We have been a 3 line team for most of this period and its allowed the Leafs back into the game. Unlike the Yotes the leafs love to attack and will pounce on an advantage like that.

This is the first game I have watched in a while; a couple observations:
This team is no different under Nolan. Still don't play a full game and passing is not NHL caliber.
What the heck is Nolan doing with Foligno?!?! Can you please play him more and stop with the Scott as a regular player BS.
Ott is totally worthless.
Miller is still playing on his knees.
Stafford still can't find the back of the net.
So the things I noticed, as things change, they still stay the same.
Can't wait till Nolan and a bunch of these crap players are gone.
Also, where the heck is the GM?!? Do we really plan on just losing these UFA for nothing at the end of the season?!?

Thanks I needed that.And the rest of your post is an emotional rant to the circumstances of the game. The team is without question playing better under Nolan. If you can't see that then.............

Goodness.
When you have Flynn getting big minutes and John Scott getting regular shift you are gonna have a bad time.
Clearly the flu is still affecting this team, they look very leg weary.

Foligno doesn't deserve the ice time really; he hasn't been very good at all lately.
Miller's been the LEAST of the Sabres' concerns this year -- there's a reason why the national media are hyping him up as Team USA's starter unless Quick comes back at 100%.
There is a HUGE change with the Sabres' effort under Nolan....the results are kind of the same though because of the absolute dearth of talent, especially offensively.
And we're gonna have a bunch of crap players next year too -- might want to come back in 16/17......

That entire line is recovering from the flu and it showed from the get go. They all looked very sluggish from the start of the game. Now they are sitting and we are reduced to a 3 line team.

Yeah....you can tell that the "FLU line" of Omark/Leino/Folingo have next to nothing in the tank. It wouldn't shock me at all if we really went to 3 lines again in the 3rd.....

As long as this team progresses the rest of the year I'm happy, we aren't making the playoffs. As long as the young Players develop I'm happy

Sabres win a few games in a row so BloFan4Life watches his team again. Comes back to posting and it's a terrible post.
Could copy and paste that every year.

Zemgus continues to impress and Pysyk is himself -- steady eddie for the most part.
It'll be interesting to see which young kids make the roster next year.

I think things were "FLOing" out of that line quite nicely the last week...........

Yep Folgino/Leino/Omark had 2 shifts in that period, none in the last 10 minutes. I can't imagine they are all fully recovered--this might be a case of if Rochester wasn't an ocean away we might see some guys still sitting out. Nolan's short on bodies.
