Popular Post Big Guava Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) I am sick and tired of this team disrespecting the fans, especially the ones who pay a lot of money to go watch them in person or own season tickets, the jersey they wear, the city, and honestly themselves and their profession as hockey players. DG and KA talk about how they are a young team and they need to learn from situations like these. OK fine...how many times do you have to keep making the same freaking mistakes to learn from it? You've been playing hockey you're entire life. How hard is it to show up at the start of a game ready to play? That's something you learn in Pee-Wee. How can you constantly go down 2,3,4-0 by the end of the first period night after night? Do they realize it's OK to score first? Or tie the game and not go down huge after the other team scores first? How the hell can the team be so unprepared, so unready to play night after night, game after game and they just apparently don't even care because they continue to do it the next game. And then to talk about how the fans are so important and how they have such a connection with the city and want to earn them back in the building? Are you freaking kidding me? They DISRESPECT THEM EVERY NIGHT IN THEIR HOME RINK!!! How can we be so important if they think it's OK to go out and play like @ss in front of them every night? Make these people flush their hard earned money down the toilet night after night to watch this utter crap? Act like they are out for a leisurely skate while the other team piles up goals? They think these people want to watch this hot garbage game after game? Where is the F***ING PRIDE in representing us? In the jersey? In the city? In your goddamned selves? How does any of those players think this type of performance night after night is acceptable? Are they actively trying to get Granato canned? Because that's what they are playing like. I'm just so sick of it! I don't care if they are young and learning. It doesn't take ANY SKILL to go out and play hard. Show some effort. Stop getting your @sses handed to you on a nightly basis and being outworked and out hustled to every loose puck and every area of the ice. People loved Ted Nolan because while he might not have been the best X's and O's coach, we had the "hardest working team in hockey" and made a damn Cup Final with Hasek and really nobody. This team thinks they connect with us? Don't they know the ONE thing we want to see if them working hard like the people of this city do every day? Go out and put forth a blue collar effort? And they sh!t us on every night, game after game and can't even do that? That they think they can make up for 40 minutes of not trying with 20 of playing hard? Why is it they only feel the need to play like that after the coach eviscerates them in the locker room at the end of the 2nd? They couldn't play like that from the start of the game? I mean come on! There is NO WAY a team with this much talent on it should be playing like this. Honestly F this team right now. They don't represent anything this city stands for and they better get their heads out of their ***** because they are in real danger of having fans turn on them in a pretty bad way if it doesn't improve and improve fast. There is no excuse for what we have seen all too often this season. A disinterested team that simply doesn't care and doesn't respect the fans, the city, the jersey, the game or themselves. And there is a word for these type of people where I grew up and we called them punks. /RANT Edited December 6, 2023 by Big Guava 7 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 At least the enter key was your friend. Does this qualify as a manifesto? Think it's more like a frustration ventilation rant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 The goaltending and defense are pretty much the same as last year...UPL looks a bit better thus far. The huge regression is scoring. The goals came easily last season and it's pretty clear, several guys had career seasons in the same year. The GM, players, coaches and fans all kind of expected similar results on offense and that's where everyone whiffed badly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
