GDT: Columbus @ Sabres 5PM EST TV:MSG Radio:WGR550 Coach:Appert

[Dubi Doo]

Poorly coached, poorly drilled, poorly prepared and 20 minutes away from being the worst team in the East. I honestly think these guys would lose to the Garden Gloves Sabres.

At this point, I'm rooting for losses so he gets fired. If this team has even a slight pulse to end the year, I think Adams will buy into the injury excuse and give Granato another year.

It doesn’t even feel like They are even getting goalied. They have a handful of bouncy chances, but outside Quinn, none of their shots feel dangerous.

Yeah I don't think the goalie is stealing the game or anything but they've definitely been the better of the two teams. But no such thing as morale victories against the worst team in your conference on a back to back. That and they've already burned all their morale victories this year.

 

[Tatanka]

Agree with Marty - keep doing what they're doing. Things will start to go in.

The last three games the Quinn line and Benson line has consistently been below the puck. It will pay off if they stick with it.

 

[Ehran]

Kind of ready for the Skinner buyout. $2.4m per year for the next 6 years if we do it this summer, ouch.

Still though, I can’t imagine a winning team with him on the top line and PP1.

If it was only that.....

 

[OkimLom]

I don't get this thing that Terry doesn't care about the Sabres.

We are f***ed because Terry has his claws in everything the Sabres do because he cares so much. It's literally the opposite. Nobody credible wants to work for the Sabres for this exact reason. It's the reason Drury didn't want the job (allegedly).


Doing the same thing he does most nights lol

Cares about what though? Is it the brand and business of the Buffalo Sabres, or is it the competitive level of the Buffalo Sabres. Which drives him? Because recent decisions point me to which direction.

 

[Tatanka]

Help us Obi ERob you’re our only hope!

I truly believe he wants the team to do well and overrules because he thinks he knows best and likes to use the team as his toy. But he needs to realize that he's the common denominator in all of this. Aquilini-esque

Through sports, he makes plenty of money from the Bills and has bled enough money via the Sabres that I don't think that's his focus.

 

[sabremike]

Are you just stat watching tonight or can you look at them doing what they've done to carry play for 40 minutes and just wheel that out?

I'm watching this and see that Columbus looks like the Elmira River Sharks yet somehow we are losing to them.

Aquilini though seems to have had his Beane moment with the Allvin hire and now Tocchet as HC.

Now, let's shuffle back to the game discussion.

100% doable

100% needs to be done. End of the fun to be here era. Onto the play the right way era

Savoie at under a million in his spot for the three bad years

2.4 for 3 after that is definitely workable

 

[Ehran]

6.4m cap hit in 26-27 woof

Yeah, even if you wait a year or even two you're still going to see at least one year of very high cap hit.

 

[Jimmybarndoor2]

Please please win this game please.

 

[Chainshot]

The Sabres haven't appeared ill-prepared or poorly drilled tonight at all tonight. I get being pissed that they're skating through the Jackets and aren't winning because of a couple stupid plays from their new 10 million dollar man but the take that tonight is due to any of those things is beyond a stretch.

 

[toddkaz]

This is one of those games where next goal wins. Has that feeling

No one wants the puck or what?

 

[BB79]

This is one of those games where next goal wins. Has that feeling

It feels like they're going to outshoot Columbus 50-22 yet lose 4-1

 

[Chainshot]

Benson goes in 1-on-3 and still partially disrupts the Jackets' breakout.

 

[Chainshot]

Hey, good contact and body position by Power to get that clear.

 

[Tatanka]

Hey Power did a d thing

Hey Power did a d thing

 

[MOGlLNY]

Come on Benny. Feels like the kid is gonna get one

 

[toddkaz]

Peterka taking over for Olofsson in the defensive zone.

Someone teach this kid to take the body

 

[Tatanka]

Hey, good contact and body position by Power to get that clear.

It is a shame that we both felt the need to post that

 

[Willgamesh]

All the head hanging and eyes to the sky is so f***ing tiresome.

IKR? It was something he's done a couple times in the last few. Maybe the penny is dropping... slowly.
