Mustache of God Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Special teams killed us again. Take away the shortie and replace it with a pig and we win that game.

Randall Flagg Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 It's annoying how Dan is not only trying to tell us what's happening in the game, but how to feel sympathetic towards the Sabres because of it 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman0519 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 There is no moral victory here. This team has won 4 games in a month. That needs to double at minimum. Need to start winning and putting together winning stretches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 This is where I miss Tim Murray. He loved him some ginormous goalies. He never woulda brought Hutton in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 It just doesn't matter anymore. Botterill needs to address the roster now, like in the next 7 to 14 days, if this season is to have a chance of being salvaged. Not only the PK and top 6 situation, but body size, possession players and another goalie to be honest. We'll know by Christmas if this is another write off season or they'd like to actually make a push. One thing is certain, the way it is looking now, Jacks first 5 seasons are fast becoming a wasted career here in Buffalo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 2 minutes ago, tom webster said: Their goaltending is average to decidedly well below average and their special teams stink. If they hadn’t been bad for so long we’d all be kind of encouraged by this. It’s encouraging, though it’s hard to be that encouraged when, well, no apparent end in sight for goalie issues. And special teams (I guess?) could be improved. We still desperately need that one top 6 forward addition, but yes there are good things to point to. On the other, more important hand though, we’ve lost 15 of our last 20 games. So does it really matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a lot of calls. Lots of PPs. Poor call but no excuse. This should not have gone to OT.

That was our alleged strength. McCabe was very bad. Joker had a tough night. Bogo is rusty and looks sloppy with the puck. Mitts is just not ready for all the responsibilities he had We need a real #2 , Johansson is not a center. Hutton underwhelmed as usual. I really do not care for his “veteran presence”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can recall a game against Toronto 2 years ago where they picked a Sabre to open the lane and score. Regardless I’m sick of losing and I’m sick of waiting for Botts to do something.
