So JJ would have a higher upside but would we say no to another 23-24 What do you think he'd cost. Looking at his contract I'd say he'd want 5x$7.5M or so at least. Edited April 21 by ...

Andrew Amerk Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 Is there a SabreSpace playoffs bracket this year that I missed? Quote
SABRES 0311 Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 Maple Leafs are getting ragdolled in their own end. I’ve never seen a softer playoff team. 2 Quote

He's incredibly streaky and is likely to disappoint overall. He was good tonight, but that's definitely not every night. Man I love playoff hockey though. Watching this Bruins Leafs game I found myself thinking that even if the Sabres managed to make the playoffs they are so not ready for this. Leafs tried to be physical but this Bruins team looks more playoff ready than last year. Sweeney's deadline moves look like genius. Quote

I honestly think the Sabres would do better than you probably believe; against Boston we'd be overwhelmed but I don't think we'd look much more out of place than the Leafs are. 1 Quote
sabrefanday1 Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 Clearly Leafs look overwhelmed...their coach is kinda a Granato clone...the team is horrible defenseively. Soon as they are knocked out they wil fire the coach and Sabres need to move fast to get their man before the Leafs are looking and take a coach we may want. Also wonder about Colorado after they were absolutely destroyed by the Peg 7-0 at home in their 2nd last game of the season... Quote
OverPowerYou Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 I just can’t get into these games. The Sabres have made me hockey depressed. There was a time when I would watch as much nhl playoffs as I could. Quote
JustOneParade Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 My wife and I started watching the TO-BOS game late in the first period. She, who knows even less about hockey than I, says “the Sabres don’t play anything like these teams do”. I love watching playoff hockey. 1 Quote

Can't agree. D would fold under this level of physicality. Our weaknesses are net front and defending when forechecked heavily. That's playoffs. We are not built for it. Quote

Our weaknesses are net front and defending when forechecked heavily. That's playoffs. We are not built for it. So, last off-season, I was optimistic and believed KA would make more significant changes. You were pessimistic, and obviously proven correct. It's not very happy making, however, to simply have no plausible hope. I do believe there are sufficient talent and assets to make a leap forward. I still think competent, veteran coaching that will hold a young team accountable can make substantial differences. Surely, they can find a coach that will at least raise the PP to close to ordinary. But no doubt, the mix is wrong. The question is does KA properly appreciate that, and how hard would it be to transform the roster so that getting to the playoffs isn't followed by rapid dismissal and embarrassment. I don't want to have endured 13 years of nothing only to see that happen. Edited April 21 by Dr. Who Quote
Believer Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 Just started 3rd… Panthers 2-1 over Lightning on PP… PP was 3-54 before this goal… Shades of Sabres… Hits were 40-37 after two periods… Hamilton said Hits don’t matter… Hahaha. Quote

OverPowerYou Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 (edited) I’ve always enjoyed the western conference games so much better. The colors, the logos, the late nights, the speed, the scoring, the hitting. Even the fans are more into it. Eastern teams are so boring in my opinion Edited April 21 by OverPowerYou Quote
Believer Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 Ha… So much for that… Nice last minute save by Bobrovsky… Wow… 3-2 with 8 seconds left… Too little too late… Quote
