After the Sabres got destroyed 5-2 by the Boston Bruins, Sneaky Joe is asking a direct question. Are the Sabres just bad? In the loss, they also lose Tage Thompson, who will miss significant time. Joe goes through how they can replace Tage, and why it starts with Dylan Cozens.
Plus, good injury news on Zach Benson, Alex Tuch, and Eric Comrie.

Lets see how this team would roll with everyone healthy all at once . They are playing 500 hockey right now. Now without Thompson no Quinn No Tuch. That was 2/3 of the first line out vs the Bruins. I say Bring up Kulich win the Kane Sweepstakes. Thats why i said Joe before the year started the sabres needed a Hellybuck or Gibson to pair with Levi
Levi needs to be sent to Rochester.
Levi needs time in Roch,he should go down for awile
Replace Olofsson, Okposo, Girgensens, and Krebs with goons and agitators. Replace Granato with a coach with a history of winning playoff hockey. That's how we fix it.
yes, its a roster of guys, no cohesive unit. way too many roster spots in the bottom 9 given to players who arent helping them win games. you need depth, and what did kevyn adams do this summer, resigned okposo and girgensons.. why? they need some new role players in that locker room. new faces. there is no jump.
Levi in some ways had been compared to Fleury in his aggression and lateral movement. Fleury also has the same issues in his first couple seasons. If they can address Levi’s over activity, like the goalie coach did with Fleury, I can see him develop into the same level of goalie. Either watch the adjustments Fleury made with Levi, or even bring in that goalie coach to work with him directly, Levi needs to be shown how to be more deliberate and focused in his movements.
first 3 goals were absolutely not Levi's fault
Power needs to be more physical. His soft play is killing his game.
Its the coach the devils have bro thats why they are where they are now
Short answer is yes. Clifton is just bad. Defense is better than last year, but offense is just bad. Too many turnovers. No hustle past blue line. Shoot the puck get the rebounds. SCREW the Instagram shots. Shoot the puck create rebounds, and get in front of the net
Levi will be back, I am sure of that! Joe,you are right get a better start,that is needed! Sabres do have a good team,but we all want more!
It's our DEFENSE that sucks our goalies will never develop the right way until we play better defense and we are very easy to play against which doesn't help
DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE sucks we give up too much space and we let the opposite team stand in front of the net rent free
Waive/Trade Oloffson and send Levi to Rochester. He is not ready yet.
Bruins played like it was a practice and they still handled us! When was the last time we beat them at home
Adam’s knew they were not playoff team so why trade for a veteran goalie. Our young players will develop better with NHL experience
What trades should GMKA be targeting? I've been wanting another fast power forward on this team that can still score. I've always wanted Tom Wilson, and have always liked Necas, but a sneaky trade I'd like would be for Farabee (Syracuse guy).
Looks like Bills negativity has bled to Sabres fans.. I think we thought losing Quinn wouldn't matter. Its totally changed the team. UPL looks solid. Hopefully make the playoffs but we are still the youngest team in the league. Might be a time to off some assets for better fits.
They were a fringe playoff team last year, & they have not shown improvement. They improved in some areas, but regressed in even more areas. They really dropped the ball not doing anything with that bottom six. Really bad decision, especially after losing Quinn. And their defense additions weren’t exactly upgrades, and they needed upgrades.
Im a bit worried about mitts getting top line minutes, padding his stats and the sabres resigning him for way too much. don't think he's a top tier player in this league
Buffalo has a nobody coach who's never won anything and a nobody captain who's never won anything and rookie goalies who haven't proved themselves but somehow they're painted to be successful
I'd say their defense has hardly improved…
Granato is TOO SOFT
Yr after yr this is pathetic
This team will destroy Levi…
This team needs torts as their coach the young kids need to learn how to play 200ft .
The offense on paper wasn’t that good before the year even started I expected this
