Tank Thread and Tanking GDT XIX: Tankception (BUF @ CBJ)

[indigoo]

Checked the score, we're ****ed. People still trying to hold BUF accountable for purposely tanking whilst AZ does this? Dammit!

It's almost unfathomable that he's riding Lindback right now.

I second that, I think that Ted Nolan does not give a flying ******* about the fans and the future of the sabres and knows he's gone and doesn't want this team to succeed after he's gone.....he is not a "respectable" coach just doing his job, he is going against the organization and he will forever be known as the coach that screwed over the organization to spite the fans.......NOLAN does not like the fans.....

everyone has been saying that if it comes down to the last week and it's still close then murray will step in, but it is bown to the last 2 games and we are hearing that we are starting our hot goalie in our best chance to lose.......WHERE IS MURRAY AND WHY IS HE NOT DOING ANYTHING, he has 2 chances left.......

JUST GET BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER IN COLUMBUS TOMORROW....they killed toronto, they should easily beat us....

If Lindback starts, it's obvious that it didn't happen.

It's not like Murray can force Nolan's hand.

Murray: Start Makarov
Nolan: No

Not much more he can do

It's almost unfathomable that he's riding Lindback right now.

Even more unfathomable is that it even matters. Lindback has given up 3, 4 and 3 goals in his last three games and is 2-1.

 

[TehDoak]

Wow a team out of the playoffs didn't show up to the last road game of the season?

OBVIOUS OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT INTERFERANCE

CALL THE PRESS. BEGIN THE INQUIRY


OR


Maybe out of playoff teams have no ****s left to give.

One of the two

Hope you get stuck in Todd Walsh's garage.

I got free tickets to the Journey/Steve Miller Band and B.B. King concerts from Todd's Garage.

Are Buffalo posters going into Arizonas board and posting garbage? Please, don't be that guy.




I'm still not nervous/concerned/worried about staying at 30th. Sabres will achieve what Murray wants. And no, I'm not full of ****. No, it's not that I don't care about getting McEichel. I just have faith, in the end, Sabres stay at 30

Your level headedness makes me calm. Keep it coming. I'm a wreck here.

 

[Husko]

Fire him and he becomes a martyr, guarantee we win out

 

[Bps21*]

The best part is seeing the "effort" Toronto put in yesterday and Arizona has today and knowing that our dumb ****s will give a season best effort tomorrow long after it matters for anything but screwing over their owner and fans.

And yet we are the team everyone questions and accuses

 

[zenthusiast]

If Murray wants them to intentionally lose, they will.

 

[Ralonzo]

I got free tickets to the Journey/Steve Miller Band and B.B. King concerts from Todd's Garage.

The 1978 tours?

I'm with you. One thing is for sure though, I'm going to be nervous as hell when I see Matt Ellis streaking down the wing and ripping a wrister.

God I never thought I'd ever write or even think those words. Seriously, **** the tank.

 

[Moskau]

Buffalo didn't exactly show up against the Islanders or Carolina. It just so happened Cam Ward blows.

 

[zenthusiast]

They won against bottom-5 teams, and not in overwhelmingly convincing fashion

 

[Husko]

I hope Murray has the stones to actually call up a crappy man like Leduc. If he calls up Rug or McCabe it'll probably be the first non-tank move I actually criticize

 

[couture23]

Guys. This is the Buffalo Sabres who have a combined 100 (!!!!!) regulation losses in the past 162 games.

Believe.

Advanced stats don't matter when there is two games left in the season. A few puck bounces and playing Nolan's defensive style with 6'7'' Lindback in net could cause us to slip to 29th. We are not giving 0% effort like the Leafs and Arizona do. We skate hard, battle hard, and shoot a lot of pucks on net. We score the 1st goal tomorrow night and I would wager we go into lockdown mode.

 

[Moskau]

Murray meddling would be the stupidest thing he could do at this point. It would probably have the opposite effect on the players. It's not going to happen.

Gotta get that point. Nothing more important than hanging on for at least one

absolutely this.

 

[Rhett4]

Wait, why is this game causing mass hysteria again? Ever since AZ won against SJ, it's all been about the Sabres hitting those 2 magic points. If they win tomorrow, I'll be scared as heck. As for now, I'm just watching a bad desert team lose. If it's any indication, this is what it should look like tomorrow for Buffalo.

Good thing we don't play either one of those teams then, eh. Columbus is one of the best teams in hockey right now. And that's a very bold call, we go into lockdown as soon as the puck drops in the first.

Terry Pegula has allot riding on a loss, just sayin
