OFFICIAL '07-'08 BUFFALO SABRES SEASON THREAD

So the powerplay still sucks, and the penalty kill isn’t much better.

Picking up right where they left off, but now we don’t have Briere or Drury for the miracle goal with seconds left to tie it up.

And the free agent line of the Islanders is going to get them a lot of goals this year.

powerplay wasn’t what killed us

Didn’t say it was. It would just be nice if we had one.

yea…powerplay wasn’t as bad as the PK. Defense looked like shit. But oh well… it’s the first game. Hopefully they will do better tonight

in on 1.

:tspry:

Offense is still plenty high powered, and looked good early. Defensively, we were horrendous. Sloppy puck movement in the 3rd was painful to watch as well.

I thought the powerplay actually looked good. they had movement, had some chances. DiPietro made some amazing saves.

so our special teams went a combines 0-7, PK allowing 3 goals on 3 chances, PP goes oh for four

awesome

lydman continues to blow…how th FUCK did he misplay that one where comrie burned him, at least comries goal was siqqqqqqq

actually, i’d rate that our entire defense blows…ive never seen such sloppy and unorganized defense from this team in a long while

i say trade kalinin for a used towel and start priming card and funk for their soon to be realized roles

i was also INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED by the play of connoly, hecht, and pominville except for one shift where TC burned everyone and almost scored from his knees…other than that they blew

our fourth line of ryan, gaustad, and peters held the isles in check for two periods…and then got no ice time after that…

and did i mention our defense sucked? they left miller out to dry on every goal…i hardly blame miller for the loss…

and for those inquiring about my stafford jersey:

ugh they are leaving miller out to dry again. wtf is with this defense?!

a glimmer of hope for tonight?

under review…

ok this is a physical game i have high hopes for them to tie it up.

PP unit has to come up big here

they do the same fucking thing every single power play, its no wonder why they cant score

yup, they were looking good but turning it up with 5 minutes in the 3rd is worthless wne they are 2 down. The d is gonna have alot of work to do.

i agree 100% They absolutely need to protect the net better

Pathetic

+1

that one goal was Pathetic.

Anybody else hate the play of Paille and Ryan? They just don’t fit. I’d rather have Zagrapan and Kaleta up then those two. (Sorry MrPoo!)

i would love to see kaleta back up there

as for overall play, its just the beginning, i have faith!
