Dahlin needs to gain 15 pounds to compete with the men. He will, but at 18, he could eat an extra pizza a night and not gain an ounce. He needs a good summer of training. Same with Tage. Tage could gain 20 on his frame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODO Hockey Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Jets owned Sabres with their size, we look like a youth team vs a adult team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 This team can't match up against typical WC team, of which the Jets are one of the most WC teams there are. I think that Jack must still be trying to play through his injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman0519 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Jacks still learning. He’s not the problem. The problem is your other 3 centers have combined for about 12 goals total and you have 3 wingers that are of any threat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Good game guys! I thought both goalies played really well. Nothing wrong with Dahlin that a couple of years worth of experience won't fix. If you're interested, maybe we can fabricate an off-season trade involving Trouba and Dahlin?

Pimlach Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 I understand the frustration but that was a desparate team and they clearly have more talent and experience than the Sabres. We we had at least five great rushes in the 3rd to score and take the lead. Hellenbeck (sp?) made saves he didn’t know he made, he let giant rebounds out. We just could not convert, despite getting the better of the play The Jets used there size and interfered all game. They never missed a chance to blast someone. Look at the Jets, the Caps, and even the Bolts. You can tell we need more talent with size and grit. One bad shift, one breakdown, they had chances to clear, it was not all Eichel I just don’t get you guys quitting before the game is over. I don’t get all the negative comments. Blaming Eichel for the last goal. There was a lot of blame to go around. They need to learn and move on. We are not at the Jets level, but we still have a shot at 8th. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job was protecting the back post from exactly what happened. His read there was as bad as his pinch on the shortie. This blaming Jack is misplaced. We will be good when Casey and Dahlin make the same sort of progress Jack and Sam have made. Takes time.

thewookie1 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 The last goal isn't on Eichel at all; he was dog tired and had already blocked a shot which seemed to slow him as well. Okposo got picked and then Wheeler found a soft spot after running the Sabres in a circle. I'm angry we couldn't get one point out of their great effort; they truly went to the finish with a Stanley Cup Contender. We still have work to do, and the Sabres still are not out of the hunt by any means. Hutton played well and didn't have any freaky goals go in on him so hopefully that's over with. Can someone please trick Sobotka and Scandella into thinking they won a cruise to the Bahamas and keep them there. Did Laine play? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 The Sabres played well enough to win. They were worn down and a few mental lapses did them in. These are the signs of a young team that is going through some growing pains. They have come a long way, but are not there yet. It is February 10th and the Sabres are still battling for a playoff spot and likely will be up until the end. They, generally, are fun to watch again. I was not asking for more then that this season. In the last 5 seasons by February 10th we were so far out of the playoff hunt it was ... Anyway, who's next. Let's get 'em!! GO SABRES!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played well, but the Jets and other teams are really in playoff mode now. We are still fighting, which is a heck of a lot better than the last 5+ years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed a shot to tie Pitts for 8th, damm even one point would have helped. But im in every game, until the final buzzer. Feels great to be in the playoff race. Every team we play knows we can beat them on any given night. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Maurice's strategy for the offensive cycle is entirely predicated on their blatant pick plays going uncalled. I'm not blaming a Sabre for that goal, it was a clear pick on KO, and was a missed penalty. They were getting away with interference all game. And the guy who scored the winning goal shoulda been in the box for a BLATANT slew foot on Pominville. Sabres deserved this game. Laine is also a terrible hockey player. A complete non-entity.

The idea that he doesn't know how to play with teammates is objectively false, as Skinner is having a career year stapled to his hip, he can turn the corpse of Pominville into an occasionally useful player, and for years players of varying ability all perform better when skating with him. But yea, he can't play with others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
