K-9

And yet the fans in New Jersey were calling for his head mere months ago.

When we were 7-3, if I was told I had to endure a seven game losing streak, I know I’d much prefer to be 7-3-7 instead of 7-10-0.

Nope, he stepped right on that snake.

Snake bit.

Scored a shorty on a breakaway earlier in the season.

C’mon, he’s no Ethan Prow.

That’s on Joki and Lubushkin, take your pick.

I just assume beer is redundant in Buffalo. A given if you will.

I agree entirely. But I don’t think Tuch does.

Just not his game. Doubt it ever will be.

Pretty sure that was Power. Lemme check with Dunleavy.

Another lost O zone face off on the power play costs us 10 seconds of a 5 on 3 PP advantage. Conversely, we lose face offs in the D zone on the PK routinely as well.

Cozens looks like that most night. Love his heart, but he is completely devoid of any offensive skill at this level to this point.

And the band played on.

It’s classic Victorian.

We got em right where we want em.

Wheels falling off. Be nice if we had a guy who could win a key D zone face off on the PK.

I’ll always root for them to win every game and I like the track they’re on, but I won’t believe they’re a couple years away until they show me they’re a couple years away…and that’s a couple years away.

In a nutshell, a bunch of Buffalo Junior Sabres went to Long Island for an event of some sort, watched the Sabres play the Isles, and they were super excited to meet Eichel after the game. Rivet arranged to bring them to an area in the arena to meet Eichel after the game but when he came out he looked, rolled his eyes, and went back in, leaving the kids and their parents stunned by the slight.

I agree with everything here, especially the point about perspective. Don’t get me wrong, I like DG as a coach and I like the potential of several current players. As I said above, I just want him to change his messaging. We’ve lost enough, high effort, never say die games so we know his players will compete, regardless. I think the focus has to shift to results.

I don’t want DG fired at all. I think he’s a good coach. I just want him to change his messaging.

While I’ve heard several things about Eichel from various people in various places over the years, I can honestly say I’ve not heard one disparaging word about Reinhart. I think JBotts screwed the pooch with Sam which made Sam reluctant to want to stay.

Yep, and it’s been true each and every one of the 1,000 other times he trotted out the same tired platitudes. I’m convinced that this team and everyone involved in every aspect of it has confused effort for results. They should be pissed instead of encouraged.

My god, what a sad commentary that is about this team.
