GDT: Game 38: Sabres vs Blues - 12/27 8pm ET (MSG-B, WGR 550)

[CrazyPsycho]

Management has gone on record calling this a building season, Botterill said he plans no buying moves trade deadline.

Man people are gonna be pissed at him when they dont make the playoffs this year

Cause this roster they are icing tonight will not make the playoffs

I personally dont mind cause they arent a Cup caliber team but the large majority are gonna be (probably rightly) upset

 

[JThorne]

I don't know if flying on the same day as a game had anything to do with the rust and effort, but that game deserves a bag skate.

 

[oldgoalie]

Terrible effort all the way around. They came out flying in the first and looked like shit for the remaining two periods.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Looked tired after a strong first period.

Hopefully this helps us get the 11th overall

Just throw them in a cesspool, whilst in a playoff position? Brilliant. Call-ups are hard earned, and peppered into the line-up. If all your guys are sucking, who do you scratch? I see Wilson replacing Elie, and Botts having the tough job of evaluating mediocrity before the deadline.

Tage and Vlad are two in particular that tank every line they are clipped to and make no meaningful hockey plays with any consistency. Every other Sabre forward has something they can hang their hats on. Start with those two.

I cant tell if they are tired or just gave up this looks like the Flyers game again

How the heck can you be tired after 3 days off???

 

[Daz28]

At 4:30 AM why aren't you?

for starters he's not from WNY. lol

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

If you're unhappy about tonight why would you want the team to be a buyer?

 

[Dirty Dog]

Hopefully this helps us get the 11th overall

you better believe it will!

They flew into StL this morning?

 

[GellMann]

Hopefully this helps us get the 11th overall

With our pick?

Cesspool? The Sabres are in a playoff position.

You dont think call ups have been earned? I do.

 

[joshjull]

With our pick?

Sure.....

Is Okposo scoring at a clip you're ok with? Will he help Alex Nylander fill the net beside Mitts??

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

Pathetic

Secondary scoring is a cesspool

Hockey trades only

Garbage hot take the team will still make the playoffs the 1st line wins games by themselves along with two stout goalies.

 

[Beerz]

Correct. So bring in a actual secondary scoring. Not Elie or Sobotka

 

[Uberpecker]

Missouri likes company. Marty didn't like the pun. I thought it was fine.

 

[sabremike]

They flew into StL this morning?

Their flight wasn't even as long as my commuter rail/subway trips to Barclays Center. If that left then exhausted we have real problems.

 

[Beerz]

If you're unhappy about tonight why would you want the team to be a buyer?

Because it would be extremely beneficial to the team and for future team success for this team to make the playoffs

The scenario you're advocating has a 1 line team limping in, with unproven goaltending. I'd love the playoffs, but that's reality

Have you checked the standings lately?
