Was that a bad break?

5 on 3.   Yes bad break.  The PK is weak the past 10 games

Another wasted odd man rush.  

To say the least.

Hank's remembered as a laughingstock, but he's credited with being the co-inventor of the 3-4 defense (or at least the inventor of a variation of it). Sounds like he was in over his head as a head coach. He just died at the end of 2019 at age 85.

Great info!  Thanks, PA!

The original is apparently credited to Bud Wilkinson after WW II.  Hank was one of the first to make it work in the pros.  We Bills fans, unfortunately, can remember the No Name defence throttling teams for many seasons.  Joe Collier, another failed Bills head coach, also did a lot with early 3-4 defences about the same time.

Rick rarely editorializes, but he's starting to slip some digs in. I can't blame him. This hockey has to be a personal affront to him.

Least penalized team takes 4 tonight.  If you struggle to score, you must stay out of the box.

I’ve never been more depressed about a team.  Will we lose 20 in a row? Quite possibly and that’s no exaggeration. 

I doubt that they win 6 more games

Oh, yeah, sucks for Hutton that it was 5-3 that’s not his fault.  I thought you meant something happened on the goal itself that was bad luck.

Agree.  They will go down as the worst team in Sabres History.  Worse than the tank teams.  Then you look at the players on the roster and wonder why?

Open nets baffle the Sabres

At least Lazar put it on net.  Small consolation.  

I just saw no shot on a Sabres breakaway.  Amazing

I’ve seen 10 year olds with more scoring acumen than the Sabres have. I’m NOT kidding. Very very few of these guys have ANY scoring touch at all. And IF they had it years ago, it’s long gone now.

The 81-82 Jets were winless for 30 games in a row.

Nights like tonight it's tough to imagine ever being good again 

I think we have been saying this for about 8 or 9 years now

It is a mix bag of talented guys.  No leaders among them and too many with bad habits.

Another lazy penalty in this game.  Not doing much to impress the new HC

They all know Granato is not here long term anyways. I highly doubt any of them are going to “skate through a wall” for him. Nothing will change until there is a REAL head coach in town. And even then...who knows?

I recall the odd move of canning the majority of the scouting department.  That has had an effect for years on the team and its drafting.

I did not mean Granato.  The new HC is out there watching like the rest of us.  

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
