What should the Buffalo Sabres’ level of concern be?
Another difficult start here. Rasmus Stallene though had some comments following yesterday’s loss. Let’s have a listen. It’s not good enough. Um a lot of hilarious um better start today. Um worse ending. Um not good power play, good PK, um good goalending. We just I mean we can’t catch a break there. Um we got to get out of this. Uh it’s a mix of everything. Um not good enough on the ice. Uh a lot of injuries. Um we have to step up. This is uh not acceptable. That’s for sure. Listen, that was painful for us. It was painful for him and it was also painful for the media members in that room. I covered the ABS during their worst season in team history. You just go in there, but you’re fourth game of the season, third game of the season. Like it awful. How are we feeling? So, calm, concerned, panic, or red alert rubber. I’m going to start it with this. This is the time of year where subpar teams should feel better about themselves because not everybody is fully going. The good teams get better. Was talking about that last week, but the the the better teams you were? That was you. That was you said. Good job. Did you It’s red alert. Red alert, man. Are you kidding me? This is a time where Buffalo’s got to bank points. They look terrible. Awful. I just don’t understand. I I don’t understand. They don’t understand or they would have fixed it. What is going on? How this is the time where they should at least be fleecing us to think they’re good, but they’re doing nothing except magnifying the fact that we know they’re no good. We are who they thought they were. We are. You nailed it. They are who we thought. We are. It’s good, man. So, yeah, man. Uh, red alert for me. It’s really bad. Uh, where do you think I’m going with this? Oh, I think you’re seem pretty calm right now. So, uh, I am very calm. Slept like a baby last night. Uh, because are we surprised folks at home? Are we surprised? If you come to me as a media member or anybody in the NHL sphere and you are surprised by and you are surprised by this, no offense to you. I love that by the way the way you explain that. That was fantastic. Um I’m not shocked. I’m like, “Oh, great. Par for the course. Here we go once again.” And listening to those words and nothing else. Fantastic player, Rasmus Alene. But the turnovers that he was a part of in that game were egregious. And as a captain, you got to lead the way. We’re talking about Shawn Couture. We’re talking about all these captains leading the way. You are the captain of that team. You have to pull this out of the fire. You guys got to do something. I need a some level of urgency. And now it sounds like I’m getting a red alert, but I’m calm. I’m cool. Yeah, super calm because this is what we expected from

If im a owner, im gonna bomb leadership. But its Buffalo so….
Hey great segment guys really informative…jesus christ. Talk about the owner for christs sake say anything of value
The biggest issue was totally avoided: The lack of palm trees.
Complete overreaction. The Sabres went 0-3 last season with almost identical scoring. It’s still early and all the channels are repeating these for easy likes and reactions.
