But I will say this....I WAS ENTERTAINED FOR 2 PERIODS....which has not been an easy thing to say this season. Bravo. There no point of even being angry anymore. Just whatch the games, or not. They might surprise us, but probably not. 2 Quote

Pimlach Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) I am still fuming. 18 games without a win. 18 freakin games. Every player that was here for the start of the Pegula era should be purged. Keep only Bryson, Borgen, and Cozens. Maybe Uhlmark. Get Rutherford. Let him hire a coach Trade half of these turds before the next season starts Dump the rest of them the next year. Keep only the youngest and least tainted. The team will be competitive in 3 years if we replace the players that don’t care - the ones that lose by routine and without a fight. Damm Vegas started with nothing and won their conference the first damm year. There is NOT ONE player that has proven to be a building block. All it takes is one to start with.

And if you think Rasmus Dahlin is "probably the worst defenseman in the league right now," well, I can discard your opinions for a long time. I’m heartbroken and devastated you don’t like my opinion 😂😂 he’s minus 33... that is pretty grim. Dead last. 😂😂 Edited March 30, 2021 by Gatorman0519 Quote

But it literally always seems to work lol if only there was a guy who could win draws and contribute offense and not get traded for "losing his love of the game" 3 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 All this OT Dahlin hate is misplaced imo. He was fighting for the puck but had no support from his team mates. The other two guys were just standing around waiting. This is the sabres for years now. No team work. Just stand around and let the other guy do something. They all suck. 3 Quote

I do agree with your sentiment but I suppose I've had a bit of a paradigm shift. I mean, Risto has been here for a while.

dudacek Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) I should be pissed off, but I'm not. That game featured the best two periods the team has played in months. There were times they actually looked threatening offensively. And the guys I actually care about watching over the next month or two — Cozens (until he got hurt), Mitts, Thompson, Jokiharju and Dahlin — played a ton, looked engaged and did stuff. Sure, they didn't get it done, but they did get a chance, and they looked like they wanted more. If the rest of the season looks like that (with some Bryson, R2, Borgen, Asplund and maybe even some RyJo, Quinn, UPL and Big Matthias mixed in) I'll keep watching.

Zamboni Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 I don’t fume over losses I don’t get pissed over losses I have more important things in my life to worry about, and get mad about or upset about or be overly passionate about. The Sabres in 2021 is not one of them. I was slightly aggravated, or frustrated for about five minutes after the game. then I just let it roll off my back like all the other losses this season. I find the emotion of pure anger over the Sabres this season is a waste of my energy. The most I can muster up is aggravated or frustrated ... briefly 😂 2 Quote
Claude Balls Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 That loss was one of the worst gut punches I have felt in awhile. Just when I think it couldn't get any worse......it did, and it did in a big way. That was so bad. 1 Quote

triumph_communes Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 Okposo played like 20 minutes due to other injuries. It’s amazing we even scored a goal Blame the game in the empty net miss Quote
Kruppstahl Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 I can't believe how many people are actually taking this loss hard. I thought *for sure* the streak would end tonight after the 2nd period. It had that look the entire game, in fact. But of course, we found a way to lose, which is laughable. I genuinely want to see the streak continue at this point. I think we can get it to 20 or maybe even 25. Dare to dream, Sabres fans! 2 hours ago, Southtown Tommy said: He needs to be part of a big hockey trade. Been saying this for a couple years. A soft and average player.. Reinhart is one of 2 really good hockey players on this team, and we tanked an entire season of God awful hockey to get him. OK, he should have been Draisaitl that was a huge miss by GMTM, but he's still a damned good player. If we trade him, we will lose the trade. Why do Sabres fans hate on the good players? The team sucks so get rid of the 2nd best player on it? Trade Eichel too? I don't get that. Quote

Then get ready for more of the same. You have to roll with it and enjoy it for what it is at this point. I want that streak to get to 25. Quote
Thorner Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 Normally it’s reasonably possible to laugh things off, at this point, but blowing a 3-0 lead always stings a bit. Seeing literally the only projected top 6 C in the entire system aside from Eichel go down to injury 3 times as a Sabre, in the span of 25 NHL games played is the other thing. Quote

Apparently Jack is seriously hurt too so that does not bide well for our future at center... 1 Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Blowing the 3 goal lead doesn't bother me. This is all preseason as far as I'm concerned. I want to see improvement. And we saw these guys play pretty well for 2 periods. If we can see more of this then maybe Granato is making a difference. The book on Dahlin is out and the league knows it. Pressure him and he'll cough up the puck. I'm seeing teams go after him everytime he gets the puck. But I also thought he played with more confidence and did some great stuff. Just keep working on it even if you keep screwing up. These games don't matter. Play like this is extended camp. Edited March 30, 2021 by PromoTheRobot 1 Quote
miles Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 Yeah, but 3 goal against a bad team is hard to swallow Quote

I honestly felt like Mitts and Thompson carried the Hall line more than the other way around. Skinner and Okposo were like the best line on the ice for a stretch. Risto/Irwin on the other hand are an absolute train wreck. Quote
