Pity about those 2 weeks then, as getting Wright might be the only saving thing to happen this season (apart from Tuch, I like him, he's like the type of Sabre we used to have before Terry bought this thing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright would be a good get but as long as we are in the top 5 I think we will get a really good player. By 2026 we might get to .500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 12 minutes ago, Randall Flagg said: Adams was perfectly happy to go into this season with Tokarski, Anderson, and UPL as his goalie platoon. The Sabres goalies have given exactly what we should have expected this year, and it can be argued that they've on balance been much better than you'd expect. Kevyn has completely butchered goaltending in both of his seasons as GM For Botterill it was 2C, for Adams it appears to be goalie. The key for Adams will be to not let it snowball as far as Botts did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of them kicks the door down and earns a spot then all the better, but he had better not assume any of them are NHL players 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresVet Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 47 minutes ago, Gatorman0519 said: This is why no one is coming to the games this year. What a joke. 45% of the arena is sold on average each home game. Attribute the decline to the virus, border, whatever, that's still a bad look and part of the reason why there should be changes after this season. They are 2-10-3 in their last 15 home games. Question to ask is, are the Sabres improving? And, if not, how much of is on goaltending and how much is coaching, scheme, talent, injuries, etc? Certainly a nuanced answer. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One observation though in this game thread that's not getting enough attention is that @PASabreFan had the goal call ahead of @Brawndo for all the goals. That's got to be some sort of an accomplishment. Well done. I have to cheat to do it. I can't overcome physics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabresouth Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I am fed up with management. Is Anderson reinjured. I haven't heard that if he is. Granato said it is Anderson's net when healthy. So why is tokarski playing. He let in two soft goals and then we wonder why we can't win games. We have ten goalies and the obvious best goalie we have isn't even playing. So frustrating.🙄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like what I see from Tuch, Thompson, Cozens, Dahlin, Krebs, and Skinner. The rest probably will not be here (outside of the Rochester kids). That being said, this team is years away from being remotely entertaining/competitive. Buffalo fans get this. That is why the arena will remain empty. The minute this team starts winning and is fun, the barn will fill back up. It is hard to tell if Granato is effective at this point. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumph_communes Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Adam’s is doing the right thing by not overpaying to get a passable goalie on the short term after multiple injuries compromised his stop gap. He has multiple good options for long time and people just need patience. Teams who splurge on a goalie coming from nothing always regret it and don’t win cups.

IMHO Consistently letting in soft goals is death to a team. Eventually they will give up. You are not going to win many games if you have to score 4-5 goals every game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Holy overreactions Batman! Tokarski crapped the bed in the 3rd and OT. That is why they lost last night. That doesn’t mean they are years and years away from being decent and the organization is a joke and Pegula eats babies. This year is a tear down, Eichel, Reinhart, Risto out the door. They aren’t making the playoffs, save your blood pressure and just exhale. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some good young players for sure, but it remains to be seen if there's enough glue to actually be a good team. 1 hour ago, nucci said: not asking to splurge on a goalie...just one that can stop shots occasionally Why not though?

Another ***** bag GM that has no clue what the most important position in hockey is. 8th time this year the Sabres have blown a two goal lead. What a *****in joke this franchise is. Yet trades for Devon Levi, arguably as a good a goalie prospect there is 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
