And not to single out Power. He is a 1 overall and paid like it and never has missed a game to injury because he never has touched another human being, but he is far from alone. Past Dahlin, almost every Sabre avoids contact like they are going to catch a plague from an opponent. Whether that’s winning battles or shot blocking at keys times. They don’t play with pain as they say.
Tuch is counting the days till his contract is up and he can sign with a real team and go win a Cup. He's got one more season after this year and he's a UFA.
Skinner through 29 games has 11 points and is a MINUS 8 in Edmonton. Mitts through 31 games has 21 points and is a MINUS 16. WOuld we be any better without these trades? I doubt it.
Pretty sure most players on colorodo are a minus because their goaltending is horrendous. Maybe now it will get better... but yeah Byram is clearly more needed in Buffalo. The team looks good on paper but defneitly lacks offense. They were 23rd in total points by players...22nd in shooting%...29th on PP... surprisingly played well defensively and had let's say mediocre goaltending.... 2 years ago they missed by 1 point...detorit also missed last year by a game or even just a tie breaker.... it's a tight league and playing in the Atlantic dosent help.... with Boston falling.... just looks like ottowa is that team ro squeeze in. Fla Tor and Tb are pretty much locks. Hard for me to say Tampa will fall eith Hedman Kuch Point Guentzel and Andrei... Seems like Boston just has Pasta and Marchand... Ottowa has Timmy Brady Ulmark Chabot Sanderson... Detorit has Larkin Raymond Seider and maybe ADB...Buffalo has Dahlin Thompson and maybe Power.... not enough fire power... Buffalo- needs an actual playmaker to play with Thompson and get more scoring depth. This year looks like their focusing more on defense... nothing to do with palm trees their but yeah... if stevive can do it in TB but not Det, their is some truth behind it... look at what NSH was able to do this offseason regardless of their success... having a low/no tax defenitly brings more opportunity....look at the hole toronto is in only because of the market. Like let's be honest, who dreams of playing for Buffalo.they were a top team a long time ago but yeah players wanted to play their because their team was actually stacked. Oh yeah and Miller is one of the best goalies to ever play.
I have never seen so much attention for the Sabres at the National Level than after that Adams press conference. Man, he has really made himself a laughing stock. FIRE THE MAN. Coach Q available?
We have a youth that hates hard work more than losing and they don’t listen to their coach. I would invite anyone wanting to know the Sabre problems to just watch the goals against in the Red Wings game. They are works of art of bad effort, and they are problems that have been here for years. Unchecked men in front, and lazy backchecks. Owen Power alone has a highlight reel of goals against of him having a dumb look on his face at the guy he should’ve checked in front. There is no chance Lindy told him to stick check that guy. The young players aren’t listening. Period.
We traded Eichel and Reinhart for Tuch, Kulich, Levi, Krebs, Östlund, and Riley Heidt. Imagine if Eichel and Reinhart were on our first line Thompson on the 2nd line Cozens as the third line center. with Peterka and Quinn mixed in.
Man, I think eichel really killed buffalo with the not being able to get his medical attention. On top of ny taxes and no playoffs for 14 years. No one can save buffalo bit the players on the ice.
I have never been this frustrated as a Sabres fan than I am now. I am tired of these losers. I have not heard a single player address the fans and ask for us to keep with them and believe in them. They still get paid win or lose so they really don't give a rip about us. I'm out!!!
You nailed it. Sabres were archaic with the Eichel situation. Just look at Hyde from the Bills. He got the surgery that the Sabres wanted for Eichel and Hyde’s had issues since meanwhile Eichel is feeling great
@ fear of the unknown. Eichel wanted a new surgery that was never done on a hockey player but scientifically shower promise to be the best surgery he could get to prolong his career and he was absolutely correct. All the Sabres doctors advised against it.
Several MMA fighters had that surgery and were still actively fighting if I remember correctly. Sabres medical advisors screwed the pooch for sure. His body.... his choice, I thought! 😮
You gotta ask yourself this question about this team. If they can do an 8 game losing streak, can they get an 8 game win streak? That question is laughable. And that is why this team cannot make it in this league. Just knowing that question isn't even fathomable, is why we as fans fold when we see them fold.
The players aren't good enough and that's the bottom line. How is Jordan Greenway ever a top 6 forward on a playoff team? C'mon guys it's time to dump anyone over 26 except Thompson. Time to rebuild (again)
Here is a name to consider: Mason McTavish. He is a young (21) center, with good size 6' 213 lbs, and sandpaper (86 PIM in 64 games, last season). He also had 19 goals and 23 assists last season. Might the Ducks trade him for - say - Quinn and a prospect?
This is the result when local media propaganda hype up #1 overalls like Dahlin and Power, when in history drafting a D man #1 overall has never worked in the NHL, this is what happens when you miss out on Crosby with the best % odds to get him, and McDavid when you were duped into thinking Eichel was anywhere near McDavids talent... this is what happens when you can't truly get a #1 forward at all, this team has nothing but 3rd and 4th liners , and dont fool yourself on Thompson, he gets alot of garbage goals when its nothing but padding stats, he doesnt HIT ANYTHING , he falls over when the wind blows, and skates so poorly and slowly when going back to defend, or he just doesnt care to hurry up and defend.. either way its disgusting. The worse thing is... there IS NO HOPE. . . the GM isnt the problem. . . the coach isnt the problem, the problem is you have NO NO NO NO NO one as a superstar forward.
Tuch is a huge part of the problem. Get rid of him. Cozens and Adam's need to go. Dahl's isn't the only difference maker. These guys are SOFT. A bunch of quitters. They take stupid penalties and seem to enjoy the track meets.
The thing I hated most about Kevin's interview is that he wasn't acknowledging that something needs to happen. I don't care how much you trust in your core It's clearly not working and they're not talented enough and even if you can't get high-end talent to come here what are you doing about it as our GM to at least try to make things better. It just looks like he's trying to do nothing and just sitting on his hands
Team needs to learn to shoot top shelf. Watch Utah's goals. It's hard to keep watching this team. I guess we are going to get another good draft after this year again.
Whoever made that line in the sand for Eichel crushed this team. Whatever happened to HIS BODY HIS CHOICE? These Doctors clearly suck and they should never be allowed near the Sabres or Bills.
He was an investment. I’d still be hesitant to allow a player an unknown surgery when the other surgery has been performed on top tier athletes every single year. The team has say in that process
Good D ?WTF Have you watched any games this season . Sabres have too many Soft puck moving D men and not enough toughness and grit back there. Power needs to be paired with a stay at home veteran D man and Adams has failed to find one! One Hit a year Jokiharju is not the answer! Besides making a trade or two Adams needs to fire Marty Wilford asap. Go hire ex Chicago Black hawks head coach Luke Richardson as he could teach Power how to actually play D .

