The list of guys prepared to go hard in the paint to play D in the pre season is maybe like 8 names long.

In about half an hour, everything we've discussed will be totally meaningless.

To be fair, it's not like there was a long list of Sabres last year who exhibited the effort needed to play strong defense.

Yes with a good defenseman. Clifton is not. When Boston's season was on the line in the playoffs he sucked and then they benched him for the last two playoff games. That says plenty. Adams had plenty of cap space and trade capital to get a real defenseman to pair with Dahlin and he got a scrub that Boston didn't want and a 35 year old.

15 mil cap space

and we get stillman, greenway, clifton, johnson and bring tokarksi back


top 5 gm

enough with the pre season bullpoop the lack of defense has been going on for years....the epics collapse in which they surrender goals in a short amount of time has been going on for years. what you see right now is what your going to get in the regular season.

Don Meatball has been long playing us all, he has been recruiting slowly, meticulously, and while we were all expecting different players to improve the roster…Adams practically let it slip…they are going to wear the UNTDP jerseys for the regular season. It makes so much sense.

What's your point, some said that all summer and where called whiners on here. Hopefully they figure it out, but you get what you pay for or overpay for.

Equal amounts of awful and good from tonight’s game, so far.

Elite NHL defensemen should not be -4 after 2 periods of play. Preseason or not

It’s last game of preseason. I assume guys coasting and just not trying to get hurt.
Crosby fighting was lol. If you call it a fight.

NHL preseason is too long. Season should start first week of October.

Good stuff, gonna make your goalie loose his confidence before the season starts. Horrible just Horrible

It’s only preseason. This game means nada

Yes it means nothing to a young team breaking in New partners on D.

JFC. The season has not even started yet. Give it 20 real games before the sky starts falling.

Hope Levi likes people in his shop, gonna be a lot in there the way it's looking.

Not good for sure. Best player is the 18 year old.

Those 20 games could make or break the season.

Well of course they could. But this game means nothing

Benson looks so much like Point. Such a great call.

Benson Mitts Greenway has been the best line

- steve5569

seems a lot of players were reading the local articles on how close they were last year and banking on talent to get those few extra points needed to be good



extra work and effort and they could be great though

Well of course they could. But this game means nothing

No sh!t, but that wasn't the point you where trying to make.
