Post-Game Talk (GBU): Still Not Winnin' for MacKinnon

[Chainshot]

The Good -

- Cementing their status as worst team in the league

The Bad -

- Repeatedly terrible plays by supposed top 4 defensemen. Sekera, Ehrhoff, Regehr, Myers all made any number of poor plays tonight.
- Error-hoff handing one to Grabner.
- A complete lack of urgency from almost everyone to a man for almost the entire evening.
- Hey Marcus, where is that emotion in the first period? Or the second?

The Ugly -

- Sulzer hurting what looks like a knee so more TJ Time.
- This can still get worse and be so for a long, long time.

Just make a series of lateral trades at the deadline to shake things up for next year

 

[indigoo]

Awful showing after the first goal; completely folded. Thought the team was "hanging in there" until then. Won't blame any of it on the coaching change; that whole ordeal HAD TO BE DONE. Right now it's clear as crystal this team is just ****.

 

[zenthusiast]

This team misses Derek Roy

 

[S319R11S16]

If I'm Rolston i decide to actually go in the locker room after this one

 

[1TuchAnd1NoTuch]

This team misses Derek Roy

We are way farther than a roy away from being a good team

 

[zenthusiast]

We are way farther than a roy away from being a good team

Sure, 6 or 7 pieces

 

[WNY to NoVA]

so now that rolston has seen this for 2 games, can we get some new lines and d pairs?

The Good -

Easily.

Worst Sabres team of my lifetime.

 

[HockeyH3aven]

Trade everybody. Seriously, Vanek, Pominville, Miller, Myers, everybody.

Keep 'Hoff, Sekera and Ott.

I'm worried about Grigorenko. They need to get him out of here. He looks completely and utterly useless on the ice.

 

[Dreakon13]

The scrums at the end of the game were the most exciting things the Sabres have done/had happen all season.

Not everyday you see Miller in a headlock.

 

[dma0034]

When is the next time the Sabres play the Bruins..... I want to see a win

 

[Driftwood]

Good: Tipping point game, Regier fired tomorrow afternoon

 

[stokes84]

I'm at a loss. They were the better team for the entire game, then they allow the first goal and it snowballs into a 4-0 loss against the Islanders at home. The lack of leadership is so apparent.

 

[Stockey]

Sabres will come in 30th and lose the lottery.

Good: Tipping point game, Regier fired tomorrow afternoon

I wish, but realistically maybe in the offseason if they miss the playoffs

Good: Tipping point game, Regier fired tomorrow afternoon

He should have been fired when Ruff was.

Why do we want him involved in trade deadline and draft

 

[Sunny Leone*]

I have watched weber all year so far, he is our best defenceman
By far. Very steady and rarely makes major mistakes.

 

[Moskau]

There's absolutely zero reason to trade pieces like Vanek in season.

You wait until the draft for a team looking to speed up a rebuild to do that type of trade.

 

[Karate Johnson*]

If?

Really?

 

[Sabreality]

G: only 29 games left...and not 63

 

[zenthusiast]

He should have been fired when Ruff was.

Those are the two things he's done well in of late?

 

[dma0034]

How much would someone pay me to take their season tickets

 

[SabresFan26]

Good
1-3-1 Powerplay
Lots of Chances
Nabakov
Top draft pick ensuing?

Bad
Miller getting Run, no one besides Weber doing anything
Not finishing chances
D Zone coverage
Fans

Ugly
We really are that bad as a team

Teams overpay at the deadline.
