bbb Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Do the tankiest thing ever - and then be done with it!
26CornerBlitz Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 What cracks me up is the people who believe the players are in on the tank. They are playing hard and winning some games they probably have no business winning. But the main guy orchestrating the tank will have something to say about this very soon. Who's first to be traded? Myers? Stewart? Enroth? Yeah, they are still being severely outplayed, out-shot, and out-possessed by the opposition on most occasions. Enroth is saving their butts with other worldly goaltending. This stretch is an outlier and will not last.
QCity Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 "The Sabres have won eight of 11. They’re 9-7-1 in their last 17 games and that’s no small sample size. It’s more than 20 percent of the season." I don't think we've outshot a team all season, but these teams have to stop playing their backup goalies against us. That goaltender for Calgary was brutal.
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Can't Jhonas come down with season ending gall bladder surgery where he needs to go back to Sweden... You know, because they have universal healthcare or something? ;-P
bbb Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 How about missing a ton of games with pancreatitis, like Roger Crozier used to.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) @BuffaloSabres .@zadorov61's 1st of the season from Ennis & Girgensons to win it in OT. #Sabres improve to 3-0-0 on the homestand! #FLAvsBUF Edited December 14, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz
26CornerBlitz Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 Now we're starting to outshoot teams. These backup goalies for the other team!
QCity Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 These backup goalies for the other team! Yeah, Montoya has zero lateral movement. Enroth looked average.
plenzmd1 Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 so, asked earlier in the thread, and now it has to be asked again buyers or sellers? Officially closer to 8th then to McEichel.... i was facetious before...but no sure now
zevo Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I've given up all…I'm literally sitting here in disgust...
bbb Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 The one or two times I've gone over to read the game threads on SabreSpace - they seem to be mocking anybody who wants the tank, and are loving all this. It seems myopic beyond belief. This team is going nowhere. Why would anybody want to finish in 25th place?!? I'm so frustrated with them, and I don't get this thinking.

Remember a bunch of years ago the same thing happened here on the Bills side... Some wanted the Bills to tank and they got mercilessly mocked out.
zevo Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I've built myself into the mcdavid sweepstakes its hard to pull out….we are much closer to a playoff spot than to mcdavid….yet i still can't give in
bbb Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 This sucks! Welcome to more years of mediocrity. But, the dopes on Sabres Space get to watch a few meaningless wins this year.
QCity Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Homestand is over. We need to get on the road and start getting our ass kicked. Oilers fire Dallas Eakins Maybe this will inspire them
Alaska Darin Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 This sucks! Welcome to more years of mediocrity. But, the dopes on Sabres Space get to watch a few meaningless wins this year. There's no way, with the Sabres' farm system, that this team should have "more years of mediocrity". One NHL draft choice isn't going to change much in the short term. The last "Connor McDavid" was Crosby and he was joined by plenty of other high round picks (Malkin, MAF, Staal, Whitney, etc) in the same time frame. The real key is hitting on more of the 2nd round + guys then developing and keeping them. I will give you that it's disappointing right now that they're in that mediocre area between "real lottery" team and contending playoff team. But the improvement of the younger guys over the last 3 weeks is very heartening and we may have really found us a goaltender. I'd much rather be in the Sabres' shoes than Edmonton, Carolina, Arizona, Winnipeg...
May Day 10 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 either way the Sabres will be fine... Risto, Girgs, and Zadorov look like the sky's the limit. Also happy for Nolan. with that said, a pretty brutal upcoming schedule over the next 20 games or so.
