The Yotes are horrible
- SABRES 89

They looked so much like Buffalo tonight except they didn't get the loser point.

We will pick 3rd

And the franchise will be set back another 5 years, i'm not shocked.

They are, but unlike Tippett, Nolan is trying to win, granted its out of spite, but there's absolutely no reason to be this bad. You can argue that the sabres might be better, maybe by a marginal difference, but we're still getting points or are giving all of our opponents everything we have, so it comes down to the coaching and why they haven't changed a damn thing with their gameplan. If plan A hasn't worked in 20 games, you generally try to switch it up to plan B, but since it isn't working (technically from the tank perspective it is ) Tippett will keep churning out the same poor management until the end of the season

The Browns as of now will be featured on HBO's Hard Knocks.

Obvious tanks are obvious

This is why if we don't finish last tim murray should get fired along with nolan how he could keep on a coach who he can't instruct on who he wants to see play. Murray knew he was trading neuvrith and enroth and he hung on to them to long. So he could get a third instead of a fourth round draft choice. He should of said he wanted to see HACKETT and makarov in the last 40 games.nolan should of been fired awhile ago. If murray can't even lose properlyafter watching this horrible hockey for 2.5 years,he wont be able to win.

29th, here we come.

But then we'll win the lottery.

They don't have a Tyler Ennis who helps get them loser points. Offensively, not much difference.

Darcy is still screwing the Sabres, oh well out of my control, where ever they pick they pick.

Explain why we're set back another 5 years.

The Yotes are trying to win. They just have no offensive players left to score. They traded away Yandle and Vermette and Hanzal and Boedker are on IR.

They've only won 1 game since the trade deadline. It's the damn loser points that are killing us both for and the Yotes not getting any.

This again?

I know this again. So far the PEGULA Owned sabres have been a mess. This has been the worst stretch of hockey in the sabres 45 years and there have been alotttt of bad hockey. You finish last by 15 points last year,when it didn't matter, they made fans pay a lot of money to go thru this again and the entire front office and owner are tanking but they have a coach who is saying f you. Can you say dysfunctional

How does Hanifin help this team ? we need scoring we can't score.

ummmmm have you seen the roster? have you seen the goalies? No matter who they play, they play amazing. The offense is terrible. We have been last all season in scoring. Second last in goals against. We aren't good and we are losing at historic pace.

Can't blame anyone for this. GMTM did everything he could to make the team awful this year. He cant control the Yotes being this bad.

So why not fire him now??

Not buying that as much as people have been trying to sell it. Even with ECHLers, the general strategy of the Yotes is pathetic. They (yotes bloggers) keep syaing the same problems are plaguing this team: no rebounds and no traffic in front of the net. That is a problem that is addressed by the coach. Sure I have no doubt that the players are trying to win and their talent is preventing them from scoring with talent, but to not have bodies around the net for rebounds or tip ins or even the occasional deflection is not b/c of a lack of talent, its b/c they are just simply not in a position to do so.

If the coach tells them to play behind the net and from within the circles, that eliminates those second chance opportunities, which yes the talent less players will certainly have a harder time to score. Even really bad teams score on junk and deflections, yet the yotes don't not b/c of skill ,but coaching and strategy is preventing them from being in the position to make those unexpected goals or scoop up the weird rebounds

How does Hanifin help this team ? we need scoring we can't score.

He will pick Strome not Hanifin.

Murray has only been GM for over a year. He can't control that the Yotes or any other team would lose 17 of their last 18 games.

I didn't want Nolan back for this year and given an extension but I have no idea where that decision was made because I do not think Murray wanted him to be the coach after this year no matter what but that's juts my opinion.

Who says they're drafting Hanifin?

Who says trades can't be made?

Who says we won't WIN the lottery?
- grand-magus

Calm down, it's my opinion that's all. sure you can make trades not easy to do but you can.

He will pick Strome not Hanifin.

we will see soon enough I guess.

Who says we wont finish last? We are behind by three points. We will split with Arizona. And maybe get a loser point versus Toronto. We got this. People need to relax. Its out of are hands. Arizona will win one. No one loses that many straight games. It just doesn't happen. Remember those players are also playing to make a name for themselves. Someone will step up and help them win a game. I'm not worried till we are 1 pt away
