Seems reasonable to me

If we gotta depend on O’Reilly to score more...
then we need to play Larsson & Girgensons in more defensive situations to free him up for more offense

The lack of a productive 3rd line is hurting us

flip okposo to lw


okposo-eicehl-pommer
pouliot-ror-reinhart
kane-larsson-girgens

sad thing, what cost them tonight

lehner
scandella
ror


pretty much in that order

Call ups are jbotts department. Phil gets to choose between Griffen or moulson.

It's opposite of the last few years
Gmtm focused on just buffalo
Jbotts is focused on building rochester up
- Boss34

He can still play Girgensons or Larsson in the top9 instead of Griffith though
Heck,
Girgs has looked good on Eichel’s line & on O’Reilly’s line this year
Has Griffith looked good at all?
Not trying to bag on the guy
It just doesn’t make sense to me why a borderline AHL player is seemingly locked into the top9

Embarrassing effort tonight. Not sure who to blame. Coaching? GM? Players? Owners? Trump?

My would you handcuff kane with silent sam?

Kane is getting traded, playing him with eichel helps his trade value
Playing silent sam with kane hurts the sabres. It would also over inflate Sam's stats for his upcoming contact.

Think asset management

Those empty seats in Florida are pretty embarrassing

Oh wait

The fans at KBC are embarrassing. Falk made a beautiful breakup on a zone entry in (I believe) the second and i started clapping and I got dirty looks from people turning around to look at me. My seats were also directly in front of the camera crew and they were sarcastic and negative all night.

I honestly think all season tickets should be cancelled and people can reupif they truly want them.

The "fans" that go to the games are embarrassing. They're way quicker to boo for a menial play than to give props for a good play.

What happened to his #1 fan?
Would love to hear his defense of Lehner tonight
Ugh

I said it a little over a month ago, the entire environment at the Harbor Center is toxic. Believe it yet anyone?

Kane was scoring last year when he played on the 3rd line
What makes u think he needs Jack?

He can still play Girgensons or Larsson in the top9 instead of Griffith though

Good point , he could play Griffen less. Sam played just over 13 minutes today. Maybe phil is working in some of the other guys

It’s just Sam lol
- GERBE!!!75PTS

No it’s really not, jack needs to be an impact player... he’s not been this year... sure he has some nice plays but to be the #1 guy he needs those to turn into 5-7 plays a game when you say did you see that play he made even if they don’t result in goals.

Your not old enough to see gilbert Perreault but every time he was on the ice you thought he could score, same for patty La la, mogilny etc. if jack can’t produce that kind of impact the Sabres made a huge mistake giving him that contract.

Now it’s Pegula’s fault that the fans don’t cheer?
The arena has been quiet for years

It's bad. It was 1-1 most of the night, and you could feel that the fans were waiting for an excuse to turn on the sabres

Obviously this 3rd line of Sam & Griffith isn’t working
Why is Housley keeping it together?

Winning solves everything, watching this you can’t put it on the fans.... the team is bad...

How did sam and baptiese look?
What are the fans supposed to do. Just think of the comments on this board, but paying to watch it too. Everyone is waiting for something to happen, the sabres have beat the fan base into the ground.

Dude, we've already established you don't understand poop-all, can we please move on from this non-sense?

It's the jaded season ticket holders' fault. They'd rather boo than cheer. You can tell they don't want to get their hopes up and lose. It's really depressing in there

They were invisible. Most of the team was. Idk if it was visible on tv, but late in the 3rd ROR and his line were on the ice slamming their sticks on the ice trying to get the crowd pumped. It was bad

Obviously this 3rd line of Sam & Griffith isn’t working
Why is Housley keeping it together?
- jdfitz77

Honestly thinking housley is in over his head, and I️ really wanted him but this defense is a complete mess, grated he not had his “top” 6 guys play one game yet.... but.

What happened to his #1 fan?
Would love to hear his defense of Lehner tonight
Ugh

He’s just not the guy
- jdfitz77

If you’re talking about me I’ll say this.

Lehner looked floppy all night, but he only let in 2 - though I didn’t see it - the guy on the radio said the second goal was a total screen and Lehner had no chance.

If you think the goalie giving up 2 goals was the big problem tonight you need a wider lens.

Even in game we are winning the fans at the arena are quiet
Been that way for a while
