deluca67 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I heard on WGR that Lindy's first game as Sabres head coach was against the Blues. Will his last game also be against the Blues? One thing for certain, if the Sabres don;t win tonight they will fall out of 11th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRobertEichel Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I think the ideal time to fire Lindy would be after Monday night's loss and not tonight's loss. It would give the new HC the entire All-Star break to get ready for his new job. Looking at the standings, the Sabres are 1 point away from the bottom of the East and 4th worst in the entire NHL. if this is Hockey Heaven, I shudder to think what Hockey Hell is like. For all the WNY lacrosse fans: Bandits play Knighthawks in BCA tonight at 7:30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakstream Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 This one could get very very ugly. On one hand we have the NHLs worst team right now. On the other hand, we have one of NHLs best teams, and THE best hometeam. No matter who Blues put in net, the Sabres, who can't score, will face a goalie who's among the leaders in goalie stats. But I've been in acceptance since we couldn't beat the Islanders at the start of this road trip. If we can't win agaist the worst team on the trip, I don't think we will win any games on this trip, except maybe Montreal. But I will watch as always. Let's go..

kishoph Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 If big changes are to be made, the All-Star break is the best time to do it. I don't think we'll see anything done (front office wise) till the season's over, then it'll probably be Regier to go and leave Lindy's fate up to the new GM, I hope that they're both let go during the All Star break, but I don't see it happening. As far as the players go, I think we might see some movement soon, but I put most of the blame on Lindy and Regier, we do have some talent on the ice, but they need someone to coach and motivate them.

Pville29 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 After all those years watching the sabres played, one thing i noticed is that they NEVER wins at St-Louis no matter how bad or how good the blues were at that time it was always a big L at the end of the game. No matter who the blues put in the net, i don't see the sabres scoring more than 2 goals on Ken Hitchcock defensive team. Hang in there people cause Lindy will be fired after another defeat at New Jersey tuesday night. P.S. By the way happy birthday Spndnchz!!!!!!!! :clapping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apathy has set in, and as an owner that would be my worst fear..Been traveling last week, and i madeno effort to find a bar to watch games, and now i agree with DeLuca. As i said,apathy, not anger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude_Verret Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 PREDICTION: 2-3 Players Will Be Traded on Deadline day - (Stafford, Roy, Boyes, Leopold, and Leino are the usual suspects)... Lindy and/or Darcy will be fired the day after the season ends.... This is how I see things unfolding as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spndnchz Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Thanks for the B-day wishes. Can we all do ourselves a favor and keep the GDT about the game? We've got a deal thread, a Ruff thread and a Darcy thread. Here's hoping the rift in the locker room doesn't affect the play on the ice tonight. :bag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I just want to see one thing tonight and, to me, it's more important that a win. I want to see the entire team, including Lindy, get some confidence back. I want to see players pass like the mean it. I want to see players shoot first over passing when the oportunities present themselves. I want to see everyone get mad instead of exasperated. If someone misses a wide open net, I don't want to see them look to the heavens with a "Why me?" face. I want them to smash their stick and get pissed. I want to see Lindy yelling at his players and the refs, not give his own version of the WTF wave with that piece of paper in his hands. I want to see players talking on the bench and getting animated, not sitting there doe-eyed, in silence like they're in after school detention. I want to see a team.

I want to see an emotional team. The game against Chicago was especially disturbing to me. Adam not defending himself when challenged by Stuart, noone standing up for Gerbe when Wheeler tried to embarass him, countless physical plays that had no answer by our guys. There seems to be no sense of pride among this group right now. I want to see some emotion and pride out there. And right now, I'd rather see a productive emotional release that costs us a goal or even the game than see emotionless, cold, safe play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is quickly spiraling downward, and at this point, play like crap and win, is better than play great and lose 3-1. The playoff light at the end of the tunnel is growing dimmer by the day, and a "moral victory" isn't going to make the light shine brighter.

bunomatic Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Teams are lining up for an opportunity to play this collection of players. Team is too strong a word right now for the Sabres. Lets hope they look deep inside themselves and find a semblance of pride. As Weave mentioned I too worry about the guys not being pissed enough to defend each other when challenged in an embarrassing way by opponents. The Gerbe/Wheeler incident stood out. Cody is the only guy willing to drop em for a team mate which is a sad state of affairs for any franchise. We can always hope but with the hitchcock system I'm afraid this will be ugly to watch.
