PerreaultForever Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Just now, Claude Balls said: Yeah, I was ready to throw Mitts on the trash heap, but he has turned his game around. But I wish he woulda gone after Marchand better. He shied away from him. He looked like a high school math nerd being bullied. Actually looked scared. Sad that nobody else got involved. We were never in this game. They are so much stronger on the puck . Tokarski was not good. We might have already burned him out. Thompson is back to being a useless giraffe. I'm going to exaggerate here for the sake of the example, but this guy wants to be or thinks he can be Connor McDavid and has to learn to be Tom Wilson. Until he gets that mindset into his head he's not going to be anything. Borgen was okay. Caggiula slightly more noticeable but still a non factor. Overall this is what it was, a bunch of kids in over their heads, hesitating, disorganized, and afraid or uncertain. Either way, tentative and timid. Our only hope tomorrow is they take us lightly and UPL dazzles in a surprise. Hall didn't score, but he's using his body more and he does seem to fit in as a Bruin, with their style, far better than he did here. Can't stand that whole thing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he’s not going to. The Bastards have a far more veteran team with a lot of players that have played together for years. The Sabres lineup is a lot of young players and patchwork stuff. I’m not disappointed at all with the result. The Sabres tried and this was the best they could get with what they have against who they were playing. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If and when we find a front office to turn this around, this is the model I like. Boston plays the style I like to watch and cheer for. Being in St Louis, I enjoyed seeing the Blues “out Boston” them. The Bruins are a team I really respect but never cheered for. Right.....I'd take that. Boston has talent, they are not Meatheads. Boston is better than Pittsburgh, Washington and the Islanders as far as I see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fanbase would have rioted rather than give JJ the net for 3 in a row or 5 of 7 so he could get comfortable like he has. Everywhere he has gone, he has succeeded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomper Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 What do you expect? Them to take 2/3 from Boston? They have a very young team getting experience. They are nowhere near the talent of the Bruins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston is better than Pittsburgh, Washington and the Islanders as far as I see it They're not the big bad Bs any more but the new guys have more skill so they compliment the top line offensively when they're rolling. Just now, gomper said: What do you expect? Them to take 2/3 from Boston? They have a very young team getting experience. They are nowhere near the talent of the Bruins. I agree. A good team beat a young team trying to learn what it takes to win. I hate the Bs with a passion but I'm meh right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's their 5th game against the Bruins and 4 of the 5 they had their 3rd best goalie playing and in all 5 their best forward & their best defensive defenseman were on the shelf. They battled tough in 4 & got rolled in 1. Let's see how Granato gets them to react to adversity. This is the 1st embarrassing result since the losing streak ended. Coach them up, Don. Don't need to see a win tomorrow, though that would be nice; but have to see them compete for 60. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll continue to take his little cheap shots until someone knocks his beak off. THIS has been said since Marchand came into the league by every single teams fanbase. And NO player has been successful at “shutting him up” or “kicking his ass” or “making him pay”. At least not to a lasting degree: I’m looking forward to the day he retires or can no longer play. I give props to the offense he produces and his motor. But I hate everything else about how he plays the game. For me and me only, he’s a massive scum bag.. And no, it’s not envy or jealousy. If you knew me, you wouldn’t think that. Edited April 23, 2021 by Zamboni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Sabres were somewhat competitive tonight. They were competitive for a while but pretty much the entire 3rd the B's were alternating between doing whatever they wanted and simply bailing on their goalie because they had no fear of the Sabres coming back. Embarrassing MIGHT be overkill for what happened, but in context of how essentially this same team battled them the 1st 4, this was embarrassing.

I'm not sure why it hasn't happened yet. As offensively gifted as he is, he's just as dirty, and he doesn't need to be. He needs to get ***** up beyond belief. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
