I think having 2 d men back there helps

less turnovers at the blueline

Also a lot less looking for the perfect shot.

1st game after only practicing and a few games against not full NHL line-ups. Not up to speed yet. Learning new coaches way to play will take time to really gel in any way.

Excuses are like bumholes.

Saw the same kind of comments in the first half of the Bills first game. Its just game 1 people.

We get to do this all over again tomorrow morning, don't waste all your anger now

How come NJ doesn’t look bad for having split squad preseason games?

They looked as confused as last Year. Defense looks like Crap.
- Buff36

No assistant coaches were changed. Lindy wasn’t allowed to… Ellis moved upstairs, Appart promoted. And Wilford still running the D… are you really shocked?

teams we never match up good with

rangers
devils
bruins
canes
panthers
bolts

Saving any kind of hot takes for tomorrow after Game 2.

They weren't ready today. OK. Have to come back to the New World 1-1. Going into the home opener 0-2 is a recipe to spiral

Even Chad D is freaking out above UPL

But hockeybuzz here thinks UPL can do no wrong

Calendar changes, names, numbers and coaches change but we are still the same poopty team.
- hehateme

Not really…

Same poopty d coach
Same goalie coach
The changes were Ellis in the box and promote apart

Add Lindy but not allow him to build a coaching staff

The Devils main players only played 1 or 2 games

Last 3 games were all AHL and so was game 1

Devils also have a new coach

lol. I was about to point the new coach thing out but decided against it.

Breaking news: the 2024-2025 Buffalo Sabres have been eliminated from the Stanley cup playoffs.

Thats it

Still think scheduling that game in Germany and almost eliminating their pre-season schedule was BS.

2nd PP looks good.
- Lunaion

Because it has 2 defensemen and doesn’t give up short handed breakaways

This was a fvckin mistake and we all knew it. Terry being Cheap??

and/or Kev being too nice

So when the bills played the jags, the excuse was that the jags were in London for longer so they got used to the time zone.

But now the excuse is, the Sabres had to go over a week earlier?

Don't see a big difference between those?

Well, they are in Europe, can they kidnap Irbe to be the goalie coach.

Terry bought a roof and a scoreboard. That's enough spending for one year. Probably pained him to do that.
