We give the other team all the time they need to make the play. Watch the Islanders when they attack the points. They skate as hard toward them as they would a breakaway. Then watch our guys. They glide toward them. No urgency whatsoever. While it may look like they are trying to block the pass and is the right thing to do, all it does gives the other players time to get open. Kruger ***** sucks.

Dahlin. WTF?!

That was a good stop.

Eichel to the Islanders?

Why can't they pass like this 5 on 5?

Will there be a huddle at the bench during this commercial break?

Call a time out now.

I've already seen something that pissed me off. It's either coaching or these guys are just really stupid..

Please get flexed so I can’t watch... Please get flexed so I can’t watch... Please get flexed so I can’t watch... Please get flexed so I can’t watch... Please...

Why was no time out taken? I would have done it after their second goal. Would have been fine after the third. And yes, I think it would have helped. Also, where was the feistiness at the end of the game? Good teams who believe they can win every once in a while would have been a little chippy at the end, knowing they were going to play again tomorrow. They ***** suck. This sucks!

I like him. I think you are wrong. When he and Sal are on together, you really get a sense of his sports knowledge, and it's not just regurgitation. He defers to Shopp, but they have their thing. I don't hate that either.

That would be a ***** disaster. If he goes UFA we HAVE to trade him. We cannot let assets walk for nothing. We're still recovering from 7-1-07 and it took years to recover from Hasek walking. I think he's grittier than you think. I also think he is a liability way less than you think. I agree. So much this.

It was a bad joke because he changed his name back to Thorny.

So, are we to assume that there are no more Eichel fans?

How about 8 of the next 9?

Kruegar’s system, where breakouts go to die.

This is not on Hutton. Not even close. Its all coaching. I still can’t believe Olofsson’s decision at the blue line that led to the fourth goal. Krueger sucks.

That fourth goal is all Krueger. He ***** sucks.

We’ll see.

Nope.

It would not be unprecedented. They just need to beat the 4th place team.

Okay. Time for a little optimism. I keep hearing that there is no way the Sabres make the playoffs this year, given how far down in the standings they already are,... oh, and their current play. I agree that they’ve dug one heck of a hole to climb out of. But say the lightbulb turns on. Say Ralph’s system starts to click. Say our top 6 actually start scoring and we actually start winning. A bout of Covid or a key injury to another team (both of which we already dealt with) and that path is even easier. In other years, a team could go on a 5 game win streak, but other teams in the division won 4 and no ground was gained. This year, every game is a four point game. I don’t think the hole we’ve dug is as deep as it may have been in previous years. ROCK’EM SABRES!!!! “I’m not dead yet!”

In this case, it's like the cup that Adam's isn't wearing and Ralph has been kicking him squarely in the nuts.
