    Maybe Larkin doesn't have any hockey IQ. The two slashing penalties he took were ridiculous. I know it's a rule change and an adjustment for players, but we're 10 games into the season with the rule. Taking two dumb penalties in the exact same manner in the same game is ridiculous.

    Pathetic effort by the Sabres. Can't believe Johnson wasn't yoinked after that 4th goal

    Rebuild fail. This team is 3 years from playoffs.

    Wasn't this game 24 hours from the previous game in another city? Meh. No team is going to be so great with that kind of scheduling. Let this one go.

    I turned it off. If you're gonna lose, lose going down swinging. Not just going through the motions

    Re: 17-18 running sabres game day thread

    Team has a few bright spots... Scandella was a good pickup, Antipin is going to be a keeper...

    Ok that's it.

    This is a multi-year rebuild.

    If it were close maybe I could buy that. But this was an annihilation. Sabres make too many mistakes and fail to capitalize on offensive opportunities. Those are running themes so far this season that can't be blamed on back-to-back games.

    Vancouver came into Buffalo having played the night before and beat the Sabres. That's just an excuse. They could of at least showed up and put in an effort.

    Not really... need to draft and develop at this point.

    GMTM swung and missed.

    No easy fix now.

    No, but if you can get a big name at the cost of only salary cap room, you gotta.

    If the sabres replaced dead weight with even average players, you'd see a better team. They didn't in free agency.

    But I expect botterill to work his magic and address holes this off-season. But what good is cap space if you don't fill it?

    Just make sure you don't trade away picks and youth for players now if you want to keep the window open as long as possible

    Ok that's it.

    This is a multi-year rebuild.
    I've watched about 20 minutes of this team so far. Scandella struck me as solid. O'Reilly struck me a ineffective. Okposo struck me as dried up. Lehner struck me as the worst starting Sabres goalie I can remember. Kane strikes me as fun to watch. Ristoleinin struck me as Tyler Myers bad. Your boy, Reinhart, looked to have taken two steps back. Pominville looked better than I expected.

    How am I doing so far?

    No, there's not. Which is why I hope botterill doesn't trade away youth for older guys. Its important that the cup be the goal, not merely making the postseason.

    Reinharts my boy, and yeah, he's taken steps back.

    I remember Jacques Cloutier

    he was worse.

    but your point is still made
    My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

    MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!
