matter2003

They only allowed one goal...its a really low bar these days

Hey there is something familiar...Sabres down 1-0

And this:

Me glued to the TV seeing if the Sabres can score a goal...

Apparently this one...first time Sabres have ever gone 3 games without scoring...embarrassing

For the amount of talent they have on the team I'd say this one. They have NO VALID EXCUSE for being anywhere close to as bad as they are. They've traded hard working guys with no talent for guys with talent who dont care about using it or not. And they have gotten progressively worse as they have done it...

Since we've gone 3+ games since scoring I guess its time to figure out how close to a record of futility we are... Whats the franchise record for time played with no goals scored? How pathetic is this...the tank teams were better than we are now... Meanwhile in Vegas an expansion team of have beens and never weres are leading their division having not been in existence 6 months ago and never having even played with each other...this team is pathetic on every level possible.

Meanwhile an expansion team that didnt exist 6 months ago made up of mostly have beens and never weres who never played together in their lives is leading their division. This team has ZERO excuses for being this bad. None whatsoever. I dont want to hear it.

Sorry when an expansion team that didnt even exist 6 months ago made of mostly have beens and never weres who have never even played together in their lives are leading their division there is no valid excuse for them to be as bad as they are. None.

Its significant problems with something other than their physical ability...thats where ive got the issue. This team is as mentally tough as a cream filled donut.

Bylsma was the problem too..and the coach be For him and the coach before him... At some pointit has nothing to do with system or scheme its the players.

What about modern NHL..post 1970? Sabres franchise record?

All I can say is... We tanked for this?? Those teams played better than this...at least they tried.

Is it time to be looking into longest goal droughts in team history?

Hamilton has been saying this stuff from season one and the team has progressively gotten worse from season one even as they got rid of "work hard" guys who wwrent afraid to win pick battles and take whatever hit it took to do it For "good players". Now these guys act like they are afraid they will break a nail along the boards... And now we find ourselves right back where we were before the tank with 10 times better players. Hamilton is in the locker room...he travels with the team...he sees and hears so much more than just the on ice crapfest we have now...

They act like they are giving effort...they race to loose pucks, try and defend once the other team gets the puck but do literally nothing along rhe boards to win those pick battles...they turn away..they avoid going "all in" on the boards...They are only fooling themselves...no team can be around rhe pick that much along the boards and come away with it that little unless it's due to lack of effort. They lack situational effort...that is, they are happy to work hard at the easy stuff but not the hard, difficult, painful stuff

This team too often looks like it just doesn't care if it wins or loses

3 Sabres behind the net and the 1 Penguins player comes up with the puck...SMFH

And of course our guy shoots it right into the goalie as usual

Hahahahaha....this is so bad its ridiculous. All you can do is laugh at this point.

And why would we ever think Lehner would stop someone on a penalty shot/ shootout attempt? Other teams score at will against us and we struggle to score a single goal every game...SMFH at this joke of a team

Of course you have a better chance to lose than win no matter where you end up...except teams like the Oilers who win it 3 times within a 5 year period and don't seem to have to worry about it. And the math for any team finishing below the #1 team is lower than the #1 team. So somebody HAS to win it...

Good for him...ive been there myself...not that heavy but at 255 lbs I thoight I was having a heart attack several years ago and had elevated cardiac enzymes when they ran tests at the hospital... Over the next few years I got in tremendous shape and dropped 75 pounds...you have moments in your life when you just look in the mirror and dont like the person you've become and have to make a serious change. Good for him that he realized it and even better for sticking it through and doing it.

We have the 2nd hardest schedule in the NHL for December...looks like we will be sitting pretty for the best chance at winning the lottery which of course we won't win...why? Cause Buffalo. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/maple-leafs-sabres-face-brutal-234449553.html

Hey let's load up on draft picks again because that worked out so well for us the last time we tried it...
