Yeah, that's called a pleasant surprise.

Those things don't happen here.

Its beyond that way beyond that

Adams traded back to trade for a guy who is equivalent to a waiver wire pickup

Yet another fireable offense in a long list of em

I dont think they suck.

The GM failed them. They needed to be surrounded with Vets that lead by example and hold them accountable.

The good Vets cant be Dahlin, Samuelson, Cozens, Tuch and Tage. They are the players that need the Vets.

What about bringing in a whole 4th line .

Mcloud and Zucker are nhl vets that the gm brought in.

Does a teammate need to tell Dylan cozens needs to score on a team leading shot total?

I blame the players, they are young nhl vets now .

Tage , tuch, dahlin drop the training wheels


I think a couple guys need to break out and that should solve the problem

As you said, it's never been Power's game.

Could he learn a bit of it like Dahlin? Sure.

What each really needs is a right handed defense partner who is the opposite of soft, and can still play.

If each had that, their games would really blossom.

It's the benefit of having a hammer for a partner instead of what they have now, which is more of the same as they already are.

It's the player's he gave Extensions to that are the problem at this point.

Benson-Krebs-Cozens on wing Is what I'd be trying tonight. See if Cozens plays better there.

Quinn can take a night off. Helped him prior years. Maybe hes still hurt.

Very good point

Cozens , tage, Samuelson and dahlin

Tage actually is playing well the last few , but needs to hit the net with the puck

Tage has been far from a problem. Samuelsson hasn't even been that bad other than a couple bad plays.

Cozens, Quinn, Dahlin all need to wake tf up.

No blame for the guy who brought in and resigned the players who at this point have proven they can't get it done?

Why does adams deserve a pass. This is year 5, youngest team in a league where young teams don't generally win. Adams is completely indefensible. Real teams fire this guy twice already

They could not lead last year so the GM thought they could this year?

Adams needed to bring in better players then the “core” not worse Vets. He hoped Benson would be the spark last year and a new 4th line this year would solve the softness issue.

Its the GM’s job to see what the team needs and help the players and coaches out. Its crazy that 1 GM in buffalo is so good at that and the other is just so blind.

Would actually like Kulich there

IMO Samuelsson and Clifton don't make a good pair.

Im fine with that as well. They've got to shake up that second line one way or another.

Saw a stat during the game last night that the Sabres had 100 shots that missed the net already this season.

Yeah, they are horrible with that. So many good chances and they can't hit the broad side of a Barn.

UPL needs to save that one in the last minute. No excuses on that one. That said, xGA for the game for him was 4.98, he gave up 6. Need a better showing, but my main issue is no matter what, you think every goal is his fault. And every goal against Levi is the teams fault. They play for the same team.
- SDSabre

The 2nd goal and 5th goals are inexcusable for an NHL level goalie.

It’s embarrassing how people think so highly of UPL.

He continually lets this team down and he gets a hall pass.

It’s hilarious.

Cozens and Dahlin have been very disappointing. Remember about 3 years ago I said we should Trade Dahlin if we aren't gonna get the right partner for him to help mentor and develop. Got ripped apart for it, Sabres have failed him and there doing the same to Power.

Byram makes Dahlin expendable. See if you can get someone to bite on a Dahlin trade to get a good center prospect and a shutdown d prospect. Sabres should have plenty of offense from Byram and Power.

Novikov and Johnson should be decent depth. Find a RD samuelsson

Obviously this is not even in the realm of possibility

😅😅🤣! Spot on. Maybe Wild Thing can let them use his Glasses.

Been wondering that since it happened. I'm not sure Girgs or Okposo wouldn't be an improvement, sadly. He isn't even hitting, which was the sole thing he did well in WSH.
- QuinnFan

16 hits while averaging 8:00 over 5 games.

I was told yesterday that expecting 2 hits per game from F's was not realistic. 20 other players skating have a combined 116 hits total, for average of 5.8 hits each.

IMO we are F@cked with these extensions, because it's not like these guys have gotten better since they signed them.

I don’t remember if it was vs Buffalo or not, but was laughing when Moller kinda referenced the Uecker’s line when saying how a point shot almost took the ref’s head off over in the corner.

Cozens hasn't been the same since he got whupped last year. Idk they need to try moving him to wing for a while. Give kulich or Krebs a shot to center him and Quinn.
