26CornerBlitz Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 What cracks me up is the people who believe the players are in on the tank. They are playing hard and winning some games they probably have no business winning. But the main guy orchestrating the tank will have something to say about this very soon. Who's first to be traded? Myers? Stewart? Enroth? Yeah, they are still being severely outplayed, out-shot, and out-possessed by the opposition on most occasions. Enroth is saving their butts with other worldly goaltending. This stretch is an outlier and will not last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 "The Sabres have won eight of 11. They’re 9-7-1 in their last 17 games and that’s no small sample size. It’s more than 20 percent of the season." I don't think we've outshot a team all season, but these teams have to stop playing their backup goalies against us. That goaltender for Calgary was brutal.

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Can't Jhonas come down with season ending gall bladder surgery where he needs to go back to Sweden... You know, because they have universal healthcare or something? ;-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 These backup goalies for the other team! Yeah, Montoya has zero lateral movement. Enroth looked average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The one or two times I've gone over to read the game threads on SabreSpace - they seem to be mocking anybody who wants the tank, and are loving all this. It seems myopic beyond belief. This team is going nowhere. Why would anybody want to finish in 25th place?!? I'm so frustrated with them, and I don't get this thinking.

Remember a bunch of years ago the same thing happened here on the Bills side... Some wanted the Bills to tank and they got mercilessly mocked out.

Alaska Darin Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 This sucks! Welcome to more years of mediocrity. But, the dopes on Sabres Space get to watch a few meaningless wins this year. There's no way, with the Sabres' farm system, that this team should have "more years of mediocrity". One NHL draft choice isn't going to change much in the short term. The last "Connor McDavid" was Crosby and he was joined by plenty of other high round picks (Malkin, MAF, Staal, Whitney, etc) in the same time frame. The real key is hitting on more of the 2nd round + guys then developing and keeping them. I will give you that it's disappointing right now that they're in that mediocre area between "real lottery" team and contending playoff team. But the improvement of the younger guys over the last 3 weeks is very heartening and we may have really found us a goaltender. I'd much rather be in the Sabres' shoes than Edmonton, Carolina, Arizona, Winnipeg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 either way the Sabres will be fine... Risto, Girgs, and Zadorov look like the sky's the limit. Also happy for Nolan. with that said, a pretty brutal upcoming schedule over the next 20 games or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
