That’s been a pattern for most of the season 

I know.  It was more rhetorical than anything.  IMO the number 1 issue with our powerplay is how deliberately it is executed.

Your absolutely right, too much standing around by the players without the puck

I want to see Beaulieu tonight.

 

Wait, did I say that???? 

Beaulieu is a goner.  He did a big no no.  

[Scottysabres]

I liked Bogo's play that period. Still seeing to many poke check attempts as opposed to taking the body. I'm looking to E-Rod for the first goal, his speed should be able to get by their slower D at some point.

Watched the Sharks last night.

Their PP typically makes three passes in the time it takes Eichel to survey his options.

Did he put his feet up on the seat in front of him in the press box again?

If I've told him once, I've told him 25 games, he can't do that with Phil occasionally waking up with his head pointed upward during games...…………….

[Brawndo]

Puck Luck for Hutton 

[Stoner]

@sabrespr The Buffalo Sabres have recalled Dave Hannan.

[Broken Ankles]

Brilliant save.

[Stoner]

You've gotta be kidding me.

[Radar]

We can't buy goals.

Showing passion and wanting to play?

Just when I was thinking next goal wins it

[Pimlach]

Terrible play on that goal and the entire minute before it (which was eichels line).  Everything looked bad. Even the line change.

I'm going to say something that is going to sound outlandish, but it actually looks like we're tanking again. It just looks like it.

[Stoner]

Always back to the point.

Not fielding your best team for some perceived future benefit. Close enough.

[Pimlach]

I don’t see how sitting Pommer and putting Reinhart back on the first line makes us better?

 

lines 2 and 3 not doing much.

Must be really confusing to be a Buffalo Sabre these days.  If you state you have lost your passion to play, then you get traded....maybe to a team that will make the playoffs (ROR).  If you state you want to play (Beaulieu), you get scratched. 

So what's the secret?  Say nothing, play with no passion, pass vs. shoot the puck, stand around during the PP, get knocked around and don't stick up for your teammates.....Congrats!  You have what it takes to be a Buffalo Sabre!!!

[Stoner]

What a dive.

[Pimlach]

Ref let a lot go and then calls that?
