Short-Handed, with under a minute to go
Uphill, both ways.
-
On that note go Yotes!!
Really?
Wow, we truly have bottomed out.
-
Bogosian back. Sigh.
This could be good, actually. Let him play the first period, then say he aggravated his injury or wasn't ready for full game play and go with 5 D for the rest of the game.

Had Pegula put forth the effort to hire quality coaches, wine and dine free agents, and make a general conscious effort to be a proud franchise like he is with his football team this pathetic game would be a blip on the radar. Instead, we all will be rooting against our team. Sad day to say the least. Glad you are living and learning at the expense of all of us Sabres fans Terry. I pray to God this "plan" works out.
Apples and oranges. The state of the Bills was much, much different than the state of the Sabres. I was with you for a long time but at this point we are where we are and the Sabres are past the point of no return.

Dammit. Everyone else is going back to their old usernames but I made too many changes. I can't change again until May.
Maybe I'll wait and see if Neuvirth comes back in free agency before I decide on a new name.

24 hours from now we could be pretty much home free or filled with blinding rage
The Sabres could blow both games against Zona and still control their own destiny.

I don't think a collection of players will ever tank. The furthest down the tank would go is coaching, which is the advantage the Coyotes have over us on the home stretch. After watching the last handful of Yotes games, it's clear the strategy is not to grind out a 0-0 tie. Between forechecking heavily on the PK or attempting unorthodox and complex PP set plays, this awfully bad team is taking chances not even a highly skilled team would be successful with. I'm thinking they got the marching orders to try new things. I'm sure Tippett has envisioned some wild plays over the years and now is his time to try them. Especially if that means failing horribly.
That assumes they are trying them against a competent team. :flirt:

You see a lot of things here you never thought you'd see.

Allll the dad jokes.
Well I am in my 50s....

I'd still expect him to wind up back in Detroit but am hoping he doesn't.
I think both Detroit and Babcock would benefit from a parting of ways.
-
Well I'll hand you that, if we had stable ownership
Why do we care where TPegs keeps his horses?
-
iflscience is reading an article about the Sabre-tooth Buffalo that roamed the plains 30,000 years ago.
-
No, I'm sure that's it. Sabre Tooth is looking pretty svelte.
-
out loud?
Yes. Got a dirty look from my boss.
-
Not his line anymore.
Ryan said #Bills "talked w a lot of people before we even met w Richie." Admitted "bullying" was wrong word to use to describe team.
10:09 AM - 24 Mar 2015Right sentiment, wrong terminology.

That disclaimer at the bottom though :D
I laughed.
-
14 balls? really? that's a really odd number.
Actually it's even, but who's counting?

There are few things I hate more then the blue collar, hard working rhetoric. First, Buffalo is hardly a blue collar town anymore. Second, as someone already said, its a euphemism for over achievers. Third, most people don't understand how much effort is on display when they are watching a sporting event. As I said in another thread, Cody Hodgson is said to be one of the hardest working Sabre's ever, yet few on this board would ever call him a blue collar, hard working type of hockey player
I never thought about it, but the line I bolded is very true. If the Sabres are Building a Bully (yes I know it's Rex Ryan's line about the Bills but it's s similar concept with GMTM favors size with skill), they should simply be achieving, not over achieving.
Has for the CoHo line, that was alluded to in another thread, but is that about what he does in practice and off the ice, or during games? Since it was attributed to Simonek I assumed it wasn't referring specifically to his game play, which IMO is nowhere close to being among the hardest work.
-
I was going to say maybe it's just an artifact of the rounding process, but it's also possible that they looked at the numbers and decided that the team in 10th is normally only a handful of points out of a play-off spot and at that point those teams have a chance but it should be really small.
Yes, both.
-
It's not a complicated game. Guys just need to work hard.
Just take it one game at a time.
-
Wonder if GM's around the league will start looking at this and not believing our goalies are that good when trading for them in the future
Only if the Sabres continue to play a high-shot-count defense. If, once the tank is complete, they have a neutral Corsi number and have about the same SOG as opponents, then the last two years will be viewed as an aberration.
-
I really like the compete level of a blue-collar team.
-
No way a guy like Babcock, a winner, decides to leave Detroit for Toronto. If he leaves Detroit, it will be because someone pays him, and because he thinks he an win their for a long time. It's been mentioned he's voiced concerns about Detroit's age and health of its best players.
If Sabres complete the shart I see Babcock behind the Buffalo bench next season. If not, I see them bringing in another top-tier coaching talent. But if GMTM can't execute a big upgrade at coach I can see him letting Nolan finish out his contract and see what's available the following off-season.
