Seriously, so many soft calls on him! Reffing isn’t Sabres biased but it’s definitely young players biased. refs feel the need to “learn ‘em” it’s rather a joke, yes 1 Quote

Where's Tage? It's the return of the giraffe. Absolutely useless floater. 3 minutes ago, Norcal said: To mr X on my post. Go watch your favorite team and kick rocks. U don't deserve that moniker.

Believer Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 Astounding Adams revealed Pegula watches all the games… Wonder what Pegula is thinking when fans boo his team off the ice? Wonder what he is saying to Adams when his team misses the playoffs for the 13th straight year… and still have half a season to play?? Does Pegula ever express displeasure with his Sabre management team? 2 1 Quote
Gatorman0519 Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 Glad I skipped this one. Predictable outcome when playing a real team. 2 Quote

They really, really have to baby him back there since he’s not an NHL caliber goalie Yet when UPL is in net they still struggle to score and have the 29th ranked power play. So that’s a false premise. 1 Quote

I just don't like fans of other teams coming in here and acting like Sabres fans. It's obvious you switched teams years ago. I'll never quit on this team like you did. 2 1 Quote

They definitely seem to play better when confident in their goalie. It’s anecdotal, I could be wrong. Certainly feels that way. Record seems to reflect it. Powerplay is an entirely different issue The thing about Comrie is he’s objectively bad. There aren’t any arguments in his favour. His numbers aren’t NHL worthy, below replacement. If someone can defend Comrie, they can defend anyone 1 Quote

Thorner Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 We have to seriously start considering the possibility the Sabres won’t win 3 in a row this entire season has that happened to any team in recent memory? 3 Quote

Mango Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 I’m irrationally annoyed that Tuch opened his post game with “I think them getting the first goal was the difference tonight.” I really like Tuch the player, the teammate, and the person. But Jesus dude… 45 BS shots to the center of the chest from 30 feet out won’t get it done in the ECHL let alone the NHL. Also, these fanatics hats almost never fit anybody properly. I can’t believe they have a 10 year contract. Quote
Believer Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 Personally sick of listening to Tuch make excuses for losses… Not a leader mentality… 1 1 1 Quote
gomper Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 Well, another useless effort. I just got home from the game. The degree to which they got outworked in 50/50 battles for the puck was obscene. Something is very wrong here and I have no confidence they'll identify it or fix it. At least I picked up some good wings on the ride home. 4 Quote

But he’s not why this team lost tonight either. Quote
Big Guava Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 Once again we make a whatever goalie look like Dominik Hasek in his Prime. SMH Quote
Thorner Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 Just now, Mango said: Not defending Comrie. But he made some saves. He needs to be replaced. Full stop. But he’s not why this team lost tonight either. No goalie could be the reason we lost in a game we don’t score. It doesn’t really say anything The presence of an issue doesn’t preclude the existence of another issue, I never understand this logic Quote
Carmel Corn Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 What this team needs is simply not already a part of it today. They need a GM and a coach with an FU attitude and they also needed different players who bring the same FU attitude. Look at Philadelphia as an example. No amount of lipstick on this pig will deliver what we want. 3 Quote
GoPuckYourself Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 I have to believe Pegula has checked out, how can there be 0 changes when your team is this terrible at everything? We haven't even got rid of a single assistant coach, nothing? Adams stated that behind closed doors Pegula is very much involved in all operations and if thats true this is really sad. How do we have 0 changes other than Robinson who never plays? 1 5 Quote

The effort was so bad from our skaters that goaltending barely seems worth mentioning in regards to this single game. But at scale, I totally agree with you. 1 Quote
Mango Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 I like Donnie the person quite a bit. Kind of in the same way I liked Gailey with the Bills I think he’s likely a smart hockey man but not an NHL HC. Seeing him at the podium these days is depressing. I feel for the guy. It almost seems like it’s in his best interest to take him behind the barn. 1 2 Quote
