The Sabres looked better coached to me than a lot of teams, they play with a really nice structure and their guys are bought in. Not sure if they have the high end talent to make it work all season but it's cool to see a team play like a team.

This is like the seventh year running now that Sabres fans have gotten overly hype for the team early in the season, although I think game 1 might be the earliest this has happened. They’ve gotta be right sometime, why not this year!

Remember a couple years ago when they won 10 straight in November?

th3t00t posted:I know it was just 1 game but... remember when everyone said the Sens and Redwings had pulled away from the Sabres due to winning the offseason? 4-1 Sabres over Sens. Sabres looked better than I expected, but 2 of those 4 goals were into an empty net in the last minute. bub spank fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Oct 14, 2022 |

th3t00t posted:?! The Sabres had a hot start in 18-19 and 19-20. 2 years does not equal the last 7. I really do appreciate the endless optimism, and I’m not being sarcastic about that Spelling Mitsake posted:lol, I love how Buffalo usually starts pretty good out of the gates before getting back into their ways. Remember a couple years ago when they won 10 straight in November? If early season for the Sabres is like the regular season for the Leafs then February-April is their Round 1 equivalent. Same football, different timescale.

Keefe letting slip in the postgame that the coaching staff is considering summary execution as a motivational tactic https://twitter.com/dalter/status/1580751816425230336?s=46&t=sf1XtTYwDnAW_G5eUBTl6A I don’t condone it, but sending Murray or Muzzin to the glue factory would fix a lot of cap problems

Wild are going nowhere with Fleury as their main goalie Also based off one game they need more than one line that is consistently threatening (though that one line is terrifying) Rangers kinda got sloppy at times and especially turned the puck over in dumb ways in their own zone more than a few times but I’ll take the result we got

They clearly have problems, Carlson and the Power Play being the obvious, age another, but it’s not dogshit garbage tier. Both goalies have looked good. They have gotten goals (pretty much exclusively) from their depth. The old man line looked poo poo last night. And the top line has not been dangerous like a top line should be. Hopefully they can sort things out against the Habs.

Koopa Kid posted:I really do appreciate the endless optimism, and I’m not being sarcastic about that Then on top of that they lost 500 man games to injury from October to February, which was 2nd to Montreal. Over the course of the season the Sabres slowly added new pieces to the line up. Like Samuelsson and Bryson from Rochester, Tuch and Krebs from the Eichel trade. Then they all got healthy in March and the Sabres broke out of their round 1 equivalent. They went 16-9-2 in March+April, with only 8 of those games against non playoff teams. Including 3-0 against the Maple leafs. More wins than in the previous 4 seasons March+April’s combined, against the hardest strength of schedule in the league during that stretch. It was the first time we had any optimism to end a season in 11 years.

Washington needs to put McMichael in the lineup tomorrow. It’s baffling that he didn’t get a lineup spot to open the year. I appreciate what Lars Eller did for the Capitals in 2018 but he was dogshit last year and has been poo poo this year. He shouldn’t be blocking McMichael’s spot in the lineup.

I’ve only seen about 2 of those power plays that looked good and just wouldn’t go. I’m pretty sure Ovi rang the pipe on at least 2-3 of them. But yeah, it’s trash.

Went to the Pens opener and had a blast. Arizona looked like garbage and did get better as they game went on, but it’s kind of crazy to think there are two or three other teams who could be worse than them.

still cannot fathom the coaching decision that led to Erik Haula playing on the first line PP over Jesper Bratt I kept waiting for the classic win a faceoff then sprint to the bench to get Bratt on, but no Lindy Ruff is the worst coach in the NHL

I remember allegedly after the Muzzin puck flip that Tkachuks Calgary teammates had told him to cut back on his bullshit because they were sick of getting in dumb scrums for no reason Watching the Panthers highlights and he started some poo poo with Matt Martin between the whistles leading to everyone on the ice hugging each other. I can totally see that getting old fast, why start poo poo with the Isles 4th line, what’s the benefit of getting inside Matt Martins head?
