Good
Lord. You must be fun at parties.

I don't get you people, yes it's preseason and it doesn't matter in the standings. But you would think people would want to see a bit better. Playing a sound system doesn't just happen or magically appear. There was No semblance of anything other than what are goalie's went through last year. I hope it gets better and they adapt or else your just throwing your young goalie to the Wolves.

Mfw they didn't get a proven top-4 dman or an established goalie and the team looks the same as last year


- Hank Balling


they didn’t upgrade the defensive bench boss, bales is still here and Upl has the same issues

This organization hedges instead of taking a swing…

Hedge with 3 goalies for 2 years

Hedge with mediocre d men that can take a bigger role

Hedge with just adding more damn prospects when there is Zero room for them all

Hedge with stick with defensive black hole after an injury

Hedge with bringing both old ass players that have presided over nothing but failure. But meh leadership, wtf have they ever lead? Tank wars?

Hedge with zero upgrades on the bench, can’t make meatball look bad. The team might gravitate toward Peca in pressure situations… bales is well regarded in the league, never mind weve seen zero growth in Upl and Commrie. Wait till that stiff ruins Levi or at least doesn’t help the kid grow. It’s ok Anderson is around, yeah great, cause he helped Upl so much last year.

This organization and its leadership is indecisive, weak and has no nuts. Sometimes you need to take an f ing swing

No wonder Dahlin hasn’t signed…. Why would he? Who wants to spend 8 years in a sac-less organization that keeps pairing him with sub par talent. F Clifton too, I don’t need pre season games. I’d send your ass right to Rochester. You look like an ahl player, go play there you f ing pylon

Adam’s you balding frank, you’ve made me go half beady. Now go find your f ing sac! Is it in Kim’s purse still?

Clifton with Power is not a good experiment either:

Or with Samuelson:

Pulling for him simply because it's one step closer to being rid of Olo.

Good Post.

I expected a commitment to playing sound defensively, sadly it appears it isn't happening.
I'll give it some time, but there isn't much we have seen that would cause one to have confidence in it happening

I hope they pull it together to and hopefully it doesn't take the first 20 or 30gms, cause it could mean the season. Can't stand when people say preseason doesn't matter, the only thing that doesn't matter is the standings. This was the time to implement especially breaking in New players, and teaching the young players the supposed system.

After watching Clifton in preseason games, he would not be on my final Sabres roster. Boston not playing him in their final playoffs games should have been a good warning sign not to sign him

To not expect too much too soon on the new guys, I'd update the defense pairings to the below (note that I am no Jokiharju fan, but not a lot of options):

Dahlin - Samuelsson
Power - E. Johnson
Clifton - Jokiharju

None of the above is optimal, but this is the bed they've made as an organization.

You realize players aren’t going 100% during the preseason games?

This is probly a washedup alt account. So I am sorry for responding

This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Yes a guy learning a new system and team shouldn't be trying a 100%, especially after the sh!t show he had his 1st game. The F@cking excuses on here are pathetic.

Crosby agrees with you:

Crosby: "I think we've improved as the preseason’s gone on. We've got a lot of new faces - and it's not easy for guys when they come to a new team... As a group, we've come a long way since the first day of camp. It's a process, so we'll just try to continue to get better.”

The wannabe mascot makes himself look like the moron he is thinking this entire site is me with alt accounts.

He has been very clear where he stands, the Sabres roster has no room for improvement, Adams crushed it this off-season.

Even if you add 17% to Clifton’s game for regular season effort?

I’m really hoping they keep Savoie up and run him in the top 9 with Peterka and Cozens.

Both Benson and Savoie are way too good for the WHL.
