damn in your case it is worse to watch a game on TV


they literally were the best team on ice for the flyer game

other then that, they have played anything but great

- homiedclown


Wait until the " scorer's " start scoring.

Skimmer, hall, dahlin = 1 goal
Skimmer 1 point
Eichel 2 goals

The cast is playing well.
Goaltending is better than most expected
Really 2 bad games of 9, all new forwards and lines.
Risto/ mccabe top nhl type pairing thru 9

He comes the other genius.

If you haven't noticed olloffson's speed, passing and all around hockey intelligence, you need to read fewer charts and watch the games.

He puts himself in sneaky open shooting positions.
Has the best shot on the team / ties with eichel
Had only 68 nhl under his belt.
Each game is better than the last.
Adjusts well to line mates
Back checks

- Boss34


Do you handle questions outside of forums as well as you do here?

When does he back check well?

If he does the bolded, why can't he get his shot off more at even strength? Is that Eichel's fault for being a bad passer?

It is. I think that is the result of the team beating a bad team while playing really mediocre hockey and our stars not looking like stars. I think everyone is a bit uneasy.

I hope he becomes the guy you see every game, as most don’t see it game in and game out (yet). And not being a Richard, I actually do hope that. Because I like the Sabres. He has already surpassed the expectation of a 7th rounder by far.

I mean, if he’s so great at all these things already, and he’s already 25 years old, where’s the improvements coming from?

Today was one of Olofsson's best 5 on 5 games of his career. He doesn't really do much of what you said on a regular basis.

1 great game
2 bad
5 straight good enough
We're winning
The league minimum ufas look good
Pk looks good
Pp is super dangerous

Teams playing great. I'm happy.

If he did all that he said consistently, he would've received longer then a 2 year deal.

The Sabres struggling to score against 2 bottom tier teams in the nhl doesn’t give me confidence.

The other side of things...... we have gotten 5 out of 6 points this week

I think my final judgement on Krueger will be what happens with Okposo. He's completely shot and absolutely cannot be playing every night.

He looks like he should not be playing at all.

What a dropoff after last season.

How's ka-boo-hoo-hun playing ?

Your guy , check your graphs.

The dumbest part is complaining about 5 x 5 scoring.

All goals count.

Is it possible to get better at 5 x 5 ? After say your first 70 nhl games or so?

I see some on here can never be happy with a win.

Always gotta find something to cry about.

The coach has taken -

A perennial 25-30 goal scorer who came off a 40 goal season, a former MVP, a #1 overall pick who had close to 50 points and positive impacts offensively and defensively as an 18 year old, and a future HOF center, and made them all almost
Non-existent for most of every game except when they’re all playing together when the opponents are short a player

But hey, Tobias Rieder and Jake McCabe look good!

We're talking about Olofsson. Try sticking to the topic.

Sure, it's possible. Olofsson is also 25. How much more improvement can realistically be expected? He's not a 21 year old second year player.

It seems like you can't handle reasonable questions being asked about your so certain opinions.

I mean, the team is in the playoffs and Girgs isn’t playing. Coincidence? I kid. I would have still liked Kahun at the price he took. Think he’s a solid player. Is what it is.

Why are we expecting improvements if he already does everything so well? I’m so confused

Really can't argue against anything here. Its frustrating to watch but they're playing mostly well so far.


Gameplan seems to be making the game as miserable as possible
