It was very entertaining but once again they ran into a hot goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How quickly you forget about his great pass for our first goal If you did watch the game you’d know that When the Tage line plays like they did tonight we have no chance UPL was really good, except unfortunately for his overcommitment on the breakaway, but we need our own Hellebuyk. Switch goalies tonight, Sabres win 6-1 Jost and Ollefson we’re by far are best players - great for them/not good for the rest of the players you think we’d learn from Winnipeg’s first two goals and actually have someone in front of their goalie once in while. We need more dirty goals    Haven't seen a dirty goal by this team since Dave Andreychuk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't see many more back ups and will need to grind our way through to the other side which I do have confidence they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 I figured it out: the only constant over the years has been Paul Hamilton doing post-game interviews. His passive-aggressive infantilization of the players traumatizes them over time. Paul Hamilton must be kept far, far away from this hockey team from now and forever. 2 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've still got it stuck in my craw that DG said it was the plan"all along" to sit 77 and 22. I am truly afraid to know how far back that plan goes. I mean...

Sitting them would only work if they replaced them with a player(s) that would be legitimately competing to take their place, not those two losers. (29 & 74) Watching form the stands as a learning experience is only valuable if the team plays well......not that effort we saw tonight Edited January 13, 2023 by KC Scouts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Line Center Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 7 points the last 8 games for Tage …. but 4 of them in one game.   Scored against Boston and Washington.   We go as he goes.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallawaySabres Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 I somehow went from looking at the 8th spot standing a week ago to now looking at being 5 points fro being 2nd worst in entire conference. How the tide has turned, ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the plan goes back any farther than their anemic effort against Philly on Monday, which was the culmination of their struggles of late. DG gave them every opportunity to play thru their slump, didn’t see it happen, and decided to sit them after looking at the film Tuesday morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 This will be fun. After every loss we'll use the same bs 2013 narrative of the Sabres aren't big or mean enough and after every win we'll just pretend we don't think that until the next loss. 2nd verse same as the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Â Watched the third. Â The Sabres more than held their own physically. Â The Vezina trophy in net was the difference that period.

I think they often aren’t willing to (coached not to?) pay a physical price to make the play. And none of your fancy EA sports style hockey is going to convince me otherwise.

Taro T Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 The 2 things that had been rolling for the Sabres most all season continued their mini-slump & the team lost. All this team needed to at least get to OT & very likely a regulation win was either the Thompson line not getting bottled up or the PP connecting. Even without their bread and butter working, they were tied w/ 10 minutes left. Teams w/out Vezina candidates won't be as successful at shutting the 1st line & the PP down. Stinks that they lost 3 in a row, but they could definitely have won tonight & probably could've beat Seattle too w/ a break or 2. Just have to find 6 extra points over 0.600 the rest of the way. Start it by winning in Smashvile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
