Some of these comments are amazing. More than halfway through the game last night, the Sabres had SIX shots on goal. At the end of the game they had only 20. The Bruins completely dominated every aspect of the game, except a guy who has played like a seive for most of his career - the guy some people said absolutely proved our evil tanking intent - had the best pro game of his life. And this aberration should lead to the firing of our general manager?

I don't know how Irbe keeps making chicken salad out of chicken poop, but he can stop already.

lol No.... I'll take risto, zads, kane, reihnhart, and whoever we draft this year any day of the week. We were not good with those guys. We were missing playoffs with those guys. I love the spot we are in when it comes to young talent. Regardless of us screwing this up we are going to be in a better place because of the rebuild.

That being said I will be very very disappointed with anything other than 1/2.

If we miss out on a generational talent we miss so much. Special treatment from the league and the media. Outdoor games. A place big time FA's want to play. It's a massive failure.

Keep in mind this was something that Darcy started when he moved Pominville and Vanek.

What is going on right now has zero to do with the GM. He's given Nolan chicken sh!t to work with and he's somehow made chicken salad out of it.

Oh come on. I need to reed more.

Idk why we are giving Nolan credit and or blaming him... It seems like whatever goalie we play they end up playing at an elite level. It's not like the team is suddenly playing at a high level and beating teams

Goaltending has never been the issue with this organization.

Don't get me wrong i don't blame the GM exclusively. This was the presidents doing as well as anyone else high up. I blame anyone associated with that logo. If they fail they fail. I'm not in the mood for excuses.

The GM went out and got the worst goalies available.

He can't make them not stop the puck.

Ok, worst case scenario of us picking 3rd. Do we trade that pick and our other first for a player in the league already or almost NHL ready? Someone in the same situation Kane was in where they want out. I am not even sure who I would target but maybe it will help distract us all a bit ha.

Irbe is amazing. He has done it with three average to below average goalies now.

Excuse

Edit: if you're going to make excuses for failure, then we never should have tanked in the first place, since the fanbase was just going to make excuses anyway.

Excuse
- Buffalo-Sabres

How is that an excuse?

Did he or did he not trade for 2 of worst goalies in the league?

Also we haven't failed yet. They're still in last place.

Thank you for the thoughts guys.......

Interesting Sabres Note of the day (from ESPN)

The NBA's worst team, the New York Knicks (13-53 entering their game vs San Antonio) , and the NHL's worst team, the Buffalo Sabres (19-43-7 entering their game at Boston) were both winners on Tuesday night. It is just the third time this season that both the Knicks and the Sabres have won on the same night.


Who's job is it to realize that has occurred, or has the wherewithal to know/want to analyze that information.

Chad Johnson should play more. True Story.

Howard Simon is exactly the annoying Sabres fan I hate listening to.

3/26 and 3/30.
- dadeadhead

those games will determine last place. Larson, Ennis and Lindback better with be out with a "lower body injuries"

Howard Simon is annoying.

Fixed. The Whiny Anxious Dad bit is tired

Ochotanko would put up a .940 save % with Irbe as his goalie coach.

Better than the 970 Linback just posted. It figures that the worst goalies in the league are standing on their head

I encourage everyone to go to the WGR on-demand audio section, pull up hour 1 of the Howard Simon show, and jump to around the 12 minute mark. Listen for 5 minutes. Grab your popcorn.

Normally those type of goalies do that against us...................

How about no.

12 games left, plenty of time for this team to screw this all up.

I'm listening to this now. I just remembered why I switched to Sirius.
