Donnie’s last road trip

Beating this drum after tonight’s game is certainly a choice.

Moral victories are for losers

 

[Gabrielor]

The last two games I agree, sure they get my vitriol.

But I'll stand up for them every single time they lose a game like this.

Sorry man, but I think too many people can't compartmentalize the season and individual games for what they are and decide to carry around the last 20 years of jaded fandom. This was a good game and entertaining as hell, and those guys left it all on the ice. I got nothing but respect for them tonight.

Now, I'm off to drink some bourbon while I mutter profanities at NHL referees. All of them...

I can't be objective about much right now. It's felt like 15 years of a waste of time caring.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Anyone heard from Adams lately? @Ace ? Bueller? Anyone?

Not expecting him to make any season-saving moves, but an honest assessment of where the team is at and where they're headed would be appropriate given their record thus far.

 

[joshjull]

I need a win

Coulda shoulda woulda had a better result. Yet here we are. Again.

I'm not giving up on this season, but it's been frustrating as hell.

Analytics match the eyes, Dahlin with a stupid good game

He should get the C. after this season, He is the engine on this team and drives up the energy of the rest of the guys when he is up to it. sadly has too many off nights this season in particular. The captaincy gives him more responsibility and no place to hide.

 

[joshjull]

I think I’d be in bankruptcy court if I was a NHL coach. I would be ranting about the officials in every post game.

 

[sabremike]

Only the team is anywhere near .500 was a huge amount of luck that saw several wins in games we had no business winning. If they played this way in the prior 16 games they wouldn't be near the bottom of the standings right now.

 

[Ace]

I’m fine with him letting Granato sink as long as they move on from him In the end.

That fact that there has been no attempt to change the PP is damning and should be enough at this point.

even that is too much change for them. There is no organizational standard. So there is no pressure on anyone.

They can’t even pick two goalies. How are they going to handle anything?

 

[EichHart]

We deserved to win that one.

 

[joshjull]

Maybe crack open a dictionary, look up the words regression and massive. Then go look up us having pretty much the same record as last season at this point.

Ignorance should not be bliss.

 

[Ehran]

We boycotting GBU threads until this team wins again?

I mean, we'll be saving a lot of space on HF board's servers that way for sure.

 

[Macbanan]

They played an excellent game and lost. That's how it goes sometimes.

 

[joshjull]

In life, couldn't be better.

In terms of the Sabres, as miserable as I've ever been. -1/10. Feels hopeless. No playoffs. No plan. Nothing working. All the hyperboles. True or not. They can't win hockey games, and when they do, it's not fun to watch right now.

That’s good to hear.

Thinking that's a "no".

I hope Kreuger haunts Skinner's dreams tonight after this performance. Too many dumb offensive plays to count. Keep it simple, bro.

I'm happy to reduce wear and tear on @Chainshot . It's probably going to be a loooong, annoying season.

We can still squawk in here. Make a GBU post if you like.

Refs obviously feared for the lives of the 3 Jets, tangling with noted veteran NHL tough guy Benson.

 

[Gabrielor]

That’s good to hear.

Thanks. Sadly here, in puck land, it feels like the car still hasn't started yet.

Well put.

He needs to stay in his lane as a chaos agent who shoots first and from almost anywhere. He doesn’t need to keep trying to show he can be a passer too. Once in a while is ok but not more.

Donnie’s last road trip

I was going to post something similar.

At what point does Adams make a coaching change.
I'm tired of the "we don't have the roster" argument.
This team has loads of talent.

At a certain point you have to think the team needs a change in philosophy.

 

[joshjull]

Thanks. Sadly here, in puck land, it feels like the car still hasn't started yet.

I hear you. The 3rd period is the team I expected all season. Or at least for most of it.

 

[deVolt]

This team is reactive instead of active, up's the energy when they are behind a couple of goals. when was the last time they started on the front foot. Just like the GM and the coach.
