I thought him and power were easily our best pair and they easily outperformed the first pp group

joker and dahlin does not work

we went down that rabbit hole year after year

power-dahlin

clifton-joker

Would rather they go 13F 5D and scratch Clifton. Double shift Dahlin with Power and Joker, elevate Kulich and Krebs.

Dahlin needs to play 30 mins a night and be a difference maker if this is going to work.

Byram played nearly 3 minutes more than the $11m captain.

That can't happen.

I wonder if dahlin is 100% yet

13:39 for Cliffy Hockey tells you everything you need to know about how Lindy feels about him. He'll get the BJs to the cap floor.

This isn't going to work if their best player and captain is on a pitch count all year. If he's on the ice, he has to play, play a lot, and be a difference maker

Doubt it with a short turnaround

Most likely Allen

Yea there is no reason to wait any longer. See if McLeod can use his speed to retrieve and disrupt for kulich to find spaces to shoot
- ieetbred

Kubel out for tomorrow so this seems like a no brainer, but Sabres coaches have made very stupid moves for many years so I would not be surprised if it’s not even Kulich in and Greenway stays in the 3rd

No surprise seeing the great UPL hater in here.
Whats he supposed to do play all 6 positions? 3rd goal he got caught a bit but he was left out on his own way too many times which is more of the same from this group. Looked pretty much the same in their own zone which isn't surprising when you bring back the same defense

Zucker has 2 great chances on the PP but doesn't come close. It should be kulich in that spot but instead you have Greenway on this team still doing what exactly?

I want to see kulich in tomorrow. This team is not nearly deep enough on offense but it was nice to see some north south speed and to the net on the 4th line and McLeod

I'll give it 10 to 15 games we should know if its going to be much different at all this season. Adams should be fired every minute of everyday that goes by when the team looks like this

- ieetbred


.864 save % is that good?

When did UPL become better than Dom Hasek. Oh and clownie thinks UPL is better than Ryan miller

It makes no sense.

Would be very surprised if it's not Krebs tomorrow. I'm sure they'd love to give one of the kids a game at home, but I don't think they have the luxury.

The team didn't play well, obviously, but it is also true that UPL was swimming in net for a good portion of the game.

That's a consistent problem he had prior to his hot stretch last season.

Really hope that problem is not returning.

Yea UPL wastes a lot of energy and loses himself quite a bit. It was a big problem two years ago.

Last year he seemed to correct it.

Today it was prevalent again.

The entire team needs to be better. Including UPL.

Markstrom agrees that you can’t stop high danger chances. Signed a 99.9% sure goal that didn’t go in because markstrom.

Loser Lindy, same old, same old...everyone forgot how poorly he had done before he was fired and believed his BS this time around. It will be a long, terrible season. Hopefully, I am wrong.

Definitely got stuff to clean up! A lot of stuff seemed the same as last year.

Already in last place, what an accomplishment. They should have practiced a little more instead of seeing all the sights. When will they ever pull the trigger for a seasoned Stanley Cup winning coach? They will never learn, poor management and poor coaching.

OK, doesn't mean your Goalie doesn't have to move more with more action in front. Never said he shouldn't stop some. But would help if the team in front of UPL helped a bit.
