14 Shots Against 4 SOG

Absolutely ridiculous!!!
-
Bealieu gives it away on the breakout and it gets worked into a goal.
-
I want one of the jerseys. I like how the perimeter of the rink is laid out. Not cluttered with randomness like previous WCs. Nice NYC landscape. Update: the wife got up for the game and she was asking if I was going to tell SS.

Ya sometime after the ramblings of Milbury. He kind of took a dig at the polar bear club or maybe he is too cold to think before he speaks.Mmmm Copenhagen. Fcuk, that sounds delicious.
Anyway...are we playing a hockey game any fcuking time soon?

Greetings from the land of the rising sun. 3 AM matinee and it looks like the rest of the family is sitting this one out. I have some meat loaf leftovers, plenty of Copenhagen and the greatest sports board to interact with. Let’s do this!

Just as Jack’s game has been triggered so has your post LOL. I don’t consider myself old but glad to see him earning the money he just signed for.-Death

-A 20/21 year old on the 30th best ES team in the league having a rough 25 game stretch before continuing to carry said team on back, somehow a top 7 ES point producer in the league despite all this
-Grumpy old men on message boards grumbling about attitude and having various other asinine takes during that 25 game stretch based on pure conjecture with no ultimate grounding in reality
:angel:

Lol. I think we might need a PSA or alert if we win three in a row. RJs voice instead of the computer voice making the announcement.This has been a Sabrespace public service announcement brought to you by chz.
This ends the test of the emergency broadcast system. If this had been an actual emergency you would have received instructions.

Not to single you out, but.....
I chuckle every time I see a post like this.
Phil has tried multiple line combos multiple times. I hardly believe he's panicking. Management and the coaching staff are well aware what they have in the players roster wise.
Panicking.....lol
Maybe that is part of the issue. Lines go through slumps as do players. Id like to see a more balanced top two lines and have them stay together for a couple of games to see if the come together.
Sam -Eichel-KO
Pouliot-ROR-Kane
Fasching-ERod-Girgs
Cannon Fodder

Making your own lines seems like the lowest form of fandom. We all know there's not nearly enough talent up front. What's the point of this exercise? Let's see, we have cheap tuna fish, velveeta cheese, whole grain ziti, green olives and some Fritos in the cupboard. Let's plan some meals!
The talent is there. Its the drive that is missing. Kane, Eichel, ROR, Okposo, place a couple of big bodies like Fasching with those four and there you go. Maybe put ERod in there. The talent was gone during the tank but the motivation never came back. I think what we lack is bottom 6 talent to round everything out. A couple of guys who can play some minutes, contribute to the PK, and when needed jump up a line.
I didn't add Sam because I don't think he has found his role. Probably because he bounces all over the roster.

So much for that trade being a steal. Can't even seem to be a mainstay over Gorges in a lineup of garbage defensemen
I think sometimes you have to take a chance on whether a player is just bad or needs a change of scenery. I wouldn't say we have a bad group of DMen. The team has talent but has not been able to put it together. Is this because of coaching or player's lack of enthusiasm? Who knows. Risto, McCabe, Bogo I do think are top four with Antipin coming along. We have a couple who are third pairing worthy. I think McCabe and Risto are both capable of 1st pair responsibilities but much like Jack on the offense, Risto is not playing to his ability. Bottom line is what we have on paper does not match on ice results. Is this just one of those seasons or something else? Again, who knows.
-
I have a feeling this is going to determine if he stays and Kane goes or the other way around. Possible this is being done to make Sam look better to up his value. If he succeeds on Jack's wing, will it be because it is the right fit for him or is it because Jack and Kane will make him look better? Kind of like Moulson when he was in N.Y.

Something has gotta give here. Their the easiest team to play defense against
They're
-
16 shot first period is pretty good. Keep it up and the goals will come or Khudobin will be the first star.

If Sam was a 4th round pick, there would be no kidding and we wouldn't even be talking about him. Not to beat the dead horse of this summer, but the Sabres should have traded Sam before the "Illusion of Sam Reinhart greatness" was shattered by this years' performance. What can the Sabres get for him now (3-4 round pick?)
Good question. Heres the thing, if the team as a whole is underperforming does it make sense that he is not living up to expectations either. I wonder if the Sabres were doing as well as expected would Sam or anyone else for that matter be doing better too? Now if the team was doing well but he was one of a few not performing then it makes JBot's decision easy. Right now he is a black sheep on a black sheep team. Instead of standing out for lackluster performance, he fits in.
-
Real question: Is Sam the only guy in the NHL who still does his skates up with the tongues sticking out? It legimitely looks like he's wobbling around.
It just doesn't look conductive to speed and any time I've done my skates up like that they've felt way less stable.
Granted, I'm not in th NHL :P
Don't worry. Sam wont be either. J/K

Interesting Lines
#Sabres lines:
Pouliot-Eichel-Pominville
Girgensons-ROR-Okposo
Kane-Rodrigues-Reinhart
Wilson-Larsson-Nolan
I thought Pouliot and ROR worked well together. We shall see.
-
Anyone tracking ice time so far? I am interested to see where our third and fourth lines are at. Reason being is I wonder how feasible it would be to only play the top six along with one or two others for the third period.
-
Shots 24 to 11. Not gonna win games like that.
-
I can imaging Bob Uecker from Major League calling a Sabres game. Lehner would be Serano, Eichel is Wild Thing, Pominville is Taylor, Sam is Rube Baker.

I'm not drinking anyone's anything. Take your condescension and shove up it up your ass sideways. You wanna buy into the woo is me buffalo sucks attitude, you do that. This team lacks the confidence and will to win. They are a bunch of soft ######. Time to grow up or get out. No team is better then them. They lose because they can't ###### get this loser mentality out of their heads. Time to grow up and ###### fight.
LOL. That escalated. Pump your brakes warrior, just a joke. Direct that entire post in a strongly worded letter to every overpaid player on this team. Note: You might need a lot of paper.
-
It's not true. It's the Buffalo loser mentality. Go win the game.
Somebody ate their Wheaties and drank the cool-aid.

If only there was some entity or person whose job it was to keep threads on track. Novel idea but much like the team, the wheels have fallen off this thread. :wallbash: :doh:
