This team is dog water

Big players do not mean they play big..... Taylor Pyatt ring a bell?? He was a serious purseboy. Maybe i should have just said NON PHYSICAL players. They can be 7' but they all mostly play small and would rather stick check then take a man. Even KA figured it out. This team with the exception of a couple of "Glass Joes" plays like Taylor Pyatt.

I thought it was only a few weeks..... there has not been much talk about him.

I do agree with this. In 2 years we are going to be very good. But, unless there are some additions and subtractions, we are going to be very good with the same old problems. What we have in the pipeline are smallish non physical players that will "swing the stick check" instead of using a body. We need to find a happy medium who will actually stand up at our blueline and do more then try to stick check. We have a great future, but do not piss it away by keeping the same old problems.

They need to show they want it tonight. They need to play their ***** off against a very good team in front of the home crowd. Guess we will find out in an hour or two who is in and who is not. Happy not to watch the Hulu broadcast and be able to watch the Sabres, but no laying the egg tonight!!!! I wish i was back in Buffalo again, would love to be going to all these games! Last home games i went to was at the Aud!! LOL But i have seen them in LA, SJ, Van, Tor, MTL, Chi, StL, Phi, NJ, and Wsh. Funny thay i am close but have never been to the Island and MSG.

fine

Do we need to keep saying MUST win!! At least no Hulu game!!! Waiting to see line ups and if any of our walking/Non Walking wounded come back tonight, as lord we need someone back!!!! LOL

All this goal and no goal talk and no GDT for todays game? LOL I love that we have such passionate fans on this board!

Even though i do not think it is a goal (But who the hell am I!!!) it does not matter as the Sabres deserved to lose that game. The last 30 mins, they were 100% owned by the Isles. If Okposo had not scored a lucky goal, it would have been a lot worse i think.

I think i need to start bolding what i am commenting on. LOL I AM agreeing with you. Very steep, because the Sabres are seriously inconsistent. Throw the excuses up in the air for it, but they have been that way all year.

We do still have 2 more games with the Isles, and the Isles play Pitt as well. I am not saying we will, i do believe we are done with the current state of the team (Injuries) but it is possible. There just has not been that consistency to show that they will.

Like i said in another post...... we get physical players to play physical and they do not seem to last long before they are hurt. Definitely agree with the Dahlin comment. Thats why seriously upgrading the bottom pair of defense is definitely needed to take some pressure off of the top 2. Stillman could be that, but ohhhh thats right, he is hurt.

Not to get into that argument, but seriously. We have sucked for how many years? There maybe younger "newer" fans that may feel just that way. I have been a fan since day 1 so lived for the ups and downs and disappointments. Very possible younger fans really think that. Very sad

Ok, i forgot the "we are not allowed nice things in Buffalo" LOL I do agree. Funny, we get to the highest pinnacle of being able to actually make the playoffs, then they all forget to drink their milk and our better players drop like flies. It's not like Goaloffson gets hurt (Not that i want anyone hurt) but the key cogs

😭

Worried? Only if there are no tweaks to the current team during the offseason. As much as i Stormcloud, we have a great core that will get better under Granato. Do we have issues? Yep... but is looks like KA does see them and i am assuming will address them during the offseason.

This team has zero depth. If we lose 1 dman we are screwed. Losing a top line player, we are screwed. Nobody is able to step up from the lower lines to help out with what we are missing. I will give some props to Quinn and Cozens has been a beast. Imagine if we put real scoring wingers on his wing!!! If we do not add to the talent, especially defensive dmen, even what we have coming up will not help. Ok, again, i get it, very young team, they are most likely very tired and banged up, but so is everyone else. Playoff teams rise to the occasion, non playoff teams fall flat. We are not a playoff team.

The Sabres played like *****. Goal or no goal, whatever. They got what they deserved that game. The Sabres lose the next two, please bury the playoff chat as they are done like dinner. The grind is killing the kids and their legs are rubber right now. Let me say the norm.... The grind will make them better, at least we are playing meaningful games in March, yada yada yada..... Plain and simple another year no playoffs.

Time for bed... we know how this ends... night all

Another game another loss... playoffs are slip sliding away..... but at least we are playing meaningful games....

Unless the Sabres come out with an effort they are definitely not winning this one. They look exhausted and the Isles look like they have not played since Saturday..... ohhhh wait

I cannot believe we get our dmen from the "Glass Joe" shelf

With another dman call up (Pilut) i am wondering if someone else hurt or maybe a defensive benching? I would say someone is hurt. This is starting to feel like 2006.

Ouch...... this is not good. How many dmen are we going to go through???

Not thinking Stillman is going to be back. Maybe Muel, but Stillman has a concussion me thinks
