GDT: #33 – Sabres at Islanders – Fri Dec 23, 7:00PM ET – MSG-B

Can Buffalo score more than a goal today? Or perhaps look like they're trying for more than 1 period?

Yes, it would be nice if they could bring their third period performances into the start of the first period.

 

[Wisent42]

If there is a fight someone MUST sweep the leg!

 

[Snippit]

We may be better off getting humiliated today.

The last game before the holidays can greatly influence GMTM's opinion of how DB is handling this team.

 

[Revelate]

I'm at the point where I want us to get humiliated.

If that's what it takes to get Bylsma out of here sooner than later, I'll accept. I'm sick of watching the Sabres play **** hockey.

 

[hizzoner]

Like we have not been humiliated enough? I am getting to the stage where playing Sorry with my grandchildren is more titillating than Sabres games. Talking to my Leaf fan inlaws at Christmas dinner will be the topper for me.

Bylsma isn't going anywhere this year. The Sooner it's accepted the better. Since Murray has been GM several rumors have been leaked that never occurred with Darcy at the helm. So what I'm saying there would be rumblings if Bylsma on the hot seat. There hasn't been a word about his job security.

4-1 Isles.

 

[Aladyyn]

There WERE rumblings that Bylsma is on the hot seat...

Friedman reported it in 30 thoughts a couple weeks ago or so.

Link?

 

[Montag DP]

I may catch some of the game, but I doubt I will watch the whole thing unless we get off to a really good start. It's just not worth it to spend my time watching a team play an extremely boring, frustrating brand of hockey only to lose in the end.

 

[Aladyyn]

Link?

Looks like I was wrong/misremembering. It was not Friedman.

The rumor was there tho http://www.ottawasun.com/2016/12/03...anthers-gm-hopes-coaching-shakeup-sparks-team

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Yeah it was Bruce Garrioch. Who is Eklund level credible.

 

[Gras]

So the Isles are honoring the villain from Karate Kid.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Im wondering why people think Bylsma gets the entire year? They didn't sign Okposo and trade for Kulikov to watch the playoffs on their couch.

Because at this point you're likely replacing him from within which means the same system will remain intact. The team may get a small boost and win a few games in a row but ultimately it will be the same terrible ES and PK team that relies on getting PP games to squeak into OT to pick up points.

I'm going to say no and no.

Gotta keep 15 and 90 apart so we can keep the lineup balanced since it's working so well.

 

[Sabreality]

haha Bylsma cant help himself. They were good together last game for those few shifts, but I'd prefer he just sprinkles Kane in there to see if it works again vs starting with it.

 

[AustonsNostrils]

feel like i'm at the breaking point for caring what happens until something fairly big goes down.

some Eichel dominance would help pick up the spirits. really don't care what most of the others do, most need to be cleared out of here.

All he had to do was put Girgensons with Eichel.

 

[Aladyyn]

Swap 2 players and the lines go from ridiculous to pretty good.

I know. I don't get this.

Eichel - ROR - Okposo
Kane - Reinhart - Foligno

Bylsma keeps trying the same stuff expecting a different result.
