The problem is, GMTM needs to find a way to do it without making it so obvious. Nobody is blaming the players for playing hard. They should. Nolan is an idiot, though -- he should be playing the young guys and getting them experience or showcasing guys the Sabres can trade, rather than pretending he's still trying to lead this team to a playoff spot.

shrader Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 They are 3-5-2 in their last 10. What exactly is going wrong here from the tank point of view? Arizona is the only team in the entire league who has put up less points in that same stretch. They are still comfortably in last.

Jeremy white has lost his ****.....Matthew Coller was brining a little more persepective to things and that its still strong in the sabres favor but Arizona seems to be the real threat....

BuffOrange Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Aren't the shooting/possession stats just as bad as they ever were though, meaning they're just hitting an unluc...err...lucky stretch?

Stats are poor, hot goalie play has more to them winning than luck. A goalie can carry a bad team. Just like earlier in the season when they won 10 out of 12 or something ridiculous. They can't afford to do that now. Edited February 25, 2015 by ricojes
BuffOrange Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Ya hot goalie to me falls under the luck heading. Otherwise you'd change 'hot' to 'great'.

Keep in mind that we're talking about a stretch where they are not winning games in regulation at all. The performance is still not there and this is going to catch up to them very quickly.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Edmonton still has a game in hand tho so thats good news for Sabres! CBF
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Maybe it is rigged. The NHL told them to start winning to make it look real. THey'll come in 2nd last, and still win the lottery. #ThingsFansTryToConvinceTHemselvesOf

CBF Everything opposite in this race to the bottom CBF. We actually have the game in hand, which means in theory "lead" for the Sabres is only 3. Its a mad, mad, mad, world in this race for McEichel

They are playing well on the road, that's not a good sign at all.

Forget about energy level, picking up points is not sustainable under that kind of barrage. And now add in the injuries on the blue line and Zemgus/Ennis and there's even worse hockey to be played.
