I'm not a huge Bylsma fan, but you can't blame him for this mess.

We have Casey Nelson, Justin Falk, Derek Grant, William Carrier, Evan Rodirgues all in the lineup. It's 30 percent Rochester

- sbroads24


Also playing with Baptiste...We may not have enough skill to win a lot of games with the current lineup but we could at least play with some sort of passion. Risto has not looked good in his own zone, Reinhart floating back to his own zone to defend, Kane and Girgensons cant hit the broad side of a barn, Franson cant get a shot through, Gorges gets smoked by anyone who has any amount of skill, and Foligno is Foligno. It seems like the Sabres know what the problems are but just refuse to fix them.

Eichel better look elite when he's back to full strength. He has to be the 2nd best player from his draft class. If Marner turns out better than him, and Matthews too, we'll always be chasing the Leafs.

That's about all we have to look forward to this season.

Everyone knew that draft was stacked elite players, franchise players, first-line players great draft

Nylander. Is looking like the best forward in the 2014 draft right now

Taylor Hall and Steven Stamkos are hurt. I expect 0 goals from TB or NJ until they are back

Right now he's got a better SV% than Lundqvist, Luongo, Jones, Fleury, Halak, Bishop, Gibson...

It seemed like a very carefully reasoned analysis.

PS. Eichel kept pace with McMathews this evening, from his couch back at home in Buffalo.

I assume sabres score, take the lead

and go into a defensive shell

then when the 3rd starts, blues get 2 quick goals and sabres have lost their legs

We didn't have time to get into the shell in the third before they exploded on us. "Exploded on us" included Reaves crushing about 7 guys in two back to back shifts and most of the Sabres looking for an exit.

Who knows. 2d goal 0:44 into 3d second rush up the ice. 3d goal came 2 minutes later. No chance to see what Disco might have planned strategically, and then Reaves bombed a bunch of guys to make sure they didn't have any dumb ideas of trying to get back into it, and everybody just decided to go for a nice skate for 17 more minutes.

I blame the players, I guess. They quit.

5 wins in 16 games.

I saw this team regressing from last year, and the season is actually playing out even worse than I envisioned.

The injuries are tough, but we can see that GMTM has completely eroded the depth in this organization with his impulsive moves.

I don't see this team as even a .500 club with Eichel.

Our playoff drought might last as long as the Bills'.

Thank you Terry, Kim, Russ and GMTM.

- homiedclown

We have Derke Grant. Why would we need Pirri?

I was for signing him and Hudler.

I wanted to take a shot at Sam Gagner as well.

They sure would look good in this lineup right about now.

Gona be a fun day.

Again I'm not worried, but I am annoyed, more so at the coaching/ Mgmt decisions.

We cant score so:

Call up Nylander for a game or two see what he has. Send down Grant.
Send down nelson/Falk bring up Fedun

Hell bring up Cole Schneider or COR. They are tearing up Rochester right now.

2 wins so far this month. Oh well. Today is week 5 for Jack. Seems this team is missing some leadership real bad. And his has been missed too the extreme.
