Bring that team back. It was before Granato taught them "defense" It appears to be they have yet to be taught that. Quote

But in less than 24 hours the Sabres have gone from having to play at a 96 point pace* to make the playoffs to now a 98.4 point pace. *YMMV You have been getting into the numbers lately? Pretty soon you will be rolling out fancy stats. We need to know: (1) Expected high danger fanning on the puck, (2) % of breakout passes behind the winger per 60 minutes, and (3) % of goals given up by standing around with stick blade in the air, - fixing stuff like this would improve the team greatly. 1 1 Quote

ska-T Palmtown Posted October 5 Report Posted October 5 2 minutes ago, Big Guava said: Oh I'm sorry...I guess they are suddenly some impenetrable defense and completely different from last year lol - actually, yes. They got some injuries back and signed some actual effective FA d-men. That said - I don't disagree that Buffalo's forwards have looked like doo-doo. Heck POWER has looked like are best F at times, hahaha. Quote

Rarely can a coach just flip a switch and change years of bad habits and loser mentality. Of course being 14 years on, patience is justifiably in short supply. I had my doubts about being back Lindy and these two games are certainly doing nothing to sway me, but I do get that there's a hill to climb. Edited October 5 by HumanSlinky39 Quote

It's not a feeling, it's a fact. If they're going to lose, is it too much to ask that they at least make it entertaining? 1 1 Quote
WhenWillItEnd66 Posted October 5 Report Posted October 5 I paid for this and I am out... ughhhh Have a great weekend all. Quote

Don't worry, Appert will take over for Lindy and Fornton will take over for Adams and the cycle will continue Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted October 5 Report Posted October 5 Where’s McCloud? This guy is probably pissed that he went from a Stanley Cup contender to this pure garbage! And Matt Savoie will probably be a solid player 1 Quote

Scottysabres Posted October 5 Report Posted October 5 This team sucks man. Wow, can't even improve with time. Something is really really wrong in Buffalo. Hockey players come here to learn disfunction. 1 Quote

mjd1001 Posted October 5 Report Posted October 5 It looks like the Sabres are playing in a video game where the setting has their skating speed at 10% less than the other team. They aren't keeping up with the opponent often, and they aren't even accelerating well. Its almost like every shift they look like they are winded tired, at the end of a long shift even when they just get out there. Quote
