Eleven Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Bah. Lucic will bring up the Sabres lack of response as often as he can. Why not. It was an embarrassment. Tanner Glass took a few for his team last night and Milan respects that. Its a tough guy code. There's a bond amongst tough guys that step up. Nothing wrong with that. It takes courage to step up in situations like that. The Sabres at that time turned tail. I can't say I would have stepped up in that situation because you just never know.Maybe I would have turned tail. But a team mate should have stepped up, took a few lumps ( or given some ) and this whole shitshow would have been over with that game. No one did so it lives on. I hate this false memory of what happened. The Sabres responded, but by the time they got there, the officials wouldn’t let anything happen. It’s all on video for the world to see.

PASabreFan Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 It's funny to watch the Lucic clip again on the Sabres broadcast. Rob points out that the Sabres on the ice "addressed" things and sent a message to Lucic "that something was not right." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sabres really wanted to send a message they could have. The refs can't stop everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very possible the incident was just a proxy that allowed a lot of simmering problems with the team to escape. There certainly was a narrative of the team that management and ownership bought into. The very origin of the tank, perhaps. I can't allow this narrative. If the Sabres really wanted to send a message they could have. The refs can't stop everything. Right after the hit or over the course of the rest of the game? Who was out there? Sekera, Vanek, Gaustad, Pominville and Myers. Gaustad did beat himself up for not doing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They let Lucic and his teammates get away with it. That's all there is to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of the few who thought it was ok to run Thomas. I got on. The next game, Gaustad went at Lucic asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Sounds like Grubauer has now been getting starts over healthy Brayden Holtby in Washington. He might not ever make it to the market as a viable net option for us if they choose to find a taker for Holtby in the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Lehner for Holtby (E3) Yes please! I would take on Holtby in a heartbeat, he'd be a pure upgrade in every sense of the word. Even with him having a lackluster season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre fan Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I had on a Cap game last weekend and they were saying then that Holtby is struggling and Grubauer has been the better goalie of late. We seriously need a stud goalie like the Leafs got with Anderson but I doubt Washington will give him up in a trade. We can dream though...

LTS Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Sedins retire https://twitter.com/Canucks/status/980847158554324992 It was coming... this season ending in no playoffs I am sure is helping seal the deal. Time for a new era in Vancouver. I wish I got to see more of them but Canucks games are hard time come by without a lot of extra effort (or expense).

Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 The Sabres won the very first draft lottery in NHL history. The looser was Vancouver. I think it would be poetic justice if Vancouver were to win this coming lotto and start a rebuild after the Sedins retire with the #1 in the coming draft.

IKnowPhysics Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Sedins retire https://twitter.com/Canucks/status/980847158554324992 Van will almost definitely retire their jerseys. They are the far-and-away leaders in all time Canucks regular season games played, points, and assists. Daniel is far and away 1st in goals (including GWG, and PPG). Henrik is 7th in goals and 1st in consecutive games played (679!). The trade engineering that took place to acquire their draft picks was special, and those two players defined that team from the time they were drafted until the time they retire(d).

PASabreFan Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Schopp said today — and I couldn't tell if he serious — that the Sedins have been to known to switch jerseys in a game without anyone knowing. That's wild, if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the Sabres to get 1st and pick Dahlin. You guys need Dahlin and deserve 1st. If the Oilers win, I will ... Risto and Dahlin would make a nice 1st pairing.
