LOL. This team has been manhandled by an decent team in Columbus but hardly a great team. The Sabres suck--chances are good our pick will be very high this year.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm relieved. I mean it's the best of both world. I see a lot of good things from the kids. But our scrubs still cost us games leaving us in the Bottom standings for the 3 generational talents in the draft at the end of this year.

Meszaros and Gionta were useless tonight. Was Reinhart playing?
a lack of speed and offensive skill was obvious plus we could not get out of our zone. Zemgus , Myers and Enroth played well.

I flipped in between this game and nearly every other game that was on tonight. Every other team I watched tonight looked like they were in a different league including Florida. The Ducks who are losing 6-3 to Pittsburgh would have beaten Buffalo 5-0 tonight. This game was shockingly bad when you consider how much talent Columbus is missing. They look exactly the same as they did last year. Void of any sort of system. They really look like a team that is just told to go out there and "play hard" without any sort of coaching involved. Last season was like watching an AHL team play pond Hockey against an NHL team and this season looks to be the same. But it's game 1. If they still look like this 15 games into the season then there's a real problem here.

You seriously singled out Gionta for being bad? What about his game was bad?

The ridiculous hooking penalty he took on the PP was enough for me. I'm sure he had some first game pressure on him, his line just didn't click for me.

I think this team will improve over last season. I'll be surprised if they get more than 65 points.

He took a hooking penalty...terrible performance...

His line obviously didn't have chemistry. I still don't know why Nolan took Reinhart off the Stewart foligno line. Gionta looked solid for me tonight though. Made some nice, smart plays.

I think it's a pretty horribly put together line to be frank.

I still remember Marek vs Wyshynski just laughing hysterically when Gorges said they were going to make the playoffs.

Marek: "no, noooo,noo, nooo. Silly Greg"


A couple things though. Stewert,Foligno, Girgensons line was by far the best all game. They definitely had good chemistry going. Z with the nice goal.

Myers and Gorges seemed to work well together. Risto looks like he belongs. other D had some iffy moments.

Hodgson Reinhart had a nice give and go play But Cody can't seem to bury his chances. Reinhart doesn't look NHL ready though. He needs more seasoning in the lower leagues.

Mike weber was....not terrible tonight. Wth? Oh, but Ben-Mez was shockingly bad. Shockingly. Worse than McBaim-Weber last season. That bad. I never want to see those two play together again.
