Also, I don’t really think the team is getting “blown up”. I cared for an entire 4 periods in the last 3 months. The Maple Leafs game 2 nights ago and the first tonight. I can't believe how stupid I was to even care one more time for this bunch of losers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the NHL and the Teams and Players that come into the arena. As far as JBot and his frustration, He should grow up and act like a professional in public. And NO, I don't feel sorry for him, he took the job convincing TP he could fix this mess..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 11 minutes ago, Curt said: I’ve seen excellent Buffalo Sabres hockey teams. The 2019-20 Sabres are not one of them. That was pretty easy to see from the very start. They are going to lay an egg once in a while. What I want to see, as a judge of their mindset, is how do they respond. Is this the start of a 5 game losing streak, or will they come back with stronger performances? This is where I'm trying to draw optimism from, the belief that they have chance here to actually have a strong, respectable finish. It's not a pointless run to 9th, it's about seeing that this roster and the players on it (most of which WILL be back) have turned a corner. Allowing me to cling to the belief that we are a 2C or good goalie away (or both) from being a playoff team. When is the last time we finished a season strong? Was it 2013? 2012? One of those two - they certainly didn't finish strong in any of the seasons after that. It's been a long time. 8 years? I'd like to see it. I'd like to have hope. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before tonight, we hadn't seen the tire fire that is the Ottawa Senators hang a crooked number on the Sabs. To me it's more about the missed opportunity and slightly shortened runway. Ottawa has seemed to have our number this year. If I'm not mistaken they have the Leafs', too. Them or Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh goodness, no, I don’t feel sorry for him either. But I don’t feel sorry for people with season tickets either. It’s a lot of money to be spending on hockey, even if the team was good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s what I think would be best for the team long term. They need to perform best they can, even through adversity. I honestly don’t think that losing Sheary and/or Vesey would have a huge impact on the on ice talent level. I’m not advocating trading away 6-7 players, just a couple who are surely not returning.

IMO none of them are and we'll see mass turnover or some might say blow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Hutton was a problem, again. McCabe not being able to handle an excellent pass for an open net shot to tie hurt too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
