Stepping back from the ledge: a win tomorrow puts them 3-1 in their first four with a win over three teams that have given them fits in recent years. A very healthy spot IF they can put it together.

And now is when we all start to wonder if F-E-S isn't going to work out, this is what we all dreaded.

Couldn't handle a puck clean to save his life, every shot hits shinpads...he's not physical in the least.

Oh, I agree with that, but there's a whole other level going on beneath that :laugh:.

Where was this new Sabres tonight? Don't think I saw 5 hits all night. Looked like the same ol Sabres to me.

Oh and Myers ****ing sucks.

Take that 11M + you're making this year and shove it up your ass

Yeah, it's just one game, strong effort tomorrow and we're fine. Tonight's effort was brutal though, they better come out flying tomorrow.

Myers-Leopold was bad. They need more then one line scoring goals. Ennis, Foligno and Stafford need to wake the **** up.

Also, isn't this like 10 or 11 straight losses for Enroth now?

G: Highlight goal from Vanek to Pommers. Grigo getting more time in the 3rd.

B: FES, get to work, that is it, get to work. We saw some in the 3rd. Get going. Lindy, let Grigo loose.

U: Myers: Please do something to make me realize that you are in fact not a huge BUST.

- Give Brennan his shot
- Give Grigs prime offensive time as a last chance before he gets sent down
- Demote Foligno


- Watch team implode

G. we still have an offensive threat from our first line. (VHP)

B. secondary scoring has yet to show up.

U. defensive breakdowns
giveaways
face-offs

Note: Might have been interesting had Enroth not let in a couple softies.

I may be biased cause I play goalie, but Enroth was a rebound machine and was very weak on decisions/coverage. EX: 5 goal 1 handed stick goal. WEAK, should've never opened his legs on that.

The short handed goal was everyone's fault, but Enroth was way out of position, when he wound up from the circles.

The Foligno - Ennis - Stafford line needs to get broken up.

G: Vanek
B: Passing, Enroth, Hodgson, Defensemen not from Germany
U: The Powerplay 0/6 with a goal against, NO ONE GOING NEAR E. STAAL? Leopold flat-footed on the goal to make it 5-3 and Myers backs off when there is an open net? AND FACEOFFS? Never thought I'd miss Gaustad.

He was absolute trash tonight especially for a guy who has been playing in games.

Decision-making in general

We kill ourselves by shooting into players and forcing passes. We need to take what we get more often.

G: As far as first games of the season go, Enroth is on par with Corey Schneider.
B: Schneider sucked in his first game.
U: I think Staal has herpes.

These would be my lines tomorrow...

VHP
Ennis-Grigs-Staff
Foligno-Ott-Kaleta
Scott-Hecht-Gerbe

Have to try to light a fire to get the secondary scoring going somehow. The 2nd line explains itself and moving Foligno to the 3rd line may remind him how he needs to play the game along side of two bangers.

You don't judge a season by one game but this team's weakness going in was down the middle and it has showed the last two games. Got a bit lucky in Toronto. Team sucks in the dot, really sucks. Not sure that can be fixed without a trade which won't happen. Our PP needs to be better and it can be. The D is solid.
Overall, will have games like tonight. Team is pretty much as expected, a 5-10 team with good young talent coming up that will need Miller to make playoffs and win a round.
People expected more?

I've been a big Grigorenko fan for awhile but couldn't watch him tonight since Montreal was in play. Did he create any offense tonight? 2 more games, correct..does he make the team?
