They're just not that good. And neither is the staff. They gave up a these past 2 weeks. The effort on the ice is noticeable for its lack of effort. Especially against the teams beneath us in the standings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason is that he's the only three-time World Juniors gold medal winner in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro60 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 These guys have quit. You can see it. No matter what they say in post game interviews, this team has checked out. PH is good as gone. You keep him and you reward the slackers on the squad and alienate the fan base. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 1 regulation win in 21 games. You can all hate me. But time to watch my new team............... Raleigh Hurricanes..........

Gatorman0519 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hopefully we get into the top 5 in the draft. The only thing left to hope for. Dylan Cozens would be nice if we can’t get top 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very soft team and got worn down by midseason. Even more telling is that we're now routinely down by 3 or so goals and no one does anything to invigorate the team. That doesn't mean a staged faceoff fight.... those don't exist anymore. But go take a run at someone. .... I know it's goofy, but the players were down when DLo was traded because he went and did stuff like that to get them going. Did he belong on the top line -- hell no, but a player like that has a role. We have a 6 bottom six forwards and none of them do anything to get the team going.... I guarantee you if the CBJ were down 3-0 on home ice, they'd have volunteers to make something happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PH is good as gone. You keep him and you reward the slackers on the squad and alienate the fan base. I'm not sure why there are some posters arguing against this? It is incredibly noticeable that they've given up. Hamilton is calling it and Nick Kypreos called it last night on Sportsnet. You can hate on those guys if you want but they're not wrong. Look at Ottawa and Detroit. They could opt for the higher draft slot but they are going out with effort- perhaps because it may mean jobs on the club for next year? What's the Sabres excuse? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many wins since the streak ? They gave effort all year with no results. Except the games they came out flat or stunk up the 2nd period. There they just flat out sucked. They're bad.

bunomatic Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I agree we do have some talent. But the results speak for themselves. I can't explain it away. I don't think a new coach would make the ineptitude disappear. Maybe initially but this team is fundamentally flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Well ... I made my beautiful wife a lovely fettuccine Alfredo shrimp pasta dish. Finished a nice Sunday dinner, cleaned up, turn on the TV and here we are down 2- zip at home. Thankfully my judgement was good to spend time with my wife. She is off to work now. I’m stuck with the Sabres. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
