For Sabres89...this is the kind of pathetic effort I was referring to after game 1 of the season..

it seems like they are focused on their chance to sleep on the plane ride back east rather than the game at hand

I'm not sure you can complain about the effort at all. Out shooting, out attempting shots, out hitting, this is the prototypical out effort the other team but can't find the back of the net.

People can make excuses but we're bad

I will say that at this point in the game they are really trying....but what I had seen BEFORE was pathetic......it has since changed.

We need a serious re-tooling of 80% of our roster

So you think 15 guys need to go? Maybe 20%.

Ref running a (frank)in pick play......

They controlled play in the second as well and the first was pretty even.

Math has never been my friend

So glad I stayed up for this though...too many men with 3 mins left?!?!

Yeah, they came out kind of not great, but they turned it on near the end of the first. Controlled the majority of the 2nd, but started getting on their heels a bit for a few minutes. The other team is trying too, it's not just the Sabres not trying.

Better jump on the ice when there's 5 skaters!

- chilliard77

I don't even know how that happens.

What I was getting at is only about 20% should be safe (Risto, O'Reilly, Eichel, Reinhart, Okposo, maybe Kane, maybe Lehner, maybe McCabe). Everyone else is fair game

I forgot that these refs in Western Canada like to play it fast and loose..

That's why Grant is on this team.

We're still bad

McCabe is a maybe? Probably one of the brightest young players we have on the back end other than Rasmoooose.

He's actually the only one who might be bright. The others are a little Forrest Gumpy

Not saying I don't like him, just that he isn't quite as big of a piece as the others as of now

I'm at the point that I'm just like what the (frank) are we ever going to be good


Teams lose their star players and yet they still dominate we have no one
