GDT: Carolina Hurricanes @ Buffalo Sabres 7PM 11.14.2019

Maybe Skinner can show some sign of life, Normally very good against the Canes.

It's not like Skinner has been a problem at all. He's one of the 3 Sabres consistently scoring (4 if you count Olofosson, I suppose).

I don't think he has been the problem either, just expected more after that contract he got, maybe time to reunite him with Sam and Jack and move Olofsson to Mojo's line when he comes back.

 

[MayDay]

It's now been a full 20 days since the Sabres last won a game.

The hot start feels like ancient history at this point.

 

[Samsonite23]

Reinhart on the 1st line is such a drag on line non-LOG lines. Depressing.

 

[old kummelweck]

Johansson's out.

It's fine. Everything's fine. Don't worry about it. I'm not worried at all.

@joshjull posted that gif a few weeks ago and I must have gone back and watched it 10 times.

 

[Sabre the Win]

It's now been a full 20 days since the Sabres last won a game.

The hot start feels like ancient history at this point.

That is does, I almost completely forgot about the win streak this season. I just look at our roster and hopelessness begins to creep in an overtakes me.

I have no confidence in Sabres hockey at all anymore. I was looking forward to watching hockey since I've only got to watch 1 game in almost 2 weeks but now I'm kind of like "why should I subject myself to this"

 

[Kyndig]

And it's not even the first line.

Scored all 5 of our ES goals the last 2 games.

[Buffaloed]

If they do not show effort, then I will be completely disappointed, I hope the team will go on the ice and will fight for the victory to the end.

I want to see the ice stained red and littered with bones if they don't battle hard. That's right, they should be pelted with Buffalo wings.

 

[SundherDome]

Give me a reason to care again

 

[Vito_81]

Carolina’s played 1 good game in their last handful and it was against Ottawa... the game after they lost to Ottawa

4-3 Buffalo in OT

 

[OkimLom]

It's now been a full 20 days since the Sabres last won a game.

The hot start feels like ancient history at this point.

And in those 20 days, we've played 6 games.

 

[OkimLom]

It's not like Skinner has been a problem at all. He's one of the 3 Sabres consistently scoring (4 if you count Olofosson, I suppose).

3 goals in 10 games isn't exactly consistent

 

[Panthaz89]

Scored all 5 of our ES goals the last 2 games.

the funny part is people still talking up LOG line as if its some juggernaut but you can't win games if you don't score a goal which they rarely ever do.

 

[Thorton02]

And in those 20 days, we've played 6 games.

Jesus, we lost 6 games in a row?

 

[TheStorm]

Not bothering watching this game but I expect 2 goals in the game from the Sabres max. Mayble they'll prove me wrong.

 

[TheStorm]

That is does, I almost completely forgot about the win streak this season. I just look at our roster and hopelessness begins to creep in an overtakes me.

I have no confidence in Sabres hockey at all anymore. I was looking forward to watching hockey since I've only got to watch 1 game in almost 2 weeks but now I'm kind of like "why should I subject myself to this"

I'm at the same point as you are

 

[K8fool]

Eichs had enough, going hatty tonight with Skinner potting some stuff based off our new revived 2C taking over.

Optimistic..you stand alone..nice..

 

[OkimLom]

Jesus, we lost 6 games in a row?

If we're counting the Detroit game and not factoring the unknown of Carolina, then we are 1-4-1. If not, then we are 0-4-1.

From: 10/25 to 11/13, We've played: Detroit W, Arizona SOL, Washington L, NYI L, Tampa L, Tampa L.

 

[OkimLom]

the funny part is people still talking up LOG line as if its some juggernaut but you can't win games if you don't score a goal which they rarely ever do.

Larsson: 1 goal
Girgensons: 1 goal
Okposo: 1 goal

The 2012-13 Oilers had losing streaks but they never went full Housley. Never underestimate the power of the Krueger.
2012-13 Edmonton Oilers Schedule and Results | Hockey-Reference.com

The Sabres have lost five straight games and have fallen to 14th in the NHL with a points percentage of .588. If you’re looking at the playoff race, Buffalo is two behind. Many feel this season is just like last season, Ralph Krueger disagrees, “I’m a new head coach here this year and last year doesn’t interest me at all. What does interest me is we’re building a new story here and this is a completely different season with a different group of guys with a huge buy-in here and a healthy base of confidence and I don’t feel anything but that.”
Sabres' Johansson is out through the weekend.

the funny part is people still talking up LOG line as if its some juggernaut but you can't win games if you don't score a goal which they rarely ever do.

If an NBA player holds LeBron to 10 points but only scores 10 himself is that bad? The LOG line's value is to negate the other team's big guns from doing anything and tiring the other team out. Getting goals would be a bonus.

 

[Jim Carr's Rug]

How am I already burnt out on this team 17 games in?

 

[Sabre the Win]

How am I already burnt out on this team 17 games in?

Because it's the same shit different toilet.

 

[sabremike]

Going to the Ticats game this Sunday reminded me of an old joke: The reason Hamilton doesn't have an NHL team is because if they got one Buffalo would want one as well.
