I have been harping on it (im sure very annoyingly) for years.

When this team is god 5 on 5, they will make noise and go to the post season.

They have a top **5** PP. Who cares?

I hate to go against the company line around here, but olofsson is a very bright spot during a dim season.

Thank God they reunited eichel with skimmer. Last night proved everyone here right. Got our 9 million $ guy going last night, and our 10 million guy stymied.

They both set up your boy with a tap in and he shot it right into the goalies pad.

Changed the entire game as they ended up going up 2-0 shortly after

One thing I noticed last night: Montour blows and we should trade him for a set of old Easton Synergy hockey sticks to really get the synergy going with this team.

But seriously Montour is horrible. Borgen looked good.

Well that 9mill and 10mill guy set up Mr. Bright spot and his 5on5 nickname CLANK appeared.

Olofsson could have had the hattrick. Should have had at least 2 goals.

Gotta be in it to win it.

Those chances will be converted.

Doesnt olo have like a 7 game point streak?

Glad to see 53 and 9 reunited .

Changed the whole complexion of the season.

It's funny how you guys criticize olo, but give skimmer a free pass.

Olofsson has plenty of room to grow 5 x 5
Being that he has played 75 nhl games.

What's skimmers excuse again, 1 (frank)ing point.
Was it 5 x 5 though?

He's the only one scoring, I will not take that away from him, but he has probably hit 10 posts at 5on5, he needs to start converting.

His second should’ve been last night. But the Islanders had 5 guys on the ice so Olofsson couldn’t bury it.

Skinner is done here. He doesn’t fit with Krueger, so it is what it is.

Hopefully he waives to get out of town

After watching last night, it's pretty clear they never will be. Reinhart gets straight up bullied when he's away from Eichel, Hall is all over the place away from Eichel, Eichel gives the puck away constantly, Skinner and Olofsson looked good off-wing from each other, the defense looked better without Montour and not much else to take away from last night except we have weak goaltending and Ullmark tops out as a back-up goaltender, at best. Okposo is terrible.

This team should have done more than 'sign Hall' and think that would get them to the playoffs and at a minimum should have made 1 move to upgrade goaltending after signing him.

I am sure this was touched on all ready, but NO shots in the 3rd? Yikes, that's even bad for this team.

I don't care if we were missing 5 starters and it was our first game back, we should of been fresh.

Every time you think you hit bottom the Sabres just show you a deeper hole...
