But there’s only so much a coach can do. Somebody needs to take control in that locker room and hold other players accountable in no uncertain terms. Too many youngsters who don’t seem to know the first thing about what it takes to be a pro. I get the impression they don’t hate losing. Quote
Pimlach Posted December 3, 2023 Report Posted December 3, 2023 Marty’s analysis is spot on Muel on the second goal. He made a hit, and the puck went into a high danger area leading to a goal. But he made a hit. Blame the goalie, but this team does not play smart defense. Maybe they should have <sarcasm on> taught defense sooner in theIr system. <sarcasm off> Quote

Believer Posted December 3, 2023 Report Posted December 3, 2023 Samuelson plays 6’4 220lb soft D… Does not play to win… If he’s not playing hurt, Granato should sit the chump for a couple games… Quote

Granato can't get them past where he's gone it appears and Adams has flat out refused to bring in some protection type players to patrol and protect the younger guys. Let's not even beat the terrible D and goaltending deadhorse. Every team plays a heavy game against us, they know it's successful, it works. Being patient isn't going to solve that problem, as a matter of fact, it's fostering a terrible environment for these young players, that's just the truth based on what were witnessing game after game on the ice imho. True. Carolina plays a heavy game all the time. Most teams play that way. 2 Quote
LGR4GM Posted December 3, 2023 Report Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) I honestly might not watch more. This team has no... swagger, guts, grit, brains, determination. They need to grow up fast or yet again, another loser season. Edited December 3, 2023 by LGR4GM 1 1 Quote

They are doing really poorly for medium chances against. I'm expert, but I'll put high danger chances against on the defense. Medium danger... I put that on the team playing okay defense, but not maintaining zone possession. Quote

I simply don't understand why the Buffalo Sabres are perpetually the Buffalo "Wimps". I'm not talking about goon hockey, but simply a collection of more than just one or two players who regularly play a heavy game and not afraid to defend their teammates. 3-0 now....way to go team!!! 1 1 Quote

mjd1001 Posted December 3, 2023 Report Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Ok, I just watched the first goal again, and I feel the same way I have on a lot of my recent comments. that isn't coaching. That isn't the D. The D were caught back by themselves, where the heck are the forwards? It was off of an offensive zone faceoff, The d-men had to cover the whole zone and make decisions because NONE of the forwards hustled back. That is not on the D, that is not on coaching (directly). These Forwards are awful. When the shot was taken, Cozens was just trailing into the zone and Benson? He was still at center ice and coasting. AFTER AN OFFENSIVE ZONE FACEOFF. 2nd goal, they take the puck out of their zone, skate through the forecheck like it isn't even there. Who's the right wing? Biro? No where near his side and that is where the goal comes from. This D is not the problem. The forwards absolutely are hideous and playing positionallly and backchecking. I don't think I've ever seen a team worse. Edited December 3, 2023 by mjd1001 Quote
