Incredible 2 way player; eats tons of difficult minutes against the opposition's best players on a nightly basis... He's a hell of a good 2-way C and we miss him enormously. I don't miss drunken donut because he was a douche bag who gave no effort and took a loser's way out. If things were bad, step up and be a leader. The fake act to get a ticket out was disgraceful. Eff him. 1
K-9 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Hutton looking like Sabre Lehner. Lack of a quality #1 goalie is our biggest issue, especially given the game Housley prefers to play.

Sure they do, but that trade was not made for today. So only looking at this season to evaluate it is kind of pointless. The Sabres knowingly passed on what he could add right now in exchange for a couple prospects (I’m including the draft pick there) and cap flexibility a year or two down the road.

That first goal goal was just awful... Some of these shootout moves are getting really questionable IMO, as far as forward momentum goes (not so much last night, but I’m seeing it more and more around the NHL). Like this one - No goalie stands a chance on a shootout attempt lik that. I don’t think a guy should be allowed to basically almost come to a dead stop in front of the goalie + deke him out. If it doesn’t violate the forward momentum rule (and I think it could be argued either way) it surely violates the spirit of it. Guys are are going to keep pushing the boundaries until it gets called, though. IMO if it’s close it should be called. Or they should adjust the rule to make guys maintain a bit more speed. 2

K-9 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Time for old time hockey. Bogo needs to decapitate MacKinnon at the first opportunity.
K-9 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Dahlin has a long way to go as a Dman. Like, light years.
K-9 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I think I figured out Housely’s strategy. It involves having the opponent skate circles around us the entire game until such time as they wear themselves out and we get a chance.
plenzmd1 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) What did jack do? Anyone have a clip? found it Edited March 9, 2019 by plenzmd1
plenzmd1 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Outshot 40-10 with 5 minutes left. When you quit on coach... what is the answer?
K-9 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Housley with the patented move to have Sobotka take a key O zone faceoff in the left circle (‘cause, you know, that’s his specialty and all) with our goalie pulled in favor of the extra attacker; worked like a charm. 13 minutes ago, plenzmd1 said: Outshot 40-10 with 5 minutes left. When you quit on coach... what is the answer? The answer is to just be patient as JBotts fills the roster with All Stars over the next 8 years and Housley can finally show he’s a good coach.
K-9 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Not encouraged by the post game remarks. It’s clear that the players and Housley are not on the same page. Players say we need to be more physical, Housely says gotta execute before you can be physical. WTF does that even mean. I am officially concerned that Skinner will look to sign elsewhere of this keeps up.

BillsFan4 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 There is going to be a Rochester Americans game on tomorrow (Sunday) at 3pm on MSG. Its the last one being broadcast on MSG this year.

You could have Ken Dryden in goal, but it really doesn't matter when (a) you don't score and (b) you're getting outshot 40-8 through the first 50 minutes.
