Dude. We're missing four D men and 2 forwards. Remember when they looked good the first game? That's because they had a mobile 4th line and balance coming from the D.

Reading anything into the game is a mistake. Yeah, blow up the core of Falk, fedun, Tennyson and Antipin.

Yes blow it up .. YOU ONLY HAVE ONE GOOD PLAYER JOHN TAVARES AKA JACK...

U talking the Tennyson no clear play?
Don’t u think Lehner could’ve directed that puck away from the net better?

Or was that the one where Lehner had the puck behind the net & then totally misplayed the puck, which DIRECTLY led to the goal?

Dude goalies lay the puck in front of them all the time. Like a goal buffet

He’s better than Lehtonen.

Woo, noice. We needed that goal. Team already looked like they gave up.

That's such a bogus answer.

Players aren't just "good" or "bad"

We have plenty of fine players, just not enough.

Goon Reinhart

He’s better than Lehtonen.
- Der Kaiser

Well Lehtonen isn’t one of our goalies,
so that doesn’t matter much to me

No we have a bunch of overpaid players that are just milking it

we need to start over with jack and casey mittelstadt then maybe you add Dahlin

and that's the new core

I kind of have to agree at this point.

Agree
With the level of losing we’ve had, it just makes individuals look worse than they really are

I like our forwards when u consider what’s coming soon (hopefully)
Even if Bailey, Baptiste & Asplund don’t work out at “top6” guys, I think they’re at least “top9” quality
Mittelstadt & Nylander should both be “top6” quality, and likely better
And then there’s Rodrigues, Fasching, Cj Smith & Malone, who I think can at least be decent depth guys for the bottom 6

Defense & Goalie are still big questions for me though
I know Petersen hasn’t played well so far, but it would be nice to still have him

Yeah ROR 11 pts in 13 games, really milking it. I agree Okposo' s future is looking scary, we may be paying him 6 mil to be on the 3rd line and a PP specialist for 5 more years. Could be worse.

Again, you're over judging this team because they have 2 NHL defensemen right now, their third line has an AhLer and a 4th line center, and the 4th line is incapable of scoring in the AHL probably.

We have plenty of fine players. We don't have enough

absolute clinic

I kind of have to agree at this point.
- BeadyEyedDouche

I don’t

Jack might be our only “great” player,
but we do have a bunch of “good” ones around him

If Mittelstadt & Nylander can be “game changers” then guys like O’Reilly Reinhart & Okposo, (and so on) can settle into their proper role & be very effective imo

ok yeah

blow it up

this is pathetic

fire housley now

I know things are not going to change this poop is just going to keep on continuing until you fix it..

I don't know what you guys think is going to happen do you think it's going to just click and they're suddenly going to be in All-Star team

they're just bad why can't you guys just understand that

Buffalo fans have been watching this crap for so long they forgot what real hockey supposed to look like

I just can't believe everyone's accepting mediocrity

You’re going overboard dude

The parts are better than the whole right now

Injured & terrible defensive play, combined with mediocre goaltending, is killing us
Along with depending on the top6 forwards to bail us out nightly...

Well, of course that’s just a recipe for disaster

- BeadyEyedDouche

Laugh all ya want chuckles...
Doesn’t make u right

You look at LITERALLY every other game in the NHL tonight and both teams are scoring.

Buffalo finally scores against the LITERAL worst team in the league, we're supposed to be "just happy they won".

Tonight, regardless if they come back, is not an anomaly. We play with our shoulders slumped, our heads down, no aggression, no confidence, no heart.

Stop saying we have good players.

We don't.

Stop making excuses. Just. Stop.

I said 6-3 stars on the first page of this thread. You were talking about us killing them. Which one of us knows what this team really is?

It's all hyperbole coming from you, you're not being realistic about what this team is.

For the third time: we have some good players, but not enough. You don't blow up the good players. You add to them.

Me neither. But that's why Buffalo is a losing culture. Always talking about next year as soon as this year starts. Perpetual excuses. Loyal but dumb.

I see about 3 on the Sabres.

Jack ECHL. Ryan O'Smiley, Rasmussen Ristolainen.

Then, a few role players past their prime. Mominville, Octoposo, Moulson.

Then, not much else.
