G: it's over
B: Defense / Offense
U: those jerseys...
You have to wonder what they are going to do to stop the bleeding. All tanking aside, hard to imagine they want to keep this pace of ugly for the rest of the season.

Shoring up the defense one way or another seems like the most obvious way. You have to think between the 10 or so dmen in the system potentially capable of playing in the nhl they can find 6 that don't blow monkey chunks.

I'd really like to hear the reasoning behind why strachan and zadorov aren't in the mix. Benoit (balls) is showing that he's a seventh d man at best. If Pysyk isn't back soon we're in for a few more losses. Carolina should be our easiest matchup. I hope Nolan can light a fire under this team cause this game was disappointing to put it nicely. On the plus side, it looked like neuvirth stepped his game up from the preseason. For all the talk of this team being 'harder to play against' this season, it didn't translate this game. Twelve shots on goal is bad and they should feel bad.

G: Game at a resonable time for me to watch it without losing sleep.
B: Had other plans so I couldn't watch it anyway. No wait, that's another good, right? Because:
U: The result.

Doesn't seem fair to do a GBU for this game (or the last game), Sabres were just outmatched in every single way.
- So many people are totally invisible. It's alarming and shocking to me.
- To think that you could've told me that Hodgson, Stafford, Moulson, Gionta and Stewart were all dressed and I would have had to double check to confirm is sickening.
- Meszaros is a pylon. I can't believe my eyes. It's pathetic to know that we have him signed at the same price yearly that we had Ehrhoff at. It's already a waste of money and a contract that is untradeable. I'm not sure what the solution is there, other than to waive him.
- I've been fine with the performances of both goalies thus far. They're not the issue.
- Myers doesn't look bad
- I'm now in the camp of wanting to keep Reinhart here for the full season. It's not as though he will be a hindrance or taking an undeserved roster spot.
- the Gorges hit bothered me. If it happened to a Sabre, I would be leading the parade that called for the beheading of the culprit. To be skating forwards and crouch down to hit someone low at the knees is bush league. There is zero chance of anyone spinning that into anything other than what it is: dirty.

I'm in the opposite camp. Get him away from this tire fire. Hell, keep Grigerenko in Rochester too.
I knew someone would say this.
He's not going to get worse by being a part of a losing team. That's nonsense. Every top pick that has played with their team after being drafted has played for a crappy team - hence said team being in a position to draft said player. It's part of how you eventually turn it around. Hell, it might motivate him to get better so he doesn't have to ensure such a thing again

I'm also leaning keeping him here. His biggest needs, based on what I've seen on the ice thus far, are skating work and, especially, strength.

The Meszaros signing is a win-win. Except for the money itself, but that doesn't seem to be an issue for mr Pegula. Mesz keeps us above the cap floor, that's the main thing. And if he plays good, he helps the team, makes himself a good trade chip for the deadline or even a re-sign. If he plays bad, he's the tank commander that gets us closer to McEichel. It's a good signing of a, so far, terrible player.

G: Girgensens. That kid works hard. The rest of his line was coasting, but he kept at it. One shift in the third where he seemed to always be where the puck was. Any sort of pressure we put on them, he was behind it on that shift.
Myers with a couple of great plays, decent hits, and smart passes.
B: this team. This team is just bad. They are almost worse than last years team, but at least they are okay (grain of salt) positionally.
U: Possession. This Sabres team has no ability to control and maintain possession of the puck. It looks like they are playing hot potato out there

What insight? Lack thereof perhaps.
The Bills have been worse much longer than the Sabres.

I know this team is bad but I've seen AHL teams play against NHL teams and look more compettiive.
I don't think Nolan is a good hockey coach. This team looks disorganized, and confused.

Honestly, Where have you seen an Actual AHL team play against an NHL team? I've never heard of that.
Or is that an exaggeration?

The Dallas Stars have played their AHL team several times in what is essentially a preseason game. They're usually pretty competitive.

The Good -
- Meal I had about the time of puck drop. Ceviche, arroz con pollo, cafe con leche.
- Having internet at the restaurant. Hurray!
- Being able to watch the "highlights" if I want via Gamecenter.
The Bad -
- No internet at home strong enough to watch the game. Ummm... hurray?!?
The Ugly -
- Trying to get my running shoes dry after going for a run in torrential rain yesterday. Ok, it wasn't a planned run, just getting caught in it when walking from the bus.
- Feeling two earthquakes last night.
- Rod Brind'Amour.
