GDT: Sabres @ Penguins - Nov 11, 2023 - 7:30pm, MSG/ESPN+📺WGR📻
thewookie1 replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Just a rough night all around, team looked flat a good deal and when they perked up everything seemed to just never go their way. Reminds me of last year when Tuch was out. His fire and forechecking ability seems to help this team get into a groove when bounces aren’t sitting for us. Without him, Tage and Dahlin try but again if bounces are working against us and the team looks flat; not much happens. Mitts and JJP played well but Mitts gets literally hugged and the refs do nothing. just show up against Boston and we’ll be happy again. Olofsson needs to be gone, Maybe the Avs could use him on their awful Powerplay in some manner. Our powerplay is more in need of better motion and puck management on zone entries -

Oh shut up you, your hate for Pegula is well documented and completely unnecessary here. I have zero issue with them trying to hex the opposing goalie -

Okposo is skating in molasses nowadays. It’s sad to see -

The PP is just so completely out of sync -

He’s looked a bit better, the giveaway that gave Crosby that chance was forced by two Penguin sticks. we haven’t played great tonight but we seem to be getting zero bounces tonight. -

BS goal, didn’t even look like a skill play as much as a lucky bounce off UPL’s head. -
Reminds me of how he seized on the opportunity in Rochester when Quinn was hurt.

Sabres return Matt Savoie to WHL Wenatchee Wild
thewookie1 replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Savoie is a certainly victim of the AHL/CHL rules. He was nearly a PPG in Rochester, isn't ready yet for the NHL and is forced back into Juniors. I'm surprised they didn't keep him a bit longer but I'm guessing Granato must of saw some deer in the headlights against the Wild's crazed physicality and told Adams he wasn't quite ready for NHL men yet. Benson will likely get some AHL games and his max in the NHL before joining his buddy. We did learn though that Benson seems to handle the larger players better than Savoie thus far in regards to the psyche. -

Levi was great Mitts was possessed out there Greenway was solid as usual Cozens was half good half terrible Refs tried to screw us Hope JJP is ok Dahlin wasn’t cooking but was solid regardless -

thewookie1 replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
1. The PP needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch 2. Levi has played very well 3. I want the ice redone, I have never seen teams have so many issues with puck handling as they seem to have here. Its likely at least some of issue our team has with over shooting passes. -

I believe the shot was on the ice and quite literally found it’s way beneath Levi as he’s doing the splits across. -
Idle SabreSpacer speculation re: Patrick Kane
thewookie1 replied to sweetlou's topic in The Aud Club
I'd rather take him than let him some magically improve the Leafs. Kane is a Sabre killer after all -
Idle SabreSpacer speculation re: Patrick Kane
thewookie1 replied to sweetlou's topic in The Aud Club
I’d give Kane 3x1mil, then when he grinds down due to his hip like all others he’ll just go on LTIR and be a Sabres alumni and teach stickhandling tricks -

thewookie1 replied to SABRES 0311's topic in The Aud Club
I'm not happy we lost the bonus point but I'm glad we still got a point. Evenly fought game analytically 5v5 and that's no easy feat against Carolina's depth and D corp. So I'm a bit disappointed but certainly not angry. They didn't lose due to a lack of effort or looking inept; they just had a bit of bad luck and 3v3 can be a literal crapshoot. UPL should've held the puck Now lets go sweep the weekend games and get to 5-1-1 in our last 7- 548 replies

Sabres Development in 2023-24 - what say you?
thewookie1 replied to Spoonman's topic in The Aud Club
To me it honestly depends how far, if we are out at Thanksgiving, are we out. For instance, presently the Sabres are in a 3/4 way tie for a spot but other teams have a game in hand. So at worst, 2/3 pts. If we are within a game’s points; I’m not going to hand wring over being 4th in the division and 9th in the conference. I’ve always seen it as more of a general guide, more than a set in stone 75/80% rule. If we are 10-9-0 with 20 pts at Thanksgiving, it’ll depend on the standings. Most importantly, we cannot have any losing streaks more than 3 games the whole season. If you play .500 hockey most of the time and add a couple 4 game winning streaks to the bunch you’ll be right around 95 pts. The Sabres need to bring it all together by Game 25, but must at very least have 28 pts after 25 games. From there you need to play better but as long as you are “put together” theoretically you should do better if their disjointed time was still a hair over .500.
