Game discussion thread GDT:10-18-2014 Boston Bruins at Buffalo Sabres 7PM, MSG, WGR

[WildCard]

Yay, our goalies all suck too.

Every goal he's let in have been from the point with traffic. Not much he can do about that

[Claude Balls]

Ouch......wow......oof......ugly......wtfDo we get physical now??? Sorry, that was a bad joke, this team doesn't even know how to do that right.

At least cheap shot someone so my tickets to the Bruins game next week won't be a waste.

[Tondas]

Sadly, this might be as good as we can play. I thought rock bottom was last year.

As others have said, it really isn't the lack of shots that is the problem for the Sabres offense, it is the lack of any of those shots being QUALITY chances. We can't really tell if anyone on this team is talented enough to score until they get some quality chances.

How about better positioning. ...

[Iron Crotch]

I don't like these lines. Why would you put our two smallest forwards (Ennis and Gionta) together with a non-physical guy in Moulson?

 

Personally, I'm dying to see a Foligno-Girgs-Stewart line.

 

Of course, Nolan's new Moulson-Ennis-Gionta smallish non-physical line has been a disaster. Each of these guys is a -3 tonight. WTF, Teddy?

[Stoner]

Dunleavy's goal calls are atrocious.

Teddy is out of his depth with no clue on how to manage a bad roster. Then again, there's not much you can do with a bad roster except re-arrange bad parts from time to time. I honestly don't think he'll finish the year here.

 

GO SABRES!!!

one thing I do know is Nolan will finish this year. No coach would come here and 2nd, management is all on the same page. The year was predetermined on every level.

[Tondas]

I have become comfortably numb.

Despicable. But hey, that's what people want, right? To be bad enough to get ###### embarrassed by our biggest rival and the most detestable, thuggish ###### in the entire sport?

If this team doesn't improve they just might be worse than last year when they were the worst team in almost 15 years.

[Brawndo]

Just in case anyone else forgot what it sounds like

What most people want (I think) is to lose most games 4-3 or 5-4 while showing SOME improvement. Neither has happened....

[Marvelo]

Why is Hodgson on the point on the PP? He doesn't score and he cannot hold the puck in at the point.

 

Also why is Mary Tyler Myers on the point on the pp? He can't hit the broad side of a barn.

I liked when he called Enroth's goal in the first period.

[Mustache of God]

Dunleavy's goal calls are atrocious.

 

This year feels worse than last year because we don't have RJ calling the shots which makes the boring, bad hockey that much worse.

Me too.

Hard to position yourself when you can't see where it's coming from

[Tondas]

I've got to believe that GMTM thought that when he got the job, he knew that the roster was devoid of talent. I think he's coming to the realization that the roster is much worse that he thought. He couldn't believe they'd be worse this year than last. I think he's shocked more than embarrassed.

[inkman]

Who would you like to see?

[Iron Crotch]

I just switched over to the Preds - Blackhawks game so I could see what tape-to-tape passing looks like. The Sabres play like they don't have a clue where their teammates are supposed to be.

[SwampD]

God Bless Buffalo, where the player profiles are on guys that only play less than half of their games in the NHL.

 

Good Christ, I don't know how much more I can take.

Yeah well that's not what happens when you do everything in your power to create a losing roster with a losing culture. You just lose. And you stay losing.
