GDT: Expansion Brothers Afternoon Tilt: Vancouver Canucks at Buffalo Sabres, 3:00 EST; MSG, Sportsnet

Our PP needs work and adjustments

 

[5 Minute Major]

we havent wonn against any good team this season .

I stopped right there. Just a totally moronic post.

 

[SundherDome]

Well, not exactly, some other teams regularly make it to the playoffs.

That doesn't seem relevant to what you originally stated "tough schedule and no margin for error". Right now there are only 4 teams, in the league, that are more than 5 points out of the playoffs. Everybody has a tough schedule and a thing margin of error.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Something is missing, cant you see this ? Sabres is handing away W . 1-1 goal was just sloppiness. Vancouver wasnt that great Either But sabres just is missing something. Vancouver goalie was very good . Louk need to take the next step soon

We dont have any Miller or hasek that saves us , so the players need to step up

They are lacking a 2C or top 6 forward.

Time to change some personnel.

No, I also said about experience, we don't have it. Also about the safety margin of this team. We are not favorites in the playoffs, almost always.

 

[Sabre the Win]

They have officially changed the goal to Tuch which is what I thought.

I thought it bounced off his shoulder.

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

f*** Cozens then. /s

 

[MagnumForce2]

Time to change some personnel.

I agree

 

[Panthaz89]

f*** Cozens then. /s

The funny part is that Cozens and Benson were the +3 tonight though I guess he did cause a goal by putting us on the PK by being a Sabre.

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

1 out of 4 points is disappointing considering that they played well enough to win both.

Last few seasons, they don't come back after going down 2 in the 3rd. That's progress.

Lukk was solid again. No complaints there.

 

[Intermission]

I agree

Not the time.

Now? No.

Not the time now..

Now's not the time...

 

[sabremike]

The lesson they need to take from today's game is GET IN FRONT OF THE NET AND GOOD THINGS HAPPEN.

 

[debaser66]

Adams needs to make a move NOW for a top 6 forward.

He figures out the obvious when its already too late.
His roster assessment & building skills are sub par.
Top6 F & Top4 capeable RD.

He made the moves he made and it created holes on the roster which he wasn't able to fix in the off season.

Now we have to rely on Joker with Power.
And Bryson with Clifton.
Sammy could be cooked already so I won't count him the way that he was playing.
Good to have Power who is still learning with a D that is questionable at defending and makes constant stupid unforced turnovers.
Its time to move on from Joker like 2 off seasons ago.

He will be hard pressed to make any move right now but he is failing for years to make the necessary adjustments because he is a noob GM.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

I said that I'd be happy if they went 3-1-1 for these last 5 and it turned out that is exactly what they did. I'll take it.

 

[MagnumForce2]

Not the time.

Now? No.

Not the time now..

Now's not the time...

Ok

 

[Intermission]

We're back to he who hesitates is lost.

The comeback was well deserved.

 

[goach]

Goalied again Great comeback for a point though

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

We don't have any games in hand, Lightning still have a game in hand, if you look at the bigger picture, the top of the division is distancing themselves meanwhile we are one loss away from being back at 500, last place Montreal is two wins away from being tied with the Sabres.

We need to be better to make it.

Does anyone have a mop? The Whiner Line is leaking.

 

[Chainshot]

Not the time.

Now? No.

Not the time now..

Now's not the time...

To change guys between PP1 and PP2? Yes. Yes it is.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

The difference between elation on a 3rd period comeback and this insane flagellation was a terrific save 3v3

 

[Chainshot]

They showed moxy in not quitting after getting down by two. Not their best, sure but still a point. We talked about how the Islanders seem to loser point their way into a spot. Well that? That looks like this.

 

[Chainshot]

Full marks to Cozens getting them back into the game and making up for his f*** up. Reminded me of Dahlin’s OT winner making up for the late penalty a few weeks ago.

 

[Diaspora]

So the Sabres' story this year seems to be:

Team predicted to be a playoff bubble team plays like a team expected to be in the race for a playoff spot and gets results commensurate with those of a team sitting at the edge of the playoffs. If the rest of the season plays out this way, they have about a coin flip's chance of making the playoffs, which would be the best result they've had in over a decade.

And the stress of everything going almost exactly as expected is driving the fan base to the edge of hysterics, with the kind of wailing and gnashing of teeth usually only seen in the Book of Revelations (or an H.P. Lovecraft short story).

This might be a little meta, but it's looking like the social media zeitgeist needs an enema.

I was entertained by the game. Would have preferred Tage bury that goal in OT, but nevertheless they played an even game. Two behind Tampa. One behind Boston and NYR. December looks big. I'm excited.
