Radar Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 That's a tough loss to take. I don't think they could have played much better. So many opportunities to cash rebounds in the crease and just couldn't get the bounce. Sucks. This. Quote
Pokey Jones Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Jack Eichel was not on the ice for the final minute and 20 seconds. Tennyson was. What. The. ######. Is. This. Mentally. Challenged. Coach. Doing. lol - and you call me negative!!!!!! His line was out the minute before that. Quote

Claude Balls Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Oh man, did anybody else catch Eichel pulling a Bo Jackson there? I did, but I never heard Bo yell F*CK like Jack did. Quote
Brawndo Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 I’m starting to wonder WTF Housley is doing Quote
Claude Balls Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Team is snake bit Especially when it comes to hiring coaches Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) lol - and you call me negative!!!!!! His line was out the minute before that. Pokey, for the love of god, I don't hate your posts because you're negative. I hate them because you act like you're the first person to ever bring the generic (not in an insulting way) stuff that you say to this board. Newsflash. Everyone else has made Reinhart trade proposals before you got here. (Mine was Reinhart, Risto, and Nylander for Slavin and Aho). Everyone else has called this team dogshit and sold their season tickets five games into a season before you got here. All kinds of people have said this team is not talented and is years away and made huge mistakes with Murray. They did this against the general board perception. Not one of these people would constantly talk about how right they are and how everyone should have just listened to them the way you did. Your takes were not original and they did not make blind optimists angry, and that is not the source of any backlash you have faced here. Your ###### stinks just like the rest of ours does. I don't care if Jack played a shift before. ROR got the final 2 minutes. Jack got none of the final 1.5. Happy birthday bud. Edited October 28, 2017 by Randall Flagg Quote
Thorner Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Jack Eichel was not on the ice for the final minute and 20 seconds. Tennyson was. What. The. ######. Is. This. Mentally. Challenged. Coach. Doing. He had a super long shift just before that. Housley was probably thinking there would be a whistle so he could call a timeout, but there was a long time at the end there (unusual) where the play just continued. That's a tough loss to take. I don't think they could have played much better. So many opportunities to cash rebounds in the crease and just couldn't get the bounce. Sucks. Playing a very tired, crappy team on the road, they have to find a way to win that game, and cash more chances. No two ways about it. Just not good enough. Quote
Stoner Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Is there a smug smiling emoji? If there is,I'm that one. A Smolinskimoji? The Sabres have never been a good day game team. They beat the Soviet Wings 12-6 during the day. And I'm 99% sure Matt Barnaby scoring a hat trick in the playoffs on Mother's Day was an afternoon game. I'd like to see a stat on this. Especially when it comes to hiring coaches Harsh, but I've almost seen enough to draw a conclusion. In over his head a little. But if the owner gets six years (and more) to figure things out, how much time does an NHL assistant get? What about his AHL assistant assistant coach who runs the D? Or the first-time GM? Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Lehner's no slouch with the back-breaking goals to break ties at the end of games either. Seems like it's 50/50 in a late tie game whether we either lose in regulation or make it to OT. Quote
thewookie1 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Only good that came of this is we know Eichel wants to win, he certainly made that stick pay the ultimate price. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Snakebit is another term for just not good enough Quote

He got caught in the RVH on that goal, which is something I'm surprised doesn't happen to him more often. Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 'Well that was a piece of crap' ........ 14:37 in ... I used to think this was funny, but now I'm not so sure. Quote

Seems like it's 50/50 in a late tie game whether we either lose in regulation or make it to OT. Not even going to blame Lehner there, looked like a perfect snipe. The shots were nearly even, and San Jose had the skill to finish a little more than the Sabres. They got what they deserved. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 We really checked all the boxes in this one, didn't we? -Eichel goal obliterated by review -GA with less than 15 seconds left in a period -Allow GWG with less than 5 to go in the 3rd -Sharks 3rd win in Buffalo in their existenceHappy Saturday sports fans! With love from Terry P. and your Buffalo Sabres. Tune in next time! Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 I forgot we had a game today, I turned it out with 5 to go at 2-2 And lehner sucks, I mean sure it was a great shot, and he never should have been able to walk in like that.... It was an amazing shot. But, our God Dammm goalies need to step up when it counts, that is unacceptable. I see a team that isn't good enough, players that can't cash in when needed and our elite player getting benched (intentionally or not) and getting frustrated. Your welcome sharks, our team has gotten so bad that you get a win here, we are getting into tank territory Quote
Pokey Jones Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Well for the first time this year I was actually entertained by a hockey game. I know they lost, but wingers missed some perfect passes from Eichel in this game, a few bad bounces, a post and a whiff, didn't get the luck. But the effort was there and this is the first time we've seen the tempo start to finish that Housley wants. If they keep playing like this every night they will win games. Antipin still continues to show great potential and Pouliot is finally starting to look good which also shows promise. He plays better in a faster paced game. The negatives, Okposo still crap, the 4th line is not good. Griffith rapidly playing his way off this team. Bailey really really really needs to work on the accuracy of his shot. Third game now where he's shot over the net on a perfect set up. Lehner as usual one spectacular play and one kind of iffy goal. Kind of what you expect. overall, I'll say it again, if they played all the games like this one their record would be better. Stay the course and keep Moulson as far away as possible. Quote
rickshaw Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Since team D isn’t strong enough, it’s time to shop around for a true starter in goal. The tandem they have would be ok on a solid defensive team but my this team. Short side to win it. Not acceptable Quote

LGR4GM Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Jack Eichel snapped his stick in the hallway after the game. Good. Someone needs to recognize this isn't good enough. Quote

They got what they deserved. on his knees before the shot. if standing it doesn't go over his shoulder Quote
