North Buffalo Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Fla tied, Det up and Sabres loose... meh tank meeter going up Edited March 11, 2017 by North Buffalo Quote
ct fab Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 Yep for all we know the winning streak at the end of last year might have costs us Laine or Matthews. Let's finish as low as possible. With our remaining schedule, this shouldn't be a problem Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 Wash, rinse, repeat. Glad I didn't waste my time. Quote
SwampD Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 So, 2026? Please. Peeper. The who now? Compared to Brad May, Peters is Daniel Webster. Quote
Stoner Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 To quote Peters, "Uhm, ehr, uhh..." The Sabres really put this guy on the TV broadcast? Quote
Mustache of God Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 Compared to Brad May, Peters is Daniel Webster. Meh. I didn't watch the game so I can't comment on Peters but my only input here is that every time I hear Brad May speak on TV I can only think of all of the aspiring broadcasters out there and the job that he is taking away from someone who is actually competent in that field. I get it, you're a Sabre alumnus and you have a cup under your belt, great. You probably don't actually need this job to survive. Brad May is incapable of stringing together a handful of sentences, much less a continuing analysis of a hockey game. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 If it means the termination of Goober, this game was a win. Quote
Scottysabres Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 Caught the 2nd and 3rd. Sloppy game by both teams. That last BJ goal, Fransy just said "look Ma, no hands, as Columbus went deep past the tonsils. Sad to watch an entire team choke on it toll the season ends....... Quote
Ogre Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 The Sabres really put this guy on the TV broadcast? He was right there in the TV..... Quote
Winston Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) This one hurt. Not because I was expecting a win, because I was fully expecting a loss. But when your fourth line center scores, then literally the worst offensive d-man in the league scores, then you get another goal from your D... you have to win that game. The secondary scoring was there, and then some! Our big guys just didn't show up. Eich created plenty of chances. Even CBJ fans around me got on the edge of their seats each time he had the puck. Kane seemed like a non-factor though. And didn't notice too much from ROR tonight. Didn't help that we didn't have many PP opportunities. It wasn't for lack of interference......

Sabel79 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 In isolation, and considering the opposition, this was far from the worst loss/effort of the year. Still, meh. Quote
Claude Balls Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 Meh.....haven't watched a game in over a week. So tonight as I'm watching Gold Rush, I decide to switch over to check the score. It was at the exact moment where Franson looked like he had never held a hockey stick before, which instantly led to Columbus taking the lead for good. I just laughed and flipped right back to the commercials waiting for GR to come back on. The team has some decent talent, but also has a bunch of guys who should be in beer leagues (coach included).

pi2000 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 My expert analysis on CBJ's goals. 1st goal: Clean face-off loss by O'Reilly. Kane takes a poor angle to the d-man and fails to fill the shot lane in the process (this is a recurring theme with this team all year). Lehner not out on top of his crease and down on his knees leaves the top of the net open. 2nd goal: PP redirect by Nick Foligno. Nicely executed by the Jackets. Would've liked to see McCabe take away that pass lane... he had his stick on the wrong side of his body. Nothing Lehner could do. 3rd goal: PP slapshot by Gagner from the left dot. This one I blame on coaching. CBJ enters the zone and Rodrigues is on the right side, Girgensons on the left. The puck moves from righ to left... to Gagner, but instead of Girgensons sliding over to challenge the shot, he drops down into the high slot leaving Rodrigues to chase from the other side of the zone. That's just a poor PK scheme.... and Gorges gets lost in no-mans land between Lehner and Gagner, leaving a CBJ player all by himself to screen Lehner. Gorges drops down to a knee in a weak attempt to block the shot but man alive, that's some terrible PK design. This late in the season to look that bad on the PK is unacceptable, don't they watch video? It's not rocket science. 4th goal: Fransonitis. Quote
Jsixspd Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 I think it's bad PK strategy to have Gorges as the 4th guy out there. Period. Bylsma seems oblivious to reality.I found that Gorges goal equivalent to games in years past when Drew Stafford scored. You knew we weren't gonna win when it happened. And yeah, we SHOULD have won - surprising goals from Gorges and Rodriguez against a top tier goalie, and a goal by Risto - and NOTHING from Kane, Eichel or O'Reilly? No goals, no points? That was Buffalo's game for the winning - and there wasn't a response from the team leaders. Quote

Seems like he gets beat high a lot and the guy is 6'4" Quote
Randall Flagg Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 Why is Lehner down on his knees so much ? Seems like he gets beat high a lot and the guy is 6'4"He never makes an effort to flinch or lunge at those shots, he always just assumes they're going to hit him. Quote
North Buffalo Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 Two goals top right corner... gotta be book on him. Quote
woods-racer Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 Two goals top right corner... gotta be book on him. Marty B talked about that on GR I believe the other day. Think he to a look back to when the Sabres came back from break at goals scored on Lehner. Had the same opinion. He's more concerned that coaches haven't *fixed it*. Quote
