Brawndo Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Sabres take on the Isles tonight, their last game before the Christmas Break. After last nights lackluster performance, the Sabres desperately need a win tonight. Although this team seems to lack desperation until the last 10 minutes of the game. Nilsson in net tonight.

GoPre Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Just disappointing. Sabres are now 7 points out of a divisional playoff spot, and they are 10 points away from being a wildcard. Buffalo is 25th in the NHL right now. Pretty much right where analysts projected the Sabres to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'll be on a flight to Raleigh through the new year, won't be able to catch games down there, and I'm not even a little upset about that. Last night I was at the mall and a store had the game on: 2-1 canes with 7 to go, sabres got a PP.... Typically, this is where I just stand there with 800 lb bags just drooling at the TV in public. I watched most of the PP and then walked away!!! 2 to freaking 1 with 5 min to go still and I had zero faith. So to feel better, auntie Ann's pretzel and cheese! F this team right now, F this coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Couldn't you just drive? Might be quicker.It's about 10 or 11 hours to drive from me.... Flight is 3.5..... I dont hate driving, but unless it's a dedicated road trip for fun, anything over 6 hours makes me think about flying. Besides its just me, if I had wife/kids, then I'd def drive Plus I work a bunch when I'm back and I'd rather not waste the days traveling.

CallawaySabres Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Tonight is the first game where I hope they get slaughtered. Rex is not the problem for the Bills, Bylsma on the other hand has somehow smothered the talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'll be "flying through the new year" it seems 3.5 hours for the flight is a bit of a low ball estimate. 'Twas a joke, man. (& obviously a poor one @ that. (If they have to be explained ...))

woods-racer Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'll still be watching. I have to watch the team grow. I knew what was wrong with the team going into the season, it's going as the experts predicted. The true glimmer of hope is the young *who are they* defense-men we have. Unfortunately, only one is playing and he has been paired with Gorges, so we all know how that ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woods-racer Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I wonder if they'll show up for the 1st period tonight? It's baffling. A large measure must be put on coaching, right? They seem confused and listless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig22 Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 An interesting parallel is the US Men's National Team in soccer from the 2010 World Cup and the leadup to it. They simply could not get going in games and continually gave away an early goal (an even bigger deal in soccer). Eventually, they would work themselves into the game and really did succeed, going deep in the Confederations Cup and reaching the knockout rounds at the World Cup. But it was baffling then and it's baffling with this team. There was knowledgeable speculation at the time that it was a poor pregame routine, either too much work the day before or not enough pregame warmup compared to other teams. Does anyone have any insight into Bylsma's morning skate routine versus other teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I think I'll just come in at the start of the 2nd or maybe wait to the 3rd. We all know how the 1st and most of the 2nd will play out. Spot the other team a goal or 2 then try and play catch up by bringing the puck down ice and dumping it in at the blueline without really having any hope of regaining the possession we just gave away. Anyways, something about repeating the same something something definition of something something insanity. GO SABRES ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted December 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I wonder if they'll show up for the 1st period tonight? Coming off a back to back, I doubt it. I'm thinking they show up at the 7 minute mark of the third Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Last night was sad. They do need to offload players and bring some of the young guys up but it won't happen this season. Oh well.. perhaps I watch tonight to start and if they are stinking up the joint I'll move onto something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
