GDT: #25 Pens @ Sabres 3/11 Another night of Krueger magic

[Rodgerwilco]

Can you teleport me to the dimension/reality where this is a true statement?

To be fair, they hit a ton of posts tonight. I know posts aren't goals. But this game was a few inches away from being a LOT closer of a game.

Lucic highlighted a problem that a decade of GMs haven't addressed

Murray came closest to addressing it by acquiring Bogosian, Kane, Lehner, Deslauriers, and ROR

Got to give Murray credit for at least having a clear vision of what he wanted

Ralph: We’re on the right track of our process. We’ve got to stick with our plan and continue to play with character and determination”.

If you've watched Sabres games, hitting 4 posts is about par for the course.

The whole league is going to be dying of laughter when this losing streak hits 15 and Kreuger is still coaching. This team is cooked. This was one of their better games as of recent and they still lose 5-2, haha.

Thank you Terry and Kim. This is a slap in the face to every single fan.

5 games in a row with 5 goals against so basically not worth watching at all. There is no way I'm watching any more games until they get an actual coach and a real NHL goalie instead of being complacent about letting morons run the show. You can whine about hitting posts all day but they get outshot every flipping game even when the opponent has a big lead in the 3rd.

 

[hypaspazz]

New strategy Ralph. Take shots or take bodies, all else unacceptable.

Biron says that hit on Cozens was clean? Was he scarfing down edibles or something because that was as cheap and filthy as it gets.

I assume clean in that it wasn’t late.

Consistency!!

Really miss the 90’s when you see the stuff that goes unanswered now.

Sabres tried to find rock bottom but they just dug through the entire planet. If we ever need to send someone into space and stop a meteor like in the movie Armageddon, just send the Sabres.

Cozens was literally thrown into the boards. Not squeezed or rubbed. Tossed. Biron just lost a whole bunch of credibility with me.

So the team should just let it all go because technically it was "clean"?

I thought he played this game and understood it.

Don’t need those type of players, we need better players at a time of developing a team...I remember the Bogo going nuts in AZ game where I thought this organization turned a corner in that department. Then the team got neutered and any sort of character toughness was shipped away without filling back in.

They are all hacks. This team is amateur hour on and off the ice.

He thought they should have responded. He said something along the lines of it not mattering if it was legal or not. Has to be answered

Then Botterill came in and traded away all of them, and Foligno too. Just completely emasculated this team.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

I'm not a fan of them but either Tkachuk boy would be the style of play I'd be looking for.

Frankly, we need players able and willing to play like Anaheim. You might beat them but you are going to have earned it and will be feeling sore afterwards. This is why Boudreau would be a breath of fresh air.

 

[jc17]

I roll my eyes and honestly feel bad for the players at times when they get bad puck luck and people chalk it up to lack of effort.


But this was embarrassing. not showing life when you're losing isn't good but leaves me irritated. Not sticking up for your teammates is so infuriating.

I don't always love the old school coach stuff, but the team should be skating suicides regardless of the condensed schedule, maybe give miller fewer reps.

Idk, obviously an overreaction but I really do think it should be addressed

He's a PSE stooge. Mike Robitaille is the last truly honest person PSE state media has ever employed. Can you imagine what he'd be saying tonight?

Also screw the media chump who asked Ralph about being snakebit.

 

[joshjull]

Are “we” though?

The bottom line is that they've constructed one of the softest teams in the league, and then on top of that lost four of their grittiest players in Gus, McCabe, Borgen, and now Cozens, didn't resign another (Johan), and they're also missing their franchise player and captain. This team has been gutted of whatever heart and sould they once had. I mean when someone takes a run at them who's gonna respond? Mitts?

But saying that, they get nothing, and I mean nothing from their coach. When Drury got run Drew Stafford doesn't Challenge Neal if Lindy isn't the head coach. Kruger gives them no identity, they don't play fast, they don't play hard on the puck, and they certainly don't intimidate anyone. Some of these kids have promise and they need a coach that brings an identity...
