SABRES 0311

You rang.

Stats don’t matter. The more advanced the more irrelevant. ? INCOMING!!!!

Oh no you di’nt

Or Jack Eichel

My trust in the Sabres has been so violated I’m joining the MeToo movement. I kid I kid.

Huh. That actually makes sense. Maybe put Wedgewood in net. I think that’s his name.

More talent same result. It’s great we will finish higher than 31st but 31st overall and 9th in the conference have one thing in common. Both play golf in the playoffs.

I now concede the GDT to someone else. Thank you for contributing and good luck to whoever takes it. ?

Just thinking he says the right things into a mic but it doesn’t translate into the team’s performance. I don’t blame him for everything wrong, but I don’t think this team has an identity or real leadership. Something to fall back on when the system and game plan go to hell. I want him on this team because he has skills and someday he may be a good Captain. But he needs to hold teammates accountable and they, along with the staff need to hold him accountable. This team needs something to pull them together and adversity isn’t doing it. Neither is good interviews. Maybe a players only meeting where the have at it. I don’t know.

I agree a lingering injury will slow him down. But a lifeless practice is where a Captain should step up especially if the coach doesn’t. This why I said I wish I could hear what was said in the locker room. The problem is he has checked out before when healthy. If we see it during 45 second shifts the team sees it even more. That kind of stuff is infectious.

Looking forward to the comments tomorrow morning. A lot of “being too hard on a young team”, “crying over one bad game”, and my favorite “Eichel is still in the same league as McDavid”. BTW I do believe Jack is a talented player, just not McDavid talented. The reason why I am upset with him is he checks out of games. If he wasn’t making 10 mil and wearing the C it might not be so bad. If he is too young to expect a full game effort from him take the C away. Lead by example or get out of the way for someone who will.

Made an appointment for the unemployment office.

Careful, he’s a young coach who needs veteran leadership to pick him up. Maybe we should pay him 10 mil a year.

He’s seeing doubles. Again too many hits to the head.

Nice PP selection Phil. Bold strategy.

Power play. Here’s our chance to get back in it.

This. Definitely on the coach if true.

Hey look a power play goal.

Goodnight moon. Goodnight playoffs. Goodnight Phil. Goodnight every excuse.

?

Ya never know. It’s a long season.

Too many hits to the head.

Would love to hear what is being said in the locker room. Any guesses?

I think we all expected a team who plays like they care at the very least. Half of them do.

Good. Sabres are taking advantage of the time and space. Clean passes with no turnovers resulting in a beating. PH has taken this team to a new level.
