Panthers will carry three goaltenders to start the season.


Also looks like Mackenzie Entwistle will make the opening night roster.

Maybe I'm overestimating it. Guess Lindy wasn't marketed hard enough.

Non Canadian Western team , Thursday night , still football season.

The definitely sold some season tickets with Lindy , the 2 losses are a bummer for Sabresland though.

Krueger Stank never left

I keep saying this for the last few days

It’s the core players that are the problem.

Tuch
Tage
Cozens
Samuelson
Power
Dahlin.

The core as a collective group is a failure. More so the forwards.

Production has dipped and has never come back for 2 years now

They are the common denominators of all the sucking and coaching changes

They got lazy and never recovered

Where's the Heart! I would trade one of Tage or Tuch to wake these F@ckers up. There's no sense of urgency at all in there game.
- Buff36


Offer up the trade now for either Stutzle or Tkachuk out of Ottawa.

25-1st
26-1st
Tage
Kulich
Samuelsson


Tkachuk
Zub
Norris

Building will be on edge I imagine. Not healthy for the home opener, especially with how openly fragile they are

Could be 0-4 by Saturday night. What are the crowd complainers going to say now that a couple of them wear letters?

I recall Maurice talking about players learning the new system, saying that it takes a while before they finally stop reverting to their old habits when things aren’t going well. fwiw

Their problem is not skating hard not battling and not going to the net. System is irrelevant

Game 1 and 2 on the world stage after all their big talk about being accountable and they completely no show

Yes, it takes Kevy eons to make a deal...gotta have conversations about making conversations, then conversations about nothing, followed by more conversations about the conversations they had and new ones they need, then conversations about possibilities...that is just to warm up future conversations.
Start now, could make this happen in the next 18 months.

It's tough, both teams are at the same point. If either does well this season, no deal. If both do poorly, also probably no deal.

Be ready for the boo birds if they lay an egg or 2 in the next 2 games .

I’m guessing another low goal output

Their roster moves suggest he's not going to miss time. Minimal, if any.

Hopefully that McDermott realizes he's a blocking TE and ST specialist who needs to stop taking WR reps
- Hank Balling


Maybe he needs to play barefoot.

The “we need to play better” quote from this group every time we lose by getting completely out played is getting old.
I don’t think there will ever be elite compete in Tage or Tuch. Dahlin and Cozens show signs of getting it and can be salvaged with the right crew around them. Power still has time. Samuelsson is expendable.
So our easy targets to move now while they have value
Tage, Tuch, Samuelsson

That would easily land us the pieces we need if we bundle them with picks and prospects

Still think we need to target a real 1c and move Tage to the wing. This has needed to happen for some time now.

We are very weak on LW

Move Tage for an Ehlers type.
Move Tuch, Samuelsson, prospect, pick for 1c

Ehlers/ Real1c/ JJ
Kulich,Benson/Cozens/Quinn
Kulich,Benson/McLoud/Greenway
Larrys

We don’t have an elite forward. A driving force if you will.
We have an excess of floaty, perimeter players who don’t compete on a nightly basis. No coaching change is ever going to fix this

Nobody wants to play for the Sabres, Adams has done nothing to make it a place to play!

I’ve never seen a coach care about special teams as much as McClappy does.

Maybe he should focus on the side of the ball that’s most important.

Homie is on the East Coast, will die down to a Cat 1 when it affects Jacksonville.

Milton is expected to go over my house late Wednesday as a high-end Cat 3... That is IF the wind shear knocks it down by 1 Cat.

It has me a bit worried, but hoping for the best as well have taken proper precautions and prep work.

looks a bit better this morning than last night

hopefully it will continue to weaken a bit

They all got their contracts without having to prove anything.

Biggest thing now is you hope it doesn’t bomb out again and the pressure drops.

That defined eye was hella scary though.

What about McLeod's game suggests he'd be anything but an anchor as a 1C? He's missing wide open, 10ft breakout passes. Methinks Cozens is who you try there first. No?

Tough to hire a GM that will spend short of the cap, be handcuffed by the owner and yet take the blame for it.
