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

[Slangston]

At this point I'm not even expecting a win, I just want to be entertained. Sadly, this team sucks in that department as well.

 

[DapperCam]

This Sabres team is just like the Dick Jauron Bills. Bend but don't break. Play as low risk and conservative as possible. Keep the game close, and play not to lose.

 

[Sabreality]

teams know they can press the neutral zone hard and they'll get the puck

try that against the Pens hail mary hockey & speed lol

 

[toomuchsauce]

holy christmas this is terrible hockey

 

[WeDislikeEich]

I'm starting to get excited now guys. Only 7 minutes and an intermission left before the Sabres start playing! lol

 

[Moskau]

Turned the game off to listen to it in the background so they should score soon.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

When is this team going to start scoring goals again?

 

[toomuchsauce]

what would it take to get Nick Leddy from the isles?

 

[joshjull]

And a few of us said we would get worse when healthy. This team is much better with Fedun and Guhle in the line-up because they can make a pass... which is kind of what Bylsma's system revolves around.

Disco system revolves around making a pass? I guess others don't then

Those players not playing are also hardly the issue.

 

[Onslow]

This Sabres team is just like the Dick Jauron Bills. Bend but don't break. Play as low risk and conservative as possible. Keep the game close, and play not to lose.

And then lose anyway

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Only 18 hits for the Isles? I thought their scorekeeper called everything a hit!

 

[wunderpanda]

Not watching the game, just following on here-has he maybe just tuned disco out at this point?

I think he is still pouting about the powerplay benching

 

[Onslow]

When is this team going to start scoring goals again?

When Bylsma is gone

 

[tsujimoto74]

Turned the game off to listen to it in the background so they should score soon.

By they, did you mean the Isles? If so, nailed it.

 

[Zip15]

Great effort, Bogo.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Nilsson can't let that one in.

 

[Zip15]

Nilsson has to save that initial shot.

 

[dan213]

I think that's it for me this year. I've had enough of watching this horrific garbage 3 times a week.

 

[wunderpanda]

that was Murray's core that allowed that goal. bogo, sam & ror

 

[Ace]

If Lehner did that we'd hear about it for at least 6 years.

 

[jrb2590]

Bad team, terrible coach

 

[sabresfan129103]

Well I think I can safely turn this one off. I'm sure they'll score with 10 minutes left in the 3rd, they'll press hard for the remainder of the game and it will be a very heroic 2-1 loss.

 

[Moskau]

Disco system revolves around making a pass? I guess others don't then

Those players not playing are also hardly the issue.

No other coach in the league puts as much emphasis on his defensemen being able to make a tape to tape pass to the neutral zone as Bylsma.

 

[Snippit]

This result is a blessing in disguise.

Murray is watching his team fall over and die. DB will be outta here after Christmas.

Then we can see how much of this season we can salvage, because on paper this team is not horrible.

 

[Jame]

If Lehner did that we'd hear about it for at least 6 years.

Lehner does that 17 times a game
