All they need is to scrape together 3 wins in a row and everything will be fine

I didn’t see tage and cozens falling off a cliff completely this season.

Power to some degree, he’s regressed more then expected imo

You were blinded by Adams bald head, which hypnotized you into thinking the Sabres are worth spending money on.

Some may call that phenomenal

Top line's shooting % dropping down was near the top of list of concerns. That hit hard. Those 3 are the biggest reason they are where they are atm.

Cozens slipped, but the secondary scoring is fine overall.

this is probably the first time I have had zero confidence in the GM and the coach for the sabres

Nobody predicted tage to regress from 47 goals to 14 so far. I’m not that disappointed in either skinner or tuch to that degree.

Cozens just recently picked up the pace , but he’s struggled

Dahlin hasn’t been in playing well compared to last season . Who saw that coming ?

Krebs has what, 3 goals?

Injuries, shooting % regression, aging regression. These were always topics and concerns.

The tougher question is where they go from here. Is this just a down year, or is this the beginning of the end for them as a top line? They've only been together for 14 games this season.

I think Donnie has held Dahlin and Power back. Cozens will be fine.

Is Krebs good? Donnie doesn't seem to think so and he hasn't given us much to be excited about. Another full year on LOG is poor handling. Can't be in the business of turning 1st's into 4th liners.

Moving forward the top line needs to stay healthy for starters . Skinner has played pretty well.

I’m a bit nervous we’re not changing anything moving forward, aside from the guys we discussed.

A new gm would gut these bottom 6 guys

Skinner is back to being a 0 defensively and on the PP. Overusing him has been a big problem this season.

These are the same questions and concerns a year later with this club….with only regression in between.

This was a known concern last season…nothing was done to combat it. This practically same roster, the season before last was all banged up. It’s a soft combination of players in a broken organization.

Combine that with players giving up on the team and this is the result.

I thought Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a great game, and I loved it personally. It was kind of jank but any Star Wars fan would look past that regardless.

I still have to beat the sequel (50 hours in), Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and I am nearing the end but oh my god…

Star Wars or not, this is one of the beat games ever made. The gameplay loop, the level-design, the pacing… I would even go as far as to say the Star Wars IP has held this game back in terms of praise - and it’s been wildly praised.

No, this is all my favorite games in 1 game. Mega Man X. Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. Tomb Raider. Final Fantasy. Star Wars. God of War II, Crash Bandicoot. The Last of Us… From top to bottom, this game is the perfect combination of all the genres and all the best games…

The bottom line is this game is so much fun and I honestly think the Star Wars ip might actually be turning people away from this game, and for me it was 100% the 2023 GotY and the fact some Dungeons and Dragons crap won over this is definitely some nerd-level snobbery.

Asking if it is the beginning of the end for the top line is a borderline hilarious question considering they were really only a top line for one damn season 😅😅

The Sabres continue to never understand the below, as they keep failing to support their top picks by expecting their top picks to do it all themselves.

Good Stuff! Sabres are horrible at Mentoring there Good players. Did it with Eichel, still don't like the Colorado trade. Understand why they did it, but ROR IMO wasn't the right player to mentor Eichel. Did it to Dahlin and are doing it to Power and Levi! Same Sh!t Different Day mentality.
My bold prediction! If Adams doesn't TRY to look like he's Winning this Year. Dahlin and maybe another ask out. They already have Mitts in a confused state.

But there Psyche is Better!

They've had more conversations about being a top line vs actually being a top line.
