There’s a big difference between gooning it up and playing tough and winning battles. But you know that.

At least in regards to the Sabres There are times within the game where effort disappears for mere moments and we get scored on. This team appears to be going hard but there are let downs and we are scored on. There are plays by our best players where they stop thinking momentarily and we get scored on( I’m looking at you Dahlin )so yes there are effort problems and there are brainfarts. And to be fair there are cases of the other team just being good at their jobs and we get scored on.

No. I think like all teams you always look to get better. It looks to me like theres always room for improvement with the likes of Erod, sheary, Vessey Sobotka etc on the team. Not to mention Okposo. 6 mil for a 4th liner.

No its not the same thing. But we have seen teams relatively change their teams over one or two offseasons. We did the full teardown so its different but everytime we change gms they come in and talk about a 5 year timeframe. We’re treading water here and winning never seems to get any closer. I don’t see the playoffs this year. Unless Jbots has one or two more miracle trades up his sleeve.

This global series kind of backfired on the sabres. 0 points out of a possible 4 so nothing worthwhile came of this aside for the feel good buzz leading up to it. Nice for our Swedish players I get that but the costs associated with the condensed schedule will be felt now and later in the year when these guys will hopefully be fighting for a playoff spot. It just doesn’t pay off in any tangible benefits for this team. It may even set us back. I voted no. Let our division rivals have it.

I’ve never liked losing. I accept that we’re not going to win every game, Cripes I’m a Sabres fan through and through. But with all the losing we’ve done I’ll never accept it . You see teams like Vegas do it in their first couple of seasons. Then you see our GMs come in and give themselves 3 or 5 years to figure it out. It rarely goes as planned. I’m concerned. You see how they respond to adversity and its not hard to see that to a certain extent the losing is accepted. Its not good enough. The young guys have to absolutely hate losing for this to turn around. I don’t see that. I think the culture surrounding this team still needs some changing.

Apparently the Rangers are after toffoli

I know that. He’s got a long ways to go to right this. If he lasts that long.

Touchy feely trip for the Swedes among us but a trip largely of futility otherwise. We are what we are. Exposed as a soft team that can be pushed around and disrespected. No fear on the part of the bolts in pissing anyone off. Whats the worse that can happen ?its the Sabres. JBOT I don’t envy you your job. I hope the Pegulas have your feet to the fire.

Another cheap shot on jack. At least Sam came to his defence. Cernak standing over Jack like Jacks his Bitch. This doesn’t happen if your team is capable of dishing it as well.

We’re making Mcellany look good.

I. Should hope Ralphs always serious Rob.

But when you have the players that are able to respond to the cheap stuff teams think twice about doing it.

Yes we are weak

This team is dreadful

Joki taking that draw? Thanks Ralph.

Its his 2nd game back. Timing off?

Oli its about frikken time

Its a good thing its pissing rain. I’m not sure I could ever forgive myself for wasting the day watching this shite.

I’m not sure our guys have gone to the net like that this entire game.

Its obvious who wants this game more. JBOT give us some players that hate to lose please.

The apple dumpling gang

Goes wide of the net. I swear Ralph needs shock collars on these guys. Just hit the frikken net.

Shot just wide is the bane of our existence.

Mmmm. I wonder if the carpet is the same as the drapes ?
