It's kind of fascinating in a twisted way to watch the difference between the Sabres and a real NHL team.

Sabres try hard much of the time but there is no talent and certainly no system in place to generate any puck movement or flow, unlike the Red Wings.

The PK is painful to watch, with all of the Sabres constantly collapsing in a tight box inside the circles, leaving the Wings to move the puck at will.

There are never any second chances (and darn few first chances) in the offensive zone.

But most significantly, they are just weak on the puck.

 

They need their goalie to stand on his head, and Enroth sure hasn't been doing that since their mini streak last month.

That's the second time this week Mess has taken a full swing slash! He's not even hiding it!

Mess is like Favre and Shamrock. Doesn't know when to hang it up. Hopefully his multiple scratches on a last place team convinces him.

I get lambasted for making an anti-tank post in a pro-tank thread yet people routinely go off-topic and bring tanking into these threads. It needs to stop. Enough of the double standards. There doesn't need to be tank talk before, during AND after a game in a GDT thread.

 

 

 

The Sabres seem to have done well in national TV games this year.

 

Sorry for being late to this. Absolutely agree w/ this sentiment. The GD thread should be pretty much tank-free.

agreed. Collapsing allows the point to make passes which forces the box to open anyway. Might as well pressure the point to make a mistake.

Why is our PK so bad?

We've got guys who used to be effective there.

 

I'm pretty sure they took over sole possession of last place in PK after tonight to go along with PP, GA and GF.
