Great, as always. It was just looking better up 3-1, then down 4-3

I would love to hear what it is like in the locker room at the moment, like to get a feel of if players are smiling and happy, still getting paid well so not big deal, depressing, upset.

Some of these guys seriously do not belong in the NHL that is pretty obvious, I know Ruff is getting bagged, but Ruff doesn't tell them to go out there and miss assignments, let opposing players walk around them, let George Parros go and score. Pretty sad team at the moment, feel sorry for the Vanek/Pom/Hodgson, can't believe Myers is still playing on this team.

I wanted a blowout because I was chanting fire lindy all game!

Good news is Vanek is playing amazing and got another 3pts! 19pts in 8 games

I walked into the locker room and it was very quiet. Many players hanging their heads. They were clearly frustrated. I could tell by looking at Ennis and Stafford that they knew they missed an opportunity today.

Stafford, and the fact that he has an "A" on his jersey = a joke.

This team needs a good kick in the rear-end!
I don't know if it is Lindy, or it is the players, but something has to change!
Something has to happen.
Year in and year out, this team starts so so so bad, then they catch on fire when it is tooooo late. It seems like we are headed for the same direction again!
Fans deserve better, something has to change.
DO YOU HEAR ME DARCY??????
DO YOU HEAR ME MR. PEGULA??????

Fitting End.

Way to waste such a great start by Vanek.

Thanks for replying, so really seriously we are not experts we are fans and we are biased, but are some of these guys just not good enough for the NHL level, is it as simple as that, we are trying to make players that are not good enough, make it in the NHL ? Guys we thought might kick on, Stafford, Ennis, Gerbe I mean there must be serious questions raised about their ability to play in the NHL. Hecht we know should not be playing, the roster kind of looks bad.

He must be, pissed, frustrated, annoyed but also happy with the way his line is playing all at the same time.

This team right now sucks. There are players on this team that don't belong here. As for Lindy Ruff he has to go. His system is old and out dated for some of these young players. We need fresh blood. He more then likely will go some place and do well but so be it. It's team for the Sabres to move on. For Miller I think he's just an every day goalie he could be moved also.

stafford and gerbe, heck yes, but ennis tries really hard and is a pretty skilled player, c'mon man!

Ennis is good, and Stafford is a decent roleplayer on a talented team. Gerbe on the other hand... I have my doubts about his longevity in this league. Can't knock him for lack of effort, but I just don't think he's that good. Then again, we're still playing Ellis.

You can be the most skilled player there is, but if you can't score goals and take the punishment of the NHL, then you don't belong, talent, potential and skill takes you so far. I don't think a lot of players on the Sabres have that other factor that can enable them to make in the NHL. C'mon Man!

So what do you reckon is the result of the game if Ennis buries the break away ? WHen you saw him skating in, with nice speed I might add, did you actually think he was going to score ?

Yes.

Remember when we used to say Suckerea, now we wish he wasn't hurt so Lindy would be forced to bench Tyler "the truth" Myers.

Leo and Myers are terrible ....combined -14. Bottom of the league. Awesome.

Stafford, Ennis and Hecht all have NHL talent. You could argue we overpaid but thats another story. Gerbe I agree shouldnt be in a lineup. Too small, not talented enough to overcome it.

The Sabres didn't overpay for Hecht.........this year
