He has a case of the yips. He's in his own head. I dont know if that will help, but I loved seeing Eichel talk to him
- jcragcrumple

He hasn’t missed a game in 1.25 years so that would be a surprise, but we do have a defenseman sitting in Miller who shouldn’t be sitting

I don’t know that it necessarily helps,
but he was really struggling tonight
It was ok to sit him
GOOD COACHING

Alright. No need to yell

So that’s a great tune. But I remember a live version that was even better then the original. I want to say it was a b side back in the day. Now I need to go find the digital version.
- Chris16

Way late with this, but I always thought the same about the live version being even better. I think it's this one from Wide Awake in America.

Asplund didn't look out of place
- Buff36

Looked good. Skated hard, drove possession and looked much faster than I remember in the preseason. If they truly believe in "nobody's job is guaranteed, then he plays over larsson and girgs... Let's get a winger to put Vesey in the press box.

Sabres have won 1 out of the last 7. Against a bottom 3 team, by one goal until an empty netter

GOOD COACHING

He has a good motor.

He and Lazar should stay. Okposo is probably out a while if he is indeed concussed
- jcragcrumple

Yeah, feel bad for him, but if that's all it takes know, he should really think about hanging them up.

We get it. You're still unhappy.

Put Vesey on a bus, and just keep on driving

Jesus im negative but you are in a class of your own. The plan was to shoot more often then look for the perfect goal they did just that. Yes eichel has the 4 goal and yes it was against the sens on a back to back but at least they tried something different today..

We get it. You're still unhappy.
- Myrtles_Finest

How could anyone be happy with this team?

Their 4 guys and a bunch of the same losers from the past 5 years.

And the coach doesn’t want to help Mittelstadt or Dahlin, who actually have the potential to make a difference

More importantly, he was taking Mitts shifts when they went to 3 lines.

When the Sabres are actually good, I’ll be happy. And that will happen when guys like 26, 37, 10 are used properly.

Right now we’re the exact same team as the last 5

Yeah, a dominant performance from our elite player shouldn't distract the GM from the massive deficiencies up front

It might put it out of sight for a few days for the fans though

It's easy to win when one player just beats the team by himself
- jcragcrumple

I mean that’s been 95% of the Sabres wins in the last 4 years.

Get Eichel some help and everyone will realize he’s a top 10 Center in the league.

It’s not just Botterill at this point. It’s Krueger.

How ANYONE can watch McCabe play and think “yeah, we need more of that” is astounding.

Literally 10 seconds after he takes Dahlin’s place Ottawa is in our zone and ties it up

This is now (I believe) the 4th coach who has looked at Risto and said "there's a 25 minute defensive defenseman." None of the usage surprises me. This is what coaches do.

Come january or February the heavy usage will weigh on Risto and the brain farts will increase exponentially. Nothing about the team is sustainable

It's fun to watch Eichel do Eichel things though

I am all for sitting McCabe, but Dahlin hasn't been any better.

I only counted two MCabe whiffs tonight.

And ANY is bad b

I never said we should not trade for a top 6 foward im saying the game plan was to shoot more often and they did that. That said miller on the press box is not good something has to give

- Buff36

Dahlin made the defensive play that set up Eichel’s first goal.

McCabe took a penalty, made a ridiculously bad offensive play during a good o zone cycle, and was on for another goal tonight

Dahlin at any moment can make a play that gives us a goal.

All this was is an excuse for Dahlin to be the guy rotated out tomorrow so Miller isn’t sat 3 straight games. Makes it less of a shock tomorrow

They do need to shoot and crash the net more for sure. I didn't mean to direct my comment at you, fwiw.

Dahlin made one breakout pass which reinhart made the most of it....dahlin has been completely out of place this season he needs a break. That said again mccabe has been brutal tonight too
