They look so crappy. Nobody to drive offence
As a lifelong Sabres fan, we are just getting numb to all of this. I'm 98% concerned due to see the same traits we saw last season.
Congrats on 328k!
I thought the incident in the second game where Meier scored the third goal, and fell on top of Levi, and no one on the ice for the Sabres noticed; they just kept skating to the bench;: I'm not saying go after Meier necessarily, but don't just go straight to the bench. See that your goalie's okay. Levi was their best player in that game. I just thought it was kind of telling. Kind of odd. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. I'd br surprised if at least one person who reads it doesn't respond and disagree. Daley?
Are you doing the review for sens and Habs?
they did have a lead in game 2. 1-0
Buffalo's having a "new" coach in Lindy Ruff definitely sounds weird.
They can NOT go 0-4, doesnt matter how good the other teams are. If they actually want to show they have a pulse, they need to win the 2 at home
Their owners are such skinflint penny pinchers that every time THG does a video on the Sabres team I have to mention it. With all the promise in their young core, they still don't spend to the cap to give them the vet or two for a season or two to finally get them back in the playoffs and get people into their building. They receive a ton of tax subsidies from the State of NY to help vitalize downtown Buffalo but pocket that money instead of spending it to get people back in the building.
Complete parasites. Their fan base needs to be angrier. $6 million under the cap. $10 million under the cap when they missed the playoffs by a smidgeon two seasons ago. They don't spend money to make money because the State just gives it to them anyway.
Buffalo has to get used to Ruff’s new schemes, lots of new faces on the revamped bottom-six, and the loss of respected vets like Okposo over the course of this new Regular Season.
Practice is on thing; the games are real now, where reality gets real in a hurry. It’ll take at least a dozen games to see what’s what, and what isn’t working.
Sorry I love you THG but Buffalo had the lead today they scored first.
Levi is the bright spot.
im looking at the same problems with this sabres team.. who is going to do what. and will players take steps. same questions, no answers.
I have NJD 1st in Metro, so maybe a tall order to beat them. They definitely had some good chances, and maybe of NJ had last year's goaltending then it's a close game.
Early injuries are really tough though, not sure how stronk the fwd depth is
I’m pretty sure all of Buffalo already knew this team would be worse than last year. They have Tuch and Greenway on the top line and PP instead of the 3rd line where they belong.
They're finished
They're paying 11m to Dahlin and 8m to Power. Need a lot more from then
"I went with the Buffa-slug because this could get ugly…" LOL. At least you didn't go full turd-burger.
i thought buffalo scored first in the 2nd game
Shannon, Sabres scored first in Game 2 Thompson at 8:18 of the 2nd period. New Jersey scored on the power play at11:59. Peterka is on the top line, Benson is with Cozens & Quinn on the 2nd line.
They had a lead in the 1st period game 2.
Buffalo did not do anything to make them better, but they did a lot of mover to make the team worse
Re: Video title … Too late.
The year we missed the playoff by 1 point they lost back to back games 8 times. That’s the little glimmer of hope I’m leaning on
25% concerned. 2 games is too short to fully judge. I’m going to both home games this week so I will give you a report and one of your later reviews!
Buffalo will have zero wins this year. The season is finished.
They should have never agreed to this stupid Prague games
Buffalo has had great starts in seasons past but they always fall apart midway through. I have Buffalo coming last in the division this year.
So you get rid Mitts and Skinner, while having scoring issues, don’t bolster your top 6, and have 7m in cap space while needing to make the playoffs… gross and blatant mismanagement.
Lol Reimer was claimed. Because of course he was at 1yr 1M. So we don't even have a 3rd goalie option anymore.
The trouble is NJ is just such a poor matchup for us. They are so similar in so many ways but a notch above across the board. No areas where we have an advantage to exploit.
It seems like today's young elite defense men focus too much on producing points rather than playing for a win. Is it because they are simply playing for their next contract?
The owners are a bunch of tools they need to let the mangers manage and let them open there wallets and pay for some talent bring in free agents sign guys trade guys help beef up this team. They are so far below the cap which is not good let the mangers spend a little and build this team up. They have no identity they traded a top prospect away to the Oilers only make them stronger and the Sabres weaker the owners are the problem here they are tools.
I cannot wait to boo the crap out of this team Thursday night
Florida start slow? I think not. They running Boston's number a bit right now. I don't think florida gonna start slow. I'm scared they just intend to run it back. The Panthers on night one look like they haven't missed a beat from playoffs
