But there not good at this point.

I think our top 9 forward group is probably the deepest it’s been since the early 2000’s.

I can buy the injury excuse to an extent, however, the fact that none of the kids got a sustained run (aside from Big Richard Benny) and how they utilized the roster during the first few months of the season pissed me off.

Or how about benching Ryan Johnson over Clifton or Erik Johnson?

Or heck right now playing olofsson over eric Robinson on the 4th line

The list of mistakes by Donny is staggering this year.

One game the Sabres were down by 1 goal with less than 3 minutes left. Donny sends out the 4th line needn’t a goal

It’s pathetic.

Good post

I still like Donnie, he’s just still making rookie coaching mistakes

He definitely loves that 4th line and plays them in some odd situations

Kulich with a huge game 3G 1A

I'm told he sucks, 1st round loser.

Trade Savoie. We have enough Savoie types.

Was it too much to ask for a better defenseman than any of those 3?

Raanta is Comrie. No thanks.
- Sabretooth9

He is nothing like Comrie, he's having a off year. But his Career stats make Comrie look like a Clown!

Enough with the Comrie experiment. Two years of....

- starts off well
- gets hurt
- sucks

Send him to Rochester with Olofsson or Jost.

Assuming this season is toast, the Sabres need to ride UPL and Levi to see what they have moving forward.

He would help some of our scoring woes, and you hope he grows his defensive game as he goes. But really no where to put him at this point. Adams got himself in a bit of a pickle.

Agreed

I like to think I’m a realist.

When I cheered for losses when some thought we had a good team, people hated my guts.

When I think the team is good, now I’m a rainbow grifter.

Comes with the territory I guess.
- Swedish_Jesus

Its not realistic though lol

I dont think its a 75pt roster but it surely isn't a 110pt roster either. They will need help the rest of the way out

Tage is out, not an injury excuse…it’s personal

Sabres' lineup vs. Bruins:

Skinner-Jost-Tuch
Peterka-Cozens-Quinn
Greenway-Mittelstadt-Benson
Olofsson-Krebs-Okposo

Dahiln - Samuelsson
Power - Clifton
Ryan Johnson - Erik Johnson

Levi in goal. UPL backing up.

We dont need Benson, Kulich, Savoie, Rosen and Ostlund.

Aslo Kisakov, Poltapov, Wahlberg

Trade for a physical young top 4 defender with some snarl or even package for Tkachuk for anyone not named Kulich or Benson.

I know it will never happen but man I hate how Adams just keeps drafting small skilled forwards with no plan.(yes I know Wahlberg is not small but is a forward)

I still think this team can end the drought this season 🤷🏻‍♂️
- Swedish_Jesus

lol shut up

Topias Leinonen didn't even make the world Juniors roster

What a stupid pick when there was so many good players on the board.

No Tage tonight ?

Personal reasons, not injured.

So no Tage and we replace with Jost? That’s some Kruger type move there. What in the actual fook.

Kinda crazy right. Does he last the 1st period?

Jost on the 1st line, i've seen it all now. Donny doesn't want to win.

I’d have given Krebs a look on that line to not mess with the other two lines.

Maybe by the 10 minute mark lol

Reports are he was reading Ralph Krugers book before the game.

1 shot, 1 goal, gonna be a long night.
