GDT: Gm #73 OTT at BUF 27-Mar 7:00pm MSG, ESPN+ stream, WGR radio

How much will Granato blame the start on being the first game back from a road trip?

I expect all of it. He can clean his desk out in the morning.

 

[enthusiast]

Just start cleaning house

 

[5 Minute Major]

I expect all of it. He can clean his desk out in the morning.

I sure hope someone has the balls enough to ask him why he didn’t call a timeout after 2-0 and follow that up by asking him if he feels there’s ever a reason to use your timeout in the first 10 minutes of the game.

 

[Fearnot]

G: They let Terry know how they feel about his birthday.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

What is the Sabres plan on offense? Where are the triggers to get easy looks? Where is the transition support when they do kill plays in the defensive zone? Sometimes I feel like the players aren’t as talented as I think they are, other teams I feel like they’re put in impossible situations that ONLY talent can overcome.

Like, down 2-0 your goalie is playing awful. Pull him. Or call a timeout. Do SOMETHING.

Our offensive plan is entirely rush based. And it’s only when the other team messes up. The second period in this game for instance looked better because Ottawa backed off as one would do after 5-0. When they decided to play and counter us again we had absolutely no answers. You can’t have one way to play Don! 9 games left. Can’t come soon enough.

Biron and Duff literally started off the post-game with that. Seriously.

Even better:
(A) ask why he didn't call a timeout after 2-0.

(B) Then, stoically follow-up with why didn't you call a timeout after 3-0?

(C) Then, with even greater stoicism, ask if it crossed his mind to call a timeout after 4-0.

(D) Finally, ask if the unused timeout is worth something at Moe's the day after the game, win or lose.

Can you imagine if Mike Robitaille was still doing the post-game what he'd be saying?

 

[OkimLom]

He’d be let go long before he would have a chance to give his two cents.

There’s no criticism at Roby’s level in the State Propaganda Machine known as the Buffalo Sabres Broadcast.

 

[BB79]

They’ve allowed Pegula to own this team for 13 years…so yeah…they allow forfeits.

A shame we can't play in a college arena like the Coyotes. Might as well, maybe they'll actually win some home games

 

[oldgoalie]

Biron and Duff literally started off the post-game with that. Seriously.

Nicely scripted, I guess. From the propaganda department.

 

[BB79]

going 9-0.

 

[beerme1]

Who is back up? Levi or Comrie?

UPL

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Let's not wait. Just put them (and us) out of their/our misery now!

I don't disagree, but the premise was mathematical elimination.

 

[BFLO]

Happy Birthday Terry. You eff-ing clown

 

[toddkaz]

Good teams don't complain or make excuses about the schedule. Its insulting to the fans that they use it as an excuse.

They didn't pump the breaks once on the comeback machine until goal #6. Just smile and soothe the listeners with sweet lies to keep them watching.

 

[Steddy33]

At home against the Sens? Glad I missed all of this shit

 

[Jeremy2020]

How excited is everyone to watch this same **** again next season?

 

[toddkaz]

Word Salad, hot mess. Granato - They were generating chances they just weren't going in...Sheesh this guy is a clown. Excuses to make the loss sound like it wasn't so bad.

This is worse than the drought Bills. Someone online said the Sabres are the hockey version of the NY Jets and it's sadly accurate
