There is no structure to the Sabres defense. They constantly leave a Leaf open in their own zone. Ice awareness is non existent.

There is zero 2nd effort and intensity on the puck. the forecheck is leisurely ensuring that they never acquire the puck. They are content to play at a comfortable beer league pace. Mostly as individuals playing their own singular.

This is completely inexcusable. Ruff has to see this. It's intolerable that he allows it to continue.

The lack of confidence from Granato's teams is back - they don't trust one another to play their position and cheat over leaving wide open spaces.

It's not the only issue, but it's a regular big one.

No offense but Dahlin should be shown the door as well and not because he’s a bad player. He is a good player. But not an 11 million dollar a year player or even close to that.

. There are no untouchables on this awful roster.
The day how much money Dahlin makes matters is the day we have a new owner.

I kind of question that he wasn't pushed into the crease. The defenseman has his stick extended with both hands in Zucker's back.
