Kruppstahl Posted February 1, 2017 Report 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

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 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
Taro T Posted February 1, 2017 Report 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
SabresBillsFan Posted February 1, 2017 Report 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
Brawndo Posted February 1, 2017 Report 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. This is correct His 5v5 stats are not that good. It will be interesting to see what happens once the defense improves. Quote
Kruppstahl Posted February 1, 2017 Report 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
pi2000 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 Risto looks mentally fatigued. Late on everything. Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 We still need a #1 defenseman Quote
SwampD Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 Lehner needs to lose that helmet. Quote
Nitro60 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 The Sabres, current edition, does not do well with time off. They are sluggish and out of sync. Quote
Kruppstahl Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 [speaking of the Sabres]: "They've had a tough night just managing the puck." -SNE color guy :lol: Quote
Nitro60 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 Bogo -5 Franson -3....boys, that is a bad night. Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted February 1, 2017 Report 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
Iron Crotch Posted February 1, 2017 Report 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. Quote
thewookie1 Posted February 1, 2017 Report 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
LGR4GM Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 Just like a shot on Robin Lehner, hiring a Coach in Buffalo, or our new President... Quote

I know goalies take some time to develop and that's all we can hope for.If we can't talk about Trump on this board, he shouldn't be allowed to have a picture of Trump on his helmet. It's the helmet.

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
Taro T Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 The Sabres, current edition, does not do well with time off. They are sluggish and out of sync. That's on the coach. Separately, good to see Kulikov pot 1 even if it was completely meaningless. Quote
