Positives from last night:

Lehner looks like he's gonna be fine, a few big saves

Risto looked decent

Foligno, Grant, and Larsson all showed flashes

Yet any other team without it's top 3 players is still far and away superior to the Sabres....

Remove Perry Getzlaf and Silvferberg from Anaheim. Prepare to laugh.

Remove Bergeron Marchand and Krejci from Boston. lol.

Remove Toews Kane and Panarin from Chicago. Good (frank)ing luck.

Let's not forget a top 4 D from them as well.

Remove 3 of their best with us healthy? I highly disagree.

You just made my point about the NHL in general.. This is a league that is watered down to the point of boring people to tears......

Because we did not have the currency for Hall.

It really is entertaining seeing all these trades that GMTM Should have done instead of the ones he did. Everyone thinks it's just like a video game. If it was that easy , don't ya think everyone else would be doing it ?

I did not say to leave the Sabres healthy...

It's definitely not easy Cab but what people are saying is that the direction and priorities are not quite in sync...... It has been 5 years now and no more than a baby step closer to competing for the cup Cab...

Cab... let me ask you this... When is the last time you watched this team just totally dominate a game for the whole 60 minutes? Against a good team.....

Young team (very young) Look at the teams competing for the cup. Where were they 4-5 years ago? We are in our 2nd year of the rebuild.

Who are the best 3 guys on MTL? Last night if we removed them, I'm not sure it would have made a huge impact.

Isn't this a loaded question? The team for at least 2 of the last 3 seasons was built to not dominate anyone ever.

Cab.. The rebuild started the day Pegula took over and promised a cup in 5 years...

Yeah Cab... That was me.... Having a team that makes you want to jump off the bridge every year is getting quite old... This team has been very overrated AGAIN by many on here.....

There's an easy solution to all of this. If you really don't like what the team is doing or you're over it, STOP WATCHING. It's that simple.

And that's not just directed toward you, it's to everyone who does nothing but piss and moan about this team yet continues to watch and never has anything good to say.

Fantasy hockey trade:

Crosby
Josi

for

Thornton
Headman


What say you?

Thanks for the help, jerks!

I have watched even backmarker teams dominate games on occasion.... Sabres... Not...

I'm just here for the ill conceived commentary.

I did not enjoy watching that mess last night.

But, it's one game of 82 and I don't let these things dictate how I feel on a day to day basis.

My favorite was the comparison to the Bills start.

Yes, 1 game of 82 as a loss = 1 game of 16 as a loss...

Too much bridge jumping commentary after 1 game. Injuries are part of life in the NHL. Depth at all positions is important. A number of players were released from their PTO's, gotta think Murray will need to get somebody. Or they wait till after the Amerks opener tonight and re-call someone for the western trip.

Smart a$$
