dudacek Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 I'd like to see at least one of Kane's cornucopia of penalties involve knuckles to the jaw.
LTS Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Could have fooled me watching this team. Well, watch Montreal.
Randall Flagg Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 With this one simple trick Phil can turn 1.5 effective lines into 3 effective lines! You won't believe it!Girgensons (when back) - Eichel - Reinhart Bailey - ROR - Okposo Kane - Larsson - Pominville Scraps Wow!!!
North Buffalo Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 jeez bad bounces think they played decent though..
LTS Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Welp, I'm gonna go watch Hunt for Red October and enjoy life. Careful, some things don't react well to bullets.
bob_sauve28 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 jeez bad bounces think they played decent though.. If Nolan and ROR knocked in their chances and Lehner made a few saves we would be ahead
Scottysabres Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Well, watch Montreal. I did, 1 game, they won.....can you guess against whom?
ubkev Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Careful, some things don't react well to bullets. Yeah, like me! I don't react well to bullets!
bunomatic Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Could Eichel have been any more disinterested in playing Defence on that first Bruins goal. Once at the Red line and then once or twice at the net with Pastaboy and really made no effort to separate him from the puck. 2nd goal was just another Mr. Bean moment among many in our zone this season by our D.
LTS Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 I did, 1 game, they won.....can you guess against whom? How many more points have they earned? Yep. With that world class goalie too. The Sabres just aren't the worst. Second worst maybe. But right now Montreal is worse.
Thorner Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Does anyone think that Kane is with Eichel to try and increase his trade value? Montreal is the worst team in the league. We are assuredly the worst. It's not close. I have honestly never seen a team look his bad, ever. They look like a beer league team, legitimately. We are honest to god terrible.
ParkMeadow Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 Long time between posts for me. Watching on NESN and enduring the insufferable Jack Edwards makes this whole experience all the more painful. I had to see for myself just what all the wailing and knashing of teeth was all about, and you knowledgeable SS denizens as usual are spot on. Based on the first period tonight, I see nothing to be hopeful about. Team is weak on the puck, no discernible system or positioning in either end, and no energy or physicality. This s the NHL for crying out loud, and stick checking doesn't work as your main form of defense! I will not watch the rest of this one, as there is good college football to entertain me.
Randall Flagg Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) We are assuredly the worst. It's not close. I have honestly never seen a team look his bad, ever. They look like a beer league team, legitimately. We are honest to god terrible. I don't mean this as an argument that this isn't bad, but the tank team just 3 years ago lost 14 straight games in regulation and once went a five game stretch where the shots on goal averaged out to 37 for the opponent and 15 for us per game So you certainly have seen this fairly recently :P Edited October 22, 2017 by Randall Flagg

Maybe because it's relative. This team is underachieving much more. But I'll take your word for it. It may be perception, but that's the reality right now. The tank teams were worse, these guys are much more disappointing. They certainly look more defeated than the tank crew did. Edited October 22, 2017 by Thorny
StuckinFL Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 Just came in from walking the dog, checked the score and then read this thread. Not gonna even bother ruining my night by watching this team. You guys are masochists...

It's definitely your brain blocking things out. That was as horrific a thing as can happen in sports.
ubkev Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 You guys are masochists... Hey, that turns some people on. I'm not gonna judge.
GASabresIUFAN Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 I enjoyed the first period. I took a nap. This team is really dreadful. I think I’ve decided to relax about the team and let the thing play out. I’m trying to reset my expectations and look for positives. So far Jake McCabe has been improving as the year has gone on. He is much more physical. I like Bailey’s effort. If he keeps bringing energy, I see no reason to send him down.
Thorner Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 It's definitely your brain blocking things out. That was as horrific a thing as can happen in sports. But like I said I don't think it's just that. These guys are more mentally defeated and disappointing.
Stoner Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 Bjork, the sound this season is making.
LTS Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 McCabe led the team in TOI in the first. I think the trade for D is coming soon.
Randall Flagg Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 But like I said I don't think it's just that. These guys are more mentally defeated and disappointing.More disappointing, not more mentally defeated. Maybe close to, but imagine these guys knowing they are by far the least talented group coming out of a 14 game regulation loss streak. We broke all of them.
