...I'll start. Soft with no heart.

Re: Describe this team...

The only thing I can think of right now is "overly talented"

They've relied on bein more skilled to win all year long... but it's the playoffs now, grit, determination, and heart win games and series this time of year.

Re: Describe this team...

lol!

Over-reacting like fans.

Let's give the Rangers some credit too. They are playing perfectly.

No doubt the Sabres need to pick it up. But this is not just on them.

Re: Describe this team...

I just wish the players showed as much passion as the fans...These Sabres fans have showed more passion than any team's fans this season.

Re: Describe this team...

how can you say they have no heart after they tied that game up and got a bad break?

I'm not over reacting.... I didn't say they're done, it's over, they can't win the series. They seriously need to re-evaluate what they are doing however. Skill alone is not going to win this for them in my opinion, so they need to stop relying on simply that. The defense and Miller have played quite well, they've only given up 4 goals in essentially 7 and a half periods over these two games, but the offense is looking pathetic to say the least... and yes, the Rangers have a little something to do with that as well.

LOL, some of you guys are pretty funny. It is a tough series. If it makes you feel better, go and look at last year's first round against Philly.

To show up and play playoff hockey for the last 10 minutes of the game showed they can do it and proves they played with no heart the first 50 minutes.

That was not directed towards you. You jumped in while I was responding.

The people that say it is over or they are soft are over-reacting. The people who expect them to win every game 5-1 are over-reacting.

Re: Describe this team...

We lost this game more than the Rangers won it. Judging by the brief times we've turned on the jets, we can dominate

It's only overreacting if this is the first time I've said it. I said this during the season! Go find my posts...it's not an overreation...it's a fact!

If you don't think that this team is soft than you seriously don't know hockey. Look at the players that have dissappeared. Briere, Hecht, Afinagenov, Vanek, Roy, etc. Yes, no matter how it hurts to hear it...this team is soft. Very talented, but so were the Ottawa Senators the last few years, but they lost. Why? Because they were soft. I know hockey...I know what I'm watching and it doesn't matter that I'm a Sabres fan. The fact is, this team isn't built for the playoffs and they need to hustle every shift of every game to win. They're not doing that and are now in deep s**t because of it.

Saying the same crap over and over again does not make it a fact.

Re: Describe this team...

Laugh, but I've been right so far. None of you want to hear or accept it, but this team has showed nothing this series and pretty much was awful last series. They walked over the Islanders because of talent, this series the other team wants it more. You show me where I'm wrong and I will be happy to admit it.
