Taro T Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 As bad as the last 4-5 have been; if somebody'd've told ya that the Isles would not be in the lottery and the Sabres had been effectively eliminated by the Winter Solstice BUT the Sabres had a 3 point edge w/ 12 to play; most here (especially given the 1st 2 caveats) would have taken it.

Derrico Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 When Nolan was fired last time there were many fans who wished him well and felt he got a raw deal. This time he can go himself and never come back to the league again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm about to whiskey-up. I really really wish I could have been impressed by Anders' game, but every time i see Nolan get a win on the back of a great Goalie performance with a poorly choreographed toddler dance recital in front of it, it just makes me more angry that people actually think he can coach NHL hockey. This is where I am. " Skate harder boys", is the extent of his coaching input. Irbe needs a sudden visa issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say, if this coaching group stays, we won't have to worry about the goalie situation next season. We won't win 30 games, but at least we won't have to worry about the goalie situation.

So, the team blocking tons of shots was all Lindback, and none of Nolan's "skate harder boys" prodding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if the GM had put some players on the roster that actually play offense, maybe they wouldn't have given up 100 shot attempts.

LGR4GM Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yes they can. yea but if we lose out the yotes would have 2 wins, they are still reliant on us to either beat them or get 4pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 MOTHER ######! Did ANDERS ###### LINDBACK just pitch a .978 against 44 shots and stop three in the shootout? Did a team that is 7-1-2 in their last 10 just fail to score on the worst team in a century except for a flukey bouce? ARE YOU HAPPY GOD!!!! DOES THIS AMUSE YOU!!!!! IS MY PAIN THE SOURCE OF YOUR OMNIPOTENT POWER?!?!? ######. Don't worry, if they don't win the Shart, the Sabres are going to win the lottery.
