GDT: Buffalo Sabres @ New Jersey Devils- Sun Feb 17 6:00PM

[CatsforReinhart]

At least we got half a season this year.

Last year we didn't have any hope....well hope for 1st overall.

 

[Ace]

You can’t lose 10 to f***ing 3 to the Rangers and Devils backups at this point in your season and keep this job.

Sorry. Go away. If Botterill won’t do it get him out to.

Enough

 

[CrazyPsycho]

This is the season lowpoint for me, really felt like an effort from a previous season

 

[tt77]

eichel easily played one of his worst games of the season

 

[CrankyJay]

The cherry on top of this poop sundae of a season will be when Skinner walks.

 

[debaser66]

Pathetic

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Now taking suggestions for cathartically destructive behaviors that can be used as coping mechanisms.

It reminds me of Rolston its that bad. Nice gloves.

 

[Tatre]

I just don't understand why it was this bad

 

[Fearnot]

This org loves it's useless has-been vets, when are we signing Vanek and Stafford for out big off-season moves?

 

[TheStorm]

Pegula is insane if he doesn't fire Housley at this point.

 

[stokes84]

When a team regresses like this, there is only one person you can look at. This coach has to go.

 

[Buttons85]

I really think this might have been the last game I watch this season. Housley is way, way in over his head.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

When can we start making playoff avatars?

This is what worries me....that Skinner might not want to stay

 

[PatrikBerglund]

2024.

 

[GellMann]

Sorry, I am not you. I can judge what is good and what isn't. I have watched hockey a while.

Then explain to me what's good about a roster whose 2C by minutes-played is on a 45 game goal-less streak and is pacing for 15 points, with the depth behind that pacing for about 25? Why the worst center depth in the league, and likely in team history, should have a better record than they do?

Phil makes mind-numbing decisions, but over a full season your record is an EXCELLENT proxy for how much talent your organization has, and we didn't start with much in 2017 and have been consistently hemorrhaging it. I'm fine with switching coaches but that will do nothing without a concerted effort this offseason focusing on talent and not BS locker room nonsense.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

I’m honestly worried that Skinner will say f*** this and leave

 

[Tyler2829]

When can we start making playoff avatars?

2023

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Wow! Just efing wow!

EN short handed goal? Can't get more embarrassing than that!

And we still have to play TBL on this trip and TML when they return home...

No way Phil gets these guys up for those games..... Botts, wake up. It's OVER!!

 

[CatsforReinhart]

What will the coach and management clowns say?

We had some good chances? Maybe next time? Wow.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Phil is lucky this game wasn't in Buffalo.

 

[Not Sure]

If Housley isnt fired after this game I'm probably done for the season. Schneider has won what, like 1 other games in over a year, and he holds us to 1 goal. This is so far beyond repair, they need to dump everyone and try again. Trade away whatever picks you need to get rid of bad players with term, I just dont care anymore, we are a joke.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

When can we start making playoff avatars?

Year 750 of Skinner's 8 million year contract.

 

[Tatre]

I have to wonder what coach says- are they not listening, not executing, or no gameplan works?

 

[GellMann]

When a team regresses like this, there is only one person you can look at. This coach has to go.

The only thing that regressed from the 10 games we had fun is Hutton's .960 save percentage. They've been a relatively consistent hockey team, as far as in-game hockey stuff between the goals goes.

Good coaches get mediocre teams into the playoffs.
