LikeEich Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I don't give a damn why he's doing it. He's doing it. If it were a contract year for everyone, I'd say ya wtf why not give him the C. But it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyhound Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I’m hoping Botterill will have no hesitation on massive changes at some point DURING the season if the losing continues. I think a lot of these players don’t fit the style of play Housley wants. There are still a ton of Tim Murray’s Guys here and Murray had a different vision of how he wanted the team to play. Housley wants speed, a lot of our forwards are slow. But a few contracts will be hard to move. Moulson, Okposo, O’reilly What do you do if they're all stuck in 3rd gear?

Radar Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Ristolainen is terrible Agree. Even watching on TV it's obvious. Hit a little game one. Since a liability defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billznut Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 oh know we gotta do what the bills are doingSadly that’s what happens when teams change coaches and GM’s. Generally they do a partial or total rebuild. A lot of the Sabres parts don’t fit anymore. And we paid BIG money for those 3 I mentioned. Not easy to unload any of them.

Trettioåtta Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 This team is built on Eichel. He needs to figure it out. You never see Crosby or Toews or Kopitar etc.etc. give up like this. They fight on and inspire their teams to follow them. Jack seems to be the first to stop skating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Jones Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Kane is playing like he wants a big contract. Eichel is playing like he got one and no longer cares. ROR is playing like he wants out of here. Reinhart is playing like my grandma. Is Moulson in the press box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billznut Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 What do you do if they're all stuck in 3rd gear?I think some of our guys can’t even get out of second gear honestly. Just not a fast team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trettioåtta Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Based on the fact he give 100% every game. No one else does. Agreed. Him and maybe Okposo are the only ones trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 If it were a contract year for everyone, I'd say ya wtf why not give him the C. But it's not. I'm cool with disagreeing on this dude, we may not find common ground. But Kane plays like this all the time, not just in contract years.

LikeEich Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) What I see is a team that has a mentality problem, they all want to score that goal but none of them want yo work for it. They don't wanna get to the dirty areas at both ends of the rink to make the plays. So, let them try their way. How many more losses like this until they start buying in to what they're being told! Sure we could recycle coaches every year or the players could take accountability. I'll take a few rough loses in October, but there better be some light here soon Edited October 9, 2017 by LikeEich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Kane is playing like he wants a big contract. Eichel is playing like he got one and no longer cares.

I might have to stay out of GDTs til Thanksgiving this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyhound Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 How long before he quits in disgust? Probably tempted but, definitely thinking Nashville wasn't all that bad, and what the hell did I get myself into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moulson, Okposo, O’reilly so let's look at Bobblehead's guys: Josefson - Griffith Tennyson Blow You Scandella Johnson (he resigned him) Larsson (same) Girgs (same) Pomminvile (baggage required to get Scandella) Lehner (Resigned him) Murrays" guys: Kane Eichel O'Reilly Reihart Risto McCabe Bogo Moulson (have to be fair) Gorges (same) Lehner (again to be fair) This idea that Bobblehead upgraded the talent level is a fallacy. We just traded garbage for trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is Thanksgiving for me ;) Did a memo go out that they'd start giving full effort on American Thanksgiving? Must have missed it.
