Young teams are inconsistent and that just sums up this year. It will take time. I'd still say they are heading in the right direction

We’re a really young team
Gonna be it’s of ups & downs this year
With youth, comes inconsistency

- jdfitz77


We are making the leagues worst team in the NHL look like a playoff team.

This is not good and age is an excuse when playing the coyotes.

Sure thag excuse if fine vs Tampa

But eventually they need to step up

And literally no one is doing it

3 straight loses...There's the sabres I remember

Remember, the analytics department "targeted" Comrie. He wasn't the leftovers of two off-seasons worth of a goalie search. I don't know which scenario is more pathetic, frankly.

When do some of the analytics geniuses get in front of a mic and answer questions?

Comrie isn’t the problem.

Cozens tipped in 2 goals

A pass cross to a wide open coyote isn’t on Comrie.

And I forgot the last one.

Analytics did fine with Comrie.

I still think Cozens owns this L more than Comrie. Although the whole team was bad

Until Dahlin is signed long term, the countdown is on until he leaves for greener pastures. Why would he want to relegate himself to this?

LaFontaine
Mogilny
Hasek
Vanek
Drury
Briere
Miller
Campbell

Guys of this caliber don't end their careers in Buffalo. Why would Dahlin?

9 games played this season for Comrie. He let in 2 one time. It's been 3, 4, or 5 every other time. Career backup for a reason. NHL goalies make saves on tips, one timers, break aways, and flubs. Comrie makes excuses more than saves. Well, Comrie fans make excuses; he just stinks.

It was a bad game, it happens to the best teams
See: Bills vs Jets

Not something I’m gonna worry about
Sabres are still likely a year away
And still need to figure out goaltending

We'll be saying that 365 days from now.

And, people will still think Adams is a pro.

Generally curious how many fans will be in for Vegas.

The emotion game was last year. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the building half full at best again.
