Thorny Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 4 minutes ago, thewookie1 said: I’m guessing no one wanted to take Olofsson for anything and it would be hard to justify to the players trading a friend who scored 28 last year for pucks. But he wasn’t going to be in the opening night roster if not for Quinn, correct? So they planned on moving him, so what you say doesn’t really fit imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 3 minutes ago, Thorny said: The Bengals made the SB after an 0-2 start and that represented 13% of their season. The Sabres can overcome 0-2 over 82 don’t worry, I got you Their defense forced about 100 tipped ball interceptions along the way to cover for their 23 year old QB managing about 3 touchdown drives in 45 playoff drives that year. Where is our ultra-vet-competence to match that gonna come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billznut Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 2 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: Granato has won at every level he's coached so that's his pedigree. Can we not do this? Criticism is fine but don't flat out fling poo at the walls hoping it will stick. Winning at the NHL level is the only level that will matter for Granato’s future I hate to tell you. I hope he does. Just hasn’t done it yet. And Okposo does not know winning. 1 minute ago, rickshaw said: Adams HAS to make moves if this team is playing like this by game 10.

Granato has won a lot in many different, obviously he needs to win at the nhl level. That's like saying hockey is played with sticks, yea.

The Sabres cannot fall 6-8 points off the playoff line a couple weeks in, that would be disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader1969 Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 I wouldn’t mind seeing Rosen in for Olofsson. Think Rosen is a much better playmaker Of course that would necessitate a roster move That line is just spinning their wheels with 71 in the line up. What a drop off from having Quinn in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 3 minutes ago, Randall Flagg said: We added that number 75 who keeps barfing all over the ice, received a devastating injury to our 2RW who was going to break out in a big way, and decided to replace him with Olofsson, a guy we were otherwise going to ship out for a 3rd round pick. We added a 90 year old Erik Johnson (who is stable but is impacting the game as much as an old bottom pair D-man can) and re-signed our most dubious forwards, and then handed out a long term contract to a guy who is still at the "grinding in the Viridian Forest for experience" stage of his career. That is a JOKE unless it works. It hasn't started working yet. I wouldn’t say no to a few additional metapods on D to your point, I’m not sure if we have the time to fart around looking for pikachu also thanks the viridian city song is now stuck in my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but I liked his quickness and hustle in preseason. I already know I'm not getting that from Olofsson. He has never shown a 200 ft. game.

Thorny Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) They played much better today and there are guys who almost inconceivably won’t get better so I’m sure we’ll start winning at a more reasonable clip soon.

Randall Flagg Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 I'm sorry for freaking out a bit, but it's not about this game, our offseason was baffling, and every single potential red flag it presented is at full mast in gale force winds just 2 games in, and not one shred of the "here's why it can work" is visible in any corner of the ice. And nobody is looking or playing like they have any idea what to do with the expectations, or with the huge monster that's stepped in their path that needs to be tackled before it knocks the whole journey astray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
