Mustache of God

Eeeesh. 4 pages of a GDT the morning after a Leafs game. Truly a new low.

I want to blame Lehner for that impossible angle goal and it's not really his fault but I'm still blaming him.

Gooo-laaaaaayyy

Every time I look at the bottom 9 I think "woof" and yet they sometimes surprise me. This is 1 of 3 more games I'd like to see a win, which I'm expecting. TO had a tough game last night and should be tired opposed to a Sabre team who hasn't skated since Saturday which in theory is sound but we've seen this go the other way time and time again. The main reason I think they win tonight, with authority, is that they'll be riding a wave of momentum into a Saturday matinee which I fully expect to be a brutal showing from the home team. Go Sabres.

5 years later were last in the league watching as an expansion team is being seriously considered a Stanley Cup Contender and Donald Trump is president. This is truly the worst timeline.

Both Ottawa and the Yotes won last night. Sabres now sitting alone in 31st place.

I'm also going to agree with the bolded. Giving him a long-term contract now takes the carrot away and he can easily grow complacent. Tyler Myers is a shining example of this, not to mention the immense pressure these players are put under to perform when they're given such large contracts at a young age. Give Sam a reasonable bridge deal for both sides and then if he grows into a player whose worth big money then pay the man!

Is Chad or Lehner injured or has Jbots lost faith in our goalies?

Whatever the severity of his injury I think they should shut him down for the rest of the season. If he gets to a point where he's healthy enough to come back for the last 10 games why risk another injury so close to the last one when there's nothing to play for.

The beard is the source of his power.

Horrible to read the Okposo has another concussion. I wonder who gets called up in his place. At this point we have 2 maybe 3 actual NHL forwards on this team. Should bode well against Vegas.

Falk just leveled somebody and it looked like everyone stopped playing expecting someone to to "respond" to the hit. Instead ottawa got a breakaway.

Nailed it.

At the time the tank was the lowest point for me. Apparently when you hit rock bottom you max out your credit card on a jack-hammer and then max out your other card on extension cords so you can keep drilling deeper and deeper. I can't see this team winning more than 5 games in the remaining 15 and I'm hoping they sweep Toronto.

I'd like to add that I am so disappointed with this team/franchise where I've reached the point of embracing a tank for the 2nd time in 4 years. Middle fingers everywhere!

Line 1: Crap Line 2: Crappier Line 3: Crappiest Line 4: Jordan Nolan - Danny O'Ragan - another piece of crap. D pairings look similar. Lehner in net.

This is a big game that will have monumental ramifications on the CHL standings (is that thread still active?). I'll come out an say it: I want the team to lose tonight. We have to work under the assumption that the lottery odds will bump us 3 spots down the list and I want to draft no later than 4th. Must lose boys! (I'm fully expecting them to win in some act of cosmic spite).

2014 called and said "yes."

With Johnson in net tonight against his old team I'm expecting we see Lehner in net tomorrow night against his old team. This is some 4-D Chess tanking strategy here, let Johnson get the win tonight, pulling us within 1 of Ottawa and then let Lehner lay an egg so Ottawa gets those points back.

I think it's clear Lehner is not going to be. Think about it, he's the core of the stink that has shaped up to be GMTM's legacy. Lehner is the embodiment of everything Murray did wrong during the re-build: Overpaying for overvalued assets. One of the greatest mysteries I see posted about on this board is the mythical "trade Lehner" theory. He is valueless. Maybe I'm biased because he's my least favorite Sabre goalie I've ever seen play but I can't wait until he's done.

This is so true. Being where we are in the standings pretty much every game we play is a "trap" game for opponents. We're in the dog days of the season and I believe teams see the Sabres in the basement and are thinking "this will be an easy win", and probably don't prepare as much as they should. Same thing applies for other basement teams. Coyotes are 6-4 in their last 10.

The only difference is that they have 3 cups to show for it.

I don't understand the logic behind that 3rd line but who am I to question it?

At least Okposo is back. Per hamilton lines look like: 67 - 90 - 23 21 - 28 - 13 20 - 22 - 29 17 - 10 - 25 Looking forward to see Baptiste on a scoring line. Him and Girgs should theoretically be able to dig in the corners and then find Okposo. Lehner in net.
