    The Sabres control the game, it's not even that fair for the other teams from what I have seen. If these were 2 of the top teams, we're going to be there everynight. I'm talking like getting 80% of the available points (~118). That might seem unrealistic but these guys are good.

      Hell yeah they do!!

      - much, much, much better power play. Ehrhof, Adam, Pommie, Vanek, Roy, MA-Grags, Stafford, Leino, pick your poison!!!

      - Off line depth is unreal. Every line, literally, has a shot to score every shift!!

      - Leino is the real deal. He is tough, hustles his *** off, and plays great defense.

      - Miller has looked terrifc.

      - Gerbe, Ennis, MA-Grags, Adam, Myers are all young, very talented, and will only get better and better.

      - We keep the puck, 5 vs. 5, in the off. zone so much better. Dump and chase is better, and net traffic is tougher, which leads to more reb. goals.

      - it's only 2 games like ya said, but yeah, this team is really, really ****ing good!!

        it's going to get much, much harder, It's like Lindy says "there's going to be some good times and there's going to be some bad times".

        home to Carolina, @ Pittsburgh, (a place where the Sabres haven't won since 2008 & it's another back to back.) @Montreal, @ Florida, @ Tampa Bay, home to Tampa Bay, home to Columbus and home to Florida and that ends October part of the schedule.

          He being modest, I've watched the FL team play while living here. Tampa is good but has huge defensive lapses & the Panthers look choppy at best. Montreal is good as well but not past their 2nd line.

          Pittsburgh looks to be a challenge but without Crosby there, I'm feeling pretty good about the whole gig.

                  I think we all expect a 100 pt season at minimum...

                  Hopefully we stay healthy... but I am anticipating a solid year and a deep playoff run from this team... so my expectations are high.... This was a nice way to start

                    I also think Luke Adam will be a rookie of the year candidate.

                    He's got the size and ability to set up Vanek and Pommenville for a lot of goals. He can put up a 25 goal/ 45 assist season
