K-9 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I got nothin’. Was really looking forward to the Miller celebration on Thursday, but they don’t deserve another minute of my support. Friends and family can have my STs for the rest of the season. I’m spent. And for the first time in decades season ticket renewal is questionable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 5 minutes ago, GoPre said: Good post. The Sabres are not out of it yet. They’re bound to get hot again. When they were winning it wasn’t a fluke. When this team is clicking they can beat anyone. I still have high hopes for this season. I like the optimism in this post. These guys are so good - and then they're not. Terribly frustrating. It's difficult to tell whether DG needs to alter his approach in coaching or if he needs to change his approach in who he selects to play. Mittelstadt needs to sit. Anderson can no longer play at the NHL level. The offense needs to be more defensively responsible. They need to make better decisions on passing. The offensive talent is there. Sigh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Kinda glad we're not going to make the playoffs this year. As soon as it got to 3-1, the whistles went in the pockets, and we can't play playoff hockey. There was hooking, holding, slashing that they just weren't going to call and they couldn't generate anything. after that. Still too young.

We literally cannot keep any team from scoring at least 4 goals on us. Granato obviously must be terrible at teaching team defense concepts. It’s not just the defense, it’s the forwards being too lazy in their own end. The total team defense is pathetic. Way too many chances for opposing teams! I’m thinking Granato isn’t the right coach to lead this team where they need to get to, which is playoffs and Stanley Cup. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of complaining to the ref, Dahlin should have understood that he was behind him and mostly couldn't see the slash and then hook. He needs to learn to subtly grab the stick and fall to draw the penalty. Youth,… they're so stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then get rid of fan favorite Reeves plus many other horrendous trades people have had enough. Getting rid of Gallant and then hire DeBoer and then get rid of him when we didn’t make the playoffs. It’s almost comical. Plus just because this team was in first in the pacific division doesn’t mean *****. This team is getting up there in age and the injury bug has now hit them two years in a row. My friend who is a NYR fan calls it the curse of Fleury on how they ***** him over. I absolutely love hockey but I have my limits for how much to pay. You could ditch your season seats and get tickets the day of the game from other season ticket members who are dumping their seat last minute for way less then you keeping season seats!

Totally understandable. And they flat out did Fleury wrong. Not only a great goalie who led them to a cup final in their first year of existence, but also the face of the franchise and a pillar in the community, especially after the hotel massacre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not without significant help on the back end and more consistent effort from all 4 lines. Also they need to rethink the PP. To much perimeter passing and they are moving the puck way to slowly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Growing pains? or, a work in progress? Whatever we call this, it's sailing head on in to another season ending in disappointment. Acceptable? Depends on the goals of the organization I guess.

Same tropes after a loss and then crickets after a win. I think that's my frustration with SS these days, the conversation is boring and stale regurgitating of the same 3 things after a loss: coaches are dumb, players aren't big enough, we don't hit enough. We don't have enough skill on defense and our forwards are young. It's pretty simple. 6 hours ago, KC Scouts said: We are a team of figure skaters and 98lb weaklings (my two favorite knocks on this squad) Notice we don't have any of the "young skill players are all we need" jackasses chiming in tonight.

mjd1001 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) I don't get 'mad' at the Sabres when they play like they have lately, I just stop watching until I see things get better. The issue right now is they are very close (kinda there already) where I'm done watching the team for a while. Sure, i'll follow to see how the are doing, engage in this forum, watch the highlights....but for the time being, i'm done seeing what time the game starts and making sure I watch it. Go on a streak of winning 4 out of 5.....or win 6 out of 9 and I'll be back. But right now, its just not fun anymore.

The only difference for me is that I have decided this definitely is my last year as a season-ticket holder unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
