Same Old Lindy, Same Old Results

Prague, Czechia – Hope springs eternal here along the Lake…but it does not take long for cold water to be thrown on the fans hopes and dreams of finally earning a playoff seeding.

The Buffalo Sabres were out-coached, out-scored, and out-defended for most of the two Global Series games versus the New Jersey Devils who are boasting a new goaltender and a new “Head Coach” who is not an unsuccessful former player/coach that already had his shot.

The Positives – Obviously Devon Levi has proved that he is our number one goaltender, looking solid and kept Buffalo in the game.

Alex Tuch proved that this team has heart after goon dillon an alternate captain for New Jersey with malicious intent launched himself and made contact with his shoulder into JJ Peterka’s face/head, and after review the “referees” called it a “two minute” interference penalty.

The Czech/Slovak Buffalo Sabres fan club was in full attendance during both contests with their large white “Fred Flintstone lodge hats.”

I will give it until the end of October before I begin petitioning GM Adams to kick lindy ruff upstairs to a “veteran advisor” role so that HC Appert can take over and coach our boys to the playoffs.
