New Jersey was up 3-0 early in the 2nd. They played a conservative collapsing shell after that and made some of the Sabres numbers look better. They were never really competitive Was very similar to so many games last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only one game but not the opening statement you want to make with all of the talk in the offseason about how things were going to be different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only one game but not the opening statement you want to make with all of the talk in the offseason about how things were going to be different. Reaching back for Ruff was such a predictable move. Russ Brandon would have been proud. I have two questions that need answering before I attempt to give half of a damn about this years team. 1. Does Ruff still have the fire and drive to do what needs to be done with this group of gold bricking play doh molds? 2. Does Ruff have the juice with Terry to win a disagreement with Adams? If #1 is a yes, he will want to make moves fairly soon and it will be Adams' guys that he will want to banish to the press box and/or move out. Who will win that struggle?

Mike in Horseheads Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 (edited) 11 hours ago, Gregg said: It's weird that the Sabres and Devils are starting the regular season today with a lot of preseason games tonight. What kind of league has regular season and preseason games being played on the same day. MLB, when they open in Japan or Korea early still has exhibitions going on Edited October 5 by Mike in Horseheads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Well the refs still suck. Blatant targeting called on te ice then reversed on review. The remainder of this game should be used for payback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trust The Process Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 The Sabres suck. Embarrassing performance the first 2 games. They've gotten outplayed and outworked on just about every shift, and look slow and sloppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 So much for Ruffs revenge on his former team. I know it’s still real early but I woulda thought the Sabres would have started stronger. I can understand why Sabres fans would think fondly of Ruff but my 1st instinct with that hire is the team could do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Think of the bright side. They've saved us all so much time, money, and aggravation by showing us so early in the year that nothing has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanNC Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 What if it's not so much about coaching, systems, accountability and maximizing the potential of the roster talent? What if it's just that the roster talent is what it is and simply isn't good enough to win consistently against other NHL teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 They look the same as last year's team i.e. slow starts, falling behind early, ineffective power play, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Crikey! Utah's got an NHL hockey team. And that's what it's called for 2024-25. 🤔 * The home uniforms should be all white, with a UPC barcode as the crest. * I'll go back to sleep now. 😴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
