Stoner Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 I'm serious. There have been a lot of complaints about it I thought I read somewhere that the PA fought for it, and agreed to the 3 on 3 tournament at the All Star game in exchange. Quote
Eleven Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 I thought I read somewhere that the PA fought for it, and agreed to the 3 on 3 tournament at the All Star game in exchange. I think you're both right. I think the PA fought for it and now the players don't love it. Quote
Mustache of God Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 I think you're both right. I think the PA fought for it and now the players don't love it. I believe I read that the complaints last year was the breaks were too spread out and it gave teams an unfair advantage coming off the bye, not being in the zone. This year they condensed all the breaks into a 3 week span to even that out a bit. As a player, I'd love a 5 day break in the middle of winter to go hang out in the sun and rest up a bit...but I'm not an NHL player, just a beer-leaguer. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 I saw a news blurb about how the Sabres are looking for their first 2-game win streak since October. :death: Quote
Doohicksie Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 I think you're both right. I think the PA fought for it and now the players don't love it. I think they're both right in that some players probably like the way it ended up and some complain about it. Quote
Derrico Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 Wow, I was looking up the last two game winning streak thinking you had to be wrong. Nope, it was in October. Quote
MattPie Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 Wow, I was looking up the last two game winning streak thinking you had to be wrong. Nope, it was in October. Seems like they had a good stretch in there, but it must have been a point streak (win, otl, win, otl, otl, etc.) Quote
That Aud Smell Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 Seems like they had a good stretch in there, but it must have been a point streak (win, otl, win, otl, otl, etc.) I think that's right. Maybe a 4 or 5 game stretch where they took points. Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 I saw a news blurb about how the Sabres are looking for their first 2-game win streak since October. :death: It's more likely they lay a turd tonight, falling behind early. Still on vacation in the head. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 I never thought I would lose interest in hockey, this team has done it to me. I don't watch them, I don't watch other teams, I don't check standings...nothing. I'll probably watch the East playoffs if there are teams I dislike enough but wow, not even the Bills turned me off of football during the darkest of times. Quote
Kruppstahl Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 I'm serious. There have been a lot of complaints about it I would like to propose eliminating the forced break and replacing it with non-guaranteed player contracts again. It's the only thing that is going to save this league, at least in the regular season. Product has never been worse. Quote

Eleven Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 Someone might want to correct the title. The game is not on MSG. Quote

What a contrast of the happiness and excitement that day to now when fans express feelings of total lack of interest and dismay. It's something I would not have predicted. Quote

Stoner Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 When I read this I looked back to the day Pegula had his press conference after purchasing the franchise. What a contrast of the happiness and excitement that day to now when fans express feelings of total lack of interest and dismay. It's something I would not have predicted. So true. He had me at Perreault. I was all in. But even that same day, I started seeing bad signs. Heck, even during that presser, his line about "Lindy ain't goin' nowhere" bugged me. He stepped on Regier there, big time. When he said he didn't know the Sabres were for sale in 2002 and blamed the News for the team's mental state, I figured there was something off about the guy. My opinion has not wavered. It was a roller coaster day. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 regardless of all the crap... I'd rather have a game to talk about... so at least there's that. Easy to say before you start watching it :p Quote
Sabel79 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 Roenick and Mike Rupp in the studio... woof. Quote
pi2000 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 I have a bad feeling about this game, like something bad is going to happen. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 I have a bad feeling about this game, like something bad is going to happen. Has there been a Sabres game you haven't felt this way about since, I dunno, early November? Quote
Scottysabres Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 I think the Sabres win this one. Quote
