With him and Novikov in the org, they finally have some players with size that use it. But they can’t be expected to lead the way in that regard. They need players like Tkachuk & Trouba. Physical players that lead and other teams are leery of. The team also needs players that can drop the gloves. I’m not talking about Reeves or any one dimensional goons. Power forwards that stick up for teammates. Dmen that pounce on you if you look at the goalie sideways. Almost every good team has players like this. Buffalo does not. 2 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an opposing player farts near their goaltender, all five guys move right in and clear the area. Every single time!!!!! Sabres just skate away in their skirts.

Pimlach Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 2 hours ago, mjd1001 said: Which means they are a lot better once you hit the first intermission, meaning the coaches are great at making adjustments. It can be argued either way. To me wins and losses, goals scored vs allowed across the entire game matter, when goals are scored vs allowed mean virtually nothing compared to the totals across the entire game. They lost a lot of games in the first period. They fall behind and then they press. The other team can play a simpler game if they lead by 2 goals after 1 period. You are a good stat guy. Look it up. How many winning teams consistently lose the first period? Maybe they got better after the first admission because they woke up. I doubt the coaches did anything, what was the adjustment? Stop passing to the guys in Red? Take more shots? They didn’t score after the first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 The last couple of games have proved that there are a couple of players who should not be in the opening night line-up 1) Jeff Skinner - the stink of 1000 games and no playoffs is much too strong to ignore 2) Henri Jokiharju- minus 2 within the first 5 mins. Both times with soft D. (Yes I know that Quinn made terrible passes on both). Then the penalty that led to the 3rd goal The bottom 6 needs a lot of work. - only guys on the roster right now that should be considered are Greenway, Krebs (though that's not 100%), Girgensons (4th line winger). Meaning you could see 4 or 5 new faces to fill out the bottom 2 lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Joker that iced the puck needlessly prior to the face off where he took the penalty. Time to move on from him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidc3000 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 2 hours ago, Pimlach said: Agree. It’s not an excuse if there is data behind it. Young teams lose. If Adams fields another roster that averages 24-25 next year then they will consistently lose to rosters that average 28 or more. I am more sick of the “good veterans won’t come here” narrative. Great excuse for Adams. The Bills overcame that. Step one for Adams, which he still has not done, is to own it and get everyone that works for him to own it. They need to change the coach. The good veterans won’t come here narrative is true. This organization has been a complete and utter ***** show for 13 years. No player in their right minds will come to Buffalo if they have a choice or waaaay over paid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
