dEnnis the Menace Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Pitiful to watch. That entire game was just torture (I started watching in the beginning of the second). I f*cking hate the Flyers. From the start of the 2nd to the end of the game was torture. You missed ana amzing 20 mins of hockey in the first tho!

Iron Crotch Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Horrible play by MAG, but in his defense he does lead the team in +/- by a pretty good margin and is a rookie. So hopefully he learns from this... We certainly miss Myers and Leo in 4-on-4 situations. In some sense, Lindy had no choice but to put MAG out there in OT.

ThePebble19 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I just don't get it...after the first 19:59, this team completely stopped skating. They were lazy, made piss-poor passes and looked generally disinterested. On another note, I am further convinced that interference is no longer a penalty in the NHL. Kassian should have been called for it in the OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesportsbuff Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Kassian should have been called for it in the OT. It was an unintentional collision and neither player saw each other. Kass just got the better of it. Good non-call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lafuchs Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Erhoff just played the worst game i've seen a dman play in a long time. He was involved in almost every flyer scoring chance. I know it was a bad pass by grangani.... But erhoff should have seen it was going to be a turnover and headed back quicker....just despicable. On another note....the flyers remind me of the wings of the east....just always seem to know where each other are and the puck just seems to always land on their stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Remember when Miller was good against the breakaway? Yeeeaaahhh. :wallbash: And lgr, i will not argue with you again about weber vs mag. Breakaways are hard to stop even when you're good at it. This one's not on Miller. I've got to agree. You give a guy that much speed space and time and it'll be hard on any goalie. Really bad turnover. Especially when it's Giroux on the breakaway.

No, it didn't escape me, I was more just referring to the play on the ice. I was just starting my frustration from the time of the first goal. So, aside from the complete and utter destruction of Rinaldo by Tropp, they looked completely disinterested. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 How'd that work out? Too much from one "kid." If you want to blame Ruff for something, and you probably do, it's this: Ehrhoff and MAG together, even-strength, should not happen under any circumstances other than 4 D-men injured. IMO, MAG shouldn't be out there to begin with, but I'm not fighting that battle tonight. Watching Rookie D-men grow up usually ain't pretty. McNabb struggled as well.

sabres1970 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 In all seriousness, all knee jerk reactions aside, there is literally no reason why Gragnani should ever have to suit up for the Sabres again. Leopold comes back, send MAG down, keep Finley up. Wait till Myers/Weber comes back, send Finley back down and decide from there. MAG is inept, and that's not just a reaction from tonight.

sabres1970 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 This is a game we needed. We at least made up for a putrid second period by tying it with 2 minutes to go. And one bad mistake by an incompetent defenseman ruins it. Not saying we would have won otherwise, but to give the game away like that...wow. BTW anyone that blames that OT goal on Miller needs to get their heads checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Watching Rookie D-men grow up usually ain't pretty. McNabb struggled as well. As did Herr Errorhoff. He was terrible. I wonder if the Sabres scouting staff knew what you get when you get the hoff. He's high risk and makes some bonehead decisions with the puck.

thesportsbuff Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Watching Rookie D-men grow up usually ain't pretty. McNabb struggled as well. I didn't think McNabb was bad, other than a couple shots of his getting blocked and going back the other way. But defensively he was sound. You have to worry about Miller though. Not that any goals are on him, but gets his helmet knocked off by McNabb, takes a puck to the face, then took at least one slapper to the facemask, MAY have taken another one (couldn't tell if Coburn's bomb went off his helmet or shoulder).

fiftyone Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Gragnani should never play another game in the NHL. That was the king of giveaways. NO ONE MAKES THAT PASS. NO ONE. Holy overreaction, batman. On another note, I didn't like much of what I saw from McNabb tonight. Not talking about poor decisions with the puck like we saw with Ehrhoff a few times and obviously Grags at the end, but just overall play. He looked lost more than once in our zone and doesn't seem to be able to handle guys down low. The offensive zone is even worse, but I realize that isn't his game. I think he will come along eventually, but I think tonight made it clear that he isn't ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 As did Herr Errorhoff. He was terrible. I wonder if the Sabres scouting staff knew what you get when you get the hoff. He's high risk and makes some bonehead decisions with the puck. He did stop a goal at one point. But other than that... The kids I was referring to were mainly Adam and Kassian. But as for the bolded, you can stick it up your ass. I'm far from Ruff's worse critic here on this board - you've been treating people like crap here for the past several weeks - if you want to keep getting personal, then I guess keep it up. I've not liked MAGs from the get-go, and I've made that plain. You lump everyone into two categorie and attack based on that. And you dare to have called me "miserable" - you're a dark, nasty person hidden behind the internet. Just relax. Try to breathe through your nose. I'm just generalizing regarding the Lindy-related posts of late. EDIT: I thought Adam was good, as usual; Kassian, ok until OT, when he really should have received 2 for interference. Stupid, kid-like play. I don't want kids out there in OT, generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulFuture Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 This loss has some to do with the turnovers, that I will give you. But, it is just another showcasing example of the complete lack of forecheck and finishing on this roster. If you look at time in the offensive zone, Buffalo is pathetic, worse than pathetic. If you look at scoring opportunities and failure to capitalize, once again, this roster has a pathetic track record. Said it before, and say it again, changes are still needed on this roster for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's high risk and makes some bonehead decisions with the puck. It's a short bench....Erhoff was out there for 30 minutes or more against a great fore-checking team.

... Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Just relax. Try to breathe through your nose. I'm just generalizing regarding the Lindy-related posts of late. Really? Gee...I guess my education failed me because in context it reads like a statement directed right at me. And as for "the kids", in general, "the kids" are the only source of excitement and energy this team has right now, MAGs being the exception. The regulars had 35 minutes to do more than tie the game.
