Had a great pass to Tuch seconds after being added to his line, just wasn't able to bury it. His shooting needs work right now but man he's got some silky passes - Zschalberg
That pass was off by 4 feet. Nobody was burying that.
I don’t want them on the team next year, but they were 2/3rds of a shutdown line that did its job this season.
They are a 4th line that was utilized as a 3rd line and then ultimately overplayed tonight (coach decides who jumps over the boards not them). - Swedish_Jesus
I am fine with a 4th line of girgens, jost and rousek
I really hope Levi doesn't disappoint. After listening to how UPL was the real deal and the saviour the bandwagon has emptied and all aboard on the Levi train. I hope you are all correct this time but it really is far too early to say either way. I wouldn't count out UPL either as he is still a vey young goalie.

Blog was dead for days, it’s like people were waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Misery loves company.
Levi won’t be here till 2025 and we only played two meaningful games in March yet we played meaningful games in April.
Season was a success whether some want to admit it or not.
Whether they fall short or make it to get swept by Boston shouldn’t change what’s happened the last several months - Swedish_Jesus
Why was it a success again because they didn’t finish last? If so, congrats on winning the not last play Stanley cup should they hang a banner for that?
I assume all this not last place success translates to next year, correct and Tage Dahlin Skinner will all have career years again next year

Two of Toronto, Tampa, New Jersey, and New York won’t win a playoff series this year.
A majority of the core that could lead the city to a Buffalo to a parade sometime this decade is 23 and younger.
There is a forest beyond the trees.
If you really sat down and watched most of not all 76 games this year and did not come away feeling optimistic about where Sabres hockey is headed then that’s a you problem

Most of Toronto, Tampa, New York, New Jersey, Atlanta, Sacramento, Turks, and Caicos and Zimbabwe are not going to win the Stanley Cup next year either. I’m not quite sure what the point is there?
The Sabres could potentially be great next year, or they could again miss the playoffs.
The future has been bright for 11+ years now forgive me for not being ra ra about the future
Seen a lot of Growth and Development in the Team, so really positive steps so far as the year isn't over. Think we saw some missed opportunities not only on the ice but from the Front Office. And this is not me bashing Adams, but think he missed some opportunities throughout the year to help his young team. Especially on Defense. Gonna be a important next 7 months for the Organization and what moves are made.

They lost 4 in a row and the kid has gone 4-1 since. He saved their season
Get a grip - joevthree
Twice, actually. Scrub Lyon has saved their season twice now.
*only slight correction is Lyon played the game that was their 4th loss in a row, he’s gone 4-0 since. Started the 4-0 string by totally stealing a game in Toronto
