Post-Game Talk (GBU): "We lost to THESE GUYS?!?" -Sharks fans right now

[ZZamboni]

It's McEichel Tripping.

Thanks good sir

 

[EichHart]

10 shots against the Leafs? LOL

 

[Beerz]

So what coaches are out there without a team or some bright new minds out there that can replace these clowns we have?

Rolston would jump ship in Arizona to come back

Good: Nolan's decision to put together such a terrible line-up that even *he* could rationalize giving Reinhart some PP time.

Bad: Nolan's decision to wait so long on healthy scratching useless wings, cuz now he's got too many worthy for some press box time (Moulson, Stewart and Foligno come to mind).

Ugly: Nolan's decision to break-up anything that *is* actually working in order to fix his fixation with Ennis as 1C locked to Moulson.

Scary: Nolan's decision next game which, at best guess, will be to try yet another guy to get Moulson-Ennis going. Scary because at this rate Neuvirth will be playing wing to Moulson-Ennis.

Pathetic: Nolan's decision to presume he should have any word on the line-ups.

Fruity: Nolan's decision to rely on ra-ra-ra "compete" speeches indefinitely, because eventually no amount of ra-ra-ra can make up for how helpless these guys are under the current coaching "style".

Obvious: That I'm off the "give Nolan the benefit of the doubt" fence.

Sane: My decision to start drinking on game nights in the future. I'm a happy drunk, love everyone, so should be able to like Nolan again by morning. Sigh.

Myers did try to do too much but no one else was doing much. He showed great passion and determination and skated well. Some of the pp stuff. Oh most of it was inexplicable!

He's playing good hockey. It's a shame. I'm begging not trade him when his value is low based on stats.

Ted Nolan's game plan is what? Tell me.

Don't guys like Lemaire and Renney have reputations of being able to work with young players effectively?

Renney does but Richardson does as well and is a Murray guy.

Josh Gorges absolutely ripped the Sabres to shreds.

Yeah I bet

 

[Divine]

Ted Nolan has just revealed the Sabres post-game song for the duration of the season...

Yeah I bet

Someone said in the GDT that someone's gotta lead when Gorges was identified as someone who isn't in a position to do so because of unworthy play

Glad to see that him leading is the case

Awesome. I would've loved to hear that.

G:
That sequence when Sammy stripped the puck from a defender off the wall and made a nice move toward the net to get a backhand off.
Sammy getting a FULL minute of powerplay time
B:
Meszaros is going to be the goat for this season.
U:
Shutout 4 times already.

"It doesn’t matter what type of system you play in the world. The two main ingredients is work and effort, and we didn’t have neither"

Yep. A truism for sure ^^.

Another is that no amount of individual work and effort is useful in the void of no system, no strategy, no plan - and seemingly no concept on how to put together a team of individual parts.

Sorry, I haven't started drinking yet so am still not in my happy place and able to "like" everyone, especially Nolan, right now. Maybe later.

Oh, Bill Hoppe has access to the Sabres in closed door post game situations? Or did he hear it through the closed door? Or was there even a closed door to begin with? Gorges "ripped" the team in front of several reporters? I'd like to know these answers. Can this be independently verified?

I'm sure Gorges wasn't whispering.

 

[SundherDome]

Boucher
Stevens



Richardson
Cunneyworth

 

[TossinSauce]

U: 10 shots, everything else.

Sigh, only 72 more

 

[Takeo]

I'm pretending that the shots on goal were miscalculated or else this is truly embarrassing.

That's all great, but the real question is why Nolan was retained as the full-time coach in the first place.

 

[Bps21*]

Because finishing last was the goal.

And it made the mouthbreathers really happy because they all remember hard workin Teddy from the 90s!

 

[Husko]

That's all great, but the real question is why Nolan was retained as the full-time coach in the first place.

Because when you finish in last place by a wide margin an argument can be made that you should fire your coach. Easier to keep Nolan around for that chopping block than to hire our "coach of the future" before enduring this season.

 

[sabresfan129103]

I remember hearing last year that Nolan doesn't have a system, he's a "player's coach". Whatever the hell that means. He relies on his assistants to instill a system. In any case there is obviously no system in place right now and it shows.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

One more ugly: Hurricanes just lost. Again.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

One more ugly: Hurricanes just lost. Again.

Not worried in the least. They're bad; we're worse. All the faith in the world that over the course of 82 games, the standings will reflect as much.

Tank on, brothers and sisters!

G: Myers
Girgensons
Reinhart (loving his play. Send him back to Kootenay and get him far, far away from this tire fire)
Risto
Isles lost

B:
This team.
Nolan. Ready for a new coach when you are, Timmy.
I had to watch the TSN broadcast, and that entire crew was just torpedoing Myers' value as a trade chip and player left and right. I hope we keep him so we can watch him skate the Cup around FNC in a few years and feed them all crow.

U:
Still just October
Leino
Phaneuf
Darren Pang on the Blues' broadcast defending Hull in the crease. Made me want to break something.
