On paper the team looks like they can compete. What in the blue ***** is the major malfunction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has had an effect for years on the team and its drafting. The Sabres had the largest scouting department in the league from like 2013ish to 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing This may explain why they stink on ice in the shoot out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt any of them are going to “skate through a wall” for him. Nothing will change until there is a REAL head coach in town. And even then...who knows? Nothing will change until the core players are flushed. They kill coaches. The players are “the culture” that we don’t like. They made this culture. Everyone on this team should be considered tradeable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 The old school way to shake this game off? Score a late 3rd period goal, then win a fight, then comeback strong the next game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players are “the culture” that we don’t like. They made this culture. Everyone on this team should be considered tradeable. Everyone is trade-able but who want most of them? Eakin, Okposo, Skinner, Hutton, Girgensons, JoJo and Miller, have zero trade value or less. We’d have to pay someone to take Skinner or KO off our hands. At this point I want Risto, McCabe, Reinhart, Cozens, Dahlin and Mitts back and no one else. I’m going to assume Lazar, Eakin, Girgensons, Skinner and probably KO will be back because there isn’t any market for them and Lazar is on a cheap deal.

If this had been a must-win game, the coach would have pulled the goalie when they held the puck in the Boston zone with a little over two minutes to go (and very likely well before that). You can score three goals in two minutes. The new coach threw in the towel. So this wasn't a must-win game? Why not? Hashtag losing culture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning the “bad Dahlin”, or the “might be good someday” Dahlin? I saw nothing different with him, or anyone tonight. New coach and fans in the stands do not matter. Hockey Cures Cancer Night and they played like crap again. They are a disconnected group of babies. Look at the Bills and contrast the difference.

thewookie1 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Dahlin looked a little better, showed off some of his cool stickhandling. Why does no one know how to pass or shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
