GDT: #69 - Stars vs. Sabres at 7 PM ET on MSG-B and WGR

This team without Jack is god awful

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

If skinner ain’t scoring he ain’t worth a damn. Can’t wait to see big head “Cap Wizard” hand him the big bucks.

Yeah, just look at how much Carolina's roster has improved w/o him.....

 

[Tatanka]

Watching the Sabres play w/o Eichel is like watching the Bronco's a couple of years ago w/o Manning.

Not worth the time or energy.

So why do it? It's a long, long off season ......

But but he floats, he doesn’t score every shift, he mopes and he insults bald white guys

 

[Tatanka]

I wish ERod's skill level was equal to his hockey IQ and effort. He's be seriously elite.

Erod does not have high hockey IQ, far from it.

it wasn’t looking good with Jack

 

[DatGuy]

I think he just needs a finisher on his line or some to give him more room. Don’t think Sheary, okposo or even Nylander give him that. Oh well, maybe one day.

 

[Team Cozens]

This is so boring. When are the Amerks on again?

Serious question, would the Amerks beat the Sabres (without Jack) if they played a game tomorrow??

 

[Dubi Doo]

Serious question, would the Amerks best the Sabres (without Jack) if they played a game tomorrow??

Not a chance.

Yes

 

[sabrebuild]

Thanks for saying that clearly.
Don't mind me, I'm just frustrated with the quality of play and the media around it as much as anyone here.

Sure thing. It’s a fine line between being condescending and explaining certain realities that are tough to see on tv.

Tho in general, most scrums are generally meaningless.

But real teams definitely respond more fully than these Sabres do, to much more minor plays.

In all honesty if that Zadorov hit happens to Crosby or Malkin, penguin Scandella goes apeshit on Zadorov regardless of the consequences of he is scratched and shunned by the guys until he proves himself.

Heck rookie Drew Stanford had the guts to go after Chris Fricking Neil. Not because he had a chance, but because everyone on a good team knows they need to trust each other out there.

If I’m Jack, I see the replay and I’m thinking good on my boy Reino and skins. Botts, why is Scandella here if not to throw hands when the franchise gets mugged for the umpteenth time this season.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Don't worry... if Jack says anything publically about his disillusionment, Botts will get rid of him too.

Oh wait!! Don't give Jack any ideas!!

 

[Team Cozens]

Not a chance.

I’m not so sure. Richester doesn’t have to carry Sobotka, Pomer, Larry, Girgs, Tage, Hunwick or Scandella. I suspect Amerks speed work cause them problems.

 

[Ralonzo]

This is some display of early-2000's vintage interference. Yawwwwn.

 

[Dingo44]

Chris Taylor vs Phil Housley? I'll take Taylor.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Not worried... the missing operative there is "old" bald white guys.

"whew"!

It would be an absolute destruction.

I’m assuming whoever agreed with you was just kidding.

But for real, the Amerks would get humiliated.

Yeah not a chance

 

[GellMann]

Dahlin has been largely excellent. But he's been directly responsible for three two-on-ones against since like 4 minutes left in the 2nd period.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Tage no effort to get that loose puck

 

[GellMann]

Erod does not have high hockey IQ, far from it.

ERod's hockey IQ is the only reason his fifth grade body can survive in the NHL, much less pace for almost 40 points.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

I don't get the chance to watch any Sabres practices.

Do the guys actually score in practice?

Or are they practicing how to award shut outs to their goalies?

 

[Fezzy126]

dahlin is really not strong as a trigger man

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Boooooooooooo

 

[stokes84]

Haha Reinhart straight up dribbles out the clock.
