Thorner Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 Just now, Thorny said: I think a lot of people, including Kevyn this past summer, overestimate our actual roster Players being indecisive when faced with a responsible challenge from an opposing player is reflective of talent. It’s reflective of hockey sense 1 Quote

DarthEbriate Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 Sabres breakaway: no shot on goal and the Blues turn it into a 2-on-1. 1 Quote

Doohicksie Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 So often the Sabres have full control of the puck behind their net and repeatedly fail to clear. 1 Quote

Believer Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 3rd period half over… Sabres down by one… 3 shots… Blues up by one… 8 shots Quote

Mango Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 It’s weird we keep wearing the black/red against other black/red teams. It actually drives me crazy when it happens vs Carolina, Ottawa, etc. Should have worn the goat heads today vs STL and the home sweaters vs. Dallas. It is either complain about this or complain about our PP or inability to crash the net today. 1 Quote

Then poof, back into a frog. Considering how particularly strong our performance was last year in the portion of the season coming AFTER teams might have already concluded us to be a mediocre team (it was in March after falling well out of the race), I think what you propose is very possible. I think these guys can be what we saw but it’s a chess game and it’s a dance: other teams took action against us and we didn’t do anything this offseason. We had no counter for what was always coming Edited February 10 by Thorny 1 Quote

ExWNYer Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 Not that a 'loser point' even matters at this point since this team is so far out of it but the fact that they rarely even get a game to OT, especially on home ice, is completely embarrassing. And yet, they don't feel the need to change a thing either via trade or coaching/front office. 2 Quote

Then poof, back into a frog. I also think the Sabres were written off last year and faced a lot of back up goaltenders. They surprised a few teams taking the night off. There was some league wide hype around Buffalo this year and they got a few teams best shots early because of it. 1 Quote
Carmel Corn Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 Anybody know the all-time record for number of seasons a professional sports franchise has missed the playoffs? Not talking about currently (ex. Jets, Sabres, etc.), but have there been other sports teams that have failed to reach the playoffs 15 or 20 years? Maybe the Detroit Lions (before this season)? Quote
French Collection Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 That looked like a basketball scrum, slapping at each other. Quote

I can’t think of the last national tv game won. Last year they won a bunch. I feel bad for the fans there and the kids. You just want the Sabres to put on a show and win these home games. I feel fortunate that growing up in the 70’s, we had an exciting and excellent team. Competitive and scrappy from the very start. Edited February 10 by Pimlach 2 1 Quote
