GDT: BOS @ BUF 7pm TV:MSG Radio:WGR - 1000 games for Dad

[BFLO]

Yeah it’s all Kyle Okposo’s fault. You sure have hit it directly on the head there.

If the team sucks enough to play Okposo for 500 games, it’s a really, really bad team.

For better or worse, that game takes us out of the PKane sweepstakes

If true, better.

Or this game prompted Adams to up his offer to Kane by another $2mil aav, add on another 2 years to the length and a full NMC.

on the bright side…the sooner the pressure is off the sooner they’ll play well enough to convince themselves to stay the course

wait…that’s not the bright side. That’s the every year side.

This city is cursed, bring in the Shaman!

 

[DapperCam]

We do not have the depth to sustain these injuries. It's so over.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Look on the brightside, lots of premium defensive talent slated for the top 10 this draft

I knew there was a silver lining. Good 3 periods by the Buffalo Sabres.

 

[Mattilaus]

At least this means my evenings are free for the foreseeable future.

You seriously think they won't take another undersized skilled forward?

 

[OkimLom]

Before this season, and most of his contract, Okposo changed his game and became an effective 4th liner.

How are we discounting what this player has done for this team just because the team sucked tonight? My God get a f***ing grip.

What exactly has he done for this organization? He did nothing special for the organization besides what any other veteran would be tasked to do. He was on a long term contract that had a limitation on where he can go with stupid high cap hit for his piss poor production. Congrats he was one of two guys willing to eat the s*** sandwich Sabres management would sell to the fans for years during the rebuilds.

I mean he nearly died for it too.

His choice at a time he should’ve walked away far beyond that point. I don’t look at said “sacrifice” as something noble. It’s freaking hockey. It’s a game. Instead he decided to be selfish and put his life on the line risking his potential future time away from the family.

Fortunately there really aren't any undersized forwards slated top 10

I get the anger and frustration, but you might want to take a minute to breathe before you post something really bad.

 

[toomuchsauce]

sabres are bad. mattias samuelsson is bad, erik johnson is bad. owen powers is good but is on the ice for 4 goals against every game. devon levi is bad. ryan johonson is good. make of it what you will, idk

As a human I’m glad he was able to extend his life further and still be here for his family. As someone that tries to look at the reality of things, I think it was illogical of him to continue to play or get to the point where he became ill. The game of hockey, and businesses within the hockey are not worth anybody’s life being impacted where your life becomes fatal.

Nothing in sports fandom in general, nothing in the game of hockey, is so righteous or special where one should be celebrated for “sacrificing their health” for a stupid little sport.

 

[sabremike]

Going to sum up everything in two words:

Coaching matters.

Owen Power is not good lol

The part that boggles my mind is why have Thompson out there blocking shots during an obviously lost game? After he got cut, they should have shut him down for the night.

There are plenty of other rubber-eaters on this team.
