hope some/all the young guys put up some points tonight

 

[Gabrielor]

Wonder if we get destroyed again...

Tank battle, or the tale of two badly run teams

40% of Milan Lucic goals over his past 73 games came from one game against the Sabres.

This makes me sad

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

This makes me sad

I'm sorry.

That stat actually made me laugh, though. All I can do at this point.

 

[Baccus]

Why the hell can't Nelson get into a game? Hunwick needs to join the queue to be fired into the sun.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Sabres 7 (Reed x3, Christie x2, Beebe, Davis)
Oilers 6 (Jeffires x2, Slaughter, Duncan, McDowell, Del Greco)

Sabres 5 (Reed x3, Beebe, Davis)
Oilers 4 (Jeffires, Slaughter, Duncan, McDowell)

Greatest comeback in history?

 

[debaser66]

The could just call up Pilut
Nobody needs Hunwick

 

[OkimLom]

Greatest comeback in history?

As long as there's a goal with an offside that goes unnoticed...

 

[darcyRegier]

Phil is addicted to the Skinner - Eichel - Reinhart line

 

[Royal Thunder]

Why the hell can't Nelson get into a game? Hunwick needs to join the queue to be fired into the sun.

Because he's a righty and they apparently don't trust him to play on the left side.

 

[kirby11]

Nelson had the audacity to not be acquired by Botts, hence he can never play, I guess

[Baccus]

Because he's a righty and they apparently don't trust him to play on the left side.

Housley seems to enjoy putting players in a position to be unable to succeed, so you'd think it would be a shoe-in. Tage is back on the 4th line playing to his strengths again as well....

 

[dortt]

The could just call up Pilut
Nobody needs Hunwick

outright tanking going on

That, or incompetence beyond comprehension

 

[debaser66]

They are obviously not interested in winning.
Keeping Reinhart on the first line...
Keeping Thompson up
Playing Hunwick over Nelson/Pilut

 

[dortt]

or they could play Nelson, who is much better than Hunwick

 

[Jim Bob]

or they could play Nelson, who is much better than Hunwick

They probably don't want Nelson on the left side.

Pretty much every game there are decisions made that make you scratch your head and wonder if they don't care about winning this season or they're incompetent at their jobs.

Pretty much every game there are decisions made that make you scratch your head and wonder if they don't care about winning this season or they're incompetent at their jobs.

It's really the worst I've ever seen. Phil Housley has got to be the dumbest coach we've ever had. I literally hate him.
