BillsPride12 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I'm really trying to be optimistic about making the playoffs this season but we are losing way too many games early in the schedule. I'm afraid it's going to come back and haunt us. Although sloppy at least it was an entertaining game compared to what those games against New Jersey are usually like.

Beast Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Yeah, this team is no different. Wanted it to be so but it isn’t. Absolutely no defensive structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Great game today by the Sabres! They kept the pressure on Colorado all game. UPL with his first NHL shut-out. Wasn’t expecting that against Colorado! lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a young team that will get better as the season goes along, but starting off in a hole is about the worst thing that could have happened to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One 8 game-winning streak, which I think this team is capable of, erases the early season losses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unfortunate because the team has lost a lot of fan goodwill that was there starting the season. I still expect playoffs, and a successful season is a series win.

There are 2 teams with more losses and 4 teams with just as many losses. Sabres are 4-5 coming off 2 solid performances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Four goals on 14 shots (and an empty netter). Amazing. On the flip side, UPL saved 38 out of 40 shots. His last two games he has a 96.8% save percentage. Hopefully a sign of things to come. Edited November 2, 2023 by Doc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially I'm still done with him and unwilling to admit he has played two fantastic games. Timely saves again and again and he didnt give up his typical weak one and then come totally unmoored is what I am not saying. Great to see, if it were true. That is what this team has not had the past few years and still doesn't for the record! Team defense was not great tonight but UPL came up big when it mattered is an opinion for someone else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 It feels good to be on the other side of one of those games where we didn't deserve to win but got the 2 points anyways. Another nice game from UPL 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) Once again, this team is an embarrassment. Playing with absolutely no structure. 45 minutes ago, Simon said: They'll get better but they're probably going to be maddeningly inconsistent all year. They might come out in the 2nd looking like the '85 Oilers and then spend the 3rd playing like the '95 Sabres. This is a pond hockey team that, when facing a team that decides to bring their game, no matter the talent level of that team, the Sabres are going to lose. Too much running around in all three zones. There are countless times you can throw a hat over three or four players. That just shouldn’t happen.
