By the time UPL had faced 8 shots he had let in 50% of them. Dreadful. Quote

Adams is the one that let the team down by not supporting the team to get them to the playoffs. They quit just like he did for a draft pick 3 Quote

I would be pissed if I was Adams. To some extent it's possible. The culture they are (were?) attempting to build is (was?) a fragile thing and when basically no help came at the deadline some players may have thought well, that's it for this year. Pride? Even if they signed long term deals (because it was their best $ option under this CBA) I don't think many of these players feel particularly connected to the blue and gold. I doubt there's anybody (maybe Tuch) who want to play the rest of their career in Buffalo the way some guys feel about Boston. It's not that they necessarily want out, but I doubt they'd be heartbroken if traded to a contender. Quote

rickshaw Posted March 20, 2023 Report Posted March 20, 2023 I can’t believe the Canucks are now 5 pts behind Buffalo. They have no idea how to tank going 8-2 last 10. Maybe we luck out on Bedard Quote

I suspected that's where you went, but I'm always looking for new spots to check out. They do a good dinner as well. Love the Beef Bourguignon. Yes, I make a mean Bourguignon, but sometimes it's better to just relax and not cook all day. There is a place in Williamsville, breakin eggs in main st, they do crepes and a good breakfast/brunch. It's not quite to the level of the European ones, but for being local, they do pretty well. Quote

sabremike Posted March 20, 2023 Report Posted March 20, 2023 I was a Whalers fan and the disgusting vile chowdahead scum would routinely infest the HCC and I can tell you the fan ratio was never as lopsided as that game yesterday afternoon. 1 Quote

I did not get to enjoy the beat down, as I was travelling for my daughter's wedding tomorrow. Thanks for the positivity brotha. I had a wonderful visit with my daughter tonight. So happy for her and her awesome (tomorrow) husband. What is the latest on Levi? I would like to see him v Nashville ...... I guess I am in a HIP mood tonight. 🤣🤣🤣⚔️ Congratulations! Quote
OverPowerYou Posted March 20, 2023 Report Posted March 20, 2023 I bet Meier or Chychrun or both would’ve helped yesterday at least a little Quote

We have 3 goalies, meaning we don’t have a goalie. 1. Shouldn’t be an excuse. Shows mental weakness and the GM’s inability to secure depth 2. that is 100% on the training staff. If the 20-somethings can’t handle the 82 games season then Adams needs to fire the training staff and hire people that can keep these kids physically fit for 82 games. 3. I agree with this and most of the players on this team haven’t experienced it. The problem I have is that playoff hockey is about defense and this coaching staff does not prioritize it. They are offense only and That will only get you about this far 4. That is 100% on the GM. He (and many on this board) is all about the kids growing old together and not bringing in vets that could interfere with the kids club 5. Technical 4 goalies now and so very true. At least Levi will be getting on the team just in time to join the kids club in the Caribbean at the end of April. DG talked about all the stress these kids are under right now and that is what is affecting their performance. Awww, poor babies. They can’t handle a little stress? Maybe they need a bigger safe space with more PS5’s so they can relieve some stress. Well they better learn quick on how to handle the stress of the end of the season quick because that ***** excuse isn’t going to work next season. Oh wait a second, we’re talking about Sabres fans. We have basically accepted every excuse in the books for why they can’t get to the post season. don’t with my rant. I needed to get that off my chest. Quote

Nitro60 Posted March 20, 2023 Report Posted March 20, 2023 14 goals against in the past two games versus the Bruins. They know how to thump the Sabres. Granato has his work cut out for him. Quote

Good points. They still played poorly and as individuals instead as a team. Edited March 20, 2023 by Nitro60 1 1 Quote
Pimlach Posted March 20, 2023 Report Posted March 20, 2023 I took some time to watch replays and the DG interview. That was dumb of me. Time to put this away. I just hope the y play hard the rest of the way. Would really like to see Tage snd Dahlin get their games back. The talk of getting a better draft pick irritates me. I want them to make one last run, start scoring and winning again to end the season. Really need to do that to make this season end on a better note. Quote

I am not making excuses for them but the facts are they are not yet ready for prime time. There is a lot of work to do. Speaking of Tesm - They don’t stick up for each other nearly enough anymore either. They were doing it for awhile. Great to see Cozens take on Frederick, after Frederick went after Dahlin. Greendog had his chances to answer but he doesn’t want to be bothered. 1 Quote

We tend to live and die by the moment, but years later we just look back at the point total to more less assess how a season went- there’s a reason we do that. The most accurate reading is almost always in the larger pool of data People will say it doesn’t matter, maybe it’s semantics, it almost seems too simple, but sometimes I think we / I do over complicate. Win more games to end, and prove yourself a team *less in NEED* of that higher pick. I want to be a Sabres team that finishes with 89 points, not a Sabres team that fails to break Bylsma’s mark from my first season posting here. maybe it doesn’t matter but on balance, in the macro, I’ll take the season w/more points as far as what it means for the future. Nothing wrong with the future seeming a little more in reach Edited March 20, 2023 by Thorny 1 Quote
