SABRES 0311

Yeah and Ville Leino couldn’t go a whole season without scoring a goal.

According to my eyes they pass way too much which feels weird to say. I also think too many years of bad habits may be too hard to break.

It’s always darkest before the dawn. I think a legit President of Hockey Ops and a no BS coach is what this team needs. The bandaid has to get ripped off. No more sweet talk about the positives after a loss. I am starting to think the sweet talk is a way for management to use the media to save their jobs. Focus on those supposed positives and the boss looks like a jerk if he fires you. I dunno.

What is RK’s system? Real question because I don’t get what’s happening on ice. These guys overpass in so many different situations. Is the system designed to do that?

How do you start and end the third with a man advantage, down by two, and not get one shot? That’s actually impressive they didn’t even get one on accident.

Some of these guys are mentally checked out. Coach can’t get them going. It’s not just a player or coach problem. It’s both.

ZERO SHOTS ON GOAL SO FAR IN THE THIRD. If a change is going to happen it needs to happen soon with this condensed season.

When was the last time they had a shot on net?

Eichel just gave it away in the corner.

Way to kill 30 seconds off your own PP.

Monotone McGuire. No emotion. He’s like the Captain Marvel of hockey.

Nice. Is that a fitted T-shirt?

Even COVID can’t get Skinner into the top six.

I dunno the camera doesn’t show. Kill joys think it discourages the act.

Fan runs on the field.😂

Halftime Show music had an 80s/90s feel to it. Easy to follow. Not bad. Only dislike was the part where the camera and performer kept spinning around.

Murica!!!

Dbag Devils. An Eichel wrister at their bench next game. If I remember correctly this isn’t the only shading thing they’ve been involved in recently.

Or is Calgary asking too much for him?

Because you’re not spreading the scoring among the lines. Get with the program or RK is going to put you on the taxi squad.

Mitts will score off someone else’s effort. Sam comes back and RK puts him in the third line. Spread the scoring while going with Mitts’ hit hand.

I’m not opposed to sitting Staal when Sam returns. Hall Eichel Olofsson Skinner Cozens Reinhart

Risto tries hard in post game press conferences.😂

I have a theory about Staal. He didn’t want to come to Buffalo. He reflected on his career and all he’s achieved professionally and financially. He’s riding this chapter of his career out and doesn’t actually care. It’s his twilight contract. He’s checked out and is an empty uniform.

Your expectations are high because we got two big names. We thought Eichel and Hall would be some hockey unicorn. We thought Dahlin would have a breakout season. Those we expected to lead us into the playoffs are somewhat of a liability.
