I can remember that stuff in my head Cool. That’s fine. But you said you didn’t understand what it meant and called it analytics, so I was trying to clarify. Edit: and by the way, I agree with you. If you just finished intently watching the game, then yeah, this chart is probably not going to tell you anything you don’t already know. Especially in a game as lop sided as this one.

SwampD Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 That game looked like the garbage under my trucks passenger seat. How do we start a "Jack, cut you ****ing hair" campaign? I'm convinced that's the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack_in_MA Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 When you have as many #1/2 overall picks, “generational talents”, it comes down to scheme, chemistry, and leadership. It’s never one single thing. I’m (still) trying to figure out which is the primary root cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 I think the best news out of this is: 22-7 in favor of the Rangers in shots from the slot (by far the Sabres' worst game) and we didn't lose both points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't come from coaching. It only comes from playing together and time. We're so close. I don't think we have seen what this team is just yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Tell you what. RK should put them back on the ice and make them skate goal line to goal line until they can't stand up anymore, aka pull a Herb Brooks.

Slack_in_MA Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) I am concerned about the leadership. I’m an Eichel fan, and maybe it’s me, but when I see them celebrate a goal, it doesn’t seem as joyful/enthusiastic/celebratory as other teams. It doesn’t seem like they look at each other. I contrast that with the Bills, who genuinely seem to like playing with each other. Again, what my eyeballs tell me.

Pimlach Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Well, in pregame I commented on the importance of this game as a statement game. Rangers ripe for putting down in a hole. Poor performance tonight. Lucky to get a point. Cant believe I’m saying our goalie stole a point for us. Leadership lacking. Dissatisfied customer here.

Zamboni Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Not the best game tonight. Ullmark has played four in a row. Time for a Hutton game I think. Im not saying that saying Hutton was bad tonight… In fact he was rather good. It’s just that he’s played four in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like a team with 7 or 8 new players in the lineup and very little training camp to get ready. They seemed to be skating into each other an awful lot.

Don’t get me wrong, I kind of enjoy the mystery of it all. Don’t ever change @spndnchz!

Out of sync and a step behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his defense, he has the nastiest, rattiest hair of anyone I can think of. He doesn't have a lot of styling options. What a garbage hockey game tonight. We were lucky to steal a point; give props to Ullmark; he played really well. I wonder if they will be interested in playing hockey next game?!

I think he has to learn how to not put the entire franchise on his shoulders and also to divest himself from his own struggles. It's not easy, not sure if he can do it, but he needs to find a way. 1 hour ago, Zamboni said: Not the best game tonight. Ullmark has played four in a row. Time for a Hutton game I think.

I've had quite a few beers tonight but I feel confident in pointing out Hutton did not play tonight and he's not played four in a row. 😛 Perhaps you had one more beer than me?

I mean, I watched the game,… so I'm pretty sure what I think it means, but these posts make me crazy. I'm already pissed we lost. Now I'm even angrier cuz I think I'm stupid, as well. It's RK's clipboard. For the games he doesn't feel like coaching he just has all the players do some finger painting on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 If Jack does the manbun I’ll divorce this team with malice. They have to turn the corner this season. Anything else is a fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 So I don't get to watch NYC area games because of MSG blackout... but from what I gather Sabres pooped the bed... reading the posts. One good game one bad... sigh sound like more of the same. The chaotic nature of Jack Eichel... any mood stabilizers docs here would recommend for him?

Trettioåtta Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Didn’t watch the game and tjay seems like the right call. But, if you’re going to play like crap then leaving with a point is pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
