorman0519]

Heading back to the basement of the conference I see. Still have not found a franchise goalie since Ryan Miller.

I know it's only October, but sell me that this isn't the Same Old Sabres™.

Lacking in top-6 forward talent

Uninspired, disjointed blue line

Lousy power play

Poorly coached

Get outworked on the boards regularly

Refuse to go to or put butts in front of the net

It's the same ***** every single year under Adams.

Then, Kasterlic scored after destroying Dahlin, followed by the whole team yapping and Big Z pointing at our bench as we do.... Probably nothing 

Greenway just swirled away. 

[DarthEbriate]

The question becomes...

Do they do anything physical, or do they just yap and hide from Zadorov and Jeannot?

Kesselring was jawing a bunch on the bench. Dunne is in the lineup. Greenway is back. They're not too small by size.

I mean, he's already been severely dented this season 

Isn't Greenway kind of a fighter?

I mean you want saves but my gosh you gotta score more than 1 goal against one of the worst teams.

JEANNOT is a GD Bruin??? 

Maaaan, that's no good 

Wasn't he the TB guy who ended Cozens?

IMO, we're playing some good hockey but there's poor coaching and certain players that kill ya.  I refuse to ignore that we've been showing the ability to play well and that it's time to punish poor play.  Power wouldn't skate again tonight and I'd fire Ellis tomorrow morning.

Even Miller wouldn't be so terrific with that D in front of him. My God it is so weak, all of them and it's year after year.

[GoPuckYourself]

Greenway and Kesserling are both just getting back from injuries and I hope Ruff is telling them not to get involved. Time for Samulesson to grow a pair and earn that "A" on your crest big man.

Can't agree with you about not going to the net.   They have consistently done that this season 

plus they 100% haven't got outworked since game 3 of the season

When I look at goals allowed, the blue-line is not GOOD, but often times they actually are in position and are still getting hung out to dry by the forwards coverage (or lack of) in the defensive zone. 

With Dahlin's PP goal, they are right near top 10 in the league in PP%.

And Doan does go to the front of the net basically all the time, that is his whole game in the offensive zone.

I get your point overall though.

The fact that Matty Ellis still has a job here shows that this isn't a serious hockey organization.

This is a major reason I can’t take Greenway seriously.  
 

Not only will he never score nor be a part of the production of any goal, his “physicality” feels like he goes thru the motions.  Like, “I have to do this.”  Not “I want to put you thru the boards.”  

 

[Crusader1969]

Switching to the football.   Someone let me know if they comeback to tie the game!

A large part of that was that insanely hot couple of games (two in a row, I think?). Outside of that, it's looked really bad overall.

[Sidc3000]

So the Sabres literally cat hit the broad side of a barn 🤣. Top 10 with missed shots

They're not terrible, but they're not good enough.

Unfortunately Adams ceiling is 'not terrible.'  Turn the team over to Jarmo to see if he can get rid of the remaining rot to make this an actual contending team.

[mjd1001]

Greenway has never gotten in more than 3 fights in any given year.  He has a total of 12 fights, now in his 9th NHL season.
