Post-Game Talk (GBU): Buffalo Sabres at Ottawa Senators 7:30PM 2/18/2020

[Sound_n_Fury]

Hutton's the worst positional goalie I've seen in the NHL in many, many years. It's jaw dropping how he just flails away when sliding post to post or when guys try the wrap around.

At this point, Hammond would be a better option, but the season's over so who cares.

 

[Ace]

I guess he f---ed up his Sudoku

It was a crossword puzzle.

The clue was “a type of transaction sports teams make to improve their roster”.

We could’ve actually seriously flirted with a playoff race if we had won tonight.....

Going on a playoff run with Carter Sutton?
I don't think so.

He's the anti-hasek. All slinky, no miraculous saves

 

[debaser66]

There should be a 10year limit on clueless owners
Its like the salary cap
Let's call it
Sanity cap

 

[joshjull]

JJ is hardly a youngster, he's 24. He literally could not have been worse than Hutton, and this was a crucial game in staying alive for the playoffs.

Guy is just a clown.

I can’t take you seriously with such a hot take.

 

[Dirty Dog]

We have started a sub .900 sv percentage goalie for 25 games

Haha. A perfect joke is one where the setup and the punch line are one in the same.

you sir, just provided a rare example.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Hutton has 11 wins this year. Sabres have scored 43 goals in those wins (3.9 goals per game). Its a miracle their record is where it is

 

[CrazyMonkey1208]

Those papers he slammed were his trade proposal to Ottawa that got rejected. It read - "Bogosian for Pageau and a first rounder" Ottawa laughed at him and hung up moments before

 

[jd1970]

And Botts throwing papers around instead of getting another goalie.

 

[kirby11]

What’s up Jason, you just now realizing Hutton sucks? Plenty of goalies out there, you should have gotten one months ago.

But are any of them as nice as Hutton?

 

[Dirty Dog]

I can’t take you seriously with such a hot take.

none of us should take anything seriously right now. This is sports lunacy

 

[Jim Carr's Rug]

Sell sell sell sell sell sell sell

 

[KiwiGriff]

Bahahahha

Cant even get mad correctly

Great banter

 

[Dirty Dog]

Sell sell sell sell sell sell sell

but only the small pieces. Let leave the big boy trades for Bott’s successor

 

[GOALOFSSON]

Yeah we know you and your pollyanna bs. Keep it.

Can't help it with Eichel/Dahlin/Olofsson on the team and their age (plus other good pieces that also fit our timeline)

It'll be fun watching the 180

He tried to write "sitting on hands" for 3 periods

 

[CrazyMonkey1208]

Sell sell sell sell sell sell sell

No one's buying

 

[VaporTrail]

hahahah Botterill throwing those papers...that's hilarious...Man, he must be getting Kool Aid directly from the factory if he thinks this team was going anywhere lol

 

[Not Sure]

Maybe we can get Andersson from Ottawa 5 years too late and complete the Ottawa goaltender trifecta. Oh well, UPL is only a few years away before we find out if hes a starter.

 

[Snippit]

I can’t take you seriously with such a hot take.

???

Look, if Krueger really came into the game with no intention of ever pulling Hutton even if he shits the bed like he was in the first period, that needs to be communicated directly to Botts.

That's unacceptable that we'd be in a situation like that, and that's both of their faults.

But even having that mindset by Krueger in the first place is absolutely moronic. Who gives a shit about protecting the youngsters when the goalie is single handedly costing you a massive game?

 

[Hashbrown77]

I actually remember when good goaltending was a staple of Buffalo Sabres hockey. 80's had good goalies, 90's had GREAT goalies, 2000's had good goalies.........since Miller left all we have had is AHL level goaltending. Starting to see a pattern here??

really curious why Hammond wasn’t chosen over JoJo. I think the answer is Botts felt comfy riding and dying with a Hutton. Which speaks volumes about Botts

Its all bla bla top to bottom in this org
