Since the draft talk is starting already... This person thinks 2018 will be every bit as good as 2015

Dahlin!!

The hype this kid is generating... he is being called a borderine generational talent... Seems like a bit too much hype and hyperbole... He will be someone to watch at this years WJC

Well, I had a ****-up with my NHL TV Gamecenter (see my other thread), so I missed the last two games, but two lopsided losses with multiple shorties? I thought this team would sneak in as an 8 seed but they are so bad that I think NHL TV did me a favor.

I mean, it's an 82 game season and losses are going to happen, but the manner and lopsidedness of these losses is inexcusable. We don't have elite level talent. We do have too much talent to get dominated like this.

May as well tank. This team blows

LOL!!!!

[Ingtar33]

so an expansion team is 3-0

What the hell are the sabres doing?

Remaining in Buffalo despite going bankrupt, tanking for 2 & 1/2 years and no Cups in their 45 years of miserable existence.

I am noticing the huge pass Housley seems to be getting here.

Sloppy play? If it were Ruff, you'd be all over his case. Why is Housley getting a pass?

Who would be all over ruff? Not this guy, I loved Lindy.

[Ingtar33]

I miss Lindy.

This team was moderately well coached and somewhat fun to watch when he was around. Every coach since he left has been a huge downgrade.

Jury is still out on housley. But... So far. Sloppy play and lazy play

Because it's his third game and the players are not even a month into his system counting training camp?

Lindy Ruff was 6-10-4 after his first 20 games in his first year as the Sabres coach....after taking over a team that won the division the year prior.

[SpikedLemonade]

A loss to the Sharks coming up tonight.

First of consecutive conference final berths that season.

Does tanking impact the long-term culture of an organization?

You know it does.

Probably for a generation.

[JATMtheJATM]

Have to work so I'm only watching the first period. But a penalty right away. Garbage
