Snake bit. No confidence. Probably in his own head. Could use a couple nights off but the team cant afford it.

The guy talked up how he worked his ass off in the summer and put on 15lbs of muscle to be ready for a bounce back this year.
I’m not sure what the polar opposite term is for bounce back, but this is it.

rip the A off of his Jersey and Samuelsson's jersey and give them to Zucker and Mcleod

What's up with Cozens? Dude is averaging a minute more per game than last year with nothing to show for it.
- BINGO!

Hookers and blow are slowing him down.

I really want to see more of cozens without Quinn and see what he can do without the anchor around his neck

the only time cozens looked decent last season was in Jan and April with Quinn
Quinn loses a step and the line is cooked

baltimore is going to be tough down the stretch

my guess is the emergence of Keon the last few weeks made Beane content with the wr group

my fear is if one of the big 3 wr's go down, we miss a few beats

I think houston should have been all in on johnson

Strange, because I heard right from ya boys mouth that being young isn't an excuse anymore

Which is it?
- ieetbred

Who’s ya boys mouth?

I have my own opinions regardless

Do you see playoff contending talent or cup contending talent?

Acknowledging that isn't giving up.

Peterka is about to turn 23, in a league where F's peak offensively around 23.
- Lunaion

Peterka and power are still very young at 21 and 22 years old respectively.

I think the Sabres have enough talent to make the playoffs this year and be a force when peterka : power are in their primes

Is anyone willing to argue that this core is good enough to win a Stanley Cup?

God knows i would settle for a 1st round sweep at this point but there is just not enough elite talent on this team to sniff a cup, and they don't play a tough enough defensive game to do it a different way. Not sure what we're doing here.

If they make the playoffs and get stomped, adams has another classic adams summer and we do this again next year
- Hank Balling

Great post and spot on.
You expressed exactly what I have been thinking as well.

Its his fault building a completely flawed roster. Isnt he in charge for how young the roster should be?

Noone with grit in the Top 6 (Maybe Tuch)
No 2C or competent 2nd line
3 LD that do exactly the same thing.
No good RD
Can anyone from the 4th line move down a line if need be?
Cozens UPL Sammy Dahlin all look like might be bad contracts.
- ZiggyBuff

Management is following the plan set forth by ownership.

Build thru the draft and be efficient with spending .

Of course we have a young team, that’s the plan isn’t it?

The gm has hit and miss on contracts imo

Baltimore, I think is still the best team in the AFC.

I know the chiefs are 7-0 but I think they are closer to the 4th or 5th best team in the afc than the best team in the afc

This core is not even close to a cup contender. When your second line completely stinks cozens and Quinn. I am looking at them specifically.

Our starting goalie stinks.

Bills released Evans and sounds like Milano is going to start ramping up his workouts. Bills can open up his 21 day return Window in November.

13 year drought and people bringing up if this team is a "cup contender" or not

Ott is NOT a center

The way I see it is the Sabres will NEVeR wins cup.

They don’t want to either.

They almost took the lead after falling behind by 2.

“Go go gadget leg” is only reason why the game stayed tied. Idk if that changes anything afterwards or not, but they didn’t roll over. Many other chances they just couldn’t get to go in.

I just don't see that kind of elite talent. Seeing too many younger guys stagnate or regress.

If Levi or UPL are elite, they give you a chance. So far this year, they are below average. That's disappointing.

Goaltending and the defensive structure have been very disappointing.

I think they stick with upl Friday though

Stagnated under previous coach, now still learning the ropes with a new coach. Maybe 20 games or so before you can fairly judge. Idk.
There will be peaks and valleys
