It doesn't make sense that these guys are that much worse than the team was two years ago. I think the teams playing the Sabres are playing differently than they do against other teams. The Sabres are bad, but the teams they are playing are so aggressive on the forecheck. They don't give any Sabre any respect. I've never seen anything like it. Is it some fundamental flaw in Ted's "system", or is it that opposing teams are just so crazy confident that they don't bother to ever play safe? Either way, anybody playing the Sabres right now is looking to get well, and these chumps are doing little to dissuade them.
I guess I'm not sure what this thread is about. Am I the only one seeing it? Teams aren't just better than the Sabres, they're kind of bullying them. I hate to use the word Bully because it has such a victim culture connotation to it, but I don't know what else to call it. It's what teams do when they expect to win. Dynasty teams play like this against everybody. Everybody playing the Sabres plays with no fear and no mercy. I'm not complaining exactly. I guess I think that until the Sabres stand up to a few teams and punch them in the mouth (figuratively, by scoring goals), this 'bullying' won't stop. And I don't give a rats ass about McTankel. Just show me a winner.
