Post-Game Talk (GBU): Sabres at Blackhawks GDT (7 PM ET)

[Kyndig]

Cmon miracle comeback time!

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Taylor was in Rochester that implemented something completely different

No he didn't Roch was running Housleys stuff

 

[joshjull]

ERod gets too much guff around here he at least tries to get to the net

He’s generally played well the last couple games but does some really dumb things to negative some of the positive.

 

[jc17]

Cmon miracle comeback time!

I'd settle for 4-3

 

[Buffaloed]

If we can score here we're only down by 2, and they if we can score another... a lucky bounce here or there and you never know

 

[valet]

I can't take another year like last year. I think I'm done, because this is just not worth the frustration. The Sabres have finally broken my spirit. See you guys again if we ever get decent.

I'm kind of getting a sadistic sense of pleasure from watching them fail so bad

Yeah he thinks hes Eichel alot of times, keep it simple

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Poor Jack.

You wonder if regrets the eight year deal. He'd be half way to Boston now, if he signed shorter term.

 

[Kyndig]

Would be nice if we could win a damn faceoff.

 

[Moskau]

so? they are playing in their house...

Both teams had to travel back to Chicago. Like holy shit, make some more excuses. This game should have been expected because one team is terrible not because of the schedule.

 

[Ralonzo]

Hahaha that breakaway was just Saad.

Think Botts would trade Reinhart straight-up for that goof?

 

[slip]

Yup, just let the Hawks hack away at your goalie.

Freakin wuss bags.

 

[joshjull]

Has Tage played much, if at all in the 3rd?

Boom

Weird its like the Sabres don't often play on that ice...unless i'm mistaken also they won 7-2 lmao their stars didn't have to play a lot.

The Sabres got whiplash from watching Jack score 4. Can't be effective with a stiff neck.

 

[Kyndig]

Definition of insanity is...etcetcetc

 

[CrazyPsycho]

2 shifts for 1:10

 

[valet]

I honestly haven't seen tt or asplund since Midway through the 2nd

Edit: NVM, there's asplund

 

[Panthaz89]

Is there a Blackhawk cheating down the ice on every play?

 

[Havok89]

Weird its like the Sabres don't often play on that ice...unless i'm mistaken also they won 7-2 lmao their stars didn't have to play a lot.

I feel like this is a troll, lol

Agree to disagree. Botterill is getting another year of eval before I write him off. He’s trending in the direction of sitting on his hands to much and not putting a team together. Next year he gets a ton of cap space and much of the garbage is gone off the roster.
And there’s the 4th goal. The route is on and no one cares

Good luck. He's trash and banking on players taking discounts to come to Buffalo to fill in all of those expiring contracts is a fool's errand. We just saw them hand Skinner $9 million and that was the "hometown team".

And the point remains - most of the garbage is his. Over and over again, they are players he has drafted, signed, or traded for who are the biggest failures in the forward roster. His goaltending evaluation is shitty. He does not have a good starter. He has 1... ONE good offensive prospect who isn't shrouded in questions and he has had four drafts to fill the supposedly empty pipeline and yet continues to punt to defensive-minded players or big guys without skills.... ALL THE WHILE squandering draft picks in dumb-ass draft-day trades instead of taking big swings at high-risk/high-reward players at points like... in the 2nd round or later. More picks are better than less and he just spent multiple picks moving up for non-bluechip prospects. This is after punting a 6th rounder for no tactical or strategic advantage in a previous draft. Or taking mostly low-event, low-scoring but big defensemen in a draft when the trend in the league is toward speed and skill.

He's behind in the analytics from what we see on the ice every night AND in their drafting.

He's a buffoon. He should be removed before he can do any further damage to the personnel pool he has, meager as it is.

 

[OkimLom]

No he didn't Roch was running Housleys stuff

there was NOTHING similar between the two teams. It the way they attacked forechecking, backchecking, transitioning, support.

If it was Housley’s stuff, the Phil himself did a horrible job of understanding how to implement his own stuff

 

[Ralonzo]

Shake the team up, trade Scandella for Calvin de Haha

 

[Chainshot]

I'm out.

Good night all.
