Randall Flagg Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Oh, and being swept by the Bruins for the first time in franchise history may have been my least favorite part of last season. Glad we've guaranteed that won't happen this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm sorry, but the exchange where Ray says "I'm dealing with facts, here, in the third period, and you're trying to blow them out of the water,... with reality,..." to RJ was hilarious.

Pokey Jones Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Let's not ignore the fact that Khubodan was a sieve tonight. Come out flying against Detroit and run up a score on them and then maybe you can start gassing the bandwagon up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm glad we've received captain's orders, I was getting anxious about whether or not to be happy.

SwampD Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Kane was totally boarded in the third. I didn't think so at the time so I understand why there was no call, but watching again, he got drilled from behind into the boards.

Huckleberry Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Time to bring ullmark back up and fire one of the goalies Doubt they'll do that, they want him playing a lot of games. Unless both of our goalies really start playing even more horribly. And lehner wasn't all that bad last night, but that first goal was to easy.

LTS Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Wow, doesn't take much to get this bandwagon going..............just don't forget to check the tire pressure before driving too far :) The bandwagon for a team is always going. The question is which fans are on it and which are off it. Given that most posters on this board have continued to post here throughout the worst of times I would say that we've all been on it the entire time. The bandwagon analogy doesn't even work here. You are trying far too hard to inject your negativity into the situation. This isn't the "realist" view you so hoped to provide. This is straight up trying to bring people down when they have a reason to be pleased with the team. No one is on here saying they've fixed everything and its perfect. Nearly every post I've seen is discussing the current moment of the Sabres and their trend over their first 9 games. I haven't seen one post that says the Sabres are now the best team in the NHL or even a playoff team. Most people are just happy they're moving themselves a bit further from the basement. But not you... you just want to tell people they shouldn't be happy with a comeback win, against a rival, in the second game of a back to back, on the road. Let's not ignore the fact that Khubodan was a sieve tonight. Come out flying against Detroit and run up a score on them and then maybe you can start gassing the bandwagon up. The Sabres are 13th in the league in GF. This despite playing the Kings who have given up the least goals, Vegas who have given up the 3rd least, Anaheim the 5th least, and San Jose the 11th least. The problem is that the Sabres are 2nd last in GA (Pittsburgh is the worst). I wonder if the Vegas fans are not excited because they beat the Sabres goalies which have both let in a ton of goals. But let's confine our version of reality to just last night's game. Bruins first goal - Lehners fault. Bruins second goal - A couple of crazy bounces and in Bruins third goal - Lehner could not see the puck Bruins fourth goal - Bounce of defender skate from going wide and into the net Sabres first goal - Khudobin might have that, it was a corner snipe. Sabres second goal - no goaltender doesn't give up a rebound on a puck that hits his shoulder, defender fails to cover Eichel Sabres third goal - turnover again, still Khudobin should have had it. Sabres fourth goal - absolutely flukey goal that is redirected by the defender on the ice's leg into the net Sabres fifth goal - hard to stop the puck when your teammate shoves a player on top of you So by my count, there are 2 goals on Khudobin and 1 goal on Lehner, maybe give the Bruins the second goal if you believe Lehner should have jumped on the puck before it could be shot in. But yea.. a total sieve. So much so that his save percentage, while only .881 was still better than Lehner's at .871. Again, what color is the sky in your reality?

Frieda Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 ..you can cough, fart, sneeze and pee at the same time. when almost everything hurts, and what doesn’t hurt doesn’t work. when work is a lot fun, and fun is a lot of work. when you can live without sex, but not your glasses. you start to fall asleep in the middle of the 3rd period so you go to bed. Only to wake up in the AM see the Sabres won and go WTF? :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millbank Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 We can hope now the team just might start to play now hands less tight to their sticks and more like the players they are .

bob_sauve28 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Remember last year when people said they could take losing so long as this team was more exciting and scoring? They'd take giving up 2 on 1s just to push the offensive pace? I remember those statements.... Last year.. after 9 games the Toronto Maple Leafs were: 2-4-3 26GF 34GA Last year.. after 8 games the Nashville Predators were: 2-5-1 19GF 28GA This year the Sabres after 9 games are: 2-5-2 25GF 35GA We all know where those other two teams ended up. Keep it positive boys... The Sabres still have 2 players in the top 10 in scoring and 3 in the top 15. That's 3 players ahead of Ovechkin, Crosby, Malkin, and P. Kane in overall scoring. Again... the D is bad. We knew the D was bad. It was upgraded in the off-season with Scandella but with Falk and Bogosian out they are stuck with Antipin, Bealieu, and Tennyson. The depth isn't there and if either of those 3 can pan out to be serviceable then great. Nice post, love the info. The shot at my man Beaulieu is off base, IMO but that's my only complaint Goaltending is our weak spot if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 BTW: I’m nominating LTS as SabreSpace MVP for the first 9 games. Like ROR working the boards last night, he’s been relentlessly bringing the optimism while the rest of us fragile little children have been hiding under the bed from the big bad crappy start to the season. Well done sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Here's the thing, this team doesn't look any different from last year with respect to attitude and preparedness. Sure, they looked good last night, if I'm to take everyone's word for it. But can they do it for a few games in a row? Or do they come out against Detroit looking as disinterested as ever? I'm bored with the occasional good effort. It doesn't mean anything if they can't do it regularly. They're just BSing us until they turn that corner.
