GDT: 3/6/21 Sabres @ Islanders 12:30 p.m. MSG

Is this still 'unacceptable' or are they getting killed 'grittier'?

[darksabre]

If Eichel is truly hurt they need to shut him down. It's not like he's contributing despite his injuries. He's completely ineffective.

If the refs continue to keep their whistles silent, we have no chance at a comeback, do we?

What is this “comeback” thing you speak of.....?

[Marvin]

Just musing: how much did having the LOG line help last year?

[Claude Balls]

Dunleavy - " Sabres get some fresh legs on the ice"

These guys haven't had fresh legs all season.

[Gatorman0519]

Keep it coming NY! 

[Carmel Corn]

Gotta pull Hutts....now!

[Norcal]

I mean, Hutton had zero chance there 

[Kristian]

Question : Can a GM pull the coach mid-game?

[Stoner]

My God, Staal is done. Did they know this?

You're forgetting that they didn't play above the puck

[DarthEbriate]

So... take a timeout, change the goalie, send a message before the end of the period? Anything?

[MODO Hockey]

Wow..

 

Just wow. WE ARE SO BAD. IM SO ASHAMED

 

[Cal Naughton Jr]

Does Ralph make it out of the weekend? 🤔

[Torpedo Forecheck]

Is Staal really providing veteran leadership? Holy *****, he glides all over and reaches. 

[PromoTheRobot]

Ray is right. The Sabres stare at the puck like it's a light bulb and they are moths. No wonder the Isles get so many open shots.

[Norcal]

Round the outside, round the outside

He was the top player in Minnesota last year.  Maybe he fell off the cliff due to age.

[DarthEbriate]

NYI with 12 second-period goals all season; today 4 goals (and time remaining)

Sabres = paid retirement.

I was just going to post something about them. I don't think they make much of a difference on the overall season, but no lines on this team are capable of doing what they could do, and I think that kind of game would have helped against teams like the Islanders. They could drain the energy of any line they played, and give the Sabres a bit of confidence and more optimal circumstances to start each shift with. 

And they made Okposo a lot more useful than he is with two PK specialist speedsters that don't do much of anything else 

[Claude Balls]

Wonder if Cozens hates this team yet.

Yeah, I said that I think the Fire Ralph thread.

The player has a lot of say in these decisions
