Billznut Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Just now, pi2000 said: Let's pump the brakes on all the gloom and doom. A young team had an off night, and combined with brutal goaltending you get games like this. With an average NHL goalie it's still prolly a 6-4 game, but the optics of the 10 spot are certainly not going to resonate well with the fanbase. That said, do better. When the games started to matter most, the past 10 days, the Sabres have responded by losing 5 of their last 6. The moment was too big for this team, which isn’t totally unexpected honestly. It isn’t just tonight for doom and gloom, it’s the last 10 days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder why other teams aren't tired? So are we Kyle. So are we. The Bills were tired to. But they had a teammate die on the field 3 weeks before their season ended. They could probably use that explanation. I’d rather hear our captain say “yea I think unfortunately we may have accepted the math and the odds and believe we’re done.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does what you would complain things like save percentage don't do. It does about as well as quantifying can do in describing goaltending. Where did the shot come from, what type was it, was it screened? what is the league average save percentage in that spot on the ice in those conditions? Aggregate that number for the shots a goalie faced in a game, there's what you get. It tells you the same thing the eye test does - elite goalies are elite, good goalies are good, and our goalies are horrendous. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see him react like Torts or something after this one. He is simply too protective of his players, his coaches, etc. Ever notice he doesn't talk much about X's and O's, but rather "feelings"? Maybe he doesn't know as much as we hope?1 33 minutes ago, PASabreFan said: Great point. I kinda feel sorry for him. He's in way over. No. He's not. The kids are just shot.
