I feel bad for subjecting her to this, I apparently deserve to suffer, but she is innocent. For better or worse, man, for better or worse. If I put Bills and Sabres devotion in my wedding vows, I'd be single today. 1 minute ago, Gatorman0519 said: 13 wins in the past 50 games someone said... if true that is mind boggling So the Bills signed more free agents than the Sabres won games. Amazing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because EN goals against happen so frequently to the Sabres. Most likely due to their problems with the man advantage pointed out in this thread: over-handling the puck, lack of offensive possession, inability to hit the net, moving the puck slowly, etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) 11 minutes ago, Formerly Allan in MD said: Yes, really. The Jersey announcers even said the penalty on Sobotka shouldn't have been called and initially agreed that Erod was pushed into the goalie, which he clearly was, on the disallowed goal. Sobotka is a bum and he had three lazy penalties. All looked legit. The goalie interference call could have gone either way. Schnieder is terrible. He gave up huge rebounds and we were to lazy to crash net and get them. We gave up two power play goals to a team that was 3 out of the last 45. We had a late PP and mustered 1 SOG. This team needs to own their terrible record. They are moribund. Edited March 26, 2019 by Pimlach 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I’m at a loss on where to go from here. This team could be 2-3 years before we are competitive. We have 0 scoring depth and need a goalie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Dammit Skins, couple of great opportunities on the replays I saw. Was at school, missed all but the last 5 minutes of the game. Every game I hope for a win, all the while staring at the league standings...………...for the wrong reasons...………...again!!! I feel dirty hoping for a high draft pick, all while wanting them to win. When will this end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, and when you're poor on the man advantage, the other team will score on the EN at higher rate than the league average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our frustration is the lack of possession time when we pull the goalie. There needs to be more urgency. We need to have more people on loose pucks. When you don’t have a goalie then every man needs to understand the importance of possession and fight like mad for the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Forecheck Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 What is most worrisome is the coaching staff has delivered no answers. They can't stop the sinking to the bottom of the Marinas Trench. We just sink and sink and sink. I would also add you can say the players are working hard if you want. But, you can see the edge is off their game- they won't sell out for this staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch them just like the rest of ya'll, and I can't even begin to say what's wrong. I just have nothing. My only question I guess is, how does it come to this some 4 years after we seriously started to jettison the roster? How can a team not find any chemistry, or muster any sustained energy to compete in games to win them? I'm at a loss, every game it's just messed up now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have either of you come to the conclusion that it’s mainly the coaching staffs fault? If and when you do, the results aren’t that surprising or baffling. I haven’t been “at a loss” as to why we suck most games for about 3-4 months now. I’m not saying, implying or suggesting the roster is deep. It needs upgrades for sure, but IMO the main Achilles heel night after night is the inept coaching staff. It’s just putrid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
