Colaiacovo was a highly touted kid who always played.... decent in the NHL. he's a bottom pairing guy. If that. Not bad at what he does.

I think we outscore our opponents and force other teams to take risks, we we then capitalize on even more. 4th place in the conference, good enough to scare a few clubs into believing our team is getting there. The players themselves admitted it'll take some time but they are working on their game, it'll come together with the talent on our 2 first lines.
Homerish I know but I see growth in place, unity growth.

Did you change your mind after watching game 1?Originally Posted by Dr. Lecter
If were going to send folks down based on tonight's performance, there would a traffic jam on I-90.
Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

The sabres actually out shot the sens. That third, the ice was tilted. Kane looked outstanding
what is better for Samson's development... getting 10 min a night playing on a checking line or getting 20+ a night playing all of the big minutes in Rochester and having the responsibility for the success of that team?
Considering he's supposed to be a franchise cornerstone... the answer is pretty blatant to me.
Didn't watch the game but just based on the guys you have...
Top two lines are good if not great, they can and will carry you to some regular season victories.
Defense is iffy at best and goaltending is about as bad as you can get at the NHL level.
Because the back end is as weak as it is, this team will lose more than it wins but it won't be 50 points of ineptitude. It will be more like 75 points. It will a good year for the young guys to learn and grow together while developing some chemistry in the future. Next offseason the top priority has to be shoring up the back end to make it back to the playoffs.
A great goalie can cover up a lot of flaws unfortunately a great scoring line cannot cover up those flaws. The future is bright as long as something is done to make the netminder better. Either developing someone in your system, trading part of your system for a legit goalie or signing one in FA - least likely method cuz usually good goalies don't hit FA.
