    Well, that sucked...

    Pretty simple analysis...

    1-Zero PP goals
    2-Rask was Miller's equal, at least
    3-Boston's skaters outplayed Buffalo's across the board

    Too many average players, a little short on studs.

        It was a valiant effort at the end, but the overall game effort was pathetic. I don't think they played horrible the whole series, but 0fer on the PP, and unimpressive PK really was the difference. It was a good series, the team that won got more bounces and quite honestly played better. Not sure where the team goes from here, in regards to changes in the offseason.

          No Vanek and Hecht = loss. Our little guys are complimentary players and they need Vanek on the ice to buy themselves some space. Pominville has to be spoonfed to score a goal. Roy absolutely can't make plays without Vanek.

          Easy to see who our two best attackers are at the end of a series like this. It's Vanek and Hecht lol.

          Frustrating officiating all series. Doesn't matter really because we put up a goose egg on the power play. But really how is that last icing not called???

          I pretty much blame Grier for losing that double OT game and putting us in this position.

          Waste of a season.

            My take:

            I loved Ennis and hope he gets a scorer to play with next year.

            I like Gerbe, threw around every ounce he had. At least he does this, more than some guys his size and bigger do.

            Have to get rid of at least two: Roy, Pomminville, Stafford and Connolly

            Hopefully Weber plays the blue line next year and they don't try to resign Lydman

                  We have players that don't give a crap as it is. We don't need another one.

                    Sabres will NEVER sign him at $10 million per season.

                      Sabres shouldn't sign him.

                      He wouldn't fit the system and it's an unnecessary addition.

                        the NHL is at a weird stage with salaries. with a stagnant salary cap, it's impossible to sign "great" players. the sabres have connolly, pominville and roy at about $16MM. The cap is just over $50MM. That's 30% of the budget on 3 incredibly heartless players.

                        i liked gerbe trying to check chara in the corner yesterday. 100% effort.

                          Unless he goes back to Atlanta, no one will sign him for that. I think he will take a 1 or 2 year deal for 6-7 million and try again when the cap goes up. As far as "the system"....If the system is not scoring goals- then yes- he does not fit the system

                            Except this "system" never works. It's time to go do a different "system"

                              Are you sure about that? Or is it that they never play the system like it is intended?
