Give Hamlin a reliable Partner and think he's fine.
- Buff36

What makes you think that? He's a great story and a decent backup, but I don't think he's shown anything to think he's a quality full time guy.

Rapp is a little better, but the two are very weak.

Win or lose its supposed to look different this year. The entire team was disorganized and disinterested in competing much like last year. Levi is the only one who showed up

If they don't come out with their balls on fire Thursday and show something its time to blow it up

Yuppers. Gotta get a win against the Kings, fight for one vs the Panthers, then a much easier week is coming with the Pens, Blue Jackets and Blackhawks.

I know he hasn't gotten a lot of snaps, but have you been watching Bishop at all?

Stay Safe!
- Buff36

the big problem is all the stuff is still by the roads from the last storm so they are going to be flying everywhere plus the new stuff

guys.......

Seems like he's made a few plays and gotten burned a few times. Sucks when the mistake costs a long TD.

What's the deal with Edwards? Another signing that isn't helping.

So 6 minutes is enough to clear someone ?
- Buff36

If they show no symptoms and answer the questions, then it probably is.

The one people will focus on here is if he lost consciousness on the field. I'd just be guessing, but it looked like he may have.

guys.......
- BINGO!

This a young team and they just need experience…

Does adams care that his team was embarrassed on the literal world stage? Where is the owner? Ruff needs to dial back the clock and go nuclear in that locker room

If they are 0-4 after this week does anything change other than the odds of a top 5 pick going up?

The only excuse I'll give them is that this preseason schedule put them in a terrible position to start playing NHL regular season games.

They can't afford a bad month, so they need to figure it out fast.

Because I have seen him play with Hyde or Porter and he was Decent. Kinda hard to have solid Communication when your Box from LB to Safety are all knew and constantly switching. Never said he was great, just get a decent partner.

If I had any faith in GMKA, I would almost hope for another stinker so maybe he's willing to pay the price for Zebras

I think he's a few tiers below Rapp, who is a low end starter himself.

How come the devils didn't have that problem?

A lot of low End playing right now with the injuries

They had an extra week at home with a more normal camp and pre-season games.

This group is so far beyond deserving an excuse I just don't buy it

All the talk at locker cleanout and they simply didn't show up.. again

Sir, since when are there easy weeks for the Sabres?

When the Sabres are on the opponents schedule, it's the opponent who considers it an easy win.

lack of effort led to 2 goals in 120 minutes

lack of effort led to 2 blown out losses in 2 games

lack of effort led to blah pp's

lack of effort led to not going into the corners and coming out with the puck

the lack of chemistry can be an excuse but the 4th line was the best both nights with zero carryover from last season

Every time I see Edwards, I'm watching someone run away from him. A blown signing it would seem, you're right.

I doubt he's embarassed, but bet he's feeling some pressure. If this year goes really poorly, which it may, he's undoubtedly out of a job. It would be unlikely he'd find another.

The real question is whether or not he has the wherewithal to actually make a positive trade.

Don't love the player, but agree that he should be feeling some onus here after a lackluster offseason.

Easier, not easy. You're not wrong or anything, just saying that Columbus is a lot easier to beat than New Jersey right now.

It was a bad start. Win the next two at home, and I'll forget about them pretty fast.

damn they are waiting in 4 hour lines in orlando for sand bags
