Kruppstahl Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 We have Risto and McCabe (out hurt, of course) then a bunch of garbage on the back-end. And, I hate to say it but Risto is overrated by the Buffalo fan base. Remember when we were awash in young defensive prospects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I hate to say it but Risto is overrated by the Buffalo fan base. I disagree. He is asked to do so much, if we had more depth he wouldn't have to be doing so much and could focus on stuff more.

jamiezzz Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 What the hell is wrong with this team? Coaching sucks a$$, Defense, blah, no energy, too inconsistent. Coaching, and GMTM should start looking at want ads, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 All that's left is busting the shutout. Hoping for it, but not expecting it. Bogosian & Franson both awful all game. Still trying to figure out which was dropped to the "3rd" pairing. Tonight, they've now got 2 4th pairings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresBillsFan Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Risto and McCabe are the two best defenseman on this team. Kulikov has been a disaster and don't get me started on Bogo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruppstahl Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 After tonight, there is no doubt Bylsma should be a strong candidate for the Jack Adams award this year. Suggested no one in the world...until just now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresBillsFan Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Lehner needs to lose that helmet. believe me its not that helmet. Tonight is not his fault. I know goalies take some time to develop and that's all we can hope for. He's needs some solid goaltending coaching Edited February 1, 2017 by SabresBillsFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 This is correct His 5v5 stats are not that good. It will be interesting to see what happens once the defense improves. Risto isn't great in his own zone. And, that's not just this game. But, I agree with the above sentiment that some of the "lazy" plays come from being overused. Obviously Bogo and Franson had terrible games in this one. Franson was playing well pre-break. Bogo is Bogo... a guy who I want off my roster.

thewookie1 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Risto's young and growing, and being asked to effectively be this team's defense in every sense of the word with McCabe out now especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogo is Bogo... a guy who I want off my roster. I agree Bogo needs to go. He's a big guy with no foot speed and in today's NHL he's not going to survive. Just like a shot on Robin Lehner, hiring a Coach in Buffalo, or our new President... Nothing wrong with the president. Problem was all these years you had laws in place on illegals and refugees but not being properly enforced. And these cities that want to harbor criminal illegals and people are okay with it. How stupid can you be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
