darksabre Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 This is so depressing. That wasn't an awful period sans Vanek. We're just screwed now, because who can we count on to pot one?
SwampD Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I'm sure he does. I'm also positive he doesn't coach this kind of hockey, either. I'm also sure he never played that way, either. I think he's beyond reaming them a new one in the locker room between periods. And I'm also sure he should do himself a favor and take a year off to recharge and then take his pick of whatever available jobs are there when he returns. I hope he gets a group that isn't afraid to play the puck possession game that he desires. Of course he'll need guys who actually DESIRE THE FU*KING PUCK to make that work. You know, like the guys we had just a few short years ago BEFORE Lindy all of a suddend forgot how to coach. GO SABRES!!! You obvuoisly haven't been watching the past 5 years. We've seen this same Lindy coached team that entire time. What exactly is the coaches job then if it isn't to get his players to play?
thesportsbuff Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 Well, there's that and being a liability in your own zone which he was for a few games there. GO SABRES!!! Wake up bro, every forward on the Sabres roster is a liability in their own zone. That's what happens when 90% of every game is played in your own zone. Kassian was one of the few guys who could sustain pressure and keep the puck in the opponent's zone... seriously you can give me every excuse imaginable for why Kassian was sent down, but I don't care if he was 18 years old with a wooden leg, he is FAR more effective than playing Ellis and McCormick every night. He has higher offensive upside than Gaustad and Kaleta. The best excuse is "well he didn't score for the last 10 games." Well, that's because after two games without a goal he was relegated to playing with McCormick and Ellis. What do you expect him to do there? What has Luke Adam done in the last 20 games? Lindy Ruff is a ###### DOLT and doesn't know what he's doing.
Derrico Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Well, there's that and being a liability in your own zone which he was for a few games there. But I think DeLuca made the point about cap constraints above. GO SABRES!!! Yep. DR took the gamble in signing him to this deal and now he's the one who has to deal with it because nobodies going to take that contract. If he and Stafford don't turn things around, we're going to have $8+ tied up in those two for the next three seasons.....
... Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 These guys simply can not put the puck in the net. They're too soft to win the battles in front of the net and whatever skill they have is neutralized by the physical skill of the opposing team.
Derrico Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 This is some of the most uninspired play I have seen. Aside from the Pittsburgh game, I can honestly say that I havent seen the Sabres play like this in a LONG time I'll agree with you. It doesn't even look like they're trying (and they're not very good when they do try). This is such a big game in the standings since the leafs are one of the teams you can actually catch to make the playoffs and it looks like they're out for a family skate. I just don't understand.
itbeatswalking Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Cause Pegula brought in the sorry saps that lead this team??? They were already around before he got in control... No, bc he kept LR and DR.
darksabre Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Did anyone catch that hottie in the yellow shirt before they cut to commercial?
waldo Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Maybe Vanek got sick of this shite and traded himself. If DR isn't gonna do it Vanek took it upon himself to get out of here :bag: He got tired of Lindy blaming him for everthing and fell asleep. he will be back when he wakes up.
deluca67 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Did anyone catch that hottie in the yellow shirt before they cut to commercial? That was Roy.
dEnnis the Menace Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I'll agree with you. It doesn't even look like they're trying (and they're not very good when they do try). This is such a big game in the standings since the leafs are one of the teams you can actually catch to make the playoffs and it looks like they're out for a family skate. I just don't understand. Exactly. It's so frustrating as a fan to watch this, and then hear your favorite team's GM say that changes are NOT imminent...Because that makes sense... :death:
K-9 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Well, I agree that we need different players but we can't ship'em all out... You're right. I think Lindy needs different players more than our players need a different coach, which is the equivalent of pulling your goalie to wake up a team. I just don't think for a moment that even if this team wakes up they are all of a sudden going to contend. Lindy should leave for his own well being, he won't have any problem getting a new start. I'd be willing to wager he'll be in far greater demand as a coach than our players are as players. GO SABRES!!!

Iron Crotch Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Exactly. It's so frustrating as a fan to watch this, and then hear your favorite team's GM say that changes are NOT imminent...Because that makes sense... :death: The most imminent change should be Darcy's firing. It really is a clearly dominant strategy for Pegula.

Lindy Ruff is a ###### DOLT and doesn't know what he's doing. I edited my post to reflect the point that DeLuca made about cap constraints. I'm sure that's the overiding reason for Kassian going back down. And I'm quite awake, thanks. GO SABRES!!!
The_Swannie_House Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Has anyone seen what the Blues have done since they fired their coach? No.....have you seen the Ducks since they fired their coach?
Lumpy Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Maybe Vanek got sick of this shite and traded himself. If DR isn't gonna do it Vanek took it upon himself to get out of here :bag: That is a Chuck Norris type move...
dEnnis the Menace Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 The most imminent change should be Darcy's firing. It really is a clearly dominant strategy for Pegula. I agree, I think that Darcy needs to go, as does Roy, and Stafford.
deluca67 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 All kidding aside, the Leafs have left the Sabres in this game by not adding to their lead in the second.
K-9 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 No, bc he kept LR and DR. Did you buy your Phaneuf jersey yet? How about your Kessel fathead? GO SABRES!!!
darksabre Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 All kidding aside, the Leafs have left the Sabres in this game by not adding to their lead in the second. You're right and I hate it.
