[Dirty Dog]

Still suck

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Sorry but Phil Housley =

 

[SundherDome]

U: I convinced myself after the last game that they can still get back in this thing. Tonight, I just don't care, they don't care, Botts doesn't care. I'll watch when there is nothing better on but this team is somehow worse than last years.

 

[truthbluth]

Looks like we’re headed for 6th consecutive top 10 pick. This’ll be the one that turns it around. I can feel it.

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

Sorry but Phil Housley =

At least RonRon got really angry in some of his press conferences

 

[Onslow]

I thought they played well enough to win. They played well enough to win against the rags too. They’re snakebitten and can’t score against bottom tier goalies right now.















Oh, and fire Phil please.

B
Jack's body language throughout the game
No one goes to the net
Everyone plays on the perimeter
Housley, our GM, our Development staff, our Owner, our Captain, our Players

Yeah, it's pretty bad right now. Playoff race ends in February for us.

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

Stick a fork in this season. We’re done. I guess see how we do next year?


I am tired of watching my team lose.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

If Housley is the coach of this next year I am not sure I can continue. Its so painful.

The U in this is when the clowns in charge sell your last sentence as progress

Another U: Hutton's 3rd goal against, he ducked and wasn't looking at Palmieri

 

[GellMann]

The team knows just as much as we do that the hope was probably dashed at 3-3-1 in that homestand.

When teams know they're shot and the initial slinking shoulders haven't worn out yet, they play games like this. It's universal among those ~17th-23rd place teams every year.

Let's see if we paint the efforts this phenomenon induces as a "continuation of fundamental locker room issues that will dog these specific players forever" or if we've learned from last season. I don't think I can take another offseason where more discussion is spent on parsing out-of-context quotes than on watching, re-watching, and thinking about the actual things that happen on the ice.

I'm frustrated that I'm not confident the actual front office is even going to do this

 

[Ralonzo]

G: I liked Mittelstadt and Reinhart

B: Pilut defensively and Hutton can't give up that 3rd goal

U:

 

[Zip15]

Looks like we’re headed for 6th consecutive top 10 pick. This’ll be the one that turns it around. I can feel it.

Don’t forget picks 22 and 28!

-watching that gabriel dude laugh his ass off at Bogo in pregame, knowing full well he wont have to answer to anyone

 

[Zip15]

You have to give them credit. It’s not easy to go from first overall in the league after Game 25 to “pretty much assured to miss the playoffs” by Game 60. We should get a banner for that or something.

Missed that, what happened?

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Bogo just gave the death glare to some reporter

 

[Tyler2829]

Bogo just gave the death glare to some reporter

Pretty sure it was Harrington

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Missed that, what happened?

They banged into each other at center ice during warmups, Bogo was going crazy slashing him, bumping him, the other dude just laughed at him

G:
Suckbot- Suckbutt- Sorry, Sobotka looked better than normal in the period and a half I caught.

B/U: Everything else.

[MOGlLNY]

Kings fan but live in Buffalo and follow the Sabres. Have to say, over these years it's always been finger pointing at the coach but with Housley I really do think he is the problem.

The quick goals allowed after scoring one, the inability to string together 2 wins and the defensive zone breakdowns. Gotta put it on the coach, but obviously the roster needs work as well.

I think you should can him, but at the same time what great coaching candidate is going to want to come to an organization that has had a revolving door of coaches the last few years? The guy can only assume he's going to have a 2 year shelf life. It's a tough situation.

 

[LongWayDown37]

That game sucked.

 

[Kublakhan]

This team sucks..
