Rooting For the Tank Part 2019

[Reddawg]

5th I believe is highest while still being realistic. It can’t be understated just how terrible this team really is.

Lottery wins happen! Winnipeg moved up from 6th overall to win Patrik Laine.

 

[Tatanka]

Maybe it could bring back the Buffalo?

Tatanka!

 

[Havok89]

Lottery wins happen! Winnipeg moved up from 6th overall to win Patrik Laine.

I guess another top 3 pick could temporarily soften the sting of this season.

I'm never rooting for them to loose again.....where they end up, they end up.

Jim Carr is right....we need to build the organization from bottom to top. Unfortunately, that takes time. I like the improvement from the farm this year, and that he really let most of them stay down and gel. Plus, they stayed away from the loosing here. Yes, some could of out-preformed some of the players on this years roster but we were not in it to win it this year.

There has been some glimmer of hope from some of the youngins this year in development....We just need to get rid of the dead weight, add some "juice" and get a head coach who has authority, respect and a game plan to put these young guys in a position to succeed. Just the intensity level of our players makes me want to Sh** can Housely.

I believe all the years of barely missing the playoffs in the early 2010s and the garbage we got in the first rounds of those drafts hurt us a lot. I'm comfortable with rooting for the team to lose in games I'm not watching. And the number of games I watch falls off a lot later in the season/after we're eliminated.

Go Stars

Lose for Hughes and to get Housley fired.

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

How good even IS Jack Hughes?

Not good enough to get more minutes than Sobotka.

 

[Tatanka]

Can’t do it. Win let the chips fall where they may.

 

[Willgamesh]

Compare our recent 8ths vs our 1st n 2nds we clearly still need way more talent in our top 6. Hopefully we move into a lotto pick.

Barzal was 16, Pasta 25...if it is a decent draft it is up to your scouts to find talent.

Our. Not that its impossible to hit on higher draft picks.

2019 Mini Tank

 

[Selanne00008]

def on board the tank. chips fall where they may is so meh.
The team as we speak is laying down, so there's your chips. A solid 3 points out of 6-7 games would do the tank well here.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Big loss...

Pens are desperate, they will thrash us

 

[Ace]

I will root for a loss every game until this coach is gone.

 

[Snippit]

Tied for 7th last!

Tur-cotte on

 

[darcyRegier]

I will root for a loss every game until this coach is gone.

It really could be a win-win situation, no Housley + a top 5 pick

 

[Ace]

2 wins in the last 13. I fear rooting for it may ruin an already good thing.

Take out the complete anomaly of the 10 game win streak and average our points over the 69 gp we’d have 57 points. Last year we finished with 62. How pathetic.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

We're back to a 3 - 4 years blue print. There's too much dead weight.
Frankly, I think our drafting is craptastic. That's a big, big part of the problem.

Throw back to when our best prospects were Grigorenko, Armia, Compher, Bailey, Baptiste, Fasching...

We got nothing to show for it.

 

[EmeraldCitySabre]

The fact that we're actually talking about tanking AGAIN is absolutely ridiculous and I think its time for a Sabres vacation, a long one, this team is hopeless and its time for me to step away for awhile.
