5 points out of 30th place

Unless Dell starts every game I don't see us in the bottom 4. Lowest we get is 28th

Bryson gave up on helping for some reason. Olof actually picked up his man then proceeded to lay down instead of just taking away his man and Skinner got beat.

Both Bryson and Skinner should not have been out there.

It was a good play by the Strangers. Horrible breakdown by us.

Love how Dell didnt even try to get across either. Just stuck his stick out a bit.


I franking hate that twat.

i think peabo was kinda in no-man's land, not really sure exactly what to do once his tallness got the puck, and therefore rendered himself useless...

as for his tallness, goaloffson and skinner, if i'm not mistaken, meatballs has used them a number of times in these situations

It is difficult (impossible really) to make any determination aside from what the goal this year was for the Sabres when you saw who they signed for goaltenders.

Part of that was also the organizational desire to let UPL play his way onto the team, which obviously didn't happen. I'm not saying counting on UPL was a *good* plan, because it wasn't, but I do believe that was their plan

New team new system.

He belonged here
- DirtyDan

it would seem as if he wanted out, based upon the rumored term and asking price of 5-6yrs at around $6m per

Shoulda payed Ullmark. We have the frankin money to spare.

That's 3 or 4 more W's with a good goalie.

Management and coaching need to get on the same page.

Either were trying to compete or were trying to tank. Can't do both successfully.
- DirtyDan

Don’t think he wanted to sign here, just because the team has the money doesn’t mean the players wants it from them, who knows maybe they offered 6 million a year and ullmark rejected.

Do we not have a veteran checking line? What are Girgs Kyle and Eakin for?

This is fair.

5 points out of 13th place, too. And if Anderson is healthy, they're probably right there.

i think the goal for meatballs is for the team, including younger ones, to take on some of those high-pressure situations

Don’t look now but there are still some good teams behind the Sabres and the yotes are coming up quick. Nothing wrong with getting a lottery pick. I’m not sure it will matter who’s in net. This team needs time more than anything right now.

Chicago yeah, Vancouver is in a big rut. The rest of em' STINK.

Ottawa sux. Zona sux. Seattle not very good. Montreal needs price to do anything.

I get it but that's 2 now ina week where Thompsons line has been out there for last second goals.

Thompson tried he really did. He learned from the Toronto game but why do you have Bryson (an offensive d-man) and Skinner of all franking forwards. Olof did good till he layed down. Skinner is usless in his own zone though.

Bad coaching decisions at the worst possible times.

Aaron Dell sux

I definitely wouldn’t strike off the Habs. Way too early. When the Sabres get 100 percent they could make a run. Way too hard to predict much in this league other than every team in every year will go through a STINK phase

4-5-1 if Dell isn't the goalie.
- DirtyDan

1-8-1 if a goalie didn't stand on his head vs penguins


team is better then tank years, but only slightly

Montreal is poop without Price.

When Price comes back they'll be fine but until then they stink

5 points out of 13th place, too. And if Anderson is healthy, they're probably right there.
- Powerslave

assuming anderson stands on his head when he comes back

another big if

The only game one of our goalies has done that for a win.

once the honeymoon ended after beating the ducks

they are pretty much what everyone expected

a bottom 8 team that overachieves on certain nights

all good points...and once again, for as much good as donnie g has done thus far with what little he's been given, he's still a rookie head coach
