I looked at Philly, the entire D-unit (especially Risto), how they play, and figure if the Sabres played them in a 7 game series, Buffalo should sweep that team. Then in January, Philly beat a pretty healthy (at the time) Buffalo 4-0, putting almost 40 shots on Anderson I think. I blocked out most of that game form my memory, but what I do recall is Jost was probably the best player on the ice for the team. Expand It's probably a good thing we don't make the playoffs. Style we play is NOT playoff hockey and no matter who we played we'd go out in 4, 5 games at the most. 3 Quote

There is no reason a rebuild requires 3 entire seasons being thrown away. This is the 4th GM in a row that this franchise has hired who is way too comfortable burning seasons for some future that never materializes. Sabres fans have Stockholm syndrome from the franchise's historic run of ineptitude, but it's important to remember that the NHL is not a developmental league. Fans of a franchise should be able to look forward to more than just prospect porn. Expand POTY. Sabres were 5-3 in the eight games before the deadline. 2-5-1 since. The case is growing. 1 Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted March 18, 2023 Report Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Unlike last year, when the team progressed as the season went along, this team is worse now than they were 20 games ago. Yes there have been injuries and the goaltending has stunk, but the coaching staff has not successfully adjusted to the injuries or the defensive structure to help the goaltenders.

The fact that they are "tough" relative to the rest of the team is simply a reflection of how soft the team as a whole is. 1 Quote
