Jrb1979 Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Yes they started out slow again but they really young. It takes time for young teams to gel. They are at least exciting to watch this season.
plenzmd1 Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Amerks to the rescue? And no, I am not talking players Taylor >>>Housley
zow2 Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Losing 3 in a row. Here we go...sliding back towards the bottom. They get more shots which is good but can't finish. If they are really different the Sabres will stem the losing and win the next 3.

Don't shirk from your responsibility here for the disappointing endings. Have you ever considered that wishing for more victories might be better than settling for less? They really need to start scoring 6 goals a game and giving up 0.

I have a simpler wish: When on offense get in front of the net. A perplexing issue that repeatedly rears up its ugly head is why so often in the first period of games this relatively young team skates like they are old arthritic? It was apparent in the Calgary and Ottawa games.
plenzmd1 Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 @JohnC this stuff will never end on this guy...should have traded him two years ago as some smart guy on here kept advocating? https://buffalonews.com/2018/11/01/woman-sues-ex-sabre-evander-kane-alleging-he-coerced-her-into-having-abortions/?utm_medium=more_stories

Regardless, his risky behavior off ice is going to eventually jeopardize his career. I don't know of the smart person who was calling for his trade but at the time prior to his eventual trade he was one of the few goal scorers on an offensively impotent team. When can't be questioned is that getting rid of him was the right thing for the Sabres and him. He;s talented but undisciplined on and off the ice. 1

My gut is you got it set up to record on the old channel..wasn't it like 638 or something? there was a thread here where it was like ** sabres 638/other..somthing like that. the purpose of the code was to make sure it recorded the MSG feed first, if there was not one then record 220 or for you in caroilna whatever the hurricanes local is for when they played the Canes. And man, I am getting really frustrated with this new Genie interface. Cant get the Sabre games to record on right channel, recording go missing and have to go into history to find them, stops communication with the other DVRs connected and needs a reset like once a week...all common problems with the software, not the hardware. BTW, i am going to chat with them today..do you record on a genie or just regular DVR? It looks like my setup has the channel as 365 instead of 365-1. I don't know if that matters and I also have no clue how, if possible, to change it.

When I have some more time and beers in me, will call and talk to their technical folks. This Genie UI update is causing them headaches a plenty...plus just received a mail saying they offering a rebate on Sunday from last week as I guess that was a mess. I get it for free, so ain't gonna muddy the waters asking for $20 Yikes, remember when they had the best product and service ..not even all that long ago..

BillsFan4 Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Great first period (outside of the last few minutes anyway). I was hoping they’d come out fired up and I wasn’t disappointed. Now they need to keep their foot on the gas. They say that 3 goal lead can be the most dangerous (lead) in hockey... 1
