GDT: Carolina Hurricanes @ Buffalo Sabres 7PM 11.14.2019

[Sansbacon]

My soon to be 15 year old came out of his room to ask who I think they draft in the 6-8 range this year.

I’m laughing, but the thought of still hearing that 15 years from now makes me want to

 

[HockeyH3aven]

Hey HH!

Hey Chain, long time no see.

It's about that time of year where I try to care about this team again, boy do they make it difficult

 

[Sabre the Win]

Man Lazar sparked the Sabres at the end there.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Take your dreams to the appropriate thread.

Hey, I thought that fit right in with the Jack negativity being posted on this thread...!

I still think he's pretty good but agree that he hasn't had the best coaching. Ralph needs to hold all of his players accountable. That's leadership. (Ralph says he says so in his book!)

 

[Fjordy]

Lazar > Sobotka and Vesey

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

He is definitely a Sabres fan groomed on this current era

Ahhhhh.. so that's my problem! Groomed in the wrong era.... way way back when we used to have winning seasons.........

 

[Ginger Papa]

Hi again from the fellow 1970 franchise. I just cannot believe that a Ralph K coached team with Jack, Sam & Rasmus with even league average goaltending will miss the playoffs. I’m keeping the faith.

Cheers from the West Coast

 

[Chainshot]

I guess we’ll be looking for another one soon?

President of Hockey Operations first. Then GM, then coach.

 

[Chainshot]

Under Weight every player was making mental mistakes and dumb plays constantly. You don't see anyone on the Isles do that very often these days despite the roster being nearly identical. There's a reason for that.

Yep. And I said at them time, fire Phil, hire Trotz. But noooo...

 

[Buffaloed]

I think Remi Elie was supposed to be like Lazar last year

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Vesey with 0 corsi for thru 2 periods in over 7 min of 5v5, thats.....something

 

[Chainshot]

Vesey needs to be shot out of a canon into the sun. Never to be seen again.

The sun might send him back.

 

[Chainshot]

I think Remi Elie was supposed to be like Lazar last year

Except he was closer to Jordan Nolan.

 

[Chainshot]

I have this recurring horror dream that Eichel ends up in Boston traded for some Bruin cast offs.... And helps them win the Stanley Cup.....

Oh excuse me, that was O'Reilly........ deja vu is a *****...........

I have the expectation that he is going to be the LaFontaine in the LaFontaine for Turgeon trade this team winds up making.

 

[sabremike]

Yep. And I said at them time, fire Phil, hire Trotz. But noooo...

You have no idea how awful I am going to feel when it eventually comes out Botts didn't even attempt to land Sheldon Keefe because he had his heart set on Ralph all along.

 

[joshjull]

A lot of the reason they were wasted was because Murray bought into the idea that Eichel could change a franchise around and carry a team. He even said he wasn't going to waste years of Eichel's development after drafting him. I think Murray was always going to be a gambler but I don't believe he wastes nearly as many assets if Eichel had half the hype he did. If Eichel was drafted 4th overall and was going to be sent back to Junior/College I think Murray would have been much more patient. He probably doesn't even make the Kane trade in preparation to finish last.

Murray in simplest terms was a moron in way over his head.

If Jack was 4th overall it would have meant we didn’t try to completely and utterly gut the roster to bottom out. Murray’s idiocy was well in motion before he ended up with Jack.
Or to put it another way what happened was what Murray planned not a reaction to getting one of the top 2 picks.

Relax, I'm sure worse stuff will come out.

 

[Intermission]

I wish one of the coaches would let the Sabres know the 3rd period has started.

 

[old kummelweck]

Aho's ownership of Eichel is going to be a long-term problem.

 

[Buffaloed]

Aho with the Eicho shot

 

[Panthaz89]

Jack should stop going 2 MPH down the ice as if he's not fast skater hasn't shown a sign of speed in forever.

 

[Chainshot]

Hey Chain, long time no see.

It's about that time of year where I try to care about this team again, boy do they make it difficult

I'm just about done with them.

Good to see you. Hope they reward you for putting in the time.

 

[Chainshot]

Hit the net, come on.

 

[joshjull]

It’s seems much harder to hit the net than I realized.

Did they put repellent on the puck?
