GDT: Devils Sabres in Prague Game 1, 1 p.m. EDT, 7 p.m CEST

[Chainshot]

For a supposedly offensively active defense, they have one shot from the entire unit.

 

[MOGlLNY]

The inability of the top line to put two men on the puck to win possession is a multi-year problem.

Line 1 has been abysmal. Line 2 has been pretty bad. Line 3 has been serviceable. Line 4 has been good.

 

[sabremike]

Pretty sure he was traded because they really like Byram. Unless you think they’re also going to turn around and near immediately trade him “because they already paid Dahlin and Power”.

So they made two bad decisions instead of just one because Byram look like crap?

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Oh my just looked at the scoreboard.
Is it as bad as it looks?

It’s like watching a team of McDavid vs. a team of the 1995-96 Florida Panthers

 

[Tsujimoto]

Only gave up one goal that period. They're already showing improvement!

 

[SabresFan26]

Boring period incoming. NJD lock it up in the third, we score one to make it interesting but they add the ENG and it ends 4-1.

 

[Fjordy]

It's looks very bad, Slow, boring...

 

[DapperCam]

I’m starting to think these guys are having a little bit too much fun on their European vacation.

 

[Ace]

trade sucked at the time, still sucks now. Don't trade your best performing forward for a slumping defenseman.

Who are you to doubt Kevyn Adams and his successful resume as a the best selling hot dog vendor outside of Harbor Center!

 

[joshjull]

For a supposedly offensively active defense, they have one shot from the entire unit.

They're too tired to attack after scrambling in their own end for so long.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Same team. People keep telling me Zucker is an upgrade over Skinner and not just a cash savings for Pegula

 

[Chainshot]

Line 1 has been abysmal. Line 2 has been pretty bad. Line 3 has been serviceable. Line 4 has been good.

Thought the McLeod line had some good moments - drew a penalty, had that later turnover off the RW wall that they funneled to the net.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Alex Tuch is the softest power forward I’ve ever seen.

 

[Dubi Doo]

The inability of the top line to put two men on the puck to win possession is a multi-year prproblem.

I was iffy putting Peterka with them. You have three players who'd rather dangle around than fight for position on the ice. None of them are smart with the puck on their stick either.

 

[Intermission]

Score doesn't reflect Devils 16 giveaways.

Buffalo has been more erratic, but are no way supposed to be getting shut out.

 

[Ehran]

If tomorrow this team tries to tell me that Kulich can't crack the lineup against these forwards....

I mean... come on now. Really?

 

[Chainshot]

They're too tired to attack after scrambling in their own end for so long.

The entire team still seems to not understand how to pin a man out or knock a man down around the crease.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Byram and Power have been solid I think. Samuelson and Clifton beyond the obvious pizza from Sammy have been invisible which is ok for a 3rd pairing.

Jokiharju has been abysmal

 

[Chainshot]

If tomorrow this team tries to tell me that Kulich can't crack the lineup against these forwards....

I mean... come on now. Really?

I mean, the most ass forward today wears a letter and centers the first line.

 

[Tsujimoto]

It’s like watching a team of McDavid vs. a team of the 1995-96 Florida Panthers

Didn't the 1995-96 Panthers make the Stanley Cup Finals?

 

[K8fool]

Thought the McLeod line had some good moments - drew a penalty, had that later turnover off the RW wall that they funneled to the net.

Cozens looking well. They all look like they haven’t played an nhl team w speed in weeks

 

[Daz28]

Alex Tuch is the softest power forward I’ve ever seen.

It's gotten me in arguments before, but I find Tage and Tuch hard to consider power forwards.

 

[elchud]

They told us the bottom 6 was the problem ... and they fixed the bottom 6 ...

 

[5 Minute Major]

My early overreaction prediction….Devon Levi will be the clear #1 goalie on the team by mid November.

 

[Chainshot]

Well, to invert the Sabres performance, I will not be watching much if any of the third period. I have people to pick up from work. Later all. Hope they fill the nets while I'm away, they certainly didn't while I was here.
