Worst game of the year.

Oh, no Promo, going on road to lose worse. My ability to be ‘hopeful’ died with Kevyn being retained AGAIN. 
 

Seriously, doesn’t have a p tape on Pegs!?  What has he done to create a competitive team? 
 

If I was Dhals or Tage, I am Outta Here if there aren’t changes for a REAL FRONT OFFICE & President of Hockey Operations.

Sabres need 2 more Zach Bensons. Until that happens, they ain't doing *****. 

They need centers.  But if the centers play like Benson I’m ok with it.

Ok, the easiest/quickest way to "fix" this team:

Owen Power: Play him with Kesserling, no one else.  It seemed like the plan, and in the few minutes they have played together they have been good. Do not experiement with him with anyone else. He's not playing well with anyone else but looks comfortable with Kesserling.

Tage:  Please, PLEASE stop experimenting with him on crazy lines. Play him with either Tuch or Benson at all times.

Quinn:  Press Box. He hurts the team too much.

UPL:  Done with him.  Don't even count his play and goals allowed, at this point I don't the the rest of the team trusts him and likes playing in front of him.

Doan:  Hes on the PP, He just stands in front of the net. All the time.

 

Of course a LOT of others stuff can be done. But to me those moves alone get the team back on track.

I promise you 

Of ALL of the above-mentioned 

Removing UPL is the MOST important!

He's the proverbial sand in the Vaseline 

86 his doomer a$$ and all else starts to happen

They tend to play better on the road when they are done sucking at home.

Can Benson play center?  Asking for a friend.

[GoPuckYourself]

It's really hard to like this team, you try and then you get games like this constantly against the worst team in hockey, UPL has no business in net even as a backup at this point he just seems to drag us down.

That folks are shelling out $1000s of dollars to witness this "product" is criminal IMO 

FU LINDY 

FU ADAMS 

AND (above all) FU TERRY!!!!

[Goldseatsaud]

The hiring of Ruff was such a poor move. The coaches behind the bench should all be gone 

[DarthEbriate]

A boot still on Benson means he's probably at least a week away -- so unlikely for the entire road trip. He can re-energize the team. We've seen it already this season. But, it may be too late with everyone in the East scooping up every point available.

Tonight: BOS/OTT - OT, MTL/NJ - OT, WSH/PIT - tied in the 3rd

The Sabres seemed to dominate overall play

Um, what?

[LGR4GM]

What's the Sabres pp percentage? How on earth is Appert still employed?

Don’t forget the worst offender…..his initials are KA

[Goldseatsaud]

It looks a group collecting checks and saying to management a big FU

[SabresBillsFan]

This team will be out of it come the end of November.

They rushed. They could have kept Granato and then canned him the instant Boston let Montgomery go, as St. Louis did. They could have canned Ruff when Montgomery was let go by Boston -- hey, you didn't want to be HC, how about stay on as advisor immediately. Then, give Montgomery full control over his staff and he and Ruff can combine forces to tell Adams what players can stay or go. Alas, too late.

Positionally they did....

Sabres outshot the Blues.

Sabres had 18 scoring chances to 7 for St. Louis.

Sabres had 8 high danger chances to only 4 for the Blues.

Sabres almost tripled St. Louis expected goals.

Positionally the Sabres played better. They just couldn't score, had a terrible turnover by Quinn, and bad goaltending.

[Goldseatsaud]

I don’t why Lindy sticks around? 

[DarthEbriate]

St Louis should've run UPL on their closing powerplay. Just have Parayko go stand in front of the net and fall into him a few times.

They will fire Ruff a week after another team hires DeBoer and then claim they had to just promote Appert because there was no one worthy to hire from the outside at this point. 

The problem with the coaching as been the continuity.  Even with a new HC the Sabres used retreads for the rest of the staff.  That's just ***** up.

Yeah, I don't get the Ruff anger here. The issue is the Pegula, Adams, Forton clan. Hands down.

There was no other realistic hire that that group was going to make that's significantly better than Lindy. There just isn't.

With Adams in House, Appert is the heir apparent and we'll beg for Lindy back.

[Gatorman0519]

The thing is I’m not in the least bit surprised. They essentially rolled back the same team except jettisoned one of their top 6 wingers and prospect in exchange for a defenseman and a 3rd line energy guy and actually thought this was a playoff team. 75- 80 points if we are lucky.

I hope they’re trying to shop him (UPL).  No offense, but I’d rather see more of what Ellis can do first….I just don’t know if they’ll give him a chance to play again.

After UPL's 3 games, Ellis HAS to be the #2.

[Thorny]

UPL wasn’t outstanding but if he stood on his head we’d have lost 1-0 in the shootout. Gotta score
