I recall a poster saying here that us being better defensively can't be all goaltending.

I don't know, could've fooled me.

did everyone but hutton go out and drink in vegas last night?

Yea this is a little rough, the good news is we have some goaltending this year to give us a chance to regroup after a slow start. If this were last year it’s 2-0 easy already and I would be watching Netflix

I think mccabe could use some bench time

Agreed, he looks terrible

Need more speed and skill in the lineup, and fewer "good defensive guys"

Trying to do way too much, perhaps cause it's a contract year.

Forwards, sure. The defense could use about 3 good defensive guys

We still can’t pass

rayzor jinxed us "they are 0-16 on the powerplay"

Everyone seems to be a step off tonight but McCabe has made more bad plays than good, and think overall this year he’s been pretty solid

We need Pilut up here sooner rather then later. The focus on drafting d-men is also the right move by Botts. Scandella/McCabe are 3rd pairing d-men in an ideal world. Risto is a 2nd pair RHD and Dahlin is still 18. Going to be growing pains still.

I'll be thoroughly impressed if they can get a point out of this.

Marty looks like he got his wisdom teeth out last night

Nice to see this being only a 1 goal game after that first period. Let’s hope we can regroup and make this exciting

I'm not really judging the team based on tonight's game. Vegas is obviously way better than what it shows in the standings from the small sample size. On the road, not really a game I expect to win. I just don't want to see guys hanging their heads out there like recent years.

Think Sabres have grease on their sticks

Ristolainen couldn't give a single (frank)
