    I Know Its Only Preseason But...

    Miller got stroked up 3 goals on the first five shots by the Wild tonight. The Sabres have only won one game so far in preseason and they had to come back in the last seconds to do that. I know these games are absolutely meaningless, so I am not calling for panic to set in, but shouldn't this team be getting honed in a little more by now considering the real bullets start flying in a little over a week, especially Miller

    Meaningless. Also regular blueliners weren't in Rivet, Weber.

      From what I have seen so far, this team reminds me exactly of last year's team. I just hope that the defense can get better for Miller.

        If that's so we're in trouble.

          Except for the fact that half the guys playing in these games aren't even going to be on the roster next week...

            I place less stock in the NHL preseason than I do in the NFL's.

              This Sabre fan isn't too worried about the pre-season. Besides, if this team plays like it did last year, at least in the second half of the season, we will have home ice advantage for the 1st round of the playoffs.

              If our defense improves, which it really should considering the personnel changes, and we can remain relativelly injury free (Connolly), we will be happy with the results of the upcoming season. I didn't even mention the offensive improvements which should also be coming from guy like Roy and Vanek getting older and better. I guess I did just mention them.

                It would seem that Miller decided that the first period was his own personal warm-up time. Believe me, I was freaking out and getting pissed.
                That being said, you NEVER know what's going to happen in a hockey game.

                  They have been giving up a lot of shorthanded goals on the powerplay.

                      One of them was a bounce off of Teppo's stick and was fluky.

                      Part of it is the aggression by the Sabres PP unit. They need to reel that in or need to stop the breakaways better.

                        And that was definitely one of our biggest problems last year....

                          Can we please wait until a few games into the regular season before we get concerned? Like said before, considering that a decent amount of these guys will be back in the AHL by opening night, I wouldn't take too much stock in the pre-season.

                              What was it doing down at their end on their powerplay for it to happen to begin with?
