Other teams have proven this. Not sure where we are in the league model. It was speed, then it was muscle (L A. Kings), now it puck movers and speed (or so I thought). Now we're back to muscle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres would get destroyed with this lineup of wet paper towels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was a great team. Not dominant. But great. At the very least entertaining and guys who busted their ass no question.

OverPowerYou Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) With the addition of Brandon Montour all we need is a Chris Drury. A second line center who will block pucks with his face and score 25 goals and we will be set. Maybe a power forward who can hit and score too Edited February 27, 2019 by OverPowerYou 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 How did this team that seemed to know early in the year how to play 60 minutes forget in December and never remember? Jbot can’t keep cleaning house. He’s going to have to ride with most of these guys next year also and sadly unless they becoming willing to work each night this team is doomed. Doomed I say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Nice hold in the zone by Montour there. And then a back check at the end of his shift. He can move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 It's the same story, nearly night after night. We need to make some significant changes this off season. While I support this team with everything that burns within me, Botterill has more than just "some work to do". He got Montour, great. He removed ROR, I have to believe there were things behind the scenes there that activated that scenario, so while I don't give it a complete pass, we must move on. Risto has to go, as much as it saddens me, he has to be moved this off season. We need upgrades at just about every defensive position, we need beef on the wings, we need a center spine that can roll, we need another 2 wingers to compliment that center spine, we need better coaching, we need better Power Play coaching, we need a better water boy for christs sake, hell, we even need to replace the anthem singer...…………………… Somewhere, there is a meeting of the Hockey Gods! Oh Gordie Howe and your disciples here my plea. Send the Buffalo Sabres one individual in management, just one, with a freaking brain...……………………………………………..all praise be to the hit trick...……………..Gordie Howe be thy name...…………………………...SCORES!
