GAME DISCUSSION THREAD

I've said it before over the last 10 games or so, but Buffalo is struggling to score. Their goals per game average over the last 10 games is about 2.00, if not lower... Simply terrible!

 

Buffalo better take advantage of Green's over the glass....

 

 

no...

[Saudi Arabia Rob]

Boy, this has been brutal. They just stood around on the last PP and the Caps defender ran four guys around.

[Calvin]

this is depressing. brutally so.

[sabresnutinphoenix]

Game over

[ThePebble19]

Ridiculous. They look like they have played a game every day for the last 3 months. They are doing nothing but loafing around, making bad passes, with no care in the world.

[wjag]

That's a dart

 

Buffalo: Washington: :censored: :censored:

[SabreInFla]

My how the mighty have fallen. The tease of the great start has been exposed.

[Calvin]

Wow. What will it take to snap them out of this funk?

 

Even having their dads around makes no difference.

 

Grier's back, yet the poor hockey continues.

 

A trade maybe?

[26CornerBlitz]

Looks like SOS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SAME OLD SABRES!!!!

[Guest Sloth]

Ok, any hope we, at least I, had for this team is quickly going away. The Sabres are showing an inability to score. They once dominated teams in shots on goal this season, but now they are barely hanging on. It is very disappointing. Buffalo WILL struggle to make the playoffs. Every point counts...I just hope the puckin Sabres know that.

[R_Dudley]

This has been brutal to watch. This team just can't seem to handle the puck around the net. Conolly, Rivet look awful tonight amongst other's , PP looks awful. They never wrist shoot it from the point. Can't someone teach this team how to shoot a puck on net.

 

Serves me right for agreeing with PA in this game. :bag:

[JohnRobertEichel]

Do we have the worst top 6 forwards in the league?

[sabresnutinphoenix]

A trade? We are talking about Darcy, right?

[TheMadCap]

Well, on the bright side, at least they look like they're going to crumble in November instead of February. IF that's any consolation. Damn it this team pisses me off!

[rickshaw]

Seriously time to make a move. It's now or never. This isn't panic, this is reality.

 

on a side note. how brutal are the caps commentators? they don't think Ovechkin did anything wrong??

There's been talk, serious gossip now, that Vanek may be traded for Kovalchuck.

[Calvin]

Was that anywhere else apart from this board?

Shots 7-1 Sabres.

Score 1-0 Washington.

We're gonna get goosed tonight.

 

What I said on line 3.

[Calvin]

What I said on line 3.

Great call. No one saw that coming at all. Wow.

[sabresnutinphoenix]

Well, if we don't start winning some games soon..maybe it is time to pull the cord on Lindy...Remember the Pens last year!!! Also, I am not saying we the Pens but we are better than this!!!

Thats the kind of radical move needed to shake this teams top 6 up. Either that or coach is really all we got. Otherwise if this is what we can expect it's going to be a long maddening season. :wallbash:

[ThePebble19]

I'll tell you what, just when I think it can only get better from here, it gets worse.

 

Hopefully they can pull this together before Friday.

Or shoot at all, for that matter. Part of the problem with all 6 of our top forwards is they all want to pass the puck to someone else. I can't remember how many times tonight we just sent an errant pass in front of the crease with no man there instead of trying to get it to another player on the perimeter for a shot. Not one of those top 6 forwards crash the net with any regularity, which is unbelievable since that is where Vanek makes his money, in front of the net.

[PromoTheRobot]

I'm in Maryland for Thanksgiving and I got to see the game on TV. Wow...is it 2008 again? Talk about sleepwalking through a game! Miller has to be pissed with the effort in front of him. They can't even get one goal now, and without Miller this is 7-0 blowout.

 

I think Ruff is a great coach and I'm not suggesting he replace him...yet...but the Sabres look like a team in need of a serious kick in the rear from a butt-kickin' coach.
