Refuting

How does Girardi still have a job then? Defense is EASILY the biggest problem. Has been for all these years. I would tell every defenseman that's not named Dahlin that they can't pinch. Ever. If you pinch you're benched. Next guy that gives up an odd man rush is traded to Anaheim

At least they're scoring and getting a ton of shots on net. They need a defensive specialist coach. You would think that scoring goals would be harder than preventing them

They refuse to play defense

Granato needs to spend the next week of practices teaching ONLY defense

They'd have to pay me to go

I remember the Sabres being down 4-1 against Boston and Phil Housley pulled the goalie with more than 3 minutes left. It was hilarious

Under

LOL @ Contempt

They're gonna tie then lose in overtime epic comeback epic fail

I want the win but get at least a point you jerks

Pull the goalie now

Looks like we're gonna have to go for the onside kick I mean pull the goalie strategy tonight.

He shouldn't be part of it now

Man I hope not but Vancouver is no slouch of a team

Fart noise

If you can lose lose 5 in a row, you can win 5 in a row. LETS GO

Doesn't matter who's in net if you're constantly giving up odd man rushes

What up Thorny When do they play again I got the feeling a 5 game winning streak is coming up

The answer is simple. A lack of fundamental defense. Defense at the most basic level

There's nothing impressive predicting the Sabres are gonna stink when they have stunk for the last 12 years. You're not exactly going out on a limb there

And the Sabres are gonna WIN THE CUP

Lol he's been the coach for less than two years. Do you want him fired already

Loool it would be. F it we're gonna lose anyway

Agreed. But it's like an onside kick in football. Low percentage and a desperate measure. If my team doesn't get the onside kick I just chalk it up as a loss and move on They didn't pull the goalie. Oh well. We played hard and lost to a very good team, If not the best. Tomorrow's a new day

That's fine and I agree you should do it. They were down 2 goals though. I'd like to see the statistics on how many goals are scored per goalie pull
