@@horaceball5418 It wasn’t anything personal with players or management, Dev’s had an abysmal year so they canned him, and rightfully so. Don’t get me wrong, It wasn’t all his fault but he was partially to blame.
I hope they have more games abroad. There's a huge amount of players from Russia,Sweden,Czechia and Finland and the fans there deserve to get to go to a game every now and then. A game in Helsinki would probably sell out.
They weren’t playing an NHL team, remember. This is the Junior Sabres…or at least that’s what they look like. It’s easy to beat a team with no compete, no toughness, and no desire to improve.
Sabres team defence is total shambles. It doens't matter who you put into the net if the attitude is that of 14 year olds first time on ice. Wtf happened to Lindy Ruff? Or was it because Sabres back then was full of defensive specialist forwards and stay-home defencemen...and I don't even have to mention Hasek. Now they are happy go lucky run and gun team with no cohesion.
Lindy coaches a style that focuses heavily on countering and rush plays. The sabres is a team filled with skilled, puck carrying defensenmen. The two don't match well.
@@tomblade Yeah I saw that on THGs video. NJ would have had to waive him to sign him so he picked the next option. I would rather player for the AHL NJ team and be promoted to the NHL over play for the jackets.
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants You get more ice time in CBJ and you can be traded on trade deadline to contender. I would choose Columbus in that case.
@@PolishCarbon Many players each year are upset they are not traded at the deadline. The hawks were bad and refused to trade Foligno even though he was going to be a free agent and could have rejoined the hawks after. I heard one sharks player was disappointed he was not traded. It possible nobody offered anything for him. It still might have been safer for his career to play on an AHL contract with NJ with the promise they will give him an nhl contract in 1 year or less cause they have the better roster.
The Sabres have been a joke for years, and continue to be. Very little compete, no toughness, no superstars, no idea on the part of management how to build a team. I predict that as long as the current owner is in charge they will never make the playoffs. What a total joke. The season hasn’t even started except for these two teams, and Buffalo is already the worst team in the league by a country mile. Not the worst players, maybe, but the lowest compete and least toughness of any team. Why is Kevyn Adams a GM in the NHL? He is clueless. He couldn’t even run the Junior Sabres a few years ago, but somehow the owner feels he is capable of running an NHL team. Nope.
@@JJNITROFAN Starting to agree but I don’t think it’s all Adams. The draft in hockey doesn’t lead to rebuilding and even if you have cap space the free agent market is limited to guys who aren’t in their prime. It’s not like the NFL, there’s a systemic problem with the NHL. It’s really hard to turn around a losing franchise.
FuN Fact- EvERY serious legitimate NHL player with any clout has a specific few team "no-trade" list in the contract. Buffalo is ALWAYS on the 'do not trade list". No real people want to go to Buffalo
@@yoholmes273 Makes sense but…Why does the league allow players to have that much leverage? Again, eliminating those clauses would lead to greater player movement and more competitive balance. The cap floor needs to be raised and the cap ceiling needs to be lowered. The draft eligibility rules need to change and if you make those changes you will have a more competitive sport with more teams in the mix for playoff spots. In the Eastern Conference you’re hoping that maybe the Lightning drop off or maybe the Bruins finally drop off. Almost all of the teams that made the playoffs last season will make it this season, there’s no sense that you’re a good offseason away from the playoffs like there is in football.
@@planetcaravan2925 um going 0-2 to start the season, getting absolutely dominated in every category, looking lost as hell on the ice. Typical buffalo sabres hockey.
The Devils are the type of team that good teams beat, Buffalo is the type of team that makes the sport unwatchable. It really is a pathetic league and it’s not a surprise that hockey is the least popular spectator sport among baseball, basketball and football. Nobody watches the NHL and there’s no reason to watch for a good 1/4 of NHL fans. It’s really comes down to this: the NHL Draft. The NHL Draft is the worst draft in all of professional sports because players are drafted at such a young age you have no idea what you’re getting. It’s just like playing the lottery, the Sabres have had the first or second pick in the draft multiple times recently and they never end up with a difference maker. Player movement is nonexistent unless you’re a terrible team that gets tricked into trading good players for more meaningless draft picks. Having the best organizational depth in hockey means nothing. The Sabres are the Montreal Expos of hockey, they’ll never win again in this league and the same can be said for any of the perennial bottom feeders. The NHL needs to stop letting players be drafted in their teens unless they’re willing to guarantee a roster spot. Problem solved. Then the league needs to stop restricting player movement and make free agency meaningful. It’s a league of haves and have nots and nothing seems to change.
@@MorleyBruxton Love Sam Reinhart, hate that he had to leave Buffalo to have a chance to win a Cup. Somehow the Sabres are one of those teams that lose good players and never acquire good players, they are a developmental franchise. I fully expect Dahlin and Power to win Stanley Cups but it won’t happen in Buffalo. Congrats to Eichel and Reinhart though, that gives Sabres players hope that someday they’ll be traded for meaningless draft picks and have a chance to skate the Cup somewhere else…
thanks for the 4 pts Lindy
legendary comment
Unfair win
Lindy doesn't suck. Buffalo does
So glad I was there to see both games. 0 regrets
These announcers are much better than last game.
great to see my favorite team win live. we dont get those things often in Prague😂❤
Devils totally dominated the Sabres in this one--great game for them
Poor Levi, looks like a John Gibson situation all over again smh 🤦🏾♂️
Levi looked pretty good but the team in front of him is trash
How can they be trash when Kevyn with a Y picked up fading players who were at best slightly above average when they were in their prime?

21% of the cap go to two defencemen

The two don't match well.
Well it looks like the Buffalo Sabres might tank for the #1 Overall Draft Pick this season.
Is he good?
Levi doing soo good... i think this guy he is in the wrong team...
It's hard to watch the Sabers play hockey. How do people pay for this?
2000 BC? I thought our Lord was 0000 BC.
We don’t. Check out the largely empty Sabres arena when they are gone.
Lets go Timo, Dillon and Labanc. NJ Sharks

Sabres need a coach that knows how to utilize a high-skilled puck moving defenseman so that they can finally have Dahlin at his full potential.
Sabres still can’t defend, won’t be close to playoffs
I wonder how empty their Stadium will be this year?
Do you agree Dahlin getting caught up ice is killing us?
@@horaceball5418 Getting outshot so heavily is the main reason. I don't think blaming your best player is the answer
22 shots allowed in the first game
Can’t call dahlin the main problem when coverage has been awful on all 6 goals against and most goals against last season
Sabres 0-2 already
