sabremike Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 You are not beating NHL level goaltending doing nothing but shots from way out with nobody in front of the net. How can our players and coaches not understand this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time was probably in 2007. The team is soooo unlikable. I can't think of a single player I root for. Just boring uncharismatic dill holes. Do the Sabres lead the league in posts? How many games do teams win hitting multiple goal posts per game? This team is so far from being watchable, I don't know if I'll live that long.

Back to the center spine lacking scenario, as well as the lack of heart and grit from players throughout the line up. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you your gutless Buffalo Sabres, courtesy of ownership and the current GM, both of which have had a number of years to fix this crap. 4 minutes ago, Brawndo said: Dahlin sighting in the press box per Lance Lysowski Sorry for his injury, but, being completely honest, he belonged there long before the injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, sure... but for a game here and there to get a respite and see the game, not for an indefinite amount of time with possible lingering effects and an increased likelihood of future concussions.

I just think back to guys like Brind'Amour who never seemed to lose an important face off. It'd be nice to have someone on our side once every 50 years... Oh wait, we traded him to St.Louis for pucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the nature of the thing that you don't even realize it when you DO have that guy because even that guy never feels like he wins the important ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Olofsson knee is more machine than man. And also, good on going to the net. Keeps the goalie from just playing shot, and Golofsson takes advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Nice play all around. Jack's at what 6 games straight with points? Check that, 7. Edited November 28, 2019 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
