Idemo Buffalo Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 Only 6 goals in our last 3 games. 3 losses. Tage Thompson. ZERO Goals Alex Tuch. One Goal. 1 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 Even game. Equal teams. Both bad. A big thing was made of the line up changes coming and then nothing major. I thought Ruff would be different but this is the way this team goes every year. Just tinker around the edges but not sitting the guys who actually sucked the most. These changes were meaningless and I do not in any way see how that teaches accountability. I had to laugh, sportsnet was running the Detroit feed and they referred to Bryson as "diminutive". Lousy game. Lousy teams. 1 Quote

Agreed for a Stanley Cup caliber team, but they should be good enough to get 95 points and a playoff spot. Maybe you are right. Thompson and Tuch are just not producing. Quote
mjd1001 Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 The good news for the team in general, Cozens scored last game so he no longer is goal-less. The bad news, he is a top 6 forward and leading your entire team in shots....and that guy who leads your team in shots is shooting a 'heroic' 2.8% for the season. Quote
Goldseatsaud Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 Let’s see new coaches and nothing changes. Is Ted Sator available Quote

I know it's early in the season, but, if it's not obvious after 3+ seasons of basically the same core, I don't know what is obvious. and this should not be done by Kevin Adams Yes, A tear down should start with Kevin Adams being fired. 2 1 Quote

Thank God for espn+ Time to watch a real team...the Bills. Truth is Pegula has no clue what's he's doing owning teams. He lucked into Beane and McDermott, after stupidly retaining Whaley/That sex offender whom I can't remember his name and hiring Rex Ryan. 1 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 So the Sabres are struggling to score. I’m shocked. Another mistake filled loss. Quote
mjd1001 Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 Just now, Idemo Buffalo said: Agreed for a Stanley Cup caliber team, but they should be good enough to get 95 points and a playoff spot. Maybe you are right. Thompson and Tuch are just not producing. Sarcasm, right? Tuch who scored the only goal today and is on a 27 goal pace, and Thompson who just had a pretty long point streak and is still on a 47 goal pace? Quote
Believer Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 Just now, KC Scouts said: He plays when he wants to play. I think he is lazy and uninspired Well, same goes for Tuch and Samuelson. Three Casual players. All three wearing an A. Ruff should tear all the A’s off the jerseys. Assign one A each game. Rotate through the team. His choice. Quote

Believer Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 Didn’t seem any line late in the game looked like they’d played together more than 10 minutes. Strangers. Maybe Ruff was mixing up lines looking for a spark. Didn’t work. Quote
Carmel Corn Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 If GMKA is looking to “add” more talent (rumor), then he is losing more leverage with each game. The smell of desperation is thick again and every GM in the league will fleece him 1 1 Quote

thewookie1 Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 (edited) 21 minutes ago, Believer said: They did. Bryson was just short of the Red Line His follow through was over the line meaning its typically considered fine. How is it that last year all we wanted were for them to crash the net and to help get goals; now they do actually crash the net and it still doesn't go in. Jack Quinn's utter implosion over the offseason needs a 30 for 30; I can't say I have ever seen a player go from competent or better winger with flare and talent along with defensive mindedness to being borderline braindead and quite literally handling the puck like a grenade. Do we need to demand Granato call up Quinn and pump his tires or something? We seem to perpetually have issues no matter what moves we make; players who are consistently solid will inexplicably fall apart as soon as we fix a different issue. Worst of all I know for a fact if we trade Quinn he'll be a perennial 30 goal scorer because Buffalo. That's all there is to explain some of the issues. Goaltending was mostly fine last year, this year its suspect. 2 years ago we scored at will and now we have to pray to get them some nights. Players seem to perpetually falter here whether it be endlessly loops of learning and unlearning or flat out stagnation and/or collapse. We rarely catch a break with a player or a bounce; the refs actively some nights seem hellbent on screwing us I'm just at a loss for words. How can a team with as many changes as we have had since 2013 be still more or less the same exact team? And you can't blame Pegula for the players' issues. Edited November 3 by thewookie1 2 Quote

But the decision to sit Clifton hurt the PK. Muel was the most worthy of sitting. Still is. Edited November 3 by Pimlach 1 Quote
