Two defensemen will not fix the problem. The whole team needs to play defense

100%, you can't just solve defense by dropping in a few studs

that's a band aid solution

hell it might be a very strong band aid, but you can't build a sustainably great team that way

[Believer]

We decide to start back checking and hitting… and don’t transition, rush, and shoot… As DG will say, we are not playing our game… 

[Stoner]

An infomercial for mental health. Wonderful.

[Randall Flagg]

It is mind boggling that we're all still here watching this show after all this time

[Norcal]

I guess I picked a good time to move across country and miss a few games. 

Sigh.

Anderson vs Saros tonight 

Yep our 3 NHL goalies:

1. A geriatric who has nothing left

2. A guy who's ranked 68th out of 68 goalies who KA thought was a good one to sign to be a #1 NHl goalie

3. a big lug with no angle control, no rebound control was lousy in the EHL, lousy in the AHL why would he be less than lousy in the NHL?  

I read a stat today that in the Boston 7-0 loss, Boston scored on 4 of 8 high chance shots (apparently UPL also got scored on 3 time on non high chance shots) while Buffalo went 0-8.  Buffalo also outshot Boston by 1.  Every game it's like we start down 3 goals due to the difference in goaltending.

Saros vs Anderson is a joke

It's like a train wreck we can't turn away from.

Like season 8 of Game of Thrones, gotta see how it ends. 

[Gatorman0519]

This segment is something …so the Sabres have psychological problems?

You and I were probably quoting each other in GDTs while we were both still in high school

Looking at their play, your surprised?

[LGR4GM]

Maybe we should trying unplugging the Sabres and then plugging them back in?

I love you (not) @Sidc3000 🤣

What part of: "Time and growth needed. We need to build to make playoffs next year"

did I not make clear, my good sir?

thanks @Spoonman, love you too (not) 🤣

Time.. How long have I’ve been told that 🙄.  The defense problems are not going to be fixed in one offseason. If they do then DG is a miracle worker since he e hasn’t even tried to fix it this season. 
 

i will be positive when they show that they can actually play both sides consistently and win. 

[Randall Flagg]

Inglourious Basterds Hitler rant scene but it's Kevyn telling Terry that there aren't a lot of Predators fans in southern Ontario

this would be sending all the sabres to the AHL for one game and bringing all the amerks up for one game lol

Greenway was known as a plus defender in Minnesota. He looks as useless as everybody else on this roster defensively in a Sabres sweater. The problem isn't all players, it's systemic.

Their game doesn’t work this time of year

Well DG kept saying they’re stressed so maybe

I hate seeing you like this. Truly. You are entitled to it of course. But I rely on you to tell me I'm wrong and that everything will be OK.

[Carmel Corn]

IDK - maybe the players are believing what Donny is saying is his postgame pressers.....they are STRESSED.  His comments do nothing but convey weakness and excuses...so they're in over their heads.  That's motivating (not!)

[Quint]

This team has the yips.
