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. Agreed. On the Devils second goal Nelson did not step in front of the shot to block it. He did a lazy semi attempt but no sacrifice. I dont want want to see him on the team next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruppstahl Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 You know what's funny? Or maybe it's sad. We beat St. Louis in a shootout on March 17th, and we beat Pittsburgh in OT on March 1st. If that pair of games goes the other way around and we lose, we would have now lost our 14th game in a row. Eliminate our win over Washington on February 23rd and the losing streak would be 19 games. 7 games left; I would genuinely love to see us lose them all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Thanks Zamboni and God Bless! I've been preaching this for too long. I was happy when they signed Phil as head coach but by the end of his first season, I hated what I saw. I just see an exact continuation of that first season now, even with a slightly improved roster. I don't care about the optics of hiring yet another head coach, I cannot see this team making the playoffs under this coaching staff in the near future. Jbots needs to get busy and hopefully gets a coach with some back bone that won't tolerate mediocre effort and mental mistakes. If he finds one, and we see the same results with no improvement, than this board can call me out on it and I will accept I was wrong on this, but until then I completely agree with you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe as a throw-in on a bigger deal. I think he's okay, at this point a 6/7 kind of guy. He needs to step further up to earn a regular roster spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ETA) Or, if you like simple numbers to remember: they had 21 more points in the first half than last year, but need 12 of 14 just to tie the second half.

Kruppstahl Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Replace the 10 game win streak with a normal amount of points earned over 10 games, so as to adjust for the anomaly of the streak. Then adjust for this year's team having Dahlin and Skinner with his high goal scoring year. You are left with a team that is probably right around as wretchedly bad as last year's. But progress! 5 hours ago, carpandean said: Regulation wins: 0 in the last 14 GP 1 in the last 19 GP 4 in the last 32 GP 9 in the last 53 GP 19 in the last 75 GP Because of the win streak we are not going to end up with a horrible point total at the end of year, in the 60s, reminiscent of the tank years.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Hutton is helpless out there.

That team takes the cake. Even 2014-15, with just 14 regulation wins (only 15 ROW!), 23 wins total, and (again) 51 regulation losses, was demonstrably worse than the "ignore the win streak" 2018-19 Sabres. That said, when not comparing to two of the worst teams ever, this year's team is really, really bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
