Losers

Sam shut your trap. You highsticked him.

I didn’t convince myself that ROR was a cancer. Heard it bandied aboot here off n on. Of course the return JBot got was fair value for a locker room cancer, not a Conn Smythe and Stanley can winner.

Why did Skinner not give that puck to Jack ?

Well. Not sure why I expected any different.

In the new NHL players 30 or over are a fools game. Lord no to Ladd.

One first line and three fourth lines. This team is bound to win some games. Go Sabres !

These bottom 6 guys are what they are. None of them except Okposo have ever been expected to produce offence and Okposo only ever did it while with the Islanders. Frankly getting any offence out of any of these guys is a bonus when it does happen. E-Rod=fringe, Vessey=Meh, Okposo=DLD(done like dinner),Larson=defence, Girgs=defence . Until JBots upgrades the 2nd line the 3rd will continue to suck and so on. So its a waiting game. Sucks to be us.

2 games in 2 weeks is crap. I miss hockey.

Yeah me too. Where are ya Deluca ?

They’re soft. They can’t score because no one wants to pay the price. No one goes where ya gots to go. Ya gots to get dirty. Crash the friggin net. Quit with the perimeter shite. And quit with the fashion statements. Get rid of the damn fancy scarves and the wingtips. Bring yer friggin workboots. Roll up yer sleeves and get back to work. ok I’ll stop. But damn that felt good.

I seem to remember Ralph saying something to the effect that we’re not going to confuse these guys with too much structure we’re going to let their genius ( that was his word ) and hockey instinct take over. Imo when you are playing a team that has structure and has been playing those structured systems for a number of years pitting a team of players who’s only structure has been losing and saying we’re going to let these mostly young guys fly by the wire and figure it out as they go, I’m not sure that will work. With real experienced players maybe. I think this may be a weakness of Ralphs plan.

Yeah I picked that photo off facebook and it was a meme/joke going round. They are actual broadcasters and they are good. I’ve seen them interviewed and they are diehard hockey guys. Good for them.

This would at least be inclusive . These guys actually do Canucks broadcasts out of Vancouver.

The new coaches corner

Don failed to acknowledge that we are basically a country of immigrants which may have placated the snowflakes. Poor choice of words on his part because as you said in the small sample size that I witnessed today there were people of all stripes either wearing or not wearing the poppy. Its their choice and none of our business. Don finally succumbed to his opinions. I suppose he shouldn’t have done it on someone else’s dime.

Don has always been a champion of and supporter of veterans and of those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. Good on ya Don. What you said may have offended some but it wasn’t wrong.

People have thin skins. Many are upset and they’re not sure why . The media loves to divide. And there’s nothing wrong with asking people to respect the people who payed the ultimate sacrifice so we could have the freedom to have an opinion among other things. This morning I went to Tim Hortons. Half the people not wearing poppies were white. I suppose they could have been immigrants ? I’m sure some were born and raised here. Who cares ? I won’t even get into the people that were any of about 20 different shades of non white for fear of offending anyone. Regardless many were wearing poppies and some weren’t. Its really none of my business.Thats the beauty of freedom.

Exactly

I’m not most people. I want more talent sure but i want talent that can win battles. I’m tired of watching our guys get moved off pucks . Its maddening when theres a cheap shot and our only response is to complain to the official. Look at the teams that are in every conversation come playoff time. They have one thing in common. They go to war for each other. Like someone else said like a pack of dogs.

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.
