It's getting to the point where they should just be BU. Having games where we throttle our opponents are great, but mean absolutely nothing if we can't make the playoffs.I've not been home in four hours, surprised someone didn't do it. I have also thought maybe it's time to change it up. The first 13 years or so of doing them, they were a good team ('98-2011), the last 13 have been pain.
Why are we taking Zucker out? Admittedly I didn't watch as i had to work but the numbers make it look like he was one of our better forwards. Do the numbers not match the eye test?Team wasn't ready to play. Again. Under a new coach with ample NHL experience. Uh, maybe it's the players.
They were half a step slower than the Devils all game, and were often out of position.
One decent period doesn't cut it.
The pressure is on already, to avoid a 0-2 start.
Out: 6K (who was fine), NAK (injured?), Zucker
In: Levi, Kulich, Krebs
I'm a bigger fan of Joki than most, but get him off the top pair.

Thought he was up there but Byram was the top of my list.Zucker might have been their best player.

I think we just invented loser 3 stars!Thought he was up there but Byram was the top of my list.
Is that real? Because it felt like everytime I thought to myself "we need to win this draw" they would lose it and be sent down the ice (All of these were in the ozone and usually on the power play)
I'm up for it when there's a win streak.I've not been home in four hours, surprised someone didn't do it. I have also thought maybe it's time to change it up. The first 13 years or so of doing them, they were a good team ('98-2011), the last 13 have been pain.
So do or centers and there is no safeguard shouldn't they work out.Idk man the defense looked pretty dogshit to me and Byram was one of the few decent looking players.
I’d say they got equal talented players. Both players have their pros and cons to their game that make them enticing to add. What’s done is done, no point in rehashing the motivations of the move and getting mad all over again, hahaha.The one thing that I don’t get about the Mittlestadt trade was the timing. The Sabres were going nowhere last season. Why not just wait until the off-season when you have a better market? I truly believe there would have been a bit of a bidding war for Casey in July. Say what you will but Colorado clearly received the better player.
I thought they looked absolutely horrid: constantly botching plays, terrible execution, endlessly bobbling/mishandling pucks, constant mental mistakes and didn't look ready at all. And really NJ didn't even get out of first gear and it was over before the halfway mark.No, that’s real. They had more takeaways than Jersey, a few turnovers, fairly close and hits. They didn’t have wa competent first line. I would also add Quinn and JJ to my where the f*** were they today.
I noticed JJ a few times, he also got the assist but after hyping up Quinn all off season that dude played like when he was on the IR (non existent)No, that’s real.

Zucker was okay. He might have handled that ill-advised Samuelsson pass that led to NJD's first goal a bit better. He didn't stand out to me. If his fancy stats suggest otherwise, fine.Best forward, imo. Have to agree Byram was probably their best overall.
I'd put Benson third, if for nothing else than he gave 100%.I think we just invented loser 3 stars!
1)Byrum
2)Zucker
3) Was there one ?
Cozens had a good game IMO. Had a few scoring chances, problem is he was impatient and shot a little too early on both.I think we just invented loser 3 stars!
