After we dump it in we have to actually hit them and take the puck away. and we didn't do this time either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at Philly, the entire D-unit (especially Risto), how they play, and figure if the Sabres played them in a 7 game series, Buffalo should sweep that team. Then in January, Philly beat a pretty healthy (at the time) Buffalo 4-0, putting almost 40 shots on Anderson I think. I blocked out most of that game form my memory, but what I do recall is Jost was probably the best player on the ice for the team. It's probably a good thing we don't make the playoffs. Style we play is NOT playoff hockey and no matter who we played we'd go out in 4, 5 games at the most. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy to who can clear guys out of our own crease. 2. Vanek 2.0. Somebody who can make their living standing strong in their crease and bang in the garbage. 3. Somebody who can stand them up at the blue line. (Obviously a goaltender. Maybe 2) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 1 hour ago, jad1 said: So sick of this excuse. They are young by choice. There is no reason a rebuild requires 3 entire seasons being thrown away. This is the 4th GM in a row that this franchise has hired who is way too comfortable burning seasons for some future that never materializes. Sabres fans have Stockholm syndrome from the franchise's historic run of ineptitude, but it's important to remember that the NHL is not a developmental league. Fans of a franchise should be able to look forward to more than just prospect porn. POTY. Sabres were 5-3 in the eight games before the deadline. 2-5-1 since. The case is growing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Unlike last year, when the team progressed as the season went along, this team is worse now than they were 20 games ago. Yes there have been injuries and the goaltending has stunk, but the coaching staff has not successfully adjusted to the injuries or the defensive structure to help the goaltenders.

He thinks there is more to his game and I have a feeling DG is pushing him to be less aggressive so he can focus on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they are "tough" relative to the rest of the team is simply a reflection of how soft the team as a whole is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did this in another thread, and while it's possible, I find the idea of telling him to be less aggressive is just a ludicrous concept. Being aggressive does not stop you from being an offensive threat. You can be both. That's what a power forward is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
