  1. I don’t know Chewy - thought Tuch was lousy, so was Thompson. They are a problem right now. If they don’t go hard and make something happen who will?
  2. We could be 2-3 years away if we change or stay the course. But staying with this coaching staff can’t happen. It just can’t go another season. You could see from the first 3 minutes this team was not going to work hard tonight. Terrible effort.
  3. The pitchforks are dollars not spent at the rink I guess.
  4. Hear that? We are only off our game a “smidge”. That’s nice.
  5. I wonder if they had a nice field trip to San Juan Capistrano this morning? Hockey is not on their minds, maybe they had a nice lunch?
  6. That twice they hit our goalie in the last few minutes.
  7. Ugh. Clifton falls down with the puck. Really.
  8. Another first ever goal against us. The pk was good until the 3rd line change. Don’t understand the strategy DG.
  9. So far this game is boring and we aren’t showing anything. PP Ducks.
  10. Good evening Teammates, Punch checking in. Still grieving my Bills. Go Sabres!!! MUSCLE WEIGHT
  11. So broaden your thinking going forward and choose words carefully in social media forum. Do you want to be the source of this? Just because that outcome happened in one case, does not mean it is true in all. Especially when you are hinting at cheating or other unacceptable behaviors.
  12. Levi gave up 3 in 17 shots? Hmmm. Hadn’t played since Jan 9th. Great development plan.
  13. I think they like Dane as a solid backup. If Elam can break out it would help.
  14. Yes! Me and my four brothers hung them on the walls in our basement. It was a circa 1970’s finished basement rec room. we made up versions of floor hockey, floor football, floor basketball. We had trains and race cars, table hockey, table basketball, vibration football, wiffle ball, ping pong, darts, rock’em sock’em robots, battling tops, hot wheels, games of all kinds. My mother’s favorite room in the house to get rid of 5 boys but still know where they were.
  15. Good post. I think just as DG coached Tage to be a center, and dominate at times, there are more aspects of his game that need work. There is more evolution to be had. Some of it could be his mentality and I’m not sure DG can do more than he has with him. Tage needs to play with more purpose, and dictate his game to his opponents. He needs to get fierce.
  16. Diggs is an odd ball. Not sure what to think of him. I guess contract wise they need to keep him another year but we should draft a WR#1 and groom him next year. CB and WR and Saftey are the biggest needs. We can finally be ok with the OL and DL going into the draft. Kicker and Punter both need upgrades.
  17. There were a lot of factors today. Allen was excellent in the first half, a halftime lead of 4 was a good position to be in. We get the ball first, and the wind in the 4th. We scored our only TD of the second half on that first drive by running it down their throats on, often using 6 OL. Then the scoring ended. So KC figured it out, and the running got predictable, and or WRs failed to make plays, and our defense could not force a punt until late in the game. They got a huge turnover break on the fumble thru the end zone. Our defense was great during the winning streak but it was a battle of attrition and playing deep down the LB depth chart, and with backup CB, it was too much against an opponent this good. The DL, which is healthy, did not pressure Mahomes or stop the run. McD did a great job with the defense and with rallying the team from 6-6 to 12-7. Still, it ends in a home field loss and more questions on the coach and his staff. I counted 3 dropped passes. I think we missed Davis. Not sure about Diggs and his persona. The WR room could change significantly next season. I don’t understand the last series of the game, the play calls included 2 long passes to the end zone. I think Allen had to throw on those downs but why go deep, why not higher percentage quick hitters and get yards and run clock? We needed to kill more clock anyway. Special teams blew most of their plays. The fake punt was a bad call and lacked execution and creativity. The punter struggled but still averaged 39.5 on his 2 kicks with a pulled hammy The kicker Bass has been a problem all season, and he melted down in the playoffs. McD will be under scrutiny in the media but I think he is safe. Considering where they were mid season they finished strong, and won a division Next year will likely have major changes and some favorites and long time players gone. The terrible taste of finally getting KC at home, and still lose, is bitter. At least we have Allen some promising young players.
  18. Bridge contract. Do not overpay and lock him up.
  19. Chalk it up to a beaten and down trodden fan base grasping for answers. When this team gets good, and I think they someday will, more fans will be back and the community will change again and again. My opinion, the SabreSpace regulars are hockey diehard fans as much as Sabres fans, that why we stick it out. When they get good, more old fans and hopefully a bunch of new fans will be here, and different opinions will be everywhere.
  20. There are a lot of posters here that I learn things from, to many to name them all right now, but @Brawndo, @dudacek, and @LGR4GM have not been named yet and they provide a lot of useful information. Shout out to them. Probably due to my advanced age, but I can relate to @PerreaultForeverand @JohnC, even though they sometimes are at different ends of the discussion. @PASabreFan brings great humor, and some thought provoking comments. I used to say a Contrarian viewpoint but he doesn’t like that. Certainly a unique viewpoint and communication style. I agree a lot with @Thorny (as long as I don’t pick on Eichel too much) and @Taro T. I don’t care for posting lies, “what ifs” that can be damaging to people, and historical rewrites - I will address these. I try to bring some humor, some history, some knowledge of the game. I don’t think it’s a secret that I can’t get behind Pegula because I don’t think we are lucky just to have a team. In 12 years that is what he has produced. I enjoyed the Buffalo Bisons circa 1966-69 way more than I have any of the Pegula years, maybe it is youth versus age but those guys were fun. I think the Sabres are the most abused market in any sport in North America. If I piss anyone off I am probably not trying to.
