Weave Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 I gave up at the end of period 1. My eye didn’t see what the analytics saw. My eye saw a team that was forced into poor passes and one off chances with hurried shots.  There were transient chances, but little sustained dangerous play. And Way too many forced and unforced turnovers.  The goalie play was substandard.  But the play of the team was substandard overall.  I saw a Nashville team that was prepared to put sticks and bodies as close to a Sabre as possible, and a Sabres team that was unable to overcome the tight coverage. If periods 2 and 3 were similar to period 1, that was a team wide beating, not a goalie beating. 4 minutes ago, Taro T said:  Helllllllooooooooo Devin Levi. (Pretty sure that's the plan to get out of this funk. Hope it works.) Yeah, and that ain’t a plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it should be evidence banging Adams over the head that he needs a better option at #1 next year if he didn't already see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've needed this for a few years now We also needed scoring. Scoring is probably the hardest thing to get, and we've got it now, with more in the pipeline.

I know what he is. Big tender who overreacts to shots, has mediocre puck tracking, and bad rebound control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helllllllooooooooo Devin Levi. (Pretty sure that's the plan to get out of this funk. Hope it works.) A little hazy on the streak. No need to explain. It doesn't matter. I know that this is the first time HCDG has had an NHL team on the verge of the playoffs near the end of the season. There's nothing worse in his tenure to look back on to give any assurance he knows how to get out of the current situation. He may very well do so. I mean... Any day now, coach.