I agree. To me it all comes down to physicality and effort. It's non-existant. This teams so weak.
@@horaceball5418 cliffy and gilbert and greenway are about the only ones
Welcome back hope you feeling better
Tuck looks to me like he has given up.
He might end up being the next O'Rielly.
That's my fear as well. He will want out
Friar Tuck?
Tuch is counting the days till his contract is up and he can sign with a real team and go win a Cup. He's got one more season after this year and he's a UFA.

Rob Blake got the Kings back into the playoffs after Four years with TRADES. Hiring 3 inexperienced GM's after Darcy Reiger IS the problem

Don't forget Jordan Greenway
That's what this team should've been. Eichel was the fly in the ointment with his injury and demand to be moved. Then everything unraveled.
Yep……..imagine what could be
we would not even be close to the cap as this idea would cost over 12M more

I left and came to Florida. Instant PAY RAISE and gorgeous weather!
@Aviation_Professional i moved to western detroit burbs. Not much of an upgrade. Gas is cheaper. That's about it.
Lets keep losing so we can finally fire the GM, coach, and assistant coaches.
FIRE PEGULA!!!
Yes!! Finally someone else sees this!!

Peterka=Jeff skinner. Seems like he only likes to play good agiasnt hot spots like LA or NYR )on away games)
Skinner scored now and then.
Broken record Buffalo. Blame management, blame ownership, blame the players, blame the fans, blame injuries, blame the.... palm trees!
The players aren't good enough and that's the bottom line.
How is Jordan Greenway ever a top 6 forward on a playoff team?
C'mon guys it's time to dump anyone over 26 except Thompson. Time to rebuild (again)
You want to dump Tuch?? I wouldn’t
Give Ruff the GM and let him pick his own coach
Why is this team so cursed? All these years and we can't correct this train wreck.
The best part about the red wings game was the bandits ornaments and shirts that were available pregame 💀
There is a list of 40 NHL players without trade protection
And how many are worth a shit
I've been sick also. Sick of the sabres
Here is a name to consider: Mason McTavish. He is a young (21) center, with good size 6' 213 lbs, and sandpaper (86 PIM in 64 games, last season). He also had 19 goals and 23 assists last season. Might the Ducks trade him for - say - Quinn and a prospect?
Why would they. McTavish is exactly what Ana's coach and GM want

The GM knows he's in over his head. He's insecure about it. They are the worst franchise in pro sports s
That’s a bit of a stretch

Joe's greatest love is ripping on the Sabres. Must have killed him to miss 2 losses.
Gotta play in pain bro! We need your insight.
I would say go get wahlstrom on waivers but we don’t need another 24 year old that can’t score….
Team needs to learn to shoot top shelf. Watch Utah's goals. It's hard to keep watching this team. I guess we are going to get another good draft after this year again.
It's a lot easier to want to play when you're winning. These young guys are folding and it is snowballing. The team suffers.
You probably going to let Cousins go only because of a bad contract.
Glad you are back. You missed nothing
lol, did you just say sabres and smart hockey decisions in the same sentence

I saw Luke Richardson up close. He has nothing to teach Owen Power
Power was known for not being physical before the draft. Grit is what the Sabres lack. we have skaters not hockey players
McDermott’s gotta go.
Bring back Harvey Johnson!
