That's where they are owning us so far... hope they shake the rust soon.

 

Yeah, a few unnecessary mistakes that went the other way.

Probably a little too geeked early in the opener.

The difference between playoff hockey and week 1 hockey is quite astonishing

 

Like the NFL, Week 1 is a liar.

Power had a rough first period.  Couple of turnovers, unable to get to the rebound or defend the pass to avoid the first goal.  Levi probably could have done better with the rebound.  Joker was no help.

 

Benson looked pretty sharp.  Couple of really nice touch passes to setup teammates.  He looks dangerous out there.  Besides the time he decided to become the 3rd forward behind the offensive net, his positioning stands out in a good way.  The shorthanded goal was on him and a lack of awareness.  

 

Levi played a decent game.  Not much he could do on 3 of the 4 goals allowed.  He made some nice stops to keep it close into the 3rd.

 

First line was mostly ineffective. Skinner had a few chances.  Cozens line was by far the most dangerous although Dylan might be playing with a hole in his stick.

 

Hit a couple of posts which could have changed the game but Buffalo wasn't dangerous enough.  Sabres did not generate a ton of quality chances.  So many f@#$ing shots blocked. The Rangers did well to clog shooting lanes but Dahlin and Cozens need to be better and Tage has to put pucks on goal.

 

Refs were bad through two periods. The calls on Benson and Greenway were atrocious.

Thanks for the recap. I recorded but guess I'll skip it,  sigh.

Only the first game man.


Then it will be only the Buffalo Sabres 20th game and so on with the endless excuses. The Buffalo Sabres don’t respond well to pressure and until they get past that the Sabres are potentially looking at 13 years and no playoffs. Tage Thompson was horrible tonight and so was Alex Tuch which is ridiculous they weren’t ready for opening night. It’s not good enough no excuse for that tonight with the crowd there on RJ night it was great and then there was a hockey game and it was like wow the Buffalo Sabres still can’t get there act together at home ridiculous in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo
