GDT: Sabres vs Bruins: It Ends Tonight

[yahhockey]

I wonder how high hockey IQ is for Sabres scouts?

They do some really dumb things with the puck.

Peterka, for all his speed and talent, is not a smart hockey player.

Do we have anything faith that the scouts have an understanding of hockey IQ themselves or can evaluate if a player has hockey IQ?

 

[Der Jaeger]

If you’re going to be mad at Krebs on that, you also need to be mad at Power. That was terrible effort to help their goaltender.

 

[HaNotsri]

Doesn't matter .. Seth Apperts video guy who was writing science fiction books 3 years ago didn't bother to challenge

Writing sci fi books is likely the greatest merit anyone of our staff has (except for Lindy).

 

[Der Jaeger]

Do we have anything faith that the scouts have an understanding of hockey IQ themselves or can evaluate if a player has hockey IQ?

Yes. Benson, Ostlund, and Helenius have very high hockey IQ. It’s who gets picked.

 

[SundherDome]

Why didn't they challenge? My stream died right after the goal but it looked obvious?

Not sure, Couple went into the crease himself, made contact and then scored. Based on every other call, it's textbook interference

 

[Mattilaus]

Does anyone have any faith we'd actually win a challenge if we made one anyways?

 

[SundherDome]

Yes. Benson, Ostlund, and Helenius have very high hockey IQ. It’s who gets picked.

Wahlberg too

Sabres staff are as dumb as the refs.

You lose 100% of the challenges you don't make

If you’re wondering what puck support for a center doesn’t look like, re-watch McAvoy going right through the middle of the Sabres defense.

 

[Ralonzo]

They win tonite. Steak ends

I'm calling steak ends on that.

 

[DapperCam]

Surprised Benson didn’t get called for something after taking 3 cross checks in the corner from Coyle for no reason.

 

[HaNotsri]

The 4th liners Adams heavily invested in really looks like 4th liners. Who would have thought?

I don't understand how adding multiple bad players helps us win games must be some multi dimensional strategy Adams is working on.

Just watched that replay. Man, that was sooooo goalie interference. How do the refs argue he did not make contact with Reimer? Unbelievable.

 

[Der Jaeger]

The keystone cops puck handling in their own zone is insanity

 

[stokes84]

This team looks uncoached. There is no cohesion. Guys are floating around in areas that don’t make sense. I just don’t understand how they are so fundamentally undisciplined.

In theory they would hit the other teams player really hard, which would eventually affect their play. In theory.

Please shoot in that spot Tage

 

[HaNotsri]

In theory they would hit the other teams player really hard, which would eventually affect their play. In theory.

That will make them angry enough to take the 15 penalties we need to score a goal?

 

[Beerz]

These guys just floating around the ice

 

[SundherDome]

Man, Boston looks like shit

 

[HaNotsri]

4 years later and the main piece from the Eichel trade is finally leading our powerplay. What a sight to behold.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

embarrassment of a franchise. Ruff is too old for this shit enjoy your family Lindy this will only cause undue stress coaching for this trash team

I disagree on the coaching. Too many low hockey IQ players making dumb decisions.

Thompson, Krebs (as a winger), Power, Peterka, Cozens (as a center), Jokiharju are all average to below average hockey IQ players who do dumb things with the puck. And when they do, it puts other players out of position. And you get what we are seeing.

 

[stokes84]

Our old friend, Kris Baker, has a TV gig now? That’s awesome. Some arc to go from HFboard poster to Sabres intermission guy.

Does anyone know what’s going on with the TV talent shakeup?

Its why we bought out Skinner so we could put Peyton Krebs on powerplay

Considering our season ends in december every year he can chill for 8 months. Pretty nice retirement deal.
