Taro T Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 More like if they play a really good team, they win and if they play a mediocre team they look like crap and lose...almost as if they get really up to play good teams and not so-so teams about the same as they are. 18-19-4 is the record of "a really good team?" :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I feel like I've watched enough to be comfortable concluding: It's much more about the style the other team plays than the Sabres getting up for "good" teams, taking it easy on "bad" ones. Mhm. We match up well against some teams. That's about it I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 It's Cal O'Reilly. You add that kinda firepower it is most unfair to the opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Good call! Great call. I didn't see the game, but, man, based on what I see on the Twitter ... Is Lindy's job secure in Big D? I'm guessing not. I'm going from six to midnight pretty quickly now... Mhm. We match up well against some teams. That's about it I think. Dallas has Amerks-level goaltending. Even Lehner would have found a way to cover up on Eichel's first goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Looking at those Dallas goalies, I'm sure glad we gave a 1st for Lehner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Wouldn't that be something if he was brought back next year? Oh, wouldn't it?! But I don't know that this is the right team for his system. He needs at least one solid goaltender so that one of his defenders can pinch. The Sabs don't have that right now. (And Dallas doesn't even come close.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I don't want Lindy back. I don't want to deal with this place when he gets fired again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Lehner ever relearns how to stop a breakaway, he could be good enough for a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 We have 2 Sabres teams, one that's very good, and another that sleepwalks. We need to kill off the latter so we get the good team all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 @Eleven: I put that there just for you. Thanks for obliging. (Wait - was that a troll?) I was unaware of Dallas's goaltending woes. Am I right that the team's save percentage is sub .900?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabel79 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 .899 as of before today's game, I think. Good thing they're both getting paid eleventy-billion dollars.* *Salary information may not be accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I didn't see the game, but, man, based on what I see on the Twitter ... Is Lindy's job secure in Big D? I'm guessing not. I watched most of the game and had the same thought. They look freaking terrible on defense -- i.e. not like a well-coached team. More like if they play a really good team, they win and if they play a mediocre team they look like crap and lose...almost as if they get really up to play good teams and not so-so teams about the same as they are. I kinda think we're seeing the same thing we saw in the 2nd half last year -- the opponent sees the close-to-DFL Sabres on the schedule and takes its foot off the gas. It's Cal O'Reilly. You add that kinda firepower it is most unfair to the opponent. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 That Reinhart feed on the Eichel goal was... akin to... And with that, Mark Renton had fallen in love. He's gotta be the best passer on the team. He'll find himself among the premiere passers in the league soon, if he isn't already. He's now equaled his assist total from all of last season. Looks like Eichel could catch McDavid for goals soon. And he's missed half the season to date. (Granted Connor has more than a few helpers ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
