Zamboni Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 When they score more than the other team. That’s when they’ll win the next game. 😇😬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawerchuk Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Well it certainly won't be the next game vs NYRangers. They are going to kick the crap outta the Sabres unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 If they don't win before then, the game next Tuesday against the Jets, in Winnipeg. I'll be there, and will do what is necessary. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Winnipeg maybe. We will win one game against NJ, possibly one against the Islanders. Maybe 2 wins this month. We are seeing the real sabres now. I am still holding to my forecast of somewhere around 20-25 wins this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDaddy Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 The scary thing is that for the first time in my life, I don't care. I'm numb to the losing, just like KA and TP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Sabres have 1 win in the last 10 games (coming against one of four teams who has a worse record than them). I'm optimistic they'll win vs WSH on Saturday b/c I have a free ticket to that game. Pessimistically they don't win until the Islanders on 12/27. Realistically they get a surprise win or two between now and the Isles. All depends on goaltending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm numb to the losing, just like KA and TP. I am too. First time I've been numb to it that I can remember in my life. It's sad, to be sure, but a bit relieving, if I am honest: I find myself as much a Sabres fan as ever, even after "letting go" of this season. Underneath the angst of how bad they are, I was relieved to see my heart still loves the team (not that I doubted, really). They aren't just a habit for me, I always want to be a fan. I'm sure if they are ever good again, we'll be able to put the emotion right back where it belongs.

Granato tried, but at some point the guys look around the dressing room and see that they don't have the horses to compete so the effort drops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 15 minutes ago, Ice Cold said: Last year the longest winless streak was 18 games. But, you know, last year, the Granato helmed Sabres went 9-16-3 overall. This year their record is also exactly that, 9-16-3. So he's 18-32-6 (42pts) after 56 games. That compares very unfavorably to the start of Kruegers' tenure, which was 24-24-8 (56pts) after 56. Housley was 16-30-10, good for 42 points, same exact points as Granato. Uncanny. Nolan, in his second stint, had 43 points 56 games. Rolston had more points (44) in fewer games (51) before getting the boot. It's not looking great for Granato. I don't see anything stopping the Sabres from ripping off a dozen losses here. So I think maybe you're saying it doesn't matter who the coach is? Or at least all the ones they hire. Bylsma was just under .500 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 To think, when the Pegulas bought this team we were 15th overall, and we've never gotten that high since, and usually not even close to that level. It takes a special kind of skill to be this incompetent for this long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabres getting the worst goaltending I’ve ever seen at the NHL level may have a little to do with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
