honestly the quick fix for the bottom 6 was right in front of them

bring back gionta for a 1 year

overpay for kunitz for 1 year


kane-eichel-reinhart
pouliot-ror-okposo
kunitz-larsson-pommer
girgens-josefson-gionta

Ok,
So how is it ROR & Jack’s fault that J Botts didn’t make those types of moves?

Were ROR & Jack in net?

And let it sink in...
that was goal number 4 & 5 scores by someone not in our top6 for this season
That’s a joke

I can’t believe you’re even arguing this
It’s utter nonsense
- jdfitz77

you are defending our foundation on the 30th place team in the nhl in year 3


they are part of the problem


and next year that's 17.5 mil of the cap, that is suppose to be the solution


kane will be gone, then how is ror and eichel going to look with pouliot on the top line and girgens on the second line
(waits for gerbe to chime in and say eichel's production will double)

Ok,
So how is it ROR & Jack’s fault that J Botts didn’t make those types of moves?

if we were in 20th place, you are 100 percent correct


we are one point out of last freaking place


no way do those 2 get a pass

I have been on a 2 month rant about Accountability on the Sabres, or more so the lack of it ...maybe our 4th line grinder brings the leadership craved by this rudderless shipwrecked collection of players ...

From BN article this am:
“I think we've got to start holding guys accountable. Start being honest with ourselves and our teammates," ...”When we're turning pucks over and not working hard, it kinda (gets) swept under the rug and we've got to, if someone does turn it over, if they don't chip it in at the red line or blue line, we've got to say something.”

Finally.

Locker room interviews are on demand on the GR app. Nolan’s is a good listen. Sounded like he is calling out Eichel. Hamster said every player was made available, which apparently isn’t always the case and the first time Hamster can remember it happening since Drury demanded it after an Ottawa game.

The Oil just clobbered the Wings. I’m interested to see how the Sabres are going to respond. Sink or swim time

Gionta would have signed for Seth Griffith money.
- Der Kaiser

you are correct


actually it was 1 mil for the season

Xactly, Accountability!

Here’s the problem on the Sabres. There isn’t one of them on the team who is holding themselves accountable that has the basis to challenge others.

Jack to ROR - dude, what’s with the loafing on the backcheck this year? Need more from you there.
ROR to Jack, yup, like when you glided back on that power play the other night?

Kane maybe? Nolan?
- IonSabres

Crosby went 11 games without a goal

Amazing how that didn’t kill the Pens
Maybe bc they have other players that can help!

ROR & Jack can’t do it in their own

NO two players in the league can


And I’m not saying they can’t play better...
just saying it’s NOT THEIR FAULT

if we were in 20th place, you are 100 percent correct


we are one point out of last freaking place

- homiedclown

Please highlight a quote where I’m “giving them a pass”

Yeah, they can play better
No, they can’t “carry a TEAM” by themselves
NO 2 PLAYERS CAN

And if they’re playing with Girgs & Pouliot on their wings next year,
then that’s a failure of management
It doesn’t mean they’re bad players

Are u drunk right now?
U aren’t making sense

And I’m not saying they can’t play better...

so they get the pass

- homiedclown

Saying it’s “not their fault” isn’t the same as “giving them a pass”

Sober up & eat some Turkey

This is epic level over exaggeration from you

You’re better than this

check the standings

then get back to me

- homiedclown

Malkin- 21pts
Crosby- 17pts

Jack- 18pts
ROR- 16pts

So you’re telling me that the 4 less points our top2 centers have is why we are in 30th?

That’s literally stupid

The reason,
is that the Pens have much more talent around their top2 centers that we have

Again...
you’re better than this

So, when in a rebuild it is common for teams to bring in veterans to provide direction and help mold the younger players.
-Moulson, not so much, needed a severe kick in the ass ultimatum
-ROR, by actions maybe, but not by holding others accountable
-Okposo, maybe by actions, has his own issues to deal with, ain’t in a position
-Pommer, by actions only, his failed Captaincy proved he is a soft leader
-Pouloit, not seeing it
-Kane, umm ‘nuff said
- Bogo, see Kane

Then the kids ... don’t get me started

Crosby went 11 games without a goal

Amazing how that didn’t kill the Pens

Please stop putting Eichel in the same conversation as Crosby. Until he starts proving he is worth a damn, doesn’t even belong in the same conversation with Scheifele or Monahan.

check the standings

then get back to me
- homiedclown

Check your logic & get back to me...

Syd & Geno have ONLY 4 more pets than our top2 centers...

So please explain how Pittsburgh is SO MUCH BETTER?

It’s not ROR & Jack’s fault we are 30th

Good grief...
bunch of dilusional whiners on here

Now that Nolan has scored, Moulson is in the corner like



Happy thanksgiving! I'm thankful for Pach for writing this blog, for Eichel being a Sabre and for this fun group of commentariat

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

- Hatboro_Swords

ROR & Jack... 34pts
Syd & Geno... 38pts

Wow... weird how close that is, huh?

I guess it makes sense though bc Pitt is in 29th place, right?
Oh, wait

I sent everyone a voice text, Happy thanksgiving friends!!!!!

From what I remember we all were saying not to resign Gionta and that it's time for Eichel to take over this team. This 4 A system has the team looking like a bunch of individuals playing.

Eichels production is good for how this team is playing. He is learning on the fly how to be a leader.

It’s not ROR & Jack’s fault we are 30th

Why is it that when p expletive fail to get others to agree to their position, the name calling has to start?

Fine, my apologies

Why is it that ppl have to constantly overreact?

Jack & ROR have FOUR LESS POINTS than Crosby & Malkin...
but it’s their fault we are in 30th

That just doesn’t make any damn sense

Fine, my apologies

Why is it that ppl have to constantly overreact?

the team is in 30th place, 1 point out of last place in year 3

they have gotten worse each year instead of better


every player needs to be looked under a microscope given that

nobody gets a pass

I agree. Each player needs to be examined carefully, as an individual, and as a teammate, but the performance of the entire team shouldn’t be the blame of a few select people.
