They have NTC's and do not want to come here. Not even Lindy could change that.
Also Kevyn: And let me give up one of our best overall forwards whom we spent years developing for said player because we can't afford to pay him slightly better than Olofsson money.
Ehhhhhhh. Not sure about that one man.
How long until NTB's -- Not To Buffalo -- become a thing?
Did you happen to see the Isles bottom 6 for this game? It was reminiscent of those you would see on pre Vegas expansion teams. I'm only half joking when I say I think if Rochester had shown up and thrown on Sabres uniforms tonight they probably win unless their sieve of a goalie stunk the joint out.
Yes. The d-men were extra bad. At least 3-4 times horvat and others got behind the D including the goal.
The bigger problem among the d-pairs is the worst one, Power/Byram
They literally brought back the entire staff save for replacing Ellis with Appert. Somehow I don't think the Chicago White Sox are going to keep virtually their entire coaching staff for next season.
It's why I don't fully blame Adams for this team. He's doing the best he can when you consider majority of players don't want to play here.I think it already is mate
He traded a very good one who did for a guy who is as worthless as a screen door on a submarine.
Historically, every team as they then begin to play at a higher level than they ever would have here. It shouldn't be hard to find a trade partner for every player on this team
How many more wins do we have this year rolling Greenway-Mitts-Zucker as our 3rd line instead of Greenway-McLeod-Zucker.
The Sabres were out worked and out skilled in many different situations and categories. Board battles, battles behind the goal lines, loose pucks ended up on Islander sticks rather than the Sabres. The Islanders give the Sabre little time and space and play a tight checking style. Almost 5 on 5, man for man. The Sabres ice awareness and situational decision making was quite deficient throughout the game. Just two slow and unpolished. NYI forwards harassed and shredded the Sabres D with speed and quickness while the NY D collapsed towards their own house and made it difficult for the Sabres to penetrate the slot. The Sabres repeatedly... esp on the PP and extra attacker situations were forced to keep the puck on the perimeter and send one timers and slap shots towards the net. Easily blocked and recovered by the Islanders. Power's goal was scored at the goal mouth. Cozen's goal was an open net on the backside as he charged the net. I don't remember the last Sabre goal but it wasn't a finesse tic tack toe play.
